“You get a KAZOO!” “You get a KAZOO!” “YOU ALL GET KAZOOS!”

See my posts about horrible gynecologists and I can kind of understand your mom’s fears about doctors.

Sometimes. I live in the rural south and gynecological care was done away with at the county health center. You can still drive 30 miles to the free clinic, but that isn’t always easy for people on the edge.

Planned Parenthood was the only place I got decent gynecological care as a teenager/young adult in the late 1980s-early 1990s. I hate that people are afraid to go there now because of stupid political opposition not based on fact.

It is good to know that it isn’t just me that sees how awful this branch of medicine is and that even other doctors see how warped US gynecologists are.

I am so sorry. I have had similar experiences and I think it just part of the basic training for gynecologists in the US. :(

Because gynecologists have been taught since medical school to humiliate their patients whenever possible. Last visit (and all visits except when I was pregnant) to a gynecologist in the US, I was told to strip and put on the lovely paper gown provided and wipe all the girly germs off my lady bits with an antiseptic…

Then you have older women who are so worried about being called fat and having fat blamed for everything wrong with them. I care about my health and I still get all stressed out about going to the gyno because my first “gynocologist”as a college student misdiagnosed my yeast infection as genital warts (I had only had…

I love this. Sometimes the anti-religious homeopathic nuts can be as bad as the religious faith-healing nuts. SCIENCE NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT TO CHILDREN!

I love this!

To clarify, many biblical scholars believe the word used by Paul translates more closely to male prostitute or relations with underage male prostitutes. Some also note that the syntax in New Testament passages mentioning homosexuality in the original Greek are entirely different than the syntax generally used by Paul.

No. There is actually a lot of debate on the translation from Greek to English in the New Testament. No English word directly translates from the Greek word used by Paul.

I am so sorry. Arbour wants to claim this was comedy, but good comedy looks beyond easy targets. “Fat” people are easy targets. I am sorry you are going through this.

Never saw Garden State, but I’m guessing it’s my generations “Singles.” And who hates on Bridget Fonda or Kyra Sedgwick for being a part of Singles? I really hate feminists who hate on women for doing their jobs, because said women doing their jobs failed to become properly enlightened.

THIS!

I knew, just knew, fighting polish and yoga nerd were my nerd kin. I’ve never seen Garden State, but if you hate Scrubs, I have doubts about you. Scrubs was hilarious. Even when an episode failed, the series won.

Exactly, I’m so cool that I hate it. Because I’m above mainstream.

What the actual fuck is this critique? Make fun of a young actor for taking a role and criticizing her for not understanding years later that we’d all be making fun of her later. Do you expect her to go back in time and not take the role? Do you expect her to kick Hollywood (the source of her livelihood) in the nads…
