“When your nose catches a whiff of the shit coming out of your mouth”

meanwhile rapists walk away with no jail time :(

I’ve been attending Chicago pride since 2004 and there has definitely been a shift. What before felt like a wonderful celebration has instead become a destination where (straight) people can get drunk in public. the parade felt so, SO corporate last year. every other group was a politician looking for votes or a…

I happened to see this extremely bad take. It was incredibly frustrating and disturbing. I want to quote a different commenter, who has some academic experience in these matters. This is from Arnheim:

Yo c-sections are hard to recover from! My mother wasn’t allowed to bend over or take stairs for weeks after I was born, and I imagine these restrictions plus the general recovery from surgery makes it so much harder to take care of an infant. Women who get c-sections need extra support, not more shame

I’ve been reading this book, “My Cesarean” and there was this quote that really stood out to me, and I want to share it:

Yes, I got horrific migraines on one kind of pill. Ended up in the ER with the first one because I'd never had one before, thought I was dying. Both the ER doc and neurologist they referred me to told me it couldn't be the pill causing it (I'd been on it for 2 weeks). I stopped taking it and the migraines disappeared.…

The “Wellness” bullshit comes from DECADES of women being ignored by medical science. It comes from women who have been told that they’re “hysterical”. It comes from people who can’t afford healthcare. 

As someone who recently nearly died likely because of my birth control pill at the ripe old age of 29 (hello, pulmonary embolism), I find the woo-woo concerns about hormonal birth control really frustrating. I had originally gone on birth control to modulate my extreme depressive swings around my period (in addition…

Thing is, we all knew that. The show was just kind of not good for the last few seasons.

Botox. He’s using botox. 

Nutrition: The formulas may or may not contain all the nutrients required in the U.S.

EXACTLY! Read about how terrible US based formulas are. Our high rates of obesity, etc. This article is stupid and assumes the FDA has our best interest at heart and not the lobbyists that control it. Laughable, do better. 

I am a lawyer. If I walked into the office with my cleavage out, I would not be taken seriously.

How about, instead of buying into the fucked-up idea that what women wear = who women are, we start breaking it down? Obviously, there is appropriate clothing for different jobs, because I’m not going to roll up to a construction site in a suit and heels, but it would be NICE if you could stop with the judgement.…

Maybe you should think about why people believe that a woman who shows skin looks like a floozy.

And how certain body types, no matter how much they cover, are just viewed as sexy anyway. 

I hate to break it to you, but it’s not just the religious zealots. I live in a coastal suburb of Los Angeles that is usually at least partially progressive. Whenever two or more moms from my kids’ middle and high schools are gathered, the topic turns to how slutty the girls dress. These aren’t baby boomers, they’re…

Huh, you don’t sound like a fervent supporter of breastfeeding.
