I was totally moved by this movie — ended up going the birth center route, midwives, was planning on taking my placenta, did meditation, and acupuncture, hypnobirthing, the whole 9 yards. I was only at the birth center for about 20 minutes when my babies heart beat dropped — my midwife had told us mere minutes before…
I’ve seen it and I agree with divingmissm.
You know what Ricki Lake ain’t? A FUCKING DOCTOR.
I actually think the midwife model of care with certified nurse midwives is fantastic. Both of my kids were delivered by CNMs and the training and education they go through (and regulation and licensure) is top notch. I do not think direct entry midwives are a good idea because as a consumer you just don’t know what…
CNMs are insanely qualified and have so much training and education! I think a lot of times various articles don’t make a distinction between CNMs and other types of midwives (usually Certified Professional Midwife I think), where you can kind of just get certified in without even being an RN, and can’t even legally…
I love how she says she’s not trying to scare women off the pill. Well it sure sounds like that’s exactly what she’s trying to do by mentioning vague scary long-term effects of “messing with your natural cycle.” (as quoted in the previous Jezebel article about this) I wonder if I could raise a bunch of money to make a…
This is like a reverse racism comment.
Being a thin woman in America is as hard as being a white Christian male.
Genuinely teared up watching this video as she started quoting scripture. You’re a hero, Bree.
100% admission.
THIS. The contrast between “that’s not harassment, all you have to do is unplug your computer!” and “but they’re bullying us!” is just too rich. It’s like they can’t even hear their own words.
I like how they use minorities and women as a shield against criticism of their racism and sexism using the hashtag “#NotYourShield.”
I had an English teacher once who used to say "the guilty dog barks first." I tip my hat to him for giving me the perfect saying to encompass this situation.
So, let me get this straight...GG, according to itself, are not the ones who are harassing Wu and Sarkeesian. BUT when Oliver brings those women on to talk about their harassment and no one says Gamgergate, it’s still about Gamergate according to Gamergate.
Remind me again what Hugh Hefner has been doing his entire fucking life?
Rachel, sweetheart: you’re self-absorbed, you’re in love with the sound of your own voice, you steal things from black people and claim them as your own, and you tell black people what to think. I’d say QUITE A FEW things about being white describe who you are PERFECTLY. Shit, you sued Howard for reverse racism, which…
Reposting, because fuck this noise:
You mean the UK which has a higher number of term stillbirths, and the Netherlands, which has a high rate of perinatal mortality (see PERISTAT-II)? Epidurals do have risks, but what about benefits? Does anyone wring their hands about pain relief with the exception of a uniquely women’s pain? No, just women’s pain. No…
