No worries, that rant was right up my alley! I mean, most doctors are still using the BMI which we know for a fact is a useless and scientifically nonsensical calculation. How is that supposed to leave us feeling about our doctor's credibility?

Oh my god, I can't believe that "the lights just went out" is a COMMON thing people say about vaccines. Besides being obviously incorrect, it's such a gross way of describing autistic people and I can't believe anyone would apply it to their own child. They might as well say "My child is irrevocably broken and I would…

On the one hand, I'm thrilled that so many people understand and agree with the point I'm making, since conversations on this topic tend not to find much middle ground or understanding of both sides. On the other hand, I didn't quite realize how many horrifying medical stories I was signing up for!

I see that, but it's still a little bizarre to have a character have triplets but have them never appear on screen or be part of the plot at ALL. It feels more to me like it was too much of a pain to cast the triplets so they just didn't write them in, and it feels awkward. I don't need it to be the main plotline, but…

I simply noted that you would have to be a man to miss the point I'm making so completely. Yes, in theory there may be cases where a man knows more about feminism than a woman, but I am talking about how, in conversations about feminism, where everyone involved knows about feminism, men like to say "I'M a feminist and…

Dude. This article is literally about men who, under the guise of claiming to be feminists, have sexually abused and raped women. Your biggest concern is whether women are a little hyperbolic in their response to it?

Lemme guess, you're a man?

She is actually a terrible role model. Here is one of a few horrible rape jokes she's made recently: https://www.facebook.com/OfficialMindyK…

There's like, a brief moment where you get a picture of them in one of the most recent episodes. It is definitely weird and is one of the reasons I'm not overly thrilled with this season so far. Why bother introducing the triplets plot lines if we're never going to see the triplets at all?

Babies on sitcoms are always either creepily silent or inexplicably absent. It's not a major surprise that they did this as Mindy Project has been floundering for story lines for awhile now, but it's not going to add anything.

I hear that, it's just that in practice so many men who call themselves feminists are full of shit. Also, there are different strains of thought within feminism about whether men CAN even be feminists— and while I totally disagree with those who say that men can't be, often men who say they are "allied with" rather…

There are variations of this that wouldn't bother me, but my issue is that the guy is conflating feminism with a particular set of traits he values. Say you like confident women, OK (although this does tend to bother me because if you understand feminism you understand that women live in a world that tries every day…

The concept of enthusiastic consent is more about looking for the "presence of yes" rather than the "absence of no". So even if you weren't feeling actively enthused but said Yes, that still counts.

"dependent only upon the actor's knowledge that the individual is unconscious."

That is a really interesting take, the idea that they think their healthy habits will keep them from getting sick. This is something we're sold by both mainstream and alternative society all the time— that getting sick is your fault and you can prevent it by just being healthy enough (this is also why we love to hate…

I was at a party and someone mentioned the insanity of anti-vaxxers and someone said "Well, vaccines ARE just another way for capitalism to control our bodies". You could hear crickets from miles around. It was kind of great .

This is the best apology in the history of flipped-out all-caps apologies :D

Ummmm yeah, I'm not an OBGYN but I'm pretty sure it could still hurt your baby if you start doing meth after 12 weeks.

They say that like it's a bad thing.

I have as much disdain for these idiots as anyone else, but I do hope that this causes the medical community to do some soul-searching about WHY so much of the country has so much distrust for doctors and medical science, because they are culpable in it. It's incredibly difficult to get reliable and compassionate…
