You don't think you could have worked towards a PhD in mathematics if you lost 8 IQ points? I think you could. That was the average loss for these adolescents. So, if you went from 140-something to 130-something, they're not saying you can't be a successful adult, they are saying that in a study with a control…

#snarkycorrections: You say that there is no empirical evidence that attachment parenting is better. Not true. The goal of attachment parenting is a "secure attachment" as a foundation for life. Attachment theory is well established in psychology, and secure attachment is considered better than insecure or…

Oh, that's a new theory of parenting, actually. Elimination Disneyfication. I believe Jezebel calls it a part of "progressive parenting."

Okay, you're going to have to explain how Baby Wise fits under the rubric of "progressive parenting," not that you defined the term. Do you just mean "trendy ideas about parenting"? Because Baby Wise sounds like the very opposite of progressive parenting to me. I feel like articles like these just further demonize…

'Is there any other time that "preventative surgery" would be considered normal?'

First, ugh. But second, one *does* wonder in what way the injuries were "consecutive"??? How ridiculous. You have to imagine three 250-pound people walking in in a row and injuring their doctor somehow in a way that has nothing to do with her behavior. Whatever, lady.

The benefits of establishing breastfeeding clearly outweigh the risks of feeding small levels of opioids to an infant. But that said, I wouldn't say that it is generally okay to take Oxycodone while breastfeeding. The studies say it is fine for 2-3 days since they ingest very little while you still have colostrum. …

Funny that you haven't seen Mortimer in anything else. I think of her as prolific! She was on 30 Rock, she's in movies like Elizabeth, Hugo, Shutter Island, Our Idiot Brother, Match Point, Lovely & Amazing, Lars and the Real Girl. I always notice her in stuff for some reason — you should give her another try. :-)

Me too! Especially because I work for said civil liberties organization!

No.

I'm not sure what your problem is here. It is true that any entity that offers a public accommodation will be "forced" to accommodate all members of the public without discriminating. That's the country we live in and it is what is right. If you let bigots be bigots on their own property that is open to the public,…

Sure, but if 10% of all women have an endocrine disorder that usually involves high testosterone levels and 40% of self-identified lesbians have the same disorder, then that is interesting, right? I'm no biological determinist, personally. I'm in the Cynthia-Nixon/-I-chose-to-be-gay camp.

Well, yeah, it's all fun and games until you want to make some gaybies!

Yes, a disproportionate number of lesbians have PCOS, definitely.

Yeah, for me it would more be an issue of signing a contract with someone who is not following the contract, regardless of who is actually, statistically at risk for what. (I was an egg donor too.)

Especially interesting to me is the fact that some folks think up to 40% of lesbians have PCOS, which often includes irregular or skipped ovulation and an 'abnormal' hormone ratio. I think a lot of people thought, well, maybe we're queer in part because of these hormone differences. But maybe part of the reason for…

Okay, now explain to me what being "fashion-forward" has to do with it, headline writers!

No, you are officially way too young.
