Welcome to science reporting! The news source doesn't matter; none of them cover methodology well.

Oh! One more comment/anecdata. I have a FB friend who came out as gender queer a few years ago and recently got the top surgery. They* seem so much happier and comfortable in their own skin now, after a lifetime of self esteem issues. I have no idea whether this surgery was covered by their insurance or if they…

Glad I could help. Full disclosure, I'm cisgender and certainly no expert on these issues, so if a trans* person tells you or blogs about how it's not like this at all, it would be smart to listen to them.

It's on my calendar! We'll have to make badges that say " < / sarcasm > Please have sex with me! < sarcasm > "

If you want to draw parallels between gender reassignment surgery to an equivalent breast-related operation for cis women, I think a breast reconstruction after a mastectomy (covered by insurance) is more comparable than an elective breast enhancement (not covered). With the reconstruction, my understanding is that…

The difference (that might not actually be there - already admitted that I'm probably grasping at straws) is the "I deserve it" vs. "It would be charitable of you". They absolutely both are examples of "but I waaaaaaaant to!", but one is a marginally more humble way of dehumanizing another person. Or something. ...…

We're just going to make all of April "Have sex with someone who we stereotype as not getting laid very often" month! So based on what you said, we should make April 4th the "Have sex with a shy, awkward person" day.

Is "they could have great impact" any better than "these guys deserve it"? Because as horrible as this guy's idea is, it sounds about 4% better than the usual MRA swill. Or maybe I'm just desperate to see good in the world today where there really is one, and emotional blackmail (impact!) is just as bad as feeling…

It doesn't matter if $12.18 is higher or lower than however much people you know who went to college are making. If she was hired at $18/hour, and ends up having to work more hours due to the requirements of the job but not getting paid for them such that her salary is deflated to $12.18/hour, she's obviously being…

See, here's the beauty of this plan. Most of the people who signed onto this are at the end of their Republican careers, no longer concerned about campaigning. The junior members can still campaign on hatred, and then just "grow out of it" when votes don't matter anymore. No slippery slope! It's a win for…

Oh good. Sorry, it's hard to tell who here is a troll post-Kinja days. Carry on!

This carton of chocolate frozen greek yogurt I'm eating right now has 24 grams of protein.

This particular product is marketed to men on the assumption that they're too insecure to buy yogurt now. Judging from my own personal anecdata (my partner - male - eats way more yogurt than I - female - do), this presumption of insecurity is a load of crap. You have every right to be offended by the accusation of…

Yes. This.

Mandoliniment was on to something with "grow up already" though I'd like to see it appended with something like "She should stop acting like such a 9 year old already".

I can't tell if you're kidding or serious.

Oh right! He's consenting, so it's all okay.

What was that about feminism having met all its goals? Because I thought a pretty feminist goal was to get men to stop treating us like meat. Or does it not count because this slimy author is still a boy, and clearly not a man?

Um... if you scanned it and shared it here, many of us would get tons of amusement too. Just saying.
