I’m with you. I’ve watched her videos and was surprised to read here that they’re considered exploitative. Many of her videos are devoted to ridding patients of blackheads, a practice she admits most dermatologists avoid since it’s time consuming and not medically necessary. For patients with an abundance of them,…

Do you feel the same about medical research studies in which subjects with specific conditions are paid for their participation - when the treatment may not even do anything for them (or they may even be receiving a placebo)? Should doctors be required to forego payment for such (elective) procedures for patients that…

It feels wrong to me, but at the same time, if we banned the practice people that can’t afford these procedures just wouldn’t be able to get them at all, and I don’t know if that’s really better...

As someone with supremely fucked up skin on my feet and teenager like pimple growing acumen in their thirties, don’t you dare try and take away my cyst draining videos. I will burn this website to the ground.

Team Lee.

She’s right; she is normalizing something a lot of people are embarrassed about and therefore less likely to seek medical attention for. There’s nothing exploitative about this since (at least in the ones I’ve seen) the videos don’t ID the patient.

In the afterglow of Thanksgiving, I’d like to take a moment to be thankful...Dear Lord, I’m thankful that social media did not exist when I was that age. I’m thankful that I never got herpes or a DUI or even a bad tattoo. I’m not sure how I managed that, but thank you forever and ever. Amen.

I have a teenager, and I can tell you that you don’t have to be Mommy Dearest to have your kid sullenly trailing behind you.

I do not believe Mariah Carey cooked a damn thing. That’s not how you hold a spoon when you’re cooking!

Let’s stop conflating infidelity with abuse and assault. Infidelity is bad enough, no need to make shit up to try to make it worse.

Not quite there yet.

Regarding Al Franken: His actions were horrible, but at what point do we can we stop painting everyone with the same brush? He was a comedian, albeit one that I never found particularly funny. He’s clearly joking in the one picture that I saw, and grabbing someone’s butt during a photo in the past sounds like a…

Maybe because their job is to talk about clothes and not the body underneath them?

That person is her doctor, not a bunch of people on a blog.

Because her weight is none of our fucking business.

Comments like the OPs are why people ask why we dont teach men not to rape as opposed to teaching women how not to get raped

And it’s this devaluation of sex workers that makes conditions like these possible in the first place!

Don’t shame women for survival work. Your comment only helps perpetuate the devaluing of sex workers. Women will rely on survival work as long as we suffer sexism, racism, colorism, transphobia. Fix that instead of calling sex workers “gross.” Come the fuck on.

Gwen,

Obviously, Kevin had mental health issues stemming from his incarceration. We need to do more to improve access to psychiatrists and social workers after prisoners are released.

Sigh I was drunkenly recapping this show for my partner (tl;dr Ross is one of those annoying self righteous people who readily fucks over any of his loved ones for the “greater good”) and he asked me why I still watched it. Because of this:
