St. Munchins in Limerick, which I think has expanded it’s women’s health services to what is now called Limerick Regional Maternity (but I’m not positive). I’m not sure about now, but at the time I think it was one of the only maternity hospitals in the area. My parents lived in Ennis/Doolin at the time and travelled…
I’ve always explained my resting bitch face as a reaction to being able to smell the patriarchally oppressive bullshit going on all around. But I like this too.
Are you me? If not, can we tag-team celebratory events to list off the ways in which said celebration contributes to the oppression of marginalized persons around the world.
It ended quite well. I’ve survived 22 years without being swallowed by hellfire and my parents make a mean soda bread. I’d say that’s a win for us.
Transphobia is not something I “don’t like”. Transphobia, misgendering, and willful ignorance like what’s being displayed by this man are actually killing young trans people across America. The fact that you can’t tell the difference shows that you’re pretty transphobia yourself.
Seconding this as another irish person. The hospital that I was born at in 1993 was (obviously) a government-funded Catholic hospital with what were essentially in-house men and women of the cloth. Because my parents were unmarried at the time of my birth, two sisters and a father came to my mam’s room to try to…
Should I enter the WPP or will they be able to find me anyway with their highly sensitive lizard tongues and maliciously stubborn lizard vengeance?
Honestly if someone told me that Josh Duggar was a lizard person trapped inside a human skin suit filled with mayonnaise, I wouldn’t be surprised.
Yeah I understand how philosophical reasoning works. So should doctors not ere on the side of caution for those who can’t or won’t be moderate then?
Actually, because most research tends to be conflicting and hinges on research subjects being honest about their lifestyle choices (as you hinted), the general consensus among most of the scientific community* is that they have not identified a “threshold below which alcohol consumption during pregnancy is definitely…
I’ve never been pregnant, nor do I ever plan to be, but the reason why doctors tell women no alcohol whatsoever is because there isn’t enough research at the moment to understand how much alcohol ingestion causes fetal alcohol syndrome. I used to work with obstetricians, neo-natal nurses and pediatricians who said…
Who exactly are you talking about here?
Using the literal definitions of language of oppression is problematic because, as most people know, misogyny, racism, classism, takes many forms and none is necessarily more or less problematic than another.
AHHHH yes your last point is so important!!!! Talk to your kids about how “x” person is a talented artist in whatever field they produce, but also that it doesn’t detract from their talent to recognize that there’s problematic things going on there. Thank you for mentioning this.
No, don’t apologize at all! I’m totally down for having a conversation about artistic freedom.
I’m really REALLY not into the idea of separating the artist from the person in this case, or in most cases. At what point are we going to start holding artists accountable for the work they produce and the effect it has on social politics, particularly young people? If you want to make the argument that he’s a…
Because Drake is a misogynist, in this song and in others.
Allowing people to make oppressive statements without calling them out isn’t any better than making them yourself. You personally are allowed to be fine with what James Smith said. I, and a number of other people, are not and we are voicing our objection because even Caitlyn Jenner in all of her reality tv glory…
He’s allowed to be conservative, of course. But I can call him out on being the type of uninformed America who believes that an entire government administration is at the beck and call of one man and thus chooses to blame said one man for everything he perceives to be wrong with government action. I can also call him…
