Thanks for posting about Tokyo Fashion Week! Would love to see more Fashion Weeks from around the world. Showcasing a diversity of fashions from various cultures (with hopefully a diversity of models to boot) sounds like a great thing.

That's horrible! I went through something very similar with my chronic migraines. Everyone told me they were menstrual and the pill would help even when I was getting them 20 or more days out of the month. Then I fired my PCP, switched gynos, and the first thing she did was refer me to a neurologist. She was…
Yes, I certainly hope that doctors are being careful who they prescribe to, but I was more specifically talking about in articles such as this one and conversation. This article ends with, " maybe don't take the medication that lets you have a modicum of control over your future," suggesting to the uninitiated that…
Do birth control pills make anyone else very, very sick? I have tried a few different brands, and they have all made me unbelievably nauseous. I throw up almost every day, and I had to stop taking them completely because I can't miss so many college classes due to unexplained puking. I *want* to take birth control,…
Companies need to make better provisions for the fact that their employees have lives and that shit happens. Pregnancy, illness, injury— all are conditions that can happen at any time, and the latter two can obviously happen to men. Companies are cheap and if they can get away with making one person do the job of…
Family planning does shit-all for determining when you will get pregnant. Neither humans nor science can yet dictate when you will get pregnant. You just decide that you want to try, then you keep trying until you're lucky enough to get pregnant, and if you're not lucky, then you try for a really long time.
Maybe you should read all the responses before...you know, why is someone so reactive working with very large animals? That doesn't seem smart at all.
Anyway. One, when someone can't do the job because of pregnancy, what employers all over the world do is to hire temps. Because pregnancy doesn't last forever. However,…
I'm sure that when you get pregnant, you will have your body schedule the days when you can't move without puking, and tick "no" to the various painful/medically-iffy things that happen to women throughout pregnancy. Then they won't happen. It's very inconsiderate of your colleague not to have done this.
Some women feel great when they're pregnant. Other women spend months feeling like they're going to die. And there are a whole lot of variations in between.
No I read it very correctly. I didn't see their comment as smug at all, rather quite astute. That person also said "safe and affordable." If someone was a gov't employee in a state with one clinic that provides abortions, she would have to travel a ways, and that costs money. It's your comment that I find smug, or…
Yes, BC and abortions exist, but sometimes people want babies. If the gov't agency can't handle it, they need to hire more people and shit. Women can have babies whenever they want.
i have to say, as a non American I find it really odd that the "she chose to get pregnant" bit gets thrown around so much in a country that fails to provide safe, affordable access to abortion or birth control.
She knows here you can't fire a pregnant woman, so she is using it like crazy.
The saint bit is something you brought yourself to the reading. I don't think you'll find anything about saints in what I wrote. And I can't speak for others, but I looked for absolutely nothing, in terms of who the kid would be, when I had one. You have no idea who people will turn out to be. Certainly I didn't do…
Well, come back and call it bullshit after you've spent most of a year bent over teaching someone else to walk. Or five years wiping someone else's ass multiple times a day. Or getting up and doing things for other people for three hours before you get so much as a cup of coffee. It might piss you off, but this is how…
Not calling in sucks, but she has probably been very sick for the past few months, right? I'm terrified people will talk shit about me when/if I get pregnant, but I made my mom so sick that I almost killed her in month 3, so I'm anticipating being super fricking sick for months.
Sounds like your co-worker is a crap employee and your boss is a crap boss. That sucks, for sure.
Let me put this more strongly: If you're out there pissing about pregnant colleagues, you've been brainwashed and taught to piss like furious men on the women who, in general, do more for other people than anyone else in the world does, usually without pay or promise of any security. And the terrible thing is that as…
