a former (male) obgyn i saw told me to practice abstinence when i said i had multiple partners but used contraceptives and condoms. it makes you feel shitty.

I can’t speak for Sarah, but I was both sexually assaulted as a teenager, and have a really long and unfortunate history with the medical profession. Just going to the doctor’s office gives me a panic attack. The idea of sharing intimate details about my sex life with them - complete nightmare.

1) It’s not always easy to overcome internalized feelings of shame associated with sex and sexuality, particularly when you’re feeling afraid and vulnerable in a doctor’s office and/or you’ve grown up in a culture that makes a lot of value judgments about sexual activity
2) Some doctors ABSOLUTELY will shame and blame…

Considering how indoctrinated women are into thinking their sexual activity is shameful — by parents, by other adults, by politicians, by religious folk, by society in general — it’s not surprising at all.

Nope! This guy didn’t even bother to get the details of the job or what went wrong. The way I understand the whole thing goes something like this: his social media person (also maybe his lawyer? he said something like, “we have a lawyer who handles these social media things” so I was a little baffled by what even…

I guess then it depends on the type of business. To me, restaurants are mostly subjective. There are some standards to uphold, but I’m the kind of person who doesn’t care as long as the minimum quality was reached.

Agreed, but there’s a difference between a one star review for “My drink took 10 minutes” and one star review for “I’m out $1000 and this contractor did a shit job I have to pay even more money to fix.” One is overkill, the other is probably not.

As I read down the list, it eased my worries about doing an unpaid internship over the summer. I’m of course getting credit toward my senior competency requirements, but I also didn’t want to end up doing bitch work. I’m also not really sure you were referring to internships, but I took it as meaning “any work without…

I got two demands when working for free. (1) I will work on it on my own time. I will not move my schedule of paid work to put their project on my top priority to do list. If they want it done at a certain time they will need to pay me or find someone else . (2) I have full creative control of the project/whatever it…

Other questions:

If you have to think about doing it, the answer is simple: no.

Don’t forget: Is this volunteer work? I know that’s similar to “Do I care about their mission? Can they afford to do this professionally?” but it’s really not the same. Sometimes I donate labor to my church that I know full well they can afford professionally, either because I can do it better or because I simply want…

In a way, yes you are right. But in another, you are so wrong. Take something like dried fruit. I realize fruit has sugar, so if I eat some fruit the sugar is going to be fairly high. So I buy some dried pineapple (as an example). It says it has 32 grams of sugar per cup. OK, what does that mean? Pineapple is high in…

That said, fruit juice concentrates are now considered a sweetener if they’re not diluted back to their original strength.

That’s my thought, too, but really I’m just interested to watch how people (and companies) react.

Nope, they specifically tightened up that loophole. Concentrates are added sugar no matter how you add them.
