I was surprised by the high number relative to population . I have tried to find the statistics of european countries, but I didn’t have much luck. But judging by the statistics here, USA have 0.67 women killed by her intimate partner for every 100000 women. Australia has 0.25 if my math are not wrong, Spain had 0.33…

It’s surprising how many times I have had to remind people that women are not a minority. Specially talking about representation in fiction. Like, no, most people aren’t straight white able young men, that is not the reason why most characters are like that.

No, I know what colonialism was, I know the history of my country, and I’m not proud of it. That doesn’t justify this:

First of all, I don’t see how the things that somebody did, centuries ago, justify the suffering of all their descendants, and everybody that just happen to live in the same country (as most of my ancestors in the last 2 centuries were pretty poor, and not very good with that “reading and writing” thing, I really…

When I was in high school I used the boys’ bathroom once. I couldn’t stop coughing, and my teacher told me to go drink a bit of water. The boy’s bathroom was closer and empty and I didn’t want to miss more class than necessary so I went there. I didn’t know that it was such a terrible thing. Now I wonder if I have…

It really is! There is other video in that site about sitting with a bustle and it says so there (around the 2:20 mark)

Maybe this is where the tradition of the gentlemen pulling the chair out for the ladies comes from (and opening the doors of cars for them). I always thought that it was very stupid, and in fact, waiting for somebody to do that for you seemed like a bother, but I can see it being something that a woman dressed with…

I’ve seen other theory that seems to make sense to at least some species: They are predators, and since they are very good hunters, their hunting instinct can make them kill their mate accidentally. They can turn off their hunting instinct. In the case of females, hunting their mates can be more of a accident without…

Ah, I see. But still, I think that it’s a complex issue because some models of legalization could help them get better protection from a economic viewpoint (getting a retirement pension and social benefits, etc) that they can’t get without it. I don’t doubt that certain models can be very damaging, but I think that in…

I don’t see how incarcerating prostitutes can help them in any way. They are the victims or they are there by their own decision. If they are victims, being a victim is not a crime. If they aren’t, they aren’t harming anybody. For that reason in some countries, pimping is illegal, but prostitution isn’t.

Not saying that there isn’t racism in Spain, because of course there is, there isn’t any country that isn’t racist, but that “recent history” was 2 years ago. There are regulations in place so it doesn’t happen again, and if it happens, football teams could be fined. Until not so long ago, Spain had very little…

I have the same experience with period cold (not so often now, but very often when I was younger), and talking with other woman a few days ago she said the same: she had colds more often during her period and improved as soon as her period ended.

Yes, just like that :)

I live in a region of Spain that was very poor some decades ago, and it wasn’t uncommon for some men to choose to be priests just because it was a good job and not because of faith. The affairs were so common that there are lots of traditional songs and tales about the sexual relationships of priests and their maids…

I have read some academic papers about homosexuality and perception in society and I remember that there was one article with data of a survey about role models of homosexual people when they were young. Lots of people told they didn’t have someone they could identify with when they were teenagers, and saw themselves…

Spanish police had advice to prevent rape in its webpage. Some of those pieces of advice were “Close the curtains at home”, “don’t put your name in your mailbox” or “don’t be alone with a man in a elevator”. People critiziced it and the had to remove them. But, you know, maybe just being always at home would be…

Probably not. I’ve seen photos others examples of similar things. The text looks “interesting” for some people there in the same way people have t-shirts or tattoos with chinese characters even if they don’t know what they mean. It’s like this

They are considered a delicacy in certains countries

I like Korean drama and I sometimes have looked to information about actresses that I liked to know in what else have they starred. The profile has their weight and they almost always weigh less than 50 kg (110 pound)

Ausonia has some statistics from surveys to women about menstruation in every pad. Like statistics about what women find more conforting, how many women have avoided the beach because of the period, or how many change their habits during those days. I think that they are interesting.
