How I know that tv is bullsht: they show women working out, eating, running, tending to pets/kids, functioning, without their long hair in a ponytail.

I agree, but also think that people considering #Time’sUp “political” are either stupid or making (necessary, but pretty unaware) concessions to evil. There should be nothing more “political” in saying that sexual harassment is pervasive and has to stop than there is something “political” about supporting children…

She’s not allowed to make political statements. William is president of Bafta. Why should she sit out? Can we stop vilifying women who aren’t doing Times Up well enough?

It didn’t come off as condescending to me. The resistance to science is real. I get it, I just had a baby, I was annoyed as hell at all the rules. Sure, there’s no way to completely protect yourself and sure, most lunch meat doesn’t have listeria. But shit, if we KNOW there is a risk, why not advise against it?!

I’ve come to the conclusion that most husbands are probably bullshit. Three weeks ago my husband and I were buying new appliances washer/dryer/dishwasher and the sales lady was SOOOO impressed when my husband mentioned a feature he was looking forward to using. She said ‘dishes and laundry! You’ve got a good one’…

Except saying “don’t drink at all” is sound science because it’s an application of the precautionary principle, which is, you know, good science. It’s saying “Scientifically, we cannot pinpoint when alcohol consumption becomes problematic or becomes likely to result in fetal damage, so the precautionary principle…

They can’t do a study because it would be unethical to put pregnant ladies in a drinking and non-drinking group. And the full NYT article talks about how gathering evidence after the fact is difficult because moms don’t want to participate and self-report their levels/times of drinking. So the CDC has to err on the…

Cue the “my so-and-so relative drank and her kid turned out fine” stories. No one knows the border between okay and not okay - it’s a risky game for something totally unnecessary. To be honest, if you can’t go without alcohol for this period of time then you might have a problem. Once the baby is born you can post on…

I really don’t understand the resistance to science here. Alcohol reaches your baby and their developing liver at the same concentration that it reaches your brain. If you are buzzed, your baby is trying to metabolize it with their tiny organs.

I find that way too many people joke about excessive drinking in general. Alcoholism isn’t cute or funny, guys.

a prime example is what serena williams went through when she gave birth to her daughter. even though she had a history of blood clots, the nurses and doctors ignored her when she asked for a ct scan. they finally gave in and lo and behold she was forming blood clots in her legs.

People keep seeing ‘they’re trying to stop her abortion’. And thats all well and good...but its not the biggest issue.

At the time she couldn’t win. Had she fired the dude and he sued, HUGE Hillary ballbuster story. Another made up scandal for her to deal with. And for her response now, I don’t know, she probably can’t say what I’m thinking she wants to, which is “Oh, go fuck yourselves, I did my best to balance what needed to be done…

I sincerely hope 20-something years from now this little girl, now a full grown woman, has an eureka moment and say to this guy “You were a police officer, a figure of authority with the task of serve and protect. You had my mom right in front of you, in desperate need of help. And your answer to that human being,…

I did research on workplace sexual harassment in law school. I’m hardly an expert, but a lot of my research showed that a reason some victims do not come forward is that they do not actually want to ruin their harasser’s life and get him fired. For some victims, they want a more restorative approach (counselling,…

I saw the statement in Facebook right after it was posted, didn’t even think about the SOTU. I liked the statement, I understood her reasoning and her regret. She makes no bones about the fact that hindsight is 20/20, in fact she devoted one of many paragraphs to that idea.

I don’t think food safety experts would recommend keeping milk at 98 degrees for hours at a time.

“I do not have a baby, but I have a sous-vide circulator”

If you’re by yourself, yes, that’s weird as heck and also deprives the staff of actual money. But if you’re with a group, come on, it’s just rude of the restaurant to side-eye the one person out of six who happens to not be hungry but wanted to be with their friends.

“Small government for my money, big government for your pussy.”
