Yeah, I understand there’s a reason for it, but any time I’ve been with a male doctor I’ve either been alone, and have been completely comfortable, or they just had a female PA/nurse in there and didn’t like creepily ask me if it would make me more comfortable.

I’m not sure which part you are talking about, but I was desperate for a solution........ he did not end up solving my problem, hah.

I once went to a doctor who had pencil drawings of Reagan, Georgie Sr, and Georgie Jr hanging in his office. He asked me what I was studying in school, and when I responded archaeology, he said “Oh so you’re into all that ‘we came from dolphins’ stuff huh.” YOU ARE A PHYSICIAN. YOU DONT BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION, YOU DONT…

Generally because pro-gun people think their gun will be the magical one that saves lives when the bad guy with the bad gun is shooting up a school/mall/church.

But... sometimes even a very smart person wants to watch something with low intellectual stimulation. I spend 80 hours/week being a smart person for JUST school, never mind articles I read for fun, listening to NPR on way to and from school, etc etc. God forbid I want to watch an hour of some pretty people doing inane…

Buildin? Am I supposed to say B-H-L-D-N?

Yeah thats the thing.... according to him, stuff doesn’t bother him. I’ve had convos with him where i’m like “Surely SOMETHING I do is irritating to you.” And he always just kind of shrugs and says no. When I reeeally pressed him last time we had this convo, he said he didn’t like that I leave the shutters open when I…

Thanks for the advice! This is the kind of stuff I feel like we need... everything is just so complicated. I am in grad school and have like 0 time to myself. I’m working 80 hour weeks, he is working 40. As a result, he does probably 90% of our day to day chores.... he does a TON for me. So whenever I bring something…

Relationship question!

Man, I was in Fiji at this backpackers resort (the kind of place you expect fairly environmentally conscious people to be - no electricity, no hot water, etc), and we looked out at the MOST beautiful coral reef I’ve ever seen, and THERE WERE TWO PEOPLE STANDING ON IT. STANDING. ON. IT. It was horrifying.

Yeah, my mom tried so hard to give my sister and I names that couldn’t be made fun of. She did pretty well, except my name starts with Mc so I get Big Mac, McNugget, name a McDonalds menu item.

Wow, you are incredibly mean.

Lol, nvm. Gotcha :)

You don’t get this? Any water below your body temp you will eventually start to feel cold as you and the water attempt to reach thermal equilibrium. Even if water is 85 deg it will start to feel cold once you’ve been in there long enough.

Haha, gotcha. Yeah, amongst my friends we totally martyr ourselves, though, so I guess that’s why I felt like I got it, lol. There’s a lot of “OMG dental school is so much harder than med school and no one even gives us credit!” hah. Which, frankly, is true ;) But then we don’t have to do a residency unless we want…

Man, I so agree with you... except I totally get it. I’m in dental school, and patients ask “Why is dental school so long anyway? What could you be learning?” Like they don’t get WHY just a DENTIST would need the same schooling as an MD. So, while I probably won’t ever complain about the amount of money I make as a…

O_O

You are really kidding yourself if you think men cannot experience sexism. Does their experience of sexism differ from women’s? Yes. Does it generally affect them less negatively than it affects women. Yes. Do they experience nothing negative at the hands of the patriarchy? Sorry, no. If you truly believe men have…

OK, when this ran, everyone was hating on pinky rings. I have a lapis pinky ring that used to be my moms that I loooove... I didn’t know pinky rings were frowned upon :( why are they tacky?

Agreed!
