Do Doctors Treat Fat Patients Differently? (by DNews)
Laci, you are so on the money. One of the basic struggles often mentioned in FA is the ability to find a doctor who will not blame all of your most irrelevant ailments with weight, purely from their obesity bias. A recent investigation revelated that doctors recommend weight loss to patients even when data suggests they should not be doing so, simply because “they cannot bring themselves to NOT suggest weight loss” to fat people. For myself, when I visited Planned Parenthood 5-7 pounds under the “obesity line,” no one said a word, while my follow up a year later, where I was just about 5 pounds over, I had two separate nurses checking my blood pressure (um?) and all sorts of pamphlets handed to me and warnings about birth control not being as effective for overweight women. The care CERTAINLY drops at a certain ‘cue’ BMI. I was hardly 10 pounds different than before.

It reminds me of that famous Margaret Atwood quote: “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” It also reminds me of something written by one of the mods of Sex Worker Problems: “Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills.”
I mean, it’s just true.

“Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills.”
That’s it. That’s it right there.

Lana Del Rey songs make me feel sad and nostalgic about things that haven’t happened to me
She does the nostalgia thing way too well, doesn’t she?
You know how people are always worried about if people can hear their thoughts in class? Well I had one of those moments where I think someone might have.
So I was staying after class to talk to my professor. This really handsome boy from Nigeria? was talking to the prof and I went off teenage-boy daydreaming thinking “Wow he’s so manly he must have a big black dick, I want summa dat.” (Bear with me here,) There was this English woman who was also staying after class and after the thought crosses my mind, she turns and looks at me like she heard EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT. Oh man I was terrified and so amused. SHE KNOWS MY SECRETS

Fifteen rape victims have formed martial arts movement and are prepared to confront abusers if no one listens to their complaints…A GROUP of women are fighting back against the sickening culture of rape which they say infects India. Fifteen determined females – all victims themselves – have trained in martial arts and are prepared to hand out rough justice if no one listens to their complaints. And the movement, called the Red Brigade, is growing rapidly following the gang rape and murder of medical student Jyoti Singh Pandey that horrified the world.In a nation where a woman is reportedly raped every 20 minutes, the group’s leader Usha Vishwakarma said: “We are fighting back – and the boot is now on the other foot.” Member Sufia Hashmi, 17, said: “We’ve caught a lot of men recently. I joined because men always used to pass comments on me and touch my body but now we beat them and they run.”Like the other members in the northern city of Lucknow, 25-year-old Usha has first-hand experience of the daily dangers women face in the huge nation – a teacher tried to rape her when she was 18. She said: “He grabbed me and tried to open my trousers. I kicked him in the crotch and ran.” Usha complained to staff but they told her to forget it and allowed her attacker to carry on teaching. She said: “Many parents tell girls to quit school so there will be no sexual violence. But we said no – this has to stop. We decided to form a group to fight for ourselves, not just complain.” MORE
I’m sorry but I’m not sure there is such a thing as “the last time”. The performance never ends.
People mistake ovulation and menstruation to be the same thing when in fact they aren’t
Ovulation is when the eggs are saying “hello friends I am here”
And menstruation is when the eggs are saying “goodbye friends I am gone”
