The Lack.

it’s so important to follow people on tumblr who watch tv shows that you do not watch because sometimes they will put gifsets of beautiful women on your dash and you get to look at them

Today's Seal Is: Vandalized

i really enjoy looking through reddit threads related to death metal because the replies sound like a groupchat for cartoon villains

my real most controversial opinion (even on here probably) is that i genuinely do not see it as horrifically evil when a woman/girl abandons their baby somewhere. even for dead. or gets a late term abortion. or even kills her children. she wouldn't have done that without a very good reason. she could have been traumatized and afraid, or genuinely not have the means to raise that child.

i remember watching a vid a few days ago about a 14 YO girl who abandoned her newborn in a dumpster after giving birth alone. 14 FUCKING YEARS OLD!! she could have murdered that baby and i would not hold it against her if i'm being honest. imagine how traumatized she must have been. the comments were FULL of people saying she has some responsibility despite her age, perhaps she does, I don't care. there will ALWAYS be someone sympathizing with and wanting to look after an abandoned baby. but the poor traumatized mother will be seen as the inhuman scum of the earth.

my sympathies will always, always lie with the woman/girl, she has hopes, dreams and fears just like everyone else. her humanity is not forfeit, and i can and will value it over her child's, because no one else is going to. 'evil' women have my everlasting sympathy.

I am a Family Doctor and I want to keep a promise made to a patient. 

Julie was a healthy, post-menopausal woman in my care who came in for a periodic health examination. One of my routine questions, in what is called the “Review of Systems”, was to ask if she had experienced any vaginal bleeding. 

She said “No” but then laughed and added, “Other than when my period came back for a few months last year”. 

All health care professional are taught early on that ‘vaginal bleeding in a post-menopausal woman is Cancer of the Uterus until proven otherwise’. This comment by Julie was, therefore, a red flag (no pun intended) prompting further questions, an examination and an ultrasound of her pelvis. 

Julie was surprised to see me so concerned, especially since the symptoms had not recurred over many months. 

Sure enough, a pelvic ultrasound and tissue sampling confirmed Cancer of the Uterus. 

Julie underwent a hysterectomy and radiation therapy. She is now healthy, cancer-free and is expected to stay that way. 

After all this was done, Julie sat ME down for a talk. She told me she’d had no idea a ‘short return’ of her period after menopause was a danger signal. Furthermore, she addressed the topic with friends over coffee and discovered that, out of 20 women, NONE of them knew this symptom was abnormal! She admonished me to “Tell women this! Don’t assume we know it!”

From that day on, I have kept Julie’s advice in mind when talking with post-menopausal patients. But recently my wife suggested that I should take this to a wider audience. 

So, Julie, this is for you:

If you are a post-menopausal woman and your period ‘comes back’ or you have even one episode of vaginal bleeding, TELL A HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL and insist on having it investigated! 

Wishing you all good health and long lives. End image description.]

Let's put a moratorium on men painting, drawing, or photographing naked women for 10 years and the number of men who claim to be artists will drop by like, 80%. The remainder will be gay men and landscape artists.

Women, amirite

the reason it's difficult to argue abortion with anti abortionists is because for the statement "women's right to bodily autonomy is more important than a stranger's life" to make sense to you, you have to already believe that

women are full human beings (even when they're not wives or mothers)

women have zero moral obligation to sacrifice themselves or produce offspring for society

there is no divine purpose to female anatomy and the purpose of a woman's body is entirely determined by her own self.

women have an unconditional right to defend themselves from violence and suffering of any kind

they legit cannot wrap their heads around that
