I also did not get that, to the point I decided I would stop trying. Would love to get a definitive answer as well.
ETA: Everyone has clarified what my fuzzy brain sort-of understood but couldn’t quite put a finger on.
Yeah, protecting TERs effectively is a record scratch stop at that point.
Salon calling out the WaPo on this:
These stories just make me furious. Medicos should be more sensitive than the general populace to women’s needs, not less.
We’ve come so far! Nowadays, they bother to pretend to have women on the panels. Why, back in my day…(something, something, banging my head on the table).
“Increased rates of suicide and homicide, and a lack of access to health care services like safe abortion, have the combined effect of reversing the health and safety gains women of previous generations experienced, especially women of color," said Elliott.
Worldwide issue, needs worldwide solutions.
SSDD:
Well, she did urge her fans (mostly young women) to register and vote. That is clearly a Democratic message, you know.
Taylor Swift also has a feud with Trump supporter and former presidential candidate Kanye “Ye” West. If that doesn’t count as a musician inappropriately entering the political field, what does?
Also dating Travis Kelce, a known vaccine promoter!
The child psychiatrist Svenny Kopp noticed early on in her research that the interests of autistic girls differed from those of boys. “No girl was interested in explosives or airplanes,” she said. “But they had other interests. Often, there was a social connection. It could be animals or famous people. A great many of them painted and made things. There was a lot of arts and crafts.”
Which was one reason girls weren’t diagnosed with autism as often as boys—they were thought to lack special interests. Rather, for a long time, psychologists didn’t consider girls’ special interests to be “real,” which contributed to their inability to diagnose their autism. “If a girl collected My Little Ponies and had 75 of them, this wasn’t seen as a special interest,” said Dr. Kopp. “The male doctors didn’t ask about My Little Pony. They were looking for special interests they could identify with.”
Dr. Kopp believes girls have not been valued as highly as boys. “It’s been a taboo to recognize that [boys and girls] are different, that we have different interests and don’t quite function the same way,” she explains.
