A thread of our own- misogyny (Part 1)

Nope, doctors are not immune to being sick bastards (not that there was ever a question on that)

The story is more about the minimalization of the accusations by TPTB. The doc was arrested for sexual assault and allowed to go back to work as an OB-GYN afterwards? Should a pediatrician be working after arrest for pedophilia? Come on, world. This is wrong on so many levels.

Only when they are still in the kidneys and oddly I never notice them there. Once in the ureter if they are too big it is a little tube with cutters going in the hard way to break it up or if small enough they send you home with good drugs and tell you do drink fluids till your eyes are floating. So far I have had the latter. Also even when they break it up in the kidney it still hurts like when passing.

So Iā€™ve heard, or rather, read.

Best of luck, hope someoneā€™s willing to hold your hand while this too, um, passes!

ā€œThe simple attire, nerdy glasses and attractive female is about the best look for all of those needs that we could find,ā€ he said. ā€œCute is a must.ā€
Oster said it needed to be ā€œapproachableā€ and ā€œnot too intimidatingā€¦ she needs to look cute and unassuming to the public because she is a weapon, an assassin in litigation, and people will fear her.ā€
ā€œThe danger is that gendering robots may reinforce gender inequalities by hardening current stereotypes.ā€ A U.N. report published last year urges against making digital assistants female by default. ā€œThe more that culture teaches people to equate women with assistants, the more real women will be seen as assistantsā€”and penalized for not being assistant-like," the researchers said in that study.

Apparently rollercoasters also work well. I donā€™t want the disease, but I wouldnā€™t mind if my doctor wrote me that prescription.

Misogyny and racism in one rotten package: a police investigation and some investigative journalism revealed that a young woman had had both of her fallopian tubes removed/damaged without her knowledge. It happened at the specific instructions by the hospitalā€™s head surgeon - who is well-known for being openly racist, and who allegedly (confirmed by multiple sources) told the surgeon performing the procedure to ā€œremove both from that filthy gypsy so she canā€™t make more of her kind.ā€ (Link to article, in Hungarian - sorry I couldnā€™t find any English language articles)

According to investigation the woman was diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy, and it appears that the hospital even had the results of the examinations falsified so that they could operate on her. Investigation into her histopathology/etc. results didnā€™t show signs of an ectopic pregnancy, independent gynecologists and experts all denied that she showed symptoms of it, and all said that even if there was a chance for that, they shouldnā€™t have operated on her right away, without trying to make sure.

To make this even more disgusting: she was never told about her fallopian tubes being removed. This incident happened 3 years ago, and she only learned about what happened to her when she was recently contacted by the police who were investigating reports against the hospital and the head surgeon, about Romani women getting sterilized without their knowledge or consent.

Extra irony: the woman in question is not, in fact, Romani.

That reminds me, I need to plan a new colour or colours in the next couple of months.

I might do each side of me head a different colour, so I need to figure out what will contrast but not clash and will work with my hair.

ā€œOn Wednesday, The View co-hosts debated both Warrenā€™s announcement and the concept in general, with Meghan McCain raising concerns that a Warren cabinet may not represent her beliefs or those of other conservatives.ā€

No shit. How many liberals in the Trump cabinet? Or Bush, Reagan, etc. This is what elections do! If she is going to appoint cabinet secretaries who reflect conservativeā€™s values, why vote for her? Damn.

Yeah, like literally ANY republican cabinet in modern history has reflected views outside of the GOP establishmentā€¦ get bent, McCain.

Thatā€™s just such a self-evidently stupid thing to say, Iā€™m amazed McCain actually said it in public. You think the cabinet of a liberal Democratic president wouldnā€™t represent the beliefs of modern American conservatives? Shock, horror!

But that is how they think. Their view must be represented and respected at all times because it is correct, while other views can be easily dismissed. They honestly feel it is their (literal) God-given right.
