i wish some people would realise that *destroying the nuclear family* means the liberation of woman as a class, the destruction of heterosexuality as the material base for the categories of gender, communal parenting, decentering romantic relationships as the only space for happiness, freedom, and spontaneity, etc… and not like……. being part of a fucking polycule and pressuring people who want to be monogamous into having sex they’re not comfortable with

Choose female professors.

REQUEST A FEMALE.

No

Actually. Most female doctors (no matter what kind of doctor) are more intimidating than men. Women are more judgmental, and that’s a fact. Especially if you’re a female being inspected by a female. I know it would be strange to have a man do it, but trust me, they have more sympathy. Most female doctors I’ve had were a lot worse than the male ones. If you’re saying request a female because they’re smarter, or nicer, that’s wrong. Male doctors are equally as smart and dare I say, nicer.

This is hilariously not true. Also your less likely to die if you see a woman doctor and you’re 100% not going to have your pelvic exam secretly filmed for the enjoyment of perverts.

lmao I’m sorry that you live under that mentality but seriously no one cares if you have a vagina. people are just doing their jobs. if you seriously think that just because you’re female you have the undivided attention of perverted men you really need to realize that some men have jobs because they need money to pay for themselves and their families too. I promise you, no man will get a job like that just to see tits and pussy. oh, and by the way, its proven that women are much more sex-driven than men. if you end up with the wrong lady, she could get off to it. and some women would gladly sell tapes like that to other people because its pretty easy money. men and women are both capable of bad.

Find me even one news story of a female gyno filming her patients for perverted sex stuff. I’ll wait. 😘

They never got back to me 🤔

^ lmao

 they probably googled it to shove the evidence in your face and got educated by accident when they discovered the literal hundreds of sex offenses by male gynos

Female doctors all the way. Like male doctors are assholes for the most part. My female doctor doesnt mention my weight all the damn time we discussed it like once.

They really made huge sweeping generalizations about women and then said, “no one cares if you have a vagina” 🙃

Not to critique evolution, but I would think orange and black stripes wouldn’t be as good for camouflage in a forest as, say, green and black would.

It turns out a lot of animals can’t see the difference between orange and green!  Elephants, for instance, have dichromatic vision (two types of cones, rather than three like most humans.) 

Check out this diagram from ResearchGate.  It deals with the color vision of horses, who are also generally dichromatic.  (I think, though I’m not sure, that zebras would have the same color vision as horses.)  See how orange and green look to them?

Not to critique evolution but I think prey animals should be better at telling when their predator is dressed like a traffic cone.

It doesn’t matter what zebras see, because tigers are not native to Africa and do not naturally hunt zebra.  Tigers are Asian and mostly hunt animals like deer, elk, and buffalo.  These aren’t animals with great color vision.  They don’t need to have it because they don’t eat fruit and so don’t need to know when the berry is ripe vs when it’s not.  Good color vision is too expensive to have if you don’t need it.  Deer put their vision stats in a wide field of vision that is sensitive to motion, low light capabilities, and possibly seeing UV light.  They don’t have great color and lack a lot of acuity, but have a great sense of smell and good hearing.  That’s way more useful if you’re prey.  Deer see well in the blue end of the color spectrum and less well in the red.  This makes sense because deer are most active in the dawn and dusk periods, when there is more blue in the light.  Tigers are taking advantage of deer eyesight by being orange.

We see tigers are being obviously colored because tigers are fruit colored to our tree ape brains.

I don’t know what the best part of this is: implying that deer chose their attributes on a character sheet, or the fact that we get to see tiger colors because they look like a snack.

Ok but like, I think you underestimate just how well they blend in when actually in the environment. Like, just using tigers as an example.

or how about a leopard?

It’s called ‘disruptive colouration’ because the markings help to break up the animal’s outline against the grasses or rocks. And the rosettes on leopards and jaguars? Sun spots shining through the trees and leaves on the ground.

And this is how hard it is to spot them WITH colour vision. Now imagine the above images but with the limited coloured mentioned above?

You don’t even have to be a lady, there are several

• My last name is culturally important to me
• His last name is something like Cox or Boner and it’s just not worth it
• I got a doctorate before I met him and don’t want to change it
• I don’t want to change my name on all my documents and have people assume I’m stealing my own identity in the early months of our marriage
• I would rather keep my own last name out of personal preference
• I would rather keep my own last name to make a political statement
• I want my husband to take MY name

It’s 2018 and people ARENT PROPERTY

Wow, I just had the misfortune of reading the Canadian’s Cancer Society’s page on cervical cancer, wherein they refer to females as “non-trans women”

Nothing says “progressive” like referring to women as “non-males” so that males don’t get their feelings hurt when you use the word “female” to refer to people other than them

JUST

SAY

FEMALE

It is hard to think of a context where it wouldn’t make MORE sense to use the word “female” than when discussing cervical goddamn cancer, and it is utterly disgusting that male people are being framed as the default patient when it comes to female reproductive health conditions

The website says that post-op transwomen sometimes end up with a “neo-cervix” but when I google “neo-cervix” all I can find is stuff about reconstructive surgery on women with intersex disorders, and apparently there’s a specific kind of SRS (rarely performed in the US) that can create something that’s kind of “like” a cervix but its function is more for sexual pleasure and lubrication.

According to transgendermap.com, the cervix is one of the components of the female reproductive system that is NOT imitated by SRS

Like if you’re a biological male and you get cancer in an artificially created structure that kind of sort of looks like a cervix, that’s not cervical cancer. That’s now how any of this works and its no reason to use female-erasing language to describe a serious condition that EXCLUSIVELY affects females
