INTERESTING THINGS
Reading this account of how chronic pain in women is ignored was infuriating. I remember being told my pain was all in my head as a kid and knowing even then how wrong the doctors were.
On the subject of pain, what the heck, placebo effect in the US? And oh how I wish I would respond to placebos!
Interesting article (though, oh, the typos!) on witness protection
The explicit promise the Government made was for the family’s physical safety. And it was offered in exchange for testimony that the Government ultimately never used. The witness program’s implied promise is rehabilitation.
It’s amazing what a difference the program made for this family. It saved their lives and gave them a way to build new ones.
This man understands what’s really up with MRAs, aka The League of Extraordinary Butthurt:
I am a man who respects women and has benefited from feminism, and I call out MRA bullshit. MRA gives men a bad name and holds inclusive feminism back.This is an important role for male allies to play, because men who are on the MRA fence are less likely to listen to a woman’s views on the subject—but they may listen to a man. Male allies can pull them back from the brink.
Plus, it’s safer for us men. Yes, I was inundated with hate for a few days after my TIME article, but there weren’t any rape threats or getting put on some “offender registry” to be a target of harassment. MRAs are far more vitriolic and violent toward women who call out their crap than they are to men.
