lil-jei:

lizenkalizenka asked: Re: not hearing disparaging things about Kurt Cobain/Jim Morrison, I know it wasnt your comment, but still - I suspect that there was a lot of anti-"crackhead" crap at the time, but because it was so long ago now, only the positive legacy has remained. I also suspect that in 10 years' time, the only people still talking about Winehouse/Houston will be those who admire(d) them;...

A study in the Lancet last October found that women living in Aids-hit countries using progestogen-only injections, such as Depo-Provera, were twice as likely to become HIV positive as other sexually active...

Sometimes I see men on the feminism tag...
friendlyangryfeminist:
My self respect cannot and should not be defined by men.
Self respect isn’t defined by how many consensual sex acts I engage in, it isn’t defined in what I wear. This isn’t news to anyone who’s moved past feminism 101 and yet I need to repeat it over and over again.

I don’t get why you think that the diagram is bad, or biased towards one side of the argument. It’s just illustrating how the ultrasound is done. I mean, it looks like it’s from a medical textbook. o_O
That’s what I thought too.

THE EFFECTS OF UNDER-EATING →
fightingthinspo:
Many people who want to change their weight under-eat for a while. This is commonly known as “dieting”. Under-eating for a short while in someone who is broadly a healthy weight will do little damage, but for some people under-eating becomes a way of life.
Under-eating can take many forms:
Restraint of eating to keep your weight under control
Severe eating restraint to keep...

Sticking anything up someone’s vagina without their consent & for no medical reason is very invasive." I completely agree, but the shack nature of the photograph is not necessary.

1. Has this word been used against a specific group of people in the past or is it being used against a specific group of people in the present?

Actually, no. It is very invasive. Sticking anything up someone’s vagina without their consent & for no medical reason is very invasive.
Anonymous asked: omg i just saw a really transphobic advert for paddy power bingo, is there anything we can do? i cant find an actual youtube video for it, it just came on before another video, but if i find it i'll send a link.
crystalo0ostar asked: I just wanted to let you know that the trans-vaginal ultrasound is not invasive at all. It's used to detect very early pregnancy, I had one myself. I'm pro-choice, but the series of comments on your post for this makes us pro-choicers look like uneducated fucking idiots.
