you know i hate tumblrs “i hope they do something problematic” shit so much? its not only with people like thomas sanders or john mulaney or that comic guy with the bike, but with whole ass shows and projects? like nobody ever said b99 is cop propaganda. nobody was saying that until one single person mentioned it and suddenly its the worst show you could watch because of one aspect of their show, while ignoring the shows diversity and political stances.
same happened to dream daddy, like you cant deny that that game was groundbreaking for the lgbt society, but suddlenly some people started shit like ‘uhhh but 5 years ago the game grumps made transphobic jokes’ and ‘you know that joesph is actually a satanist, right?’ and suddenly no one talked about the game anymore?
everytime someone tries their fucking best to be inclusive, diverse etc. people are digging through everything they can find just to justify that they dont like it? overwatch recently hosted a huge event to raise money for breast cancer research in association with the BCRF and without even doing one second of research people accused them of working with the susan g. komen foundation (which wasnt true) and tried to boycott a fucking charity event?
what im saying is, dont let tumblr ruin everything you love because they are bitter
Not just making it illegal, but making being gay punishable with death.
This is one of the many reasons why I walk by every single red bucket in the run-up to Christmas. They’re not getting my money, I don’t care how nice the people ringing bells are.
Ever since the time they threatened to close all their soup kitchens in NYC if a law that did something as simple as allow companies to extend spousal benefits to their employee’s same-sex domestic partners I have refused to buy from them or donate to them.
It’s that time of year again! In case people don’t know… the Salvation Army is shitty peoples.
Also, the married women are not paid (and therefore can’t qualify for assistance if they should ever divorce, etc). And worth “of course” less than a man.
“
In the Army’s case, the agreement for compensation is that the officer allowance be paid jointly to the husband—the check is written in his name. Officially, the wife is a “worker without expectation of remuneration,” and her husband receives 40 percent more of an allowance as a married man than he would as a single man.
(&:) Be sure and wish every bell-ringer in your neighborhood a Merry Kiss My Ass this holiday season~! 😀
Be nice to the bell ringers, they most likely have no idea about this. If you really want to do something to the bell ringers, try talking to them about this and ask them if they know.
And shop at Target because they don’t allow the Salvation Army there.
Reblogging for the last comment especially. The Salvation Army is shitty but it’s been an institution for a very long time, and a lot of regular folk have no idea about these things. They just want to help the poor and think this is a good way to do it.
We can fight an institution without being dicks to people who genuinely mean well.
not to mention that the majority of bell ringers are seasonal temps.
Be kind to the people, but also be cautious of where you put your money
why do men want to be gynecologists? why? why. gynecology is for females and should be practiced solely by women imo
I don’t think a fuckboy is gonna go through years of college education with the mindset of “I’m doing this so I can put metal and cotton swabs in vaginas”…. (more)
lets talk about the arkansas gyno, paul becton jr. who took nude pictures of his female patients
lets talk about dr. john black (gyno) who sprayed a chemical found in drain cleaner into his female patients’ genitalia
or dr. robert hadden, a gyno who performed unwilling oral sex on his patients and staff member
or dr. bruce sylvester smith, the gyno who raped (at least) one patient and sexually harassed many others.
and while we’re at it, lets talk about male gyno, dr. john marshall who tricked, drugged, and raped his patient.
or dr. paul kelly, an indiana ob-gyn who sexually abused his patients and over-prescribed dangerous drugs.
so actually tons of male doctors abuse their patients, and the cases of female doctors abusing their patients is almost non-existent. so thanks for your comment, but next time, try doing a bit of research.
let’s talk about my patient yesterday who complained that every male ultrasound tech that has performed a vaginal ultrasound on her pushed the probe way too far and clearly had no concept of vaginal comfort during penetrative procedures
let’s talk about how not once have i hurt any of my patients during vaginal ultrasounds, and if they have issues with penetration such as vulvodynia or a history of endometriosis, i take a long, slow time to do the ultrasound and check in frequently, and will attempt to do an abdominal ultrasound instead if warranted
let’s talk about how it is most certainly because i am a woman and therefore i understand my female patients and their comfort levels much more than any dude could.
^^^ all of this. Not to mention the one time I had a male doctor do my exam, he took one look at my sexual history and immediately refused to do any more tests or exams because he was “positive” I was just had a bunch of STIs. He didn’t listen once to me telling him that I didn’t think that was right and I wanted to be sure. Three days later I’m getting rolled into emergency surgery because my ovary had ruptured and had become infected. Yeah, gynos should always be female.
Ok i maybe am just talking out of my ass but i feel like a lot of male og/yn get into that career because as a start they realised they couldnt handle the first choice in their medical career and are kind of directed into some “branch” which they DONT think is a big deal- something they think they can handle because hey its only women! I think a contributing reason (other than theyre not women) to why men gynos tend to be cold and shitty is because they spent years looking at shaved vulvas and dehumanised bodies of women when then actually meet the reality only to project their anger of “ how dare u not look like the woman in my porn video” into the patient in the way he is treating her.
That’s probably a lot of it
It’s always like this when it comes to women fearing men. It’s always “um, who would go through all this work just to fulfill their twisted perversions? uwuu”
Men would. Men would and do, daily.
i had a male gyno who knew i hadn’t had my period in over a year and wanted to do a transvaginal ultrasound but then decided against it when he found out i was a lesbian who never had penetrative sex because apparently it meant i wasn’t stretched out and the probe wouldn’t fit. so i never got an answer as to why i didn’t have my period
then i found a woman doctor who literally said that was bullshit and i didn’t need to have had a dick in me to have proper medical care so i got the ultrasound (shockingly there was no problem) and i was diagnosed with a very severe case of pcos and finally got treatment for it. also apparently not having your period frequently increases your odds of cancer by a significant margin so this guy was literally willing to let me get cancer because i’m a lesbian.
cis men should not be ob/gyns.
I’m a trans guy who had menorrhagia for most of my life before my hysterectomy and TWICE among all my transitional health needs (before and during) I was sent to the same male ob/gyn. He was cold and rude and to me seemed pretty angry that a “woman” like me would dare to transition and bother HIM with it.
Eventually I ended up getting a doctor (woman) that would actually listen to me saying I wanted a hysterectomy. She and her team did all the same testing and then the surgery and it turned out I had ovarian cysts all over the place. Male doctor never caught that despite me having these problems my ENTIRE life.
If I'm your savior, then you're mine.
