Before u get married...

discuss bills, parenting styles, credit, debt, religion, how to deal with family, what beliefs will be instilled in your children, childhood traumas, sexual expectations, partner expectations, financial expectations, family health history, mental health history, bucket list, dream home, careers and education, political views and whatever else comes to mind. Love alone is not enough

Rape Prevention Tips

If someone is drunk or asleep, DON'T RAPE them.

When you see someone walking by themselves. LEAVE THEM ALONE.

Use a BUDDY SYSTEM! If it is difficult for you to stop yourself from raping someone, ask a trusted friend to accompany you at all times.

Carry a RAPE WHISTLE. If you find that you are about to rape someone, blow that whistle until someone comes to stop you.

HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. When asking someone out, don't pretend that you are interested in them as a person. Tell them straight up that you expect to be raping the later, If you don't communicate your intentions, they make take it as a sign that you do not plan to rape them.

Three months ago I was pretty agnostic about baseball (have gone to a couple MLB games live, fun atmosphere, but wouldn’t watch on TV) and tonight I had a watch party. Loss aside, the Jays made some new fans of both the team and the sport

The Jays and Dodgers will break for Christmas Eve to share a drink in no man’s land, show each other photos of the family they left back home, before heading back to their respective trenches.

Understanding endometriosis underfunding and its detrimental impact on awareness and research

Endometriosis affects approximately 190 million women globally. Many individuals with endometriosis face complex journeys through the healthcare system, set against a backdrop of historically underfunded research into women's health. This study investigates the funding allocated to endometriosis up to 2023 by analysing the top 100 granting foundations in Denmark and comparing it to diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease, with similar prevalence and impact. We found that endometriosis remains significantly underfunded.

Endometriosis research has been chronically underfunded even though it affects a large population of women and can be detrimental to those with it.

So let's spend the little funding it gets to study how hard it is on the men.

Kids are part of society. I like to take them to the store, work events, fundraisers, concerts, demonstrations, workouts… if you invite me to something outside school/daycare hours and you know I’m a parent you should not assume my kids disappear for your convenience.

Malcolm, I agree with you 100 percent. Very valid criticisms. It’s a transactional worldview that I detest and certainly doesn’t recognize historical inequalities let alone approach the situation with compassion. But still it wasn’t as offensive as I expected and I found myself agreeing on pts
