Male And Female Brains Arent Wired Differently

Male and female brains aren’t wired differently

New research, published in October in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, concluded that despite size discrepancy, there’s no functional difference between men’s and women’s brains. “Male” brains and “female” brains simply don’t exist. In fact, there’s significant overlap.

Happy Straight Pride everyone!

Dear (the all white male governments of) Oklahoma and Texas,

How do I say this kindly without making you look like an idiot. See you have both been all about "saving lives" by reducing abortion rates and forcing women to carry their pregnancies to term. I won't even get into that is not saving lives but will instead point you towards the state of Colorado.

A landmark report from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment two years ago credited IUDs, which are T-shaped pieces of plastic inserted into the uterus, for a major decrease in unwanted pregnancies among teenagers. 

The birth rate for girls ages 15 to 19 in Colorado dropped by more than half in an eight-year period, falling 59% from 2009 to 2017. The abortion rate among Colorado teens fell by 60% during those eight years.

Colorado spent $28 million in grant funds during those years to supply IUDs to 75 public health clinics in Colorado, including several inside high schools. Women and teens received 43,714 free IUDs from 2009 to 2016, thanks to a grant from billionaire Warren Buffett’s family. 

The grant ended, but the state has maintained the program through state and federal funds, as well as the expansion of Medicaid through the Affordable Care Act. There are 29 contractors who work in 78 clinics throughout Colorado providing free and low-cost IUDs, said Jody Camp, manager of the family planning unit at the state health department. 

Try primary prevention first and actually giving women access to long-term contraceptive Healthcare for free, and you might find that many of them don't want a pregnancy in the first place, and thus increased contraception has lowered their abortion rates.

I will always argue that the contraceptive prevention of conceiving a child between two parents who do not want a child, is considerably more ethical than forcing a mother to carry to term and then placing the unwanted child in our messed up, shitty foster system.

Primary prevention. Google it, Oklahoma.

My ultimate pet peeve is women sexualising themselves being defended as “she’s embracing her sexuality”.  It could not be more removed from her sexuality.  Her sexuality is what she finds attractive.  Making yourself more attractive to men is embracing MEN’S sexuality.

if any post of mine gets big i hope its this one because i want people to realise how impactful the way amber heard was treated publicly. the day after the trial ended i had MY trial against the man who sexually assaulted me and my mental health was brought up to prove im crazy. they illegally obtained notes from my psych where he wrote i might have bpd. my ptsd was used against me, my creditably was shattered by my reactions despite things being admitted that matched my story. the way yall treated that woman was used against me too, and it will be used against thousands of women in court and people will believe we're crazy whores who just want to ruin men. and yall did this. never forget that

this is really interesting!
