This is not a political statement. If you are a woman and are unable, or choose not, to have children, please have yourself more regularly screened for breast, uterine, and ovarian cancers.
Women who do not have children are at a higher risk for these types of cancers as well as other disorders. Doctors don’t always recommend increased screening for childless women despite the increased risk.
And, in general, women should regularly do self exams of their breasts for lumps or changes in the breast tissue, ideally as a part of your shower/bath routine.
It’s even more pronounced in smaller mammals like rabbits. If you don’t spay your rabbit and don’t let it breed within the first 3 years it will have ~80% chance of developing Uterine cancer and dying 12-18 months later. Usually dying beween 3 and 5 years old. A spayed rabbit, or one that’s breeding will live to 8 if all goes well.
It appears to be breast, ovarian and uterine cancers.
It appears to be exposure to the bodies sex hormones, primarily during reproductive years.
Taking certain types of hormonal birth control seems to have a similar protective effect, while others have an increased risk (At least in the case of ovarian cancers).
I knew there were increased risks for some women from longitudinal exposure to birth control, but I never knew it could have a protective affect in others. Biology is wild man. Our bodies and the things we put into them are constantly in a battle somewhere between saving us, and killing us at all times. It’s both fascinating and also a bit terrifying really, at least to me.
The whole field of psychology has such an inhumane and crackpot history that they’ve brought this upon themselves. I’m don’t defend Scientology, but they don’t stick ice-picks in peoples brains or use the courts to sterilize minorities. I’m not aware of a Scientologist being instrumental in the Satanic Panic or retrieving false memories, through hypnosis, that put innocent people in jail for child abuse.
EST isn’t going away because Scientology attacked it, it’s because psychologists have cried wolf too many times that their barbaric methods have therapeutic value.

Are people practicing psychiatry today responsible for the mistakes of people in the past who had similar goals but entirely different methods? Do you think prescribing medical treatments for mental disorders should automatically mean taking the blame for past mistakes?
Look I get it, they deserve a win after what their entire civilization went through and is still going through a thanks to the government in particular and white people in general. That does not mean, however, that it justifies fucking over already poor people using exorbitantly high interest loans. John Oliver did an episode about these kinds of things once and they are so goddamn predatory it’s disgusting.

I hate Trump, but this framing is disingenuous. In the context of what he was saying, he was trying to make “a point” about South American countries sending criminals to the USA. He was claiming that if he doesn’t win the election, it would be safer to have their next conversation in Venezuela because there would be no crime there as they’d have sent all criminals to USA.
So, you know, just more of his really stupid bullshit, but he wasn’t really saying he would flee to Venezuela. For one, that would require him to believe he had done something wrong or to admit some kind of defeat, two things that I firmly believe he is incapable of doing.
Also every American country (North and South) have international extradition laws, aka they would ship his criminal ass back to prison where he belongs)
