Quickies: Chlamydia outbreak, newts, and slut-shaming Black Widow
- Nice guy just trying to chat slashes woman when she laughs at him – Think of this before telling a woman to laugh off gross and creepy behavior. From Mary.
- Chlamydia outbreak hits nearly 10 percent of small Texas school in district with no sex-ed policy – “Dallas County Health and Human Services records show that sexually transmitted diseases have spiked in recent years. Syphilis diagnoses increased 31 percent between 2012 and 2013. And according to the CDC, the South had 8 of the 11 states with the highest rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis.”
- Hormones drive California newts to travel and transform – NSFW if newt sex isn’t cool at your work. From CriticalDragon1177.
- I was spectacularly wrong about Jeremy Renner slut-shaming Black Widow – “…can we just stop debating whether anyone is a “slut”? It’s clearly a word that exists to defy hard definitions. That’s the beauty, for sexists, of the word “slut.” Believers in the concept of “slut” want it to be an all-purpose word for shaming and controlling women. They want the term to be vague and malleable, so that any woman, at any time, can be called “slut” and she has no grounds to defend herself.”From Arturo.

Is chlamydia the geodes of viruses or is that “photo” just an artist representation?
It’s oddly pretty.
Oops, bacteria not viruses. Should have looked that up before posting. #^_^#
Amanda,
“Nice guy just trying to chat slashes woman when she laughs at him”
That doesn’t sound like a very “nice guy.” I hope he has time to contemplate what he did, and why it was wrong, behind bars.
Some people can seriously consider themselves ‘nice’ and then, five seconds later, they’ll cut you for laughing at them. Cognitive dissonance being what it is.
I’ve been meaning to write an article about Baltimore, personally.
Why did those girls think to have sex if they didn’t learn about it in sex ed class?
Comic books and Avengers movies, of course. And newts.</snark>
