10 Blatantly Sexist Remarks About Women Made by a Man
Anyone can be sexist — men, women, and people of other genders. Discrimination isn’t limited to one group. It’s horrible, disgusting, annoying, and very unfair. Unfortunately, this is something we have to encounter once in a while, because people suck. There it is, one of the most straightforward pieces of wisdom I can share with others: humans suck. Pardon my lack of scientific terminology.

Get to Know Trichomoniasis, the Most Common Non-Viral Sexually Transmitted Infection
It was late one night in the lab when a physician from the emergency room came over. She had taken a couple of samples from a patient and wanted to read her own slides. We call it a wet mount when you read slides right after they’re collected. But this particular physician forgot one crucial step.

The 3AM Thoughts That Changed Everything
It was one of those nights when sleep refused to visit. The kind where you lie still in the dark, watching the numbers change on the clock like a slow countdown to morning. 3:02 AM. The house was quiet, but my mind was anything but.

I am as chalant as it gets
Oh, act like you don't care! Don't show emotions or else you will be deemed uncool, don't smile too loud, be silent about your victories, don't be so passionate about the things you love, don't text first, don't reach out first, play hard to get- oh, and the list goes on. The new trend of being the mysterious black cat is the propaganda I am not falling for, don't get me wrong, it is not something I am against or hold my grudge against. I truly believe if you are authentically like that, there is nothing wrong with being that way, but for all the ones who actually are yappers and the ones who fill the room with love and light, this trend just invalidates their existence.

I Tried to Save My Marriage, But It Was Destroying Me. Content Warning.
My name is Ayesha. I was just a high school junior — in class eleven — when I was married off in 2023 through a family arrangement. My father's financial situation was far from stable. We were four siblings, and my elder sister and brother were already married. My brother’s wife didn’t like me much, mainly because I was still studying and my education expenses were considered a burden. So, to lessen the financial load, my family married me off at a young age. My husband’s family was financially well-off, and in the beginning, things seemed okay. I was treated with love and care by my husband and in-laws. A year into the marriage, I gave birth to a baby boy. That’s when everything started to change. Suddenly, I wasn’t allowed to go out with my husband. Even something as small as asking for a chocolate would lead to rejection or humiliation. I was forbidden to visit my parents or talk freely with relatives. I wasn't even allowed to speak with my cousins, especially male cousins some of whom were younger than me. If I did, I would be scolded, abused, or even beaten. When my grandmother died, they didn’t want me to go. I had to fight to attend the funeral. The same happened when my maternal grandmother passed away. I was heartbroken, but they cared little. My husband became controlling and abusive physically and emotionally. He demanded complete obedience. If I delayed even slightly when he asked me to sit or stand, he would beat me. Even if the baby had a fever or vomited, I would be blamed, abused, and hurt.

Setting Healthy Boundaries During Your Ho Phase
Three months into her ho phase, Jessica found herself crying in her car after a date that had gone completely sideways. The guy she'd been seeing casually for a few weeks had shown up at her workplace unannounced, demanding to know why she hadn't responded to his texts from the night before. "I thought I was being clear about what this was," she told me later. "But I realized I had never actually communicated my boundaries – I just hoped he'd understand them."
