What do you think of the over-sexation of products aimed towards our nation's girls? - Lauren.
Bratz and BarbieIn this lengthy and very interesting thread, our users discuss their feelings and thoughts on gender-based chivalry.
Chivalry: Opening doors etcIt's so infrequent men are really talked to about rape, particularly in terms of what they can do to prevent it and how direly we need there help, and it's also often challenging for men, especially in male culture, to really, truly and fully take a stand against rape and sexual violence, and to deconstruct and reconstruct masculinity issues or roles which support or enable rape.
This thread is here to talk about all of these issues, ask any questions you might have, and to provide support for men who want to stand against rape and/or for women wondering how they can help. - Heather
Men Against RapeDo you feel like young women -- including yourself -- are really allowed and encouraged to say a big, resounding yes to sex, and not just in certain conditions? Our users discuss this very interesting question.
Do good girls say yes?Imagine you're a 14 year old girl, and the school security guard asks you that question. This happened to Samantha, and the people at Scarleteen discuss her story, and the cultural attitudes toward menstruation.
"The Question"Hundreds of real women bravely tell their own abortion stories so that you can better understand abortion from a real-life, first person perspective.
Me and my boyfriend have had unprotected sex about 3 times times within the last month, but I don't know the exact dates. I didn't know before that pre-cum had sperm in it, so I thought we were safe with the whole pregnancy issue if he just "pulled out," but when I read more about it, I realized I was wrong! The last time we had unprotected sex, he told me that got a little cum inside me, which really worried us both. It's been about two weeks since the last time we had unprotected sex and I have been having stomach aches and headaches and major mood swings and I have been peeing A LOT! I took two over-the-counter pregnancy tests and they both said negative, but I am worried that I may have taken the tests too early because my period is irregular (sometimes every few months) so I never know when it is going to be so I don't know if I have missed it yet or not. I am very worried. Could I be pregnant and how can I make sure? If I am pregnant, I'm gonna get an abortion. I live in Gillette Wyoming. Since I am 13 & my bf is 18 my mom told us we are not "allowed" to have sex, so if she found out she would press charges against him (which I don't want to happen) so I was wondering if there was any close places that I could get an abortion without telling my parents.
Menstrual suppression is becoming increasingly popular, and has been widely promoted for women. For some, especially women with reproductive health issues which are helped by suppressing periods, it's an obvious boon, and some using it electively also report it to be a blessing. But what about the health risks? What about the attitudes informing that choice which cheerlead suppression by maligning menstruation? What about the benefits, emotional and physical, our periods can offer us? An opinionated, no-holds-barred look at the whole works and a paean to the period, no matter what a woman chooses to do with it.
