"When I was in college, a teacher once said that all women live by a ‘rape schedule.’ I was baffled..."
“When I was in college, a teacher once said that all women live by a ‘rape schedule.’ I was baffled by the term, but as she went on to explain, I got really freaked out. Because I realized that I knew exactly what she was talking about. And you do too. Because of their constant fear of rape (conscious or not), women do things throughout the day to protect themselves. Whether it’s carrying our keys in our hands as we walk home, locking our car doors as soon as we get in, or not walking down certain streets, we take precautions. While taking precautions is certainly not a bad idea, the fact that certain things women do are so ingrained into our daily routines is truly disturbing. It’s essentially like living in a prison - all the time. We can’t assume that we’re safe anywhere: not on the streets, not in our homes. And we’re so used to feeling unsafe that we don’t even see that there’s something seriously fucked up about it.”

This was recorded by the Portsmouth Sinfonia in an experiment where all the members of the orchestra would swap instruments with each other and attempt to play them to the best of their ability.
favorite things about this
- literally all the brass starts to get the hang of it and then the crescendos happen and everyone is like FUCK FUCK FUCK??? FUCK. JUST. BLOW RLY HARD.
- the strings are lazy but also the same. like u can tell a lot of the ppl w/ the stringed instruments may already basically know how to play stringed instruments. like there’s definitely a section at the beginning where you hear a good portion going “oh yeah this is like. a smaller/bigger version of what i do.”
- all you hear of any woodwinds is just “pffffttt??? pFFFTTTT???? PFFFFFTTTT I SAID PFFFFTTTT!!!!!” bc woodwinds are fucking HARD and you hear after like the first crescendo half of them just give up. they give up. they’re done. fuck this it tastes weird and my lips hurt.
- that trumpet. that person is fucking TRYING man they fucking GOT this. they may not have figured out notes but they figured out LOUD and they GOT this.
- someone’s about to break a timpani head
this is literally the best thing I’ve ever heard A+
oh no, I’m laughing so hard

Morning After Pill Doesn't Work on Women Over 176 Pounds
Morning After Pill Doesn't Work on Women Over 176 Pounds:
In a move that’s bound to frighten everyone, HRA Pharma, the company the manufactures the European version of Plan B called Norlevo has revised its packaging to indicate that the pregnancy prevention medication is not always effective for women over 165 pounds and doesn’t work at all for women who weigh more than 176 pounds.And there are seriously people on here who say thin privilege isn’t a thing?
This has nothing to do with thin privilege and everything to do with science. They didn’t make the pill do this on purpose. It’s not about fat shaming. It’s not because being over 176 lbs is “unhealthy”. It’s because the more adipose tissue a person has, the less effective BC will be because fat interferes with how the hormones are absorbed, distributed and carried in the body. This is also the case for regular BC. Please research more about this before freaking out. The only criticism that is valid is that they should be releasing more of this information as soon as it becomes available and putting warnings on the american packaging as well.
*More info: Not only does fat and adipose tissue affect BC, but “the metabolism and volume of medication in the bloodstream” as well. It is unknown if higher dosages will enable the drug to work. -Diana Blithe, BC researcher
This seems like a good place to leave this:
Ella works for anyone with a BMI UP TO a 35, and can be ordered with a prescription from a nurse or doctor, or an online consultation with a doctor on their website, provided above.
You do have to be over 18, and DO need a credit card to order online, if the doctor/LPN visit isn’t right for you.
This is an example of how we need to do longitudinal testing for fat people with medication. This is a prevalent thing.
People are STILL super confused about what thin privilege is if you think this isn’t an example of it. Just because it’s “science” doesn’t make it any less an example, particularly when they are only coming out with this information now clearly showing that they didn’t do considerable testing on people with higher body weights to see how it worked with them in the first place.
Having a product made without your body type even considered is thin privilege. Stop trying to claim “science” changes that fact. Just because fat bodies need more of a specific drug for it to work properly doesn’t excuse them from not even considering fat people may have to take more or have a different amount prescribed to them. They are able to do this shit with dogs at the vet, yet cannot even acknowledge that PEOPLE come in different sizes and may need a different dosage.
Privilege isn’t something that is always done consciously but when thin people are treated as the “norm” when creating drugs and fat people are not even considered worthy of having a correct dosage that is thin privilege.
Omg stop! You sounds so ignorant! Are natural cave formations that are to narrow for fat people to get through also thin privilege? Nature must really have it out for you.
Yes, because natural cave formations were totally created by a giant corporation. If you are going to create an argument at least use one that has some ounce of logic. A drug created by a drug company is a man made product, I know this is probably hard to understand.
People who compare their prejudices to natural phenomena to assert their obviousness are infuriating. Quite tellingly, I actually made almost this exact same comparison, except mockingly, back in April:
But sure, medical equipment that accommodates fat patients costs money. Which might be a meaningful point if medical equipment that excludes fat patients were natural rock formations that we simply built hospitals around. But since they cost money, too… well, not really a salient point.
Things “are the way they are” because people choose to make them that way. No one is disputing that there is a reason fat people can’t receive the same dose of some medications as thin people. We’re disputing the assertion that this should be cause to withhold medication from fat patients.
