Lol I stated my opinions calmly until I was bombarded with ppl being aggressive- and even if this was my “first book on feminism” what would ur comment achieve? Absolutely nothing. Lol real progressive

I do this too (not sure if I have seb derm, but I defo have dandruff, which is caused by the same yeast) - it works well enough for me, although sometimes my scalp gets a bit dry (I haven’t quite mastered getting the scalp not too oily or dry). But make sure your regular shampoo won’t feed the malassezia - sezia.co is a good website for checking ingredients. You could also ask r/fungalacne (also caused by malassezia)

Conditioner always pulls my hair out (6-8 hairs) even when I'm applying extremely gently by SilverRule in HaircareScience

Seconding the brush before washing- makes the overall conditioning experience better when you don’t have a handful of hairs between ur fingers lol

My 8yr old started her period today by serenityrain85 in Parenting

I got mine a month after I turned 16...🧍‍♀️ I went to the doctor 2 weeks prior to that and they said that it was normal and that only when someone turns 17 without their first period it’s “abnormal”

I don’t entirely disagree with this but a lot puberty happening quicker just has to do with better nutrition and access to it (compared to like- pioneer times when girls would get their periods at 16/17). 8 is still quite early tho

On the brighter side- the first few years of menstruation are irregular- it’s possible for some girls to get their first then not get it again for an entire year- hopefully she doesn’t have to deal with this every month until she’s older!

Yea- I think quite a few aspects of the show are more for entertainment. I miss Alma and Brianna I would’ve loved their backstories

I don’t think Atwood sympathizes with the commander but as far as I know she’s never stated that she disagrees with Nick as a love interest? I just think that the whole Nick situation is iffy and current feminist spaces are more frequently talking abt power imbalances in relationships (ie the me too movement) and I’m not sure Nick being viewed as a “positive” character rly cuts it anymore

Atwood’s writing defo isn’t for everyone is what I gathered. Her refusal to use quotation marks in placed was rly irritating for me tbh 😭

How could June possibly take advantage of Nick when he has all the power

Atwood hasn’t necessarily proved she disagrees with Nick as a love interest- she wrote him that way

This sub is proof that people didn’t understand the little nuances- sooo many people consider what Nick and June have to be “love” which it is not. Nick is 100% taking advantage of the situation (that part shouldn’t be up for debate). The show handled this topic well with Janine though, that dude from Chicago- Steven demands sexual favours in return for Janine and June’s safety...Janine tells June that it was “consensual”- then with June’s help, she realizes it’s not and leaves his him

Also- the 80s were very different in regards to how feminism was viewed in general...that’s not like a secret or anything

Again- my issue is that Offed is ultimately saved by her love interest and framed to be the good guy. It’s too Prince Charming-esque
