s o m e d a y
the person I’m talking to will say, “WHOA, really?? that’s cgi??” and everything i’ve ever done will have been validated

Over the last decade, as companies chased after an effective chemical, there was fretting within the drug industry: what if, in trials, a medicine proved too effective? More than one adviser to the industry told me that companies worried about the prospect that their study results would be too strong, that the F.D.A. would reject an application out of concern that a chemical would lead to female excesses, crazed binges of infidelity, societal splintering.
“You want your effects to be good but not too good,” Andrew Goldstein, who is conducting the study in Washington, told me. “There was a lot of discussion about it by the experts in the room,” he said, recalling his involvement with the development of Flibanserin, “the need to show that you’re not turning women into nymphomaniacs.” He was still a bit stunned by the entrenched mores that lay within what he’d heard. “There’s a bias against — a fear of creating the sexually aggressive woman.”

Gee, you ever think that might be part of the problem? That there’s a societally acceptable level of lady-boning?

i am so fucking angry at this
(via piddlebucket)
let me tell you how fucking angry this makes me as a woman who has been struggling with therapy for issues regarding my ability to enjoy sex. there could be something out there that would work for me, but maybe I can’t get it because some repressed, asshole fucking dudes decided that women enjoying and taking control of their libido’s and sexual needs would hurt society???
FUCK. YOU.

Damon Lindelof promises to be “more mindful in the future” after complaints from fans.GOOD.
All writers of television shows and movies should take basic feminism classes by law.
Yeah, but this is not an acceptable apology. Lindelof, you are a grown-ass man. You can’t tell me you had ZERO IDEA that this was objectifying or problematic.
Also, as Melissa McEwan says, his entire construction of his apology is gross and problematic. One tweet later! Oh, but Kirk was also shirtless. Also, misspelling misogynistic! “Do not want to make light of something some construe as misogynistic.” No one is CONSTRUING it as misogynistic, it IS misogynistic. This isn’t a matter of opinion, Lindelof.
