“Girls had changed. They had liberated themselves from their corsets only to throw themselves at the tyranny of the "diet plan." They were all coltish legs, bound chests and smooth scalps.

They traffic in bogus wage disparity statistics, whitewashing the fact that what's actually left of that dwindling pay gap is due to the deliberate, voluntary choices women in the workforce make.”

by man. Jesus himself was rejected by the very people he came to save. But he gave of himself anyway.”

The twisted incentive structures of social media reward the most extreme presentations of symptoms.”

“Girls like me, no one saves us in time”
“Girls like me were a waste of time for doctors. With no money and no connections - otherwise we wouldn't accidentally end up on their doorstep - we were a constant reminder of the law that could send them to prison and close down their practice for good. They would never tell us the truth, that they weren't prepared to sacrifice their career for some young doe-eyed damsel foolish enough to get knocked up. Or maybe their sense of duty was such that they would have chosen to die rather than break a law that could cost women their lives. They must have assumed that most women would go through with the abortion anyway, in spite of the ban. All in all, plunging a knitting needle into a womb weighed little next to ruining one's career.”
