  • This is all true. It’s also in addition to the horrific misogyny of the medical establishment. Not only is autism underdiagnosed in women, almost all conditions are understand in women. Including acute heart attacks.

    This is partly for sort of valid reasons (they routinely exclude women from clinical trials because of unknown pregnancies putting the baby at risk), partly for stupid but understandable reasons (women are harder to study because of cycle effects, managing trials need to run longer and collect more data, which costs more) and partly because of rank misogyny.

    If I were a woman, I’d be terrified of dealing with health care professionals of any kind.









  • Italian coffee snob here. Even Starbucks coffee isn’t bad. They have a lot of stuff on the menu that frankly leaves me with more questions than answers, but you don’t have to order that. The filter coffee is way, way better than the average.

    While I would recommend both learning about other countries as a general principle, and sending me a GIF of a cat, I’m finding it hard to come down on American coffee while living on a continent than thinks French coffee or German coffee is perfectly fine.





  • I understand. Honestly, that piece for me was sort of a watershed moment. There are two main threads that run through every form of leftism all across the world: opposition to the far right and worker solidarity. If you can’t bring up the decency to do that, what am I even doing on your site?

    I respect that you have a different relationship to the site and are willing to adopt a more nuanced stance. I am definitely not there. There might come a day where I’m able to see the words “Jacobin magazine” without adding “the totenkopf apologia site” in my head, but that is not today.

    So, like any good online leftist, I’m posting though it and making it y’all’s problem ;)
