10 Blatantly Sexist Remarks About Women Made by a Man
Anyone can be sexist — men, women, and people of other genders. Discrimination isn’t limited to one group. It’s horrible, disgusting, annoying, and very unfair. Unfortunately, this is something we have to encounter once in a while, because people suck. There it is, one of the most straightforward pieces of wisdom I can share with others: humans suck. Pardon my lack of scientific terminology.

The Letter She Never Read
When we bought the house, it was more of a ruin than a residence. The real estate agent called it “charmingly historic.” My wife, always the dreamer, called it “full of potential.” I called it a money pit. The wood groaned under our feet, the wallpaper peeled like sunburnt skin, and the fireplace hadn’t seen fire since someone danced the Charleston in the living room.

If My Son Ever Asks ‘Was I an Accident?’ — This Is What I’ll Say
It was just another workday. I was on my lunch break, April had the day off, and we were sitting in the living room watching TV. Nothing dramatic, no background music, no movie moment — just us. Then came the test result, but not from a drugstore kit. We’d gone to the hospital for this one. We wanted it to feel real. Official.

Get to Know Trichomoniasis, the Most Common Non-Viral Sexually Transmitted Infection
It was late one night in the lab when a physician from the emergency room came over. She had taken a couple of samples from a patient and wanted to read her own slides. We call it a wet mount when you read slides right after they’re collected. But this particular physician forgot one crucial step.

I am as chalant as it gets
Oh, act like you don't care! Don't show emotions or else you will be deemed uncool, don't smile too loud, be silent about your victories, don't be so passionate about the things you love, don't text first, don't reach out first, play hard to get- oh, and the list goes on. The new trend of being the mysterious black cat is the propaganda I am not falling for, don't get me wrong, it is not something I am against or hold my grudge against. I truly believe if you are authentically like that, there is nothing wrong with being that way, but for all the ones who actually are yappers and the ones who fill the room with love and light, this trend just invalidates their existence.

I Tried to Save My Marriage, But It Was Destroying Me. Content Warning.
My name is Ayesha. I was just a high school junior — in class eleven — when I was married off in 2023 through a family arrangement. My father's financial situation was far from stable. We were four siblings, and my elder sister and brother were already married. My brother’s wife didn’t like me much, mainly because I was still studying and my education expenses were considered a burden. So, to lessen the financial load, my family married me off at a young age. My husband’s family was financially well-off, and in the beginning, things seemed okay. I was treated with love and care by my husband and in-laws. A year into the marriage, I gave birth to a baby boy. That’s when everything started to change. Suddenly, I wasn’t allowed to go out with my husband. Even something as small as asking for a chocolate would lead to rejection or humiliation. I was forbidden to visit my parents or talk freely with relatives. I wasn't even allowed to speak with my cousins, especially male cousins some of whom were younger than me. If I did, I would be scolded, abused, or even beaten. When my grandmother died, they didn’t want me to go. I had to fight to attend the funeral. The same happened when my maternal grandmother passed away. I was heartbroken, but they cared little. My husband became controlling and abusive physically and emotionally. He demanded complete obedience. If I delayed even slightly when he asked me to sit or stand, he would beat me. Even if the baby had a fever or vomited, I would be blamed, abused, and hurt.
