The Tale of Pretty Privilege and How It Influences Women
How familiar are we with the concept of Pretty Privilege? It's common to think that individuals considered conventionally attractive—whether male or female—have an easier life than those who don't meet societal beauty standards. This perception is supported by evidence that beautiful people often receive better grades, have favorable job interview outcomes, enjoy increased opportunities, and grow up with greater self-esteem and confidence, as they frequently receive compliments about their looks.

Invisible Illness, Visible Impact.. Content Warning.
Have you ever heard of a condition that affects 1 in 10 women worldwide? That’s about 176 million women, give or take a few million. Not a big deal, right?

Oh, and it’s one of the top three causes of female infertility. So yeah, it only can affect your body, mind, relationships, career, and overall quality of life. Nothing major.

Terror In The ER Waiting Room Reminds Me Why I Am Pro-Choice. Content Warning.
It Took Me Two Weeks. The pressure in my pelvis was dismissed as a symptom of my PCOS for two weeks before I gave in and decided to go to a doctor. I had a rough menstrual cycle at the beginning of September, so I figured I had an active cyst. No big deal, since I am very familiar with the process of 'riding it out.'

Self-Love Can Be A Finicky Business
I was made fun of a lot as a kid because of my physical appearance. My last post was a lamentation detailing my futile efforts to figure out self-love. I picked the concept apart, but that brought confusion.
