Dear Kiri,
Even though I’m not a Breeder your blog about contemplating life while pregnant spoke to me on a lot of levels.
I thought about my friend Wendy who was murdered, and how horrible it was for her mother to lose her daughter so suddenly and brutally.
I thought about my mother, who could have just as [...]
Yet another example of the misogyny in the world in which we all live. A man can abuse women and still maintain a career in the public sphere. Disgusting.

Dear Dr. Hyman,
Once again you have written an absolutely brilliant expose on something most people take for granted as a necessity in their dietary lives, such as wheat and wheat-based products. It’s a testament to our grab-and-go world that values convenience instead of healthiness that this hidden Celiac Disease epidemic has gotten to this point. [...]
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Bizilj,
I hope somebody sues *you* for negligence and that Child Protective Services takes any other children you may have away from you. It also would help if you and everyone in your extended family would get sterilised, that way we don’t have to worry about any more of your children attending/dying [...]
As a sidenote to the actual point of your blog, what I find disturbing about this story is the fact that after he shot all those people, the first thing the media started doing was talking about his “ideological” and “religious” motivations, presumably because he is Muslim. The next day a white man opened fire [...]
Dear Chris Brown,
You forfeited your right to privacy when you became a pop star. You also relinquished that right when you publicly beat the crap out of your also famous pop star girlfriend.
Maybe instead of wishing that Rihanna would keep her mouth shut about your abusive behaviour you should wish yourself off this planet.
Sincerely,
Sezin

Thank you, Dr. Hyman, for this brilliant post.
A month ago I was stricken by the worst abdominal pain I’d ever experienced in my life. At the time, my husband and I thought it was prolonged menstrual cramps, but when the pain persisted long after my period ended, we knew it was something else. I was [...]
In spite of its horrifying nature, I must thank you for this post, Ms. Sax. It is a testament to the woman-unfriendly world we live in that these disgusting crimes against humanity take place right under the authorities’ noses. It appears that women’s health and safety quite simply is not a general concern for men, [...]
Great list, David!
So, here I am again with some of my ladies:
*UP, UP, UP – Ani Difranco

Thank you, Ms. Anders, for speaking out against Polanski’s crimes when so many staple figures in Hollywood are doing just the opposite. For such a straightforward case, my mind is boggled by all of the Polanski supporters who cling to any little nuance in order to make a case in his support.
The facts remain that [...]
This is a great playlist, Mr. Wild!
However, aside from Freda Payne and Patti Smith, it’s a bit lacking in the female talent. Here’s a few to balance out the gender scales a bit:
*’TIS OF THEE – Ani DiFranco
*PEACE SONG – Indigo Girls
*DEAR MR. PRESIDENT – Pink (Yes, it’s a letter to our last president, but [...]
Another lovely and relevant post, thank you Ed & Deb!
Normal stress is compounded for me by also dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder and I have to be very aware of which kind of stress may be affecting me at any given point. I find that drinking too much alcohol or eating things I’m sensitive to [...]
This photo makes me love Brad and Angelina even more! I mean, how many other stars would smile so graciously and lovingly, allowing a fan to photograph them in public? Very, very few.
I have so much admiration for these two and the work they do in support of human rights worldwide, and even more so [...]
Mr. Farr,
There are very many millions of people in this world who have had horrible lives and worse experiences than Mr. Polanski’s, and that has not necessarily led them into a life of pedophilia and jail-dodging. Other comments here have noted Charles Manson, who has an inextricable link with Mr. Polanski. Using your train of [...]
Confronting Cholera: My Zimbabwe Diary
Dear Emile,
This is a beautifully written piece about your experience in Zimbabwe. I love that you’ve gotten involved with Oxfam, an organisation in which Chris McCandless believed so much; he would have been so happy that he inspired you to get involved. But I also appreciate your candor describing not only the Zimbabwe that you [...]
