Courtney's Too Much Time too Think About TV and Stuff

Women's health or something like it.  I have Polycystic Ovary syndrome, it plays very little role in my life except to occasionally annoy me. Essentially for me, personally, it's harder for me to lose weight and and my periods aren't regular and by that I mean anywhere between 30 days and 3 months was/is normal. It might and I stress might make having children more difficult if I should choose to do that but I haven't even tried so I don't know. The contraceptive pill masks most of the symptoms of PCOS so lots of women don't know they have it. It affects 8-13% of women of reproductive age ( jeanhailes.org.au ). I didn't find out I had it until I was in my late 20's even though I had never had regular periods. In part this was my fault, I never thought to bring up that fact with any medical practitioners I saw. It was just normal for me and I'd Googled it. The internet told me I wasn't that weird. Then I went on the pill and that made my period r...

If you can't see yourself in something, it probably isn't meant for you.  That said it doesn't mean you can't engage with, enjoy, comment on or feel things about that media or situation. I am not saying the all female Ghostbusters can only be watched by the ladies, what I am talking about is the #notallmen phenomenon, the backlash to the all female reboots and why some women's survival of sexual assault is believed more readily.

No matter the circumstance in every story there is someone they can look at who looks, sounds and feels like them who is doing the right thing and saving the day or at least contributing to the story in some meaningful way. Women, People of Colour and non binary people don't have this. They are qui...

Main thoughts, who is this for? Genuinely who did they make this for?  Is it for old people to make fun of the young or the young to make fun of the old? Was this written by a man? Yes it was? Does that show a lot? Why yes it does. In this episode Sutton Foster who has somehow managed to convince a large publishing company that she is some 15 years younger than she actually is, goes to lunch with Hilary Duff and Hilary's friend. I have literally no idea what the characters names in this show are and I'm not going to learn so there's that. At lunch Crazy Friend (CF) for 'Tops Off Tuesday' all of a sudden get her boobs out. The show treats Tops Off Tuesday like it's just a common thing all millennials are doing, probably not out in public like CF but just regularly on Tuesday's. Now maybe this is just an internet phenomenon that passed me by but the whole way through the episode it's like this is definitely a thing. CF's boobs went viral in the space o...
