I watched the UK show Naked Attraction recently and was amazed at all the different shapes and sizes that vulvas and labias come in. Truly amazed and feeling very sheepish as a 50+ yo woman who has studiously avoided looking at naked women in changing rooms my whole life. Thanks for researching and publishing a book about it as we normalise our very normal anatomy!
The fake phone call, the keys grasped in hand while walking, the text message to say you got in the front door safely .... the unwritten rules I need to teach my daughter are endless and exhausting. Imagine a world where we could live without fear and constantly being on alert.
Whooping cough is running rampant in the Inner West - half our primary school is off sick with it!
Hard no from me!
Nope, if you were offended by it, you should have spoken to the woman involved. No one else's business and hopefully you sit with your uncomfortable feelings and stop the judgement next time.
Awesome prize, but would be better if you could call them by their preferred name, Türkiye. Small details have a huge impact to affected people.
"profoundly mundane" - that lawyer should be ashamed of diminishing and trivialising a viscous assault. Imagine if that happened to his wife/mother/girlfriend/sister? The lawyer is a disgusting part of the problem. I hope the sentence reflects how horrific the assault was.
Good on you for deciding he wasn't worth your attention and focus. Love your integrity!
It's so amazing to have science backing medication to help people that struggle with their weight. Just brilliant!
Please do a story with pictures - I want to see what people had done and get some inspo from some old jewellery I'd like to re-do!
I left my 11 year old happily watching the new episodes while I got ready for work this week. She came rushing into my bedroom in floods of tears sobbing uncontrollably that the Heelers were selling their house. She's adored the show for years and was devastated that they were leaving the house. Personally I'm glad they didn't actually move!
Sounds like something I'd try in my never ending quest to get more lashes!
Just this week the family of Celeste Manno, who was stalked and murdered in Melbourne in 2020, had to endure the legal system and watch as her killer was sentenced {not a life sentence sadly}.
What a shame you had a less than ideal experience. So many other women I know have made great friends from mums group, and mine was also excellent. 10 years on and we still have catch ups, not as frequently as the old days, but it's always great to see them and get the kids back together!
Trust your gut! There's a reason it's pinging an alarm for you, so listen to it. You can continue to come up with excuses for a few years yet and maybe then you will feel more comfortable. Or not.
