Sometimes... things that are shocking are, in fact, true.

The facts around this claim about the anatomy of the clitoris are both shocking and appalling.

The claim, however, remains unverified.

Read on.
“Urologist Helen O’Connell and her colleagues described all of the important internal clitoral structures and their dimensions in a Journal of Urology paper— in 1998”

From 2004-2006, MRI studies imaged the clitoris during arousal.

Yet here’s a 2005 critique of textbook illustrations of the clitoris (aside: my phone doesn’t have clitoris in its dictionary). NOTE: urologists, again.

Jessica Pin provides more detail at @medium

medium.com/@jessica86/the…
In 2016, French students were “able to use the first full-size anatomical model of a clitoris in their sex education classes.”

Guess what. It’s bigger than it’s usually described.

And it’s not just human females who have a clitoris

The quoted tweet seems to rest on this Reddit post, which has no provenance (but has naysayers)

Maybe @cindygallop knows if any ObGyn textbook has been updated?

Repeating myself-I am NOT citing this Reddit post as truth of the original claim!

Another woman taken from us too soon due to #breastCancer.

@double_whammied
@double_whammied Two important points about Cokie Roberts:

First, she was integral to the success of @NPR

Second, news reports do not articulate that Cokie Roberts died from metastatic breast cancer (aka Stage 4). You don't "die of complications from breast cancer") at stages 0-3. @MBCNbuzz

Today in history

Addie Mae Collins, 14
Carol Denise McNair, 14
Carole Robertson, 14
Cynthia Diane Wesley, 11

Fifty-six years ago, September 15, 1963, these four girls were killed in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, a domestic act of terror perpetrated by the KKK.
At 10:21 a.m., dynamite exploded.

Addie's sister Susan survived but was permanently blinded.

This was not unlike the Charleston SC church shooting of 2015, although it was far less personal.

nps.gov/articles/fourl…
Birmingham was the most segregated city in the US in 1963. Since its construction in 1911, 16th Street Baptist served as the cultural center for the city's African American community.

Two months later - November 22, 1963 - JFK would be assassinated.

I have a bone to pick with your comms folks, @MDAndersonNews

1. Show me any research, please, where a “plant-based” diet ALONE has reduced the risk of cancer by 50%.
And what do you mean by “plant-based diet”? Vegan is a common connotation. There is no agreement on what this phrase means.

And we have a complex digestive system because we eat flesh and plant.
livescience.com/53483-omnivore… Wikipedia on plant-based diet
Note that SOY is a dominant plant protein, mimics estrogen and is not recommended for estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer patients.

Most of us in the US have not been fed soy since birth.

#Fact: Did you know that In January, February and March of 2019, 8,493 people were murdered in #Mexico, they say that this is the most violent first quarter on record that is a jump of 9% above the start of 2018, which was a record at the time.
They also say that the City of "Mexico City" experienced a 46% increase in the number of homicide victims compared to the first quarter of 2018 with that of 2019. #Mexico
I also made a news article on the crime increases in Tijuana the border city to the #US! That 14 people got killed in a 24 hour mark in #Tijuana. sotiridi.com/world/14-peopl…

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

docs.google.com/document/d/1_J…

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

1) Time to shelve #Bernie!
#KamalaHarris is back!
#Breitbart returns to the sacrificial early runner redelivering some history. #Harris, worked her way up dating(?) #WillieBrown. In 1994, then-outgoing #Speaker of the #CAStateAssemblyBrown appointed Harris to a state board....
2) with a $72,000 salary.
#Brown wrote in the #SanFranChronicle that he dated her & influenced her carrier.
breitbart.com/politics/2019/…
#NepotismMuch
Watch the money when she drops out of the #2020Race. It's all about #TheMoney...
3) One of the little nuggets that are left out of #WillieBrown's admission ==> #Brown had separated in 1982, but never divorced, so the statement is in fact #True... As well, that she used the affair for advancement. Her personal preferences/proclivities have since surfaced.

I see we've reached the "why didn't she tell an adult at the time" stage of the GOP response to #ChristineBlaseyFord - SIGH. Gather round & let's have a chat with some historical context to this convo.
I am 10 yrs younger than Ford & Kavanaugh - the first prominent study on the phenomenon called "Date Rape" was conducted in 1987... when I went to HS in the 90's "Date Rape" MOST people didn't consider it a true crime. #facts
Add to that the pure fact that sigmas & consequences of having BEEN raped are HORRIBLE NOW - they were down right unfathomable in the 80's & 90's. So no - a teenager that was just assaulted in a "date" scenario in the 80's would not have told an adult.

You're talking about errors in judgement which is different than whether emotions and logic are in conflict. (They're not)

Errors in judgement can happen from being overwhelmed by emotions just as easily as by making logical trips to erroneous conclusions.
Logic is a process by which we take things we believe or know to be true and use them to find our way to conclusions about the world around us.

Emotions are the way the things we believe or know to be true about the world make us feel.

Decision-making is a function of both
For instance. Logically speaking, the likelihood that engaging with you would have no impact on your position is high enough that doing so would make little sense.

But taking emotion into account, I feel compassion for your position and feel like engagement might help.

So I did

#Fact 1 - The Wage Gap is real. People who says it's not haven't read the data.

However, in places like the USA, the wage gap is *not* mostly due to sexism like many #femnist #WomenInScience are claiming it is today. Disparate outcomes doesn't imply disparate treatment.
Women typically choose fields that are lower paying; even in the #STEM fields. To attribute that to sexism only or even mostly is a very dishonest way of deriving an answer for this complex disparity.

Sources:

cew.georgetown.edu/wp-content/upl…

npr.org/sections/money…
When the US Department of Labor Statistics took into consideration personal choices, non-wage benefits, hours worked, experience, education, and other variables that contributes to the wage gap the percentage of earnings decreases to approximately 3%.
