I wonder whether the outrage directed toward Joanna Wietrzyk doesn't reflect an age-old double standard in which women are expected to be "pure" and unsullied by normal physiological functions. Would the backlash be this intense if the athlete had been a man? dbalablog.blogspot.com/2019/12/on-g...

(1/2)This is truly a case of the pot calling the kettle black. For years the AAP has made false and misleading claims in support of male genital mutilation and still supports the "right" of parents to subject their sons (but not their daughters) to medically unnecessary genital surgery.

(2/2) The irony is that the AAP is undoubtedly right about the childhood vaccine schedule but why would anyone trust them after they've spent years sacrificing their credibility on the altar of male genital cutting? dbalablog.blogspot.com/2016/08/wher...
