This study does not assert that a majority of atheists are high function autistic, rather that high functioning autistic people are more likely to be atheist. It’s also important to note that this is a correlation which, as we all know, does not imply causation. People with ‘mild’ forms of autism are more likely to [...]
I’m fairly skeptical, but I wasn’t always. I’ve been to chiropractors before. Two of them, in my lifetime. I never paid for it. The first was someone who was friends with my parents and never charged me. The second was paid through my insurance; I think it was seen as preventative care. Some companies won’t take [...]
Lately men have been getting a dose of what women have been getting for a lot longer. Though, equality is still way off in the distance. Most of the beauty products marketed to women (and, more recently, men) seem to be full of empty promises. I can’t speak about every beauty product out there in [...]

I would sometimes simply say “I’m not” but sometimes I felt offended and would utter “what’s wrong with mine?” 25 years it took me to love my own name. And now I have to change it? That, in conjunction with my general feminist attitude towards life, afforded me my only choice. Do nothing. ;)
