One brave woman poses for a sculpture that shows there is beauty in all bits.
The other night as I sat down to enjoy a tasty pizza dinner, I flipped on the television just in time to see a close-up shot of a woman's labia being "trimmed" by a surgeon.
"Look!" I shrieked at my fiancé, as I involuntarily crossed my legs. "Look what they're showing! How can they show that on regular TV?!?" David glanced up from his pepperoni, barely raising an eyebrow.

This is not entirely surprising. Overweight women have a hard time getting pregnant. It seems like the key to fertility is healthiness. And it looks like healthiness and fat are at odds.

It showed that every BMI point above 29 is the equivalent of being one year older. And this is just in women who ovulate … Read More
