Hi.Sorry if the story is too long.I'm a 27 years old Saudi woman. I’ve lived all my life in Saudi up until I was 18 where I left for 6 years to Jordan and then Boston to complete my studies. I’ve been back to Saudi ever since and I currently work here. My story isn’t very different from many Saudi girls and probably not as severe as most, but most of them refrain from speaking out out of fear or even don’t acknowledge the contradiction and oppression they are living under. I have been raised in a broken home ever since I was old enough to understand. My mother had a very tough childhood where she was neglected, abused emotionally and physically, tormented, bullied in addition to living in extremely harsh conditions. She was obviously affected mentally by this but was never diagnosed or received therapy. She married my father when she was 18, even though she loved someone else and was forced to marry him since he was from a better family. In Saudi Arabia this is how things work in ...

*UPDATE* I thought my husband had a stroke and when I tried to help him he said he was leaving me.

Here’s the original post: http://ift.tt/2nV2Yb2 lot happened this week that I don’t want to relive, but I wanted to update you all since you stayed with me through this.We finally went to the doctor. He admitted to the doctor it was drugs, Xanax specifically. The doctor didn’t think further testing was necessary and gave him a referral for rehab. He begged me to stay and promised to go to rehab if there was hope for us. I said no and he said he wouldn’t bother going then.We broke up and I moved out. I’m picking up the cats tomorrow.I hope this post helps someone else in the future. Thank you for taking the time to support and guide me through this terrifying experience. I don’t think I could’ve been brave enough to leave without you, I might have fallen for more false promises. You have no idea how much you all mean to me for this.Cheetolove via /r/TwoXChromosomes http://ift.tt/2Efl3f0 Here’s the original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/7vgdtu/i_thought_my_hus...

My daughter just got admitted to a psych unit for trying to kill herself after she was raped and I can't hold it together

I am a single father. I just got home from the hospital and I feel so defeated and like everything has crashed and burned today.Long story short, this morning I walked in on my daughter sitting on the floor of her bedroom, about to hang herself. We have a great relationship and I even have permission to enter her room if she didn't answer my knocking for a minute because she's always using noise canceling headphones.I went to ask her where our dog's harness was, and upon opening the door I just saw her sobbing violently but silently, and looking at the noose hanging in her closet. I knew exactly what it was and I ran to her and yanked it out of her hand.I told her we had to go to the ER and she began yelling at me. So I ended up calling 911 because I could not physically force her to go on my own.In the ER, at first she was angry and would not allow me to stay in her room, but she did get calmer and actually asked me to stay because she was scared. We talked to nurses, doc...

Allowing employers a “moral exemption” from offering birth control coverage is immoral. The issue here should not be an employer’s religious or moral beliefs but the needs, beliefs, health and safety of the employee. Your employers religion shouldn’t dictate your healthcare options.

Currently waiting at the ER with my husband. 3 hours in, it's almost 5:30am, and I feel for the staff. It's obvious that they're shortstaffed and busy as hell, but they're still going all out, even with a tired smile on their faces. Thanks for what you're doing. Your work is very much appreciated. via /r/TwoXChromosomes http://ift.tt/2DaKdpY Currently waiting at the ER with my husband. 3 hours in, it's almost 5:30am, and I feel for the staff.

I have a Yeast Infection, No Money, No Health Insurance, and I went to Planned Parenthood. My Visit and Treatment Was Covered by Their Insurance.

[Yeast infection, Planned Parenthood, Great Review]I’ve had a really persistent yeast infection for just over a month now and I went to planned parent hood to get it checked out. I have about 2 cents in my bank account, I am a 21 year old female. I’m currently uninsured, I’m a full time student (on my own) who is also a Resident Assistant, and works for the Campus Recycling Center. Being an RA covers my college room and board, and I get a stipend of $20 bi weekly. I work 8 hours a week at the recycling center and get about $120 bi weekly. That’s a grand total of $140 every two weeks. So I’ve been avoiding going to the doctors because I really cannot afford it. I tried using Monistat ($16) because that worked the last time I was yeasty. It didn’t work this time.My male sexual partner has insurance so I suggested that he go to Planned Parenthood to get an STI test done just for us to be safe. He did and he came up clean, but he also went out of his way to ask about yeast infections whil...

US teen birth rate drops to all time low. Gee, I wonder why?! Is it because of all that abstinence only education? Or because access to contraception is at an all time high thanks to Obamacare? My money is on the latter.

I’m glad that more and more people are getting in trouble for sexual harassment, but I hope this trickles down to the working class soon. There are Harvey Weinsteins and Al Frankens in every bar and restaurant I’ve ever worked at. When rich women speak up, these men lose their jobs, but not the poor

The Texas budget includes $20 million more in funding for a controversial program that seeks to discourage women from getting abortions. Republicans claim they don't want taxpayer dollars spent in regard to abortion, but apparently they're fine with it as long as it is spent discouraging abortion.
