I interrupt my usual report about sexism in the entertainment industry to bring you the following update to last week’s article about the California milk ads that promised ladies that their horrific ladytimes could be assuaged by drinking this brand-new drink you’ve never heard of that all the kids are into called “milk” (once again, do we really need people to tell us to drink milk?). In short, the ads have been removed due to widespread complaints of sexism …
According to the Montreal Gazette, doctors are worried that the recent negative press and lawsuits surrounding the “fourth-generation” birth control brands “Yaz” and “Yazmin” might scare women off of the birth control pill altogether. Yaz and Yazmin were quite popular for their “added effects” of reducing premenstrual weight gain and reducing acne, but have become infamous in the past year or so because of a medical study which suggested the two were more likely to …
A new study out of the University of North Carolina finds that anorexic women are on average more likely than non-anorexic women to have unplanned pregnancies.

This is not true, as these women do still ovulate (the news reports do not mention if anorexic women also have higher rates of miscarriage given their compromised health and nutrition, although I would not be surprised). However, the author …
