Because abortions aren’t the only way the patriarchy wants to control your junk

OBGYN: Yeah, you are exhibiting all the signs of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. I’m so sorry.

Me: Huh? Oh, yeah. Insulin resistance, impossible weight loss, pre-disposition to type II diabetes, painful AF periods. Likelihood of bleed outs. Crap. That blows.

OBGYN: Yeah, well that too.

Me: *blinks* What?

OBGYN: Well, PCOS makes it very difficult for a woman to conceive and carry.

Me: BWHAHAHAHA. Yeah. No. No babies. Ever. Never wanted them. At all. Maternal instinct is not strong with this one. Only upside today.

OBGYN: Well then. Not exactly problem solved, but we’ll run with it.

Me: So about the MIND-SEARING PAIN and occasional HEAVY AF BLEEDING. When can we deal with that.

OBGYN: Not until you are 35.

Me: Dah fuq?

OBGYN: Not my rules. Hospitalization won’t even consider any treatment unless it’s life or death until you’re 35.

Me: Why?

OBGYN: Because you might want to have a baby.

Me: I’m 31. I didn’t want kids when I was 11, I didn’t want them at 21, and I sure as shit don’t want them now. Can’t I just sign a form that says “I don’t ever want a baby take it out, take it out now”?

OBGYN: Nope.

Me: Why?

OBGYN: Government rules. No removal of baby making parts before 35 unless your life is in immediate jeopardy.

TL;DR: The government knows better about your baby making parts than you do.

This is just evil. They are literally refusing to treat a potentially life-threatening condition, not just without the patient’s consent but despite the patient’s protest. Evil.

According to the National Women’s Health Network, there’s no legal age restriction- “Technically, any woman of legal age can consent to the procedure, but it should be medically justified. It’s incredibly unlikely that a doctor will perform a hysterectomy on women ages 18-35 unless it is absolutely necessary for their well-being and no other options will suffice.” Of course, this is in the US. Other countries may have different rules. 

If you’re in the US and your OBGYN says “government says no,” look for a new one because they lied to you. If your OBGYN says that “hospital says no,” look for a new one because this one doesn’t respect your bodily autonomy. It is true that most surgeons don’t like to perform hysterectomies until you’re in your late 30s at the earliest, but a respectful surgeon will listen to their patient and not just write them off. Sexism in hospitals is alive and well– and it’s not just anecdotal evidence. There’s been a history of looking at it academically/professionally since the 70s (look into Mary Halas as a good place to start if you’re curious), and it crops up all the time in articles in the Journal of Women’s Health and Women’s Health Issues, and the International Journal of Women’s Health all of which are peer-reviewed, well-respected medical journals. It’s absolutely a real thing. 

Anyways, I guess what I’m getting at is this: here’s a list of doctors (mostly US-centric) who perform different sterilization surgeries without giving their patients trouble. While even a surgeon on this list might caution anyone under 35 away from a hysterectomy, at the end of the day it’s your body and your pain. (And some of the docs here have been known to perform hysterectomies on people in their 20s with no fuss.) While this list won’t be practical for everyone- after all, medical treatment is ridiculously expensive in this country, it might help someone. 

THIS IS NOT A LAW, the fucker LIED.

I get so annoyed when people are like “we don’t need to be teaching sex ed to kids and teens who aren’t having sex” then why are we making kids and teens do fire drills and lockdown drills if no emergencies are happening???? because when the time comes they’ll know what to do to stay safe you stupid onion peel

you stupid onion peel

With Kazakhstan being a generally Slavic/Turkik country, and there being a generally mixed society, there’s actually a… very good chance he’s just a white slavic dude. Unless Kubo comes out adn says he’s an Asian Kazakhstani, it’s not terrible to assume he’s a white dude.

shut up

cool so while it’s true that at one point, slavics outnumbered ethnic kazakhs, by the time kazakhstan earned independence, russians left kazakhstan in droves due to perceived inequality and lack of economic opportunities over the next decade. by the start of the 21st century, the number of russians in kazakhstan dropped almost 30%, from 6.2 million to around 4.4 million. those who chose to stay in the country either lacked the resources to leave or truly wanted to stay; currently, kazakhs make up 65.5% of the population while uzbeks, uygurs, tatars, and others make up the remaining minority. so actually, if you want to talk about probability and “good chance”, he’s most likely asian. also if you have enough basic deduction skills to look at how he’s drawn, he’s asian.

also hi, i’m an international relations minor with a focus on central asia and wrote a 10 page research paper on ethnic composition and tensions within kazakhstan so if this anon would like to step into my inbox i’d love to talk 

Didnt the creators literally tweet that otabek is drawn to look Asian

In one of the PASH interviews Kubo said he’s made to have “features like a Mongolian person” also they said they modeled him after Denis Ten a million times but naw y’all gotta have white otabek altin for some reason … …

He is literally modeled after Denis Ten, who has very OBVIOUS South Korean heritage. Stop trying to white wash Otabek just because you are afraid of a character being something other than Caucasian.
