Why does being a woman put you at greater risk of having anxiety?
Part biology, part what we teach our kids about their place in the world.

lenyberry

So we’re teaching girls to be anxious wrecks and boys to disregard the possibility of consequences for incautious behavior. 

This explains a lot of things. Like… why women are anxious wrecks and men are frequently surprised when it turns out their actions do in fact have consequences.

And why men don’t bother asking for help even when they really need it, and thus more frequently die from treatable health conditions (including depression), while women end up getting a broad stereotype of being hypochondriacs (and then having a hard time getting treatment for legitimate health concerns).

Great example of how feminism serves not just women but people of all genders, including men.

‘Sexual deviant’ - I’m a scientist who's spent decades of my life researching sex. Even I don’t know what that means. How can something deviate when there is no norm? No two humans would - paint the same painting or write the same poem or compose the same opera, so why would we expect two humans to express their sexuality in the same way? In fact, if there is one thing the years of research has taught us, it’s that no being’s sexual response is formed on an assembly line. There is no shape it 'must’ take. It’s as particular and individualistic as a kiss. And where there is such infinite variety, there’s no norm. There’s only deviation. Your honor, I am willing to plead guilty to sexual deviance, because I am a sexual deviant; because we are all sexual deviants.

Masters of Sex premiered five years ago today (September 29, 2013)

“Sheen and Caplan have amazing chemistry. You can see him breathing in her presence, watching her eyebrows dance around when she talks, and you can see him try to get his brows to wiggle a little in response. This guy has a lot to learn.” - Huffington Post review
“There was a lot riding on Lizzy and me, and it could have been a disaster, but we clicked immediately within a very short space of time. During our first camera test, you could just feel it was going to work - there was a buzz between us.” - Michael Sheen
