           Love hearing about Bronx youth embracing their womanhood and helping to better inform their peers, teachers, and society at large. I’d say it’s time to #GoWithTheFlow and shatter the stigma surrounding “that time of the month.” 
           In a girl's bathroom at Bronx Prep Middle School, there's a guide on how to "properly dispose feminine products." On the list? "Make sure that no one views or handles product." These eighth-graders decided they're tired of NOT talking about periods:  https://t.co/ajyZzfIf7b

             Right now, the conversation about what women can do with our own bodies is being driven by too many male politicians. It should be led by the actual experts: women and doctors. So I'm going to hear from the people most directly affected by abortion bans like Georgia's.

             No doctor in training should be penalized for addressing his or her mental health.

             1/6: Recent studies show the gender #wagegap is actually a motherhood penalty: on average, childless women now earn almost 96% of what men make, while mothers experience a significant wage gap compared to fathers @sarahkliff @voxdotcom
