  • That’s very simplistic, there’s loads of cancer treatments, what you’re describing is a kind of broad brush chemotherapy, but there’s lots of more targeted versions, then loads of different pills and potions, immunotherapies, radiotherapies and the good old “cut the thing out” method.

    Cancer treatment is the best funded area of medicine and there’s loooads of advances going on all the time.









  • I’m not sure you’re understanding the situation. Imagine if 1 out of 10 dogs you approached were aggressive, would you feel happy around dogs? Or would you protect yourself?

    You’re fully aware that women are taking actions are protecting themselves, so why are you taking this personally? Why not just be understanding?


  • This is so common. We don’t really tend to discuss it really cause it kind of harsh to be public about rejections, but it happens a lot.

    I had a guy ask me out a few years ago, I really delicately explained I wasn’t interested, and he took it really well and we had a hug. I told everyone about that for years because of how surprising it was.

    As a girl who sometimes wears band shirts, there’s a certain type of guy, and it’s always a metal band, and he’ll walk straight up to you and go “Can you name the first album?”, “Can you name the drummer?”, and of course the most common “Can you name three songs?”. It’s not a nice friendly chat, you know you’re being quizzed. They’re checking if you’re ‘worthy’.

    Yet I’ve been with guy friends who wear metal shirts every single day, and it never happens to them. Most they get is “Hey! Great band!”
