A few months ago, we were at a supermarket with my mom, buying some stuff.

My mom needed an antiperspirant. When she was about to grab a black one, I heard a guy "helpfully" telling her that she was grabbing one "For Men™", that the ones "For Women™" were the pink ones.

I immediately looked at the guy like "lol what, who asked".

(My mom uses "men's" antiperspirants because she doesn't care about that, and they are usually cheaper than "women's")

Screenshot of a Twitter post from user Ron Iver (ronnui_ with an underscore at the end) as viewed through a Nitter instance. The post says:

Women get to smell like real things (vanilla, lavender) but men have to smell like concepts. What the fuck is "cool sport rush"?

Herbal medicine, to be free to use plants for medicine as we see fit as adults, and not need a permission slip from a doctor.

Homeopathic medicine is something different.

And doctors won't tell you anything on using plants because they can only prescribe things that have passed clinical trials and no one will pay billions of dollars to do that for a plant that they can't patent. In europe and elsewhere they do prescribe some plants but not here in the US.

Maybe you should learn what you are talking about before taking a position condemning it.

Where do you live that you need permission from a doctor to take herbal medicine? You can go pick some flowers and brew a tea any time you want. Every drug store in my country has a whole section of herbal remedies.

Besides, I've had two psychs support my use of ashawaghanda, omega-3s and psilocybin mushrooms. One even gave me recommendations on where to get the good shit. However, I stopped doing both when I found a new anti-depressant more consistently effective, where continuing using products that effect the same brain chemicals would have bad side effects.

No, they can't legally prescribe it, but they can advise me on it, just like they can't prescribe excercise but they still tell me about good places to hike.

Naturopaths, nutritionists and dieticians are a thing, too. GPs just don't have that specific training, though nutrition is becoming more integrated into medicine.
