Need a break from all the depressing things about being a woman in this world? This circle is for you!
This circle is for celebrating all the good news relating to women's interests (and by all, we mean ALL, even the things you might disagree with, e.g. achievements or advancements for women in the military, business, religion, etc.)
Rules:
-
Relevance: Women should be the primary focus. Posts about men being held accountable, found guilty of crimes, etc. are NOT appropriate for this circle.
-
Formatting: Posts should be actual news, preferably in the form of an article or from an official news source. Do not edit the headline of linked articles; if you would like to provide additional commentary, please do so in a comment.
-
Civility: Keep discussions on topic. Do not denigrate the achievements or advancements of women.
-
Promoting Infighting or Drama: Do not start or perpetuate infighting or drama. Disagreements must be civil and must be about the CONTENT of the post, not about the poster, other commenters, the site, etc.
The Sitewide Rules and Sitewide Guidelines are both enforced here.

I'm in the right age range but I wasn't allowed to get this as a minor and by the time I was 18 I wasn't of the right mind set to be thinking about preventative care. Thankfully all my paps have been normal.
I wonder if nowadays getting vaccinations are included in the medical care a minor can choose to pursue for herself. I know back then I could go to the doctors on my own and get most of my care without the input of my parents but they needed special parental consent for vaccines.
Can't you still get it as adult, if you pay for it yourself?
I am considering doing that. (Reason I didn't get it when it came out was because I didn't trust they had taken enough care with the research, seeing as it was only recommended for women ... if it was really harmless, wouldn't they recommend it for males, too? But it has been on the market for a while now, so I am considering getting it.)
I got it at 30 after ahem multiple sexual partners. My doc felt any attempt to prevent cancer was worth it. Wish I'd gotten it sooner, but my mom was one of the puritanical objectors, and I didn't think about it much until my new Dr brought it up. I hope to goddess I got it in time because I've watched my sis deal with the bad HPV, and I wouldn't wish the treatments she endures on anyone.
