So, this was going to just be a short, simple post about Dr. Nancy Snyderman getting a new show on MSNBC. Until I started reading the comments on the post I just linked to.
A comment about Snyderman's appearance helps the conversation devolve into a general discussion of women and their various qualifications for being a MILF.
What does the sexism and general crassness of this site's commenters have to do with health? I mean, besides making my blood pressure rise? And besides providing fodder for me to speculate about the psychological syndromes that such comments must be symptoms of?
I guess not much.
Nancy Snyderman, a longtime public figure discussing healthcare in America, got her own show on MSNBC. Because health is top of mind for people in this country. Because we all are aware that our system is in trouble and needs fixing.
And the best some commenters can do is speculate on her physical appearance, not her qualifications to lead this national conversation.
Awesome priorities. Bodes well.
Sigh.
