WTF Friday: Cure A Feminist

Most of the time, our WTF Friday posts have me laughing. But this week, this photo just has me saying ick. Ick ick ick. Take a look at this page from Maxim. They printed it back in 2003, but it’s still circulating the internet. In the story, Maxim tells their readers how to “cure a feminist.” Complete with photos of what they think a “militant, protesting vegan” and an “actual girl” look like. Eew, just eew. Why am I a “militant, protesting” feminist? Because of sh*t like this.

Can you believe Maxim actually ran this in their magazine? Am I the only one who thinks this isn’t a very funny joke…if it’s even a joke at all?

    I agree: Ick. But I expect this sort of shit out of Maxim.

    Ugh. It's things like this that make 'feminist' a bad word. Feminism just means striving for equality between genders, not thinking women are better, or that men are bad. Thanks for posting this!

    In my travels, I have found numoreus claim denials as a result of mis-coding of ICD9 and or CPT codes. This is most related to doctors placing multiple diagnosis and procedure codes on a claim. My unqualified guestimation of this situation is that your doctor placed a pre-existing code on the claim. The insurance companies are not errant claim denyers. My suggestion to you is obtain a copy of the billing statement from the doctor and submit the claim with documentation via appeal. It would not be a surprise to me that your doctor miscoded one ICD-9 code with a pre-existing element. Your focus at this point should not be the insurance company until you validate the very information that was submitted.

Tell us what you're thinking...
