Fermions "include all quarks and leptons and all composite particles made of an odd number of these, such as all baryons and many atoms and nuclei."

Ferns are sometimes used for for remediating contaminated soil.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fern

So as far as I can tell, ancient people thought that fern seeds were invisible (in truth they're spores and too tiny for the human eye to see) and that started a whole thing through the ages of people thinking that the fern seed would make you invisible.

As one would obviously guess, fenestration is "the creation of a window in the vestibule or in the lateral semicircular canal, allowing the transmission of sound waves from the middle ear to the perilymph."

#F58 (female to femme fatale) ft. Rebecca Martin Fagerholm

Wednesday Dec 18, 2024

Rebecca mentioned this documentary "The Brink of Dreams"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HA9v0TyWS4I

I mean, what can be said about "Female Genital Mutilation".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_genital_mutilation

https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/female-genital-mutilation

The film "Tight" mentioned by Rebecca:

https://vimeo.com/1024532689

I couldn't find the exact quote Rebecca was talking about with men and healthcare but Gloria Steinem is quoted as saying "If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament." There have been other quotes from other people along the same lines.

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/oct/17/gloria-steinem-activist-interview-memoir-my-life-on-the-road

I think many people would find it hard to argue against this statement: "Feminism holds the position that modern societies are patriarchal—they prioritize the male point of view—and that women are treated unjustly in these societies."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminism

Carina's episode was #E151 where we talked about estrogen and more.

Some say Cleopatra was a Femme Fatale.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femme_fatale

The word of the episode is "feminazi".
