On a Manic Monday, I really only have one news article that I wanted to share with my readers. It would be Health magazine’s list of the best & worst moments in women’s health. I was surprised to see that the “modern” tampon was listed as the number 1 “best” while birth control pills being declared safe was listed at number 5.

Other moments that made me think included Katie Couric’s public (on. the. news!) colonoscopy and the fact that Gardasil (which many physicians are still leery of) was on the list. Moving on to the seven lows in women’s health, I was reminded why I’m happy to live in the 21st century: cigarettes aren’t marketed as empowering anymore, sterilizations aren’t forced, hysteria is not diagnosed and Plan B is prescribed.

I absolutely recommend that every female reader check out this article, and then let me know what you think!
