The pic isn't so good, Mati doesn't even look at the camera, but yeah. The article is very condensed by the right ideas are there.
I will translate it for you, [my thoughts between brackets]

Interesting. You may not have picked up on this, but I'm a pretty diehard feminist. I've never seen a problem with people marrying young (though I worry because at least in this country, marriages started between the ages of 16 and 21 have the highest divorce rate). My adviser got married at 19. She and her husband are celebrating the 48th anniversary f the day they met this fall

I also don't likr when it's assumed. In my family it was never assumed a man wasn't able to do "woman stuff", because we saw it wasn't true (sometimes by choice, sometimes quite not, like a widower). But when I read a stay at home dad can only be miserable, I think back of how fun it was with my dad, and I roll my eyes

I wouldn't plan on getting a hysterectomy until I was 25 or so. But even thought I know that it's a viable treatment option, I can't get a doctor to even discuss it with me, not even in a hypothetical manner. They won't even discuss what my opter options for treatment are.

I'm not sure how much of female doctors being judgemental is about proving they're like men. Surely, there is a lot of pressure for women to be just like the boys, but there's also this idea that they must know what is/isn't normal in the female body because, well, they have one too.

true... if your female doc is a horse, and you're not, OY!

Oh, and do you have a link to the original article? I'd be curious to see it!
