I am pro-stinky. I am against misogyny.

I know the difference, and don't want clean misogynists thinking they have a shot.

Did you read the third link? The Nature one? The one that talks about how it crosses the blood brain barrier? If you wanna do aluminum idc, i care that you were warned that there could be consequences. If you choose to ignore the warnings that's fine.

People still smoke. Heck, I smoke (to increase the stank), but we KNOW it's not doing us any favours.

    I wasn't insinuating that you were misogynistic, though I can definitely see how that could be taken from my comment in the context of the article.

    I did read the third one, or at least what was available for free. It briefly mentions antiperspirants in passing in the same paragraph that mentions all of the likely much more serious confounding factors (including, for example, actual ingestion) that could be leading to aluminum crossing the blood-brain barrier.

    From your links I'm convinced that I probably shouldn't eat or inhale aluminum, but I see much less reason to avoid anti-perspirants.

    Edit: I'm also skeptical of your Nature link for all of the usual reasons to be wary of meta-studies.

    That's perfectly fine.

    Knowing the risks allows peeps to make informed choices.

    I know people who smoke aluminum, so yeah, of course there's levels to this shit. If you feel ok applying it topically every day, that's fine too. I really don't judge you.

    I don't do that shit, and I don't care who judges me for it.
