I, a woman, often feel like my body doesn't belong to me.

12. As to your first question, I have no doubt women feel it a lot worse than men. You are...

judged on everything from your temperament to appearance, and those reproduction hurdles are really beyond the pale. We talk tough, but I wonder how many men could deal with pregnancy and childbirth, especially while hearing judgmental pronouncements about it all.

But, we all have pretty much the same digestive system, and to make sure the colon is clean, the 30' or so of stomach, small intestine, and large intestine have to be cleaned out. The intestines of a thin 5' woman may be smaller than those of a 6' fat man, but not by enough to make a difference in the amount of drain cleaner to do the job.

At 6' 200 pounds, I've had several colonoscopies, and almost never finish the gallon or so of that stuff. It's never caused a problem, though, and all of them were done with no problem.
