<p>> Any doctor's office just blindly asks you sign a HIPAA authorization release form.<p>You are incorrect. You are being asked to acknowledge that you received a copy of their privacy policies. You can decline and it doesn't change very much (if anything), because they will still document that they informed you of them... which they did.<p>It's understandable that people don't read what they're signing; I often don't have time, either. But you are posting <i>about</i> that form having not paid much attention to it, which is less common, in my experience.</p>

<p>In my opinion saying "women support rape culture" in reference to the author approaches that high load. If I had said it, I would be worried about a slander suit: calling a person a supporter of rape culture seems like slander per se, unless the author has done something worse than work with an  academic pariah.</p>
