Nurses need to up their misandry game

I am in Nursing school currently and this ish pisses me off so hard. We sit in school ALL the time and hear the woes of being a male nurse, how they are minorities, how we need to accept and include them. When in reality they get hired SO much easier, they get the more desirable jobs, generally they are treated better…

most of my family are or were in the nursing field including both of my parents.

This "men are better at negotiating" bit is shit. From my experience, employers are more willing to negotiate with men.

I'm just going to throw this out there but most European nations should be the last people being smug about racism. When it gets so bad that you're required to put up signs/ads saying stop racism in your stadiums you know you've got some issues.

If you read enough comments here, you will certainly see that Canadians, British, Swedish—you name it—commenters firmly believe racism ONLY exists in the US.

I consider concert ticket stubs and my old of sentimental value. My answer? Digitize. Take scan of the tix, take pics of the shirts and create albums.

Yeah, I was wondering if the Cultural Appropriation Police were gonna get on that. Maybe it's okay if it's someone of one oppressed culture hijacking the symbols of another oppressed culture?

That is the more charitable interpretation, but I'm sure some would complain that "science fiction pop culture doesn't make cultural appropriation okay blarg blarg blarg"

Cultural appropriation twofer?

FWIW, I never found CBT useful either. (I, too, have been to a long line of professionals, including multiple hospitalizations.) After hitting rock bottom, I started seeing a psychologist who used Carl Rogers' Person Centered approach with patients, and within a couple of years, I had stopped drinking and using,…

As someone who's been to psychiatrists, psychologists, and lesser forms of therapists, and who's also spent time in the joint (in patient) my big frustration with psychological methods comes down to a hatred of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I'm simplifying it a bit, but it boils down to, "You know how it's bad…

I have never known a single server that actually succeeded in getting their employer to make up the difference. Not one.

I know - choosing not to tip on "principle" is basically the same as me feeling like I'm making a difference by not donating money to anything. I mean, at least I'm not donating to the bad organizations right?! I'm so principled.

She doesn't even use any of the somewhat understandable arguments against tipping (which are still bullshit, but at least you can see where they fucking come from). "How inconvenient that I have to figure out what to pay!" "My unrelated job where I get paid the legal minimum wage doesn't tip me!" "Why should I pay a…

How many times can it be said that if you can afford to eat out, you can fucking afford to tip? Not enough times, apparently. Jeebus. I love to tip. I loooooove it. I feel frickin' righteous about it. Sometimes, I tip my barista FIFTY percent, btw, even though she or he has spent a mere 60 seconds on my dirty chai tea…

My grandma was a WWII veteran in the Navy (they were called WAVES) . It still awes me that she was brave enough to join up in one of the first groups of women to be in the service. She had such wonderful stories about her time in the service, mostly stationed in Hawaii- it makes me sad that her generation is dying…
