That's the same symbol for woman in Mandarin. Weird. (I am just learning Chinese, so I was super excited that I recognized it).
I just envision someone with a healthcard that says they are male, going to a doctor with abdominal pains, and instead of trying to rule out ovarian/uterine cancers/etc., they think it's something else. Biologically speaking, sex can be an important difference when it comes to healthcare.
I think this is really important, and could be very valuable information in the event of a medical emergency.
Let me explain to you why what you're saying is so problematic.
Or, we could stop devaluing work that's predominantly done by women...
I want her to record that song so I can pass the fuck out to it.

My response to anyone who complains about breastfeeding is to shame them for eating in public.
But it isn't for you. It's for the men who can't take a "no thanks", of which there are plenty. I've had men scream and yell at me in the streets for rejecting them. I've been called a "bitch", "dyke", "whore", etc. all for simply saying that I wasn't interested.
They aren't "useless subjects". Psychologists save people's lives, sociologists can help make sense of social trends and patterns (including wage gaps), women's studies can help people understand our social systems, and how it benefits and disadvantages people, and how those things can be changed to make people's…
This "never said no" thing is bullshit. A lot of women in situations like this are far too fearful to give a 'hard/strong no'. They attempt to passively extricate themselves from the situation in an attempt to preserve their own safety.
My disdain for her situation is only related to the fact that anti-abortion right-wing nutbags will use her as the poster girl for "see, it's not so bad!!"
This!
Sorry, but your thing about sunglasses is unfair. I have prescription sunglasses. If I take them off, I can't see a fucking thing. And if I am going into a store/shop temporarily to get something, I am not going to take the extra time to pull out my regular glasses and switch them out.
My husband and I resolved this by getting separate blankets. We sleep on the same bed, beside each other, but everything on the bed is individualized. I am far too much of a blanket hog for it to work otherwise. Hahaha!
God... a voice of common sense. Thank you.
I don't even have the energy to reply to this inanity.
Unfortunately, unless I can mull over my arguments for hours on end, I often get caught up in my own thought process and don't deliver in the most effective way. I am also wicked jet-lagged, so I am struggling to deal with basic functions at this time. My apologies if my points are less than astute.
