deleted because others have stated the same, duh. Shame on me for not reading all comments.

As someone living in NZ, it is not that great. Pakehas are racist, especially against Maori and Asians. We have the largest population of malnourised, poor children of the developed world, and we try to keep it that way. We have diseases that have been eradicated elsewhere, like rheumatic fever, scurvy, and scabies.…

THIS! And yes, even IF you are gay, you can still be extremely sexist towards women. Wanting to bang them (or not) has nothing to do with being assholes towards other human beings. It is called the Kyriarchy : The pyramid scheme of who hates who the most, and why attacks on WOC can be both sexist and racist at the…

Gosh, this shit makes me so mad. The alt-assholes have won worldwide, because POC are not allowed to point out racism, women have no say in what is sexist and what not, and LGBTQ people are getting sued (in the UK, at least) for publicly telling someone off for being homophobic. And normal people are not allowed to…

Some women even get actively discouraged, and not only in the US. Don’t use that word, don’t scratch there, never touch there, then the never ending nicknames that imply shame, the hiding of menstrual items, and the influx of BS that it is normal for women that sex hurts, that it is over when he comes, and that his…

When I look at what is going on at the US, and then remember what I was taught in school in Germany, and how my ex-jungmaedchen grandma gleefully told about how that “jew” got beat up in school when she was a little girl, (My mom gave me the talk of how grandma had Alzheimers and was not herself anymore after that),…

That is the issue, a few weeks is not training. Other countries send them for more than three years to police academy, and in the US, some trigger happy gun lovers volunteer, and after a few weeks, are called police officers.

I did Wu shu for some time. Teacher wanted me to learn the side splits, and practice and stretch. I told him that I am against it, since I am lacking a few cm of bone in my hip pans, as in my hip bones will easily pop out because the pan is not protecting the joint. He insisted on the stretch. A few minutes later I…

Also, Nazism was inherently sexist. The white women had to be protected from the taint, a tainted white woman was to die, and the only role of a woman in aryan society was to bear healthy aryan children, and many of them. Some women were matched with husbands just to make perfect aryan babies. No education, no work,…

If it is legal to take upskirt pics of women walking around in skirts, it is legal to post faces of dudes carrying torches.

“Fishing” to get a rise out of him, maybe.

That sounds very...dismissive. Kinda like telling someone who lost a body part in a car crash that they will be able to live a fulfilling life. Yes, they will recover, but yes, those scars will not ever vanish, either. The scars (mental or physical) will become a part of their lives which they will carry until death.

yes. there was this study where they used one CV with a couple of names and send them to professors, and asked them to judge them on their competency for lab manager, and what salary they should get. Women always got the lower wage, and were more likely to not be recommended for the position. And it was the exact same…

As far as I have read, women working with Gomeshi warned each other before things got out of hand. But he sometimes got them before they were able to do the talk.

well, there is this theory of a glass cliff:
If there is a situation/company/project/ministry that is so fucked up beyond repair, that no male wants to touch it bc career-killer, they put a woman into the position to fix it. If she fails, she fails because of her being female, and will never ever get a job again. if…

three years of constant pain and dramatic weight loss thanks to inflammation of the pancreatic duct. But I “looked good”, “should eat more” and “its just cramps” or”must be pregnant”. Fuck (my) dismissive male doctors.

this is very similar to taking away children from parents with physical disabilities (and the forced sterilizations), or the discussion that a 10 year old is not mature enough for an abortion, but mature enough for pregnancy, birthing and parenting. The US is fucked up.

it really sounds like he is getting off on the “I touched the untouchable”/”i made the angel fall” trope. You know what I mean, I just cannot find the right words atm, thanks to the great gift of a viral infection.

I need to talk about Chyna. She was a well trained wrestler, damned to hair pulling under Vince. When he did not keep her on (again, not because she was not good, but because of boobs), she was forced to look for jobs elsewhere...which did not exist for a female wrestler back then. She went to Hollywood, in hopes to…

Methinks “unrelated to the Russia investigation” is the new codename for that investigation. As long as they use it, they will get funding, persecutors, and nobody gets fired.
