I rented a house with a bathtub that drained directly into the crawlspace… We also had a groundhog crawl up from the crawlspace into our walls where our hot water tank was. (Yes, the landlord put the hot water tank IN the wall. You had to deconstruct part of the house to get to it.)
Never had a bread sandwich I see
So they could go to school? Have heathcare? Not starve? Most people in the military fall into two camps:
Are a dumb shithead
Are poor
Many just joined as poor kids (<21) because that was the best or only option for them.
It has increasing been made a crime in various states to various degrees. See the woman who was arrested in the Florida statehouse and the college bathroom ban in Ohio.
To add, cisgender is not that new of a word, it’s been around since the 90s in English. Using the term “biological male/female” is an immidate red flag as it carries with it the insinuation that trans identities are not ligitimate; you could just say “not trans.” Hence the heavy use by right wingers and bigots.
I guess we just make shit up now? The NLRB doesn’t have fees for reporting violations, and Pro-Bono lawyers charge a percent of the settlement not "more if they won’t settle. "
Yeah, it wouldn’t be worth the effort to go after for a minimum wage gig, but for a 150k career? Definitely. Don’t let “fear of HR” turn you into a door mat that tolerates a toxic work environment.
This narrative that abortion bans have all the doctors scared and it ties their hands from doing anything involving a pregnant mother is false.
Tell that to the women who have been left without proper care and the doctors that have fled the christian-nationalist states passing these laws. Get your right-wing nonsense out of here.
If the daughter is older enough, sounds like it’s her/her estates debt. Not her parents, unless they were unfortunate enough to be manipulatrd into assuming responsibily.
Then you can take them to court for wrongful termination.
I’ve never worked for a company where HR was anything but useless. When you get fired for shit like this (or in general) it’s usually someone in the management chain calling the shots.
Loosing a job means no more mortgage payments, so that’s not too far fetched.
just because of a wig and makeup
Why do bigots always assume trans women can’t grow their own hair?
Is the assumption seriously that your average trans woman looks like a burly bearded man with a receding hairline?
Liberal feminism convinced women that it would be liberating for them to take on both traditional, household gender roles, but all it did was saddle women with an even greater burden.
I disagree wholeheartedly with this sentiment with regard to early liberal feminism. Liberal feminism allowed women to vote, go to school, have a bank account without their owner’s husband’s permission, get divorced, and gave women the freedom to choose what they want for their individual lives. If a woman wants to pursue a life full of traditional gender roles liberal feminism does not stop her from doing that.
Liberal feminism succeeded, though not completely as there are still inequalities that exist, in liberating women within the context of a capitalist society. It roughly brought them up to the oppression level that of a man in a capitalist society. I’m not going to argue that it wasn’t a missed opportunity to bring upon a socialist revolution, it certainly was. And in hind sight was sorely needed as among other things it would have likely eliminated the chance of existence for in/femcels and the blight they bring upon the world.
Meanwhile, the movement to make women independent left a lot of men lonely, bitter, and resentful…
Honestly, that’s a problem for those men to deal with. It is also pretty obvious that a certain group of men would be bitter and resentful now that society makes it harder for them to chain down a woman.
I think people need to abandon the idea that freedom comes from independence.
This is an easy thing to say when the only people you’ve ever been dependent on were benevolent. What happens when you require support from someone that does not allow you to make you’re own decisions or respect your bodily autonomy? You also need to recognize that feminist women can, and still do, engage in loving mutually supportive relationships. The goal of liberal feminism was/is to allow women to be independent not to mandate that they are.
TBH I cannot really tell if you’re arguing that Liberal Feminism did not go far enough and should have been Socialist Feminism or that Liberal Feminism went too far by allowing a woman to live a life independent of a man.
My only exposure to the term femcel was from lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/femcelmemes which appears to be the antithesis of what this article describes. My perspective on some irl comments I’ve heard has totally changed.
Looking over at reddit for a femcelmemes equivalent it seems like r/femcelgrippysockjail is the closest but damn do they hate men over there. Yet are weirdly cool with trans women?
I’m assuming femcelmemes on blahaj.zone is ironic or just unrelated? Either way, going to steer clear of anyone who associates with that term cuz damn that’s a lot of hatred and negativity.
I don’t like the idea either. If true, it seems like the mods/community are upset they can’t feed trolls, or bully people who aren’t the “right” type of queer.
Is it safe to asume that this is why the mods have
…been planning on moving 196 to lemmy.world ASAP…

It’s actually named the District of Columbia. People also refer to it as Washington, D.C.
