Missouri State government is so awful.
Vote for sick leave passes, state government shoots it down.
Vote for abortion rights passes, same deal.
We have politicians openly going against the will of the people as certified by majority vote and I’m so damn frustrated I don’t know what more I can do. I normally like to start with sensible options but we can’t even get what we want by voting for it!
Sun’s out, buns out - let those cheeks tan!
Excellent example, and I sincerely appreciate you engaging in good faith discussion!
I agree that being masculine should by default not be a barrier - social or otherwise - from working with children.
How do we begin to change that as a society?
Although I can’t think of the solution myself, I also don’t see how advancing equality for feminine individuals would hold back equality for masculine individuals.
As mentioned in another comment, a lot of these problems seem to stem from the enforcement of dated gender norms.
I do believe that this is essentially another symptom of a wider problem related to gender roles.
Certainly agree with you there and I really appreciate your nuanced take.
I think many miss the greater overarching message that forcing gender roles only serves to hold us back as a human race.
positions like nurses or teachers are very female dominated.
I’m sure it varies from country to country, but in the US women could not study medicine until the late 1800’s and the US Army did not allow female physicians until 1940.
It’s not unlikely to think we have many people today who were alive before women practicing as physicians was common place.
I’m convinced it’s less of a matter of a group “dominating” a space but rather being pigeonholed/forced into it due to a lack of options, and these circumstances have impact that are still felt to this day.
I’m not sure about Italy but in a lot of the US becoming a school teacher requires a college degree and has wages that do not keep up with the cost of living.
You can look up articles of teachers losing their jobs for doing sex work or provocative modeling to earn extra income because their job does not pay enough.
Doesn’t seem like that big of a win? Unless I’m missing something?
Edit: re-read your reply and realized I did not read it properly the first time. That’ll teach me to comment in the wee hours LOL. I greatly appreciate your response! Leaving the original reply in place for the sake of context.
I only see women being pushed into places with traditionally male majority, but not men being pushed into places with traditional female majority
Genuinely curious, got any examples of “traditional female majority places” that masculine individuals cannot enter/participate in?
You’re beautiful and will only get more stunning with time!
It’s not easy, but you’re doing it and we’re proud of you <3
I would think and hope that, but evidence tends to point to the contrary.
A quick search brings up multiple articles including:
Guess those EULAS we all agreed to but never read had some sneaky language about what they can do with the data.
If I had to guess, obtaining the data by force may require a court order or legal process.
Buying data that someone else is willingly selling bypasses those steps.
Your thought process makes sense and your effort to change when asked is appreciated =)
I got curious so I did some searching:
Wyman divorced Reagan in 1949, Reagan married Nancy Davis in 1952
So not entirely accurate to say he divorced his first wife to marry another (by some accounts, Wyman divorced him and moved on).
That being said, fuck Reagan all the same.
I took Spanish-for-Spanish-Speakers in public school so my experience may be different.
“Spanish-Spanish” (Castillian-Spanish, Castellano) is pretty easy universally understood and accepted as a “proper” Spanish. It seemed to work well despite our mixed nationalities in the class (Cuban, Dominican, Puerto Rican, Colombian, Venezuelan, Nicaraguan, and a few more but those are first that came to mind.)
Hispanic here, I grew up using “gringo” specifically for people from the U.S. despite skin tone.
Canadians are “Canadiense”, English are “Ingles” but United States? “Estadounidense”? It’s sort of like saying “United Statian” but arguably more “correct/proper”
Gringo is just much faster/easier to say.
That being said this can vary a little from one Latin-American country to another.
As much as I want to believe they subtly put the trans flag in there, shades of blue/green and pink are in line with Floridian aesthetics, which is probably what they were going for.
Just taking a guess though.
I would imagine it’s a multi-part solution:
You either are jumped in and prove yourself to be tough enough to roll with them, or you can’t tough it out but they’ve already beat you to a pulp once so ideally they’ve made their point and intimidated you out of speaking against them/talking to cops or trying out for rivals.
Full disclosure: I don’t have experience in this and am mostly speculating.
I also picked it back up in Season 4 and have been having a lot of fun. Full disclosure didn’t play heavily beforehand, life got in the way.
My mom shared with me “GMC: Grande, malo, y caro”
“Big, bad (read: poorly made), and expensive.”
I’m out of the loop personally but it wouldn’t surprise me given how many things we’ve seen make unexpected comebacks.
The “can’t do anything” factor is what makes it appealing to so many schools and businesses who issue these machines. Cheap and less likely to have a software headache created for IT to solve.
If clothes are too big of a hurdle perhaps start with smaller steps?
Try a little lip gloss with a shine, a little nail polish, shave something you normally don’t, whatever feels right for YOU!
My best advice without knowing more is to experiment small, let yourself work your way up at your own pace.
The good news is there are no wrong answers here, let yourself explore and try to have as much fun as you can along the way.
Here for you if you want to talk <3
