That is how many cis men think, and we are talking about her risk going into a space where there frequently won't be any other witnesses.
It is not a weird thing to say, it is a relevant point.
Even if you trade in, you aren't leaving with a different car without a higher monthly payment unless you take a major downgrade in automobile. A lot of people can't afford a higher payment right now.
Not who you asked, but I would happily give anyone the benefit of the doubt about having any sense of who Musk really is who bought their car before Musk bought twitter in 2023.
I know several people who are struggling who bought used Teslas so they could use them for Uber gigs.
You can argue that was not a smart idea and I'd agree. But vulnerable people are just people, and people are not always effective strategists.
I'm not up for punishing individuals, especially those who may have bought their cars well before Musk even bought twitter.
Well. Cybertrucks have only been out since his mask was off. I'm less concerned about vandalizing those.
To all those saying, "but why shouldn't men want to be cared for?"
This meme plays into a narrative the makes women subservient.
It suggests that only men "battle", and that being a man and "battling" entities them to care by women.
No where in this is acknowledgement that women have burdens too, and that all people benefit from care.
No where in this is any hint of reciprocity. If anything, it implies that the "joy" of taking care of "her man" should be enough.
No. Walk the fuck on. Having a penis doesn't entitle you to one-sided care.
The other thing implied by this - that women should 'naturally' be able to fix 'her man'. But if a woman in broken? Oof - 'she has Daddy issues' and better fix herself, right?
And what if a woman tries to fix 'her man' and fails? Oh look - isnt that convenient - society just took all his faults and made them her failures. Wow! Who wouldn't want to sign up for that??
And just look at that success rate. You can count up the number of women killed by intimate partners and see how great this plan is.
Society really needs to get past this childish narrative that tells men they should expect to find a manic pixie dream girl who lives only to make him happy. Men make fun of girls for believing in Prince Charming, but this is truly the more destructive fairy tale.
Unfortunately, research on prisoners and concentration camp victims did produce new valuable medical information.
Most of the field of gynecology is based on experiments done on women slaves, where the "doctors" decided their victims conveniently didn't have nerve endings.
Ethics throttles research.
But I am aghast at the thought that we should permit unethical research in the pursuit of, at the end of the day, greed.
And I say this as a professional scientist.
I can't believe this conversation is even necessary.
"Why do Unions have to be considered Left?"
Tell me you have no idea about the history of labor rights without telling me...
The median zoomer can probably talk about it far more accurately than the median gen x-er or boomer
Ok. Before you get mad. Do you think you are a normal representative of your age group?
If you walk into a room of people you don't know but who are all likely born within +/-5yrs of you, would you expect to be able to talk about crypto with any sophistication and at least half would be able to follow?
If not, then the generalization is true even if it doesn't apply to you specifically.
Dude is going to flip if he ever watches Miracle on 34th Street.
The litterbox thing is so outrageous that it gives their tyrannical proposals the vineer of addressing a real problem.
But the litterbox story was fabricated, and the only grain of truth of it is that some classrooms did keep kitty litter as a mitigation against being trapped by an active shooter - another conservative-created problem.
They will continue to glom onto outrageous stories, to justify their outrageously oppressive proposals.
I've seen my coworkers take paternity leave, which I think is like 8 weeks where I work.
Generally, they've staggered it with their spouse so that one parent is working and the other on child care, rather than both being out over the same window. Typically the Dad's have taken their leave a couple months after the baby is born when Mom is returning to work. It keeps the baby out of daycare for as long as possible.
Ohhhh thank goodness.
Ok, then it's just algorithm weirdness that I was shown the lower-voted post first. Phew!!
All of your responses are non-sequitors to my points and your initial argument.
- I googled if Gaza has refugee camps that are safe from Israeli attack, because that is counter to 15mo of news. Do you have a source? That is somehow more credible than dozens of international news articles and experts saying "no where in Gaza is safe"? Story after story of Gazans following evacuation routes directed by the IDF that the IDF then attack.
- For the sake of argument, let's say that there are refugee camps that are safe. As you say - there are millions of Gazans. They all need to be safe. They all need access to safety because they are human beings.
- What is your point about '100,000 Gazans safe in other countries'? I think you mean that there are 'enough' outside that it is 'ok' to exterminate the ones still trapped in Gaza because their 'lineage' is preserved.
Humans are not a variety of carrot. We don't say it's ok to kill some percentage of a people just as long as we don't kill them all. Hitler could have said it was ok to kill all the Jews in Europe because there are 'enough' in the US. It would still have been wrong to kill any Jews in Europe for being Jewish, just as it is wrong for Israel to attack Palestinian civilians for being Palestinian.
Every person has a right to their own individual life that should not be taken by any state because they are the wrong ethnicity in the wrong place. Genocide is wrong at the scale of individual people.
That is the heart of human rights, and you misunderstand that at your own peril.
"The Gazans should topple Hamas" idea is tantamount to the old "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" idea. Gazans do not even have homes, or food, do you think they have any other internal structure they can pull on to coordinate anything?
Do you know who has kept Hamas in power? Who has refused any deal that involves any other ready group like the PA from taking the reigns? Who would absolutely kill any upstart organization? Israel.
At this point, Hamas is a puppet boogie man that conservative Israelis have to prop up because Hamas is their "slaughter Gazans for free" card.
Uhhh... (Checks history)
Europe actually appears to have been quite involved in the creation of the current state of Israel, and by that token, the stateless position of the Palestinians.
The state of the land, which is the cause of the war, is actually very much due to European decisions.
I feel like these scientists need to keep their mouths shut.
If the Trump admin finds out about this, the next executive order will be something that requires CFCs to be put back into American appliances and aerosols because he hates any accomplishment academics have ever had.
