Here's How The US Slowly Became A White Supremacist State Explained By A Guy On Twitter

Yes, the author is not “whining.” Minority voter suppression is real and has been independently verified, for example: https://www.propublica.org/article/why-do-nonwhite-georgia-voters-have-to-wait-in-line-for-hours-their-numbers-have-soared-and-their-polling-places-have-dwindled. ProPublica is an award-winning, non-profit organization that specializes in investigative journalism on important social issues. It was founded by former employees of the Wall Street Journal and is currently run by directors from such global companies as VMware, Akamai, Time Warner, Moderna and venture capital corporations. They are well funded and staffed by professional, degreed journalists.

Yes, some people are just jerks who like to interrupt. But it is a common experience for women to be talked over by men or to have their ideas ignored and then when a man makes the same suggestion, people pay more attention. Sexism is not a trivial first world problem.

Suicide statistics reveal that women are roughly three times more likely to attempt suicide, though men are two to four times more likely to die by suicide. Depression is usually the underlying cause. Men tend to choose more lethal methods. It is a fallacy that women's less lethal methods are "attention seeking " Mental healthcare is a serious problem and is still under reported, under treated, and still has shame sigmas associated with it. And remember, women are just posting how they FEEL about men around their lives. Don't disregard those feelings and experiences just because you don't feel or experience it yourself.

Paraphrase evil thrives when good men do nothing. There needs to be legislation (in a congress that is nearly 90% MEN) to put teeth in protection orders, make reporting crimes taken seriously (not victim shaming ie what you wore, where you were etc) and better education in treating others with respect that needs to happen where the "men" don't complain that the education is "creating weak boys and men" and finally that echo chamber in the dark web of incels, bigotry and frankly just toxic behaviors needs to be pulled out into the light and SHUT IT DOWN with penalties and consequences for that toxic behavior. But that won't happen because the men that make these rules are uncomfortable with enforcing them either because they themselves participate in these behaviors or their dear friends and families participate in them and they loathe to exact consequences on their behaviors. So it goes, SSDD same s**t, different day. Because the sad fact is this a problem, whether you see it or not

Bob, do you raise awareness of male abuse victims in general, or do you only bring it up when it's in response to women talking about their abuse? Because that seems to be a thing about talking about how we're abused, men like you stomping your feet because men are abused too. Yes, they are, try writing your own post about that. You have the freedom to raise awareness for these issues without using them to detract from this one.

So true. 90 year old women get raped. Babies, children and teens get raped. Men get raped. In most cases, it has nothing to do with sexual attraction or what she was wearing. Date rape means that he expected to get sex by taking her out. I was assaulted when I was 17, while on a date. When I said no, he got violent. I'll never forget him saying "You owe me. I spent money on you." I fought back (a 100 pound girl) and he tried to strangle me. I was able to get away from him when people heard me screaming and came to help.Then he acted like nothing happened. Date rape is a horror that I wish no one would ever have to endure. 😢

No one is saying its ALL guys are bad. But stats don't lie, and stats show the majority of violent crime is perpetrated by men, and the majority of sexual violence victims are women. Not being able to go out at night without something to protect us like a taser or a gun or mace etc 'just in case' is the norm for a lot of women. It shouldn't be. The only time I felt safe at night was when I lived in Japan, where violent crime is super low. Yes, I was aware of my surroundings, etc but I had freedom and a sense of safety. I wasn't harassed. In the US, I was harassed *during the day* in public. I dont go for walks at night any more unless my brother is with me. That's not ok. The onus shouldnt be on the weak to protect themselves. Especially since without a gun or something, there is no 'protecting myself' anyway. Even as a strong woman, most men are much stronger. I just want the freedom I had in Japan. Walking around alone at night shouldn't feel like Russian Roulette to anyone.

It is impossible to say whether something is alive or not. If a robot dog barks like a dog, thinks like a dog, and acts like a dog, and simulates pain like a dog, is it alive and is it a dog? Why is it considered that plants aren't alive but animals are? In the end they are both the same complex chemical reactions but at different scales. The only thing you can know for sure is alive yourself only, not even other people. That's why I'm pro choice.

Abortion Clinic Employee Shares How Some Pro-Life Women Act When They Come In As Customers

I agree that the different opinion on "when life begins" doesn't make you a bad person. But pushing that opinion on others does. If you think that life begins with conception? No biggie, don't have an abortion then if you consider it murder. But don't make me not have it when I personally believe differently.

Abortion Clinic Employee Shares How Some Pro-Life Women Act When They Come In As Customers

Nope. I understand where you're coming from but no. It may sound unfair that men don't have that much say in the pregnancies but the thing is that woman *always* carries more responsibility when pregnancy occurs. She's literally risking her life doing that, she puts herself out of work, it changes her life significantly more than the man's. She needs to make the decision to be pregnant (or not) herself. In this case, it's pure biology difference. If a man doesn't want a child then he should do as much as he can to not get into that situation - always use a condom, if he doesn't want them ever, get sterilized. And I know that accidents can happen either way but that's the way with sex. Do as much as you can to prevent pregnancy if you don't want it and be prepared to carry the consequences if it does anyway. The responsibility of creating a child is 50:50.

Physician-assisted suicide is legal in nine US states and the District of Columbia. It is an option given to individuals by law in the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey, Oregon, Vermont and Washington. It is an option given to individuals in Montana and California via court decision. Individuals must have a terminal illness as well as a prognosis of six months or less to live. Physicians cannot be prosecuted for prescribing medications to hasten death.

Never an accessory, but certainly safe from sexual assault, and always willing to verbally shut down unwanted attention from roving men feeling entitled to that damn "target rich environment " . Love hanging out with my gay friends, sickened by your assertion of "accessory"!! They are dear people to me, who you hanging with to disrespect yourself like that?

That's some karma there! He was overwhelmed being a single parent and thought she would change her mind then became upset that she kept her word about not wanting the child at all. But he did and boo hoo his life is hard now!

Women Open Up About Their Abortion Stories With The Hashtag #YouKnowMe As Response To Alabama Abortion Law

In Quebec "The decision to either continue a pregnancy or get an abortion is personal. This decision belongs to the woman; she is free to make her choice according to her desires and circumstances. There are many reasons why a woman might decide to get an abortion. The reasons are specific to each woman, and belong to her. Personnel delivering abortion services respect each woman’s decision without passing judgement. They provide abortion services and follow-up neutrally, respectfully and with complete confidentiality. "

Women Open Up About Their Abortion Stories With The Hashtag #YouKnowMe As Response To Alabama Abortion Law

What's absolutely amazing to me is a man can just pick up and walk away from a pregnant woman without looking back, but that woman needs to carry that child to term... her body needs to go through the changes of pregnancy, and then her body needs to go through the trauma of birth or a c-section. Men never seem to be held accountable here. Where are the laws charging them with child abandonment or neglect? Why don't we start there? We are living in a country right now that doesn't give a shit about mental health. If a woman is raped and becomes pregnant, every day she carries that child, every pound she gains, every kick she feels... every second is a CONSTANT reminder of that rape. How is that woman ever supposed to recover? I am DISGUSTED where this country is headed. If a person doesn't agree with abortion, no one is forcing them to have one, but DO NOT TAKE THE RIGHT AWAY FROM A WOMAN WHO WANTS OR NEEDS ONE. End. Of. Story.

It is there all day AND night, something mothers understand since they are the one ( most often, there are some husbands that do help) get up during the night to deal with the child who has woken up from feeding them as an infant to waiting up until they come home from a late night outing.

How do you know if these two people never were depressed? Did you medically interview them? Depression had been(and still is) culturally given negative attitudes whereas if you are or it is noted in the family, no one talks about it never mind acknowledging its existence.

The Real Causes Of Depression Have Been Discovered, And They’re Not What You Think

These findings have been published in over 70 major medical and public health journals. One of the many doctors involved in this study was Dr Felillti who was referenced in this article. It annoys me that a doctor that has been in practice for more years than some of the people posting idiotic comments have been alive, a WORLD KNOWN EXPERT on childhood trauma is derided as "just an internist ", head of Department of Preventive Medicine, which by the way, provided medical evaluations for OVER 1.1 million patients.
