Hey Pandas, What Social Stigma does Society Need To Get Over?

This applies to people who already have children too, just because I have one doesn't mean it's possible to have another so it would be nice if people would stop telling me I'm selfish for not giving my daughter a sibling.

Live and let live

Right! 🙂👍I hated all the office-partys, workshops and weird "survival" trips for team bonding. It's just an excuse to party and get drunk. Maybe I'm weird, but I really enjoy "my" time and my hobbies ...

How can I upvote this more than once?

My wife asked me if I wanted to go to a mutual friends house for New Year. I like hanging out with her but have nothing in common with her husband or his friends. I told her I would rather have a full frontal lobotomy than go. Apparently that was the wrong answer

I'm what most would consider to be an extrovert and I still find enforced team bonding events excruciating.... F off I just work here and then I wanna go home and read.

I’m happy doing my thing (that doesn’t include loud - crowded- drunk/high -- argumentative, aggressive strangers ) Why can’t I just be left alone to listen to music while reading & cuddling the cat ?

I had to breastfeed my daughter on a first date with my future husband! He didn't care and we all continued talking, my oldest son explaining how breastfeeding works to him. LOL. But we were in a restaurant and I did use a blanket.

I cannot BELIEVE that we’re still having this conversation!! For gods sake, my kids are in their 30’s & bo*bs are STILL an object of fear & horror! Arrggghhhh!🧟‍♂️

I never fed my son in the bathroom at restaurants I did bring a small blanket that I draped over us.

But no one cares except those who make a big deal out of it for attention and mommy points.

However the right to bodily autonomy does not mean that you are exempt from the consequences of public health measures. You can choose not to be vaccinated or treated for a communicable disease but you don't have the right to then knowingly make other people stuck.

Cannot upvote enough

SAY. IT. LOUDER.

You sound like the kindest parent. 😄

A huge part is the way it gets presented. You have Hollywood for example pushing the topic down people's throat and call everybody a bigot if they feel negativley about a movie or show even if it has nothing to do with the LGBQT topic in it. Or beloved IPs that get wrecked in the name of support. It's not really hard to see where the recent rejection about LGBT comes from. (My observation, personally I don't care if somebody is LGBQTIA as long as they are nice persons to be around)

People can do whatever they want. It’s when you demand forced thought and speech, that’s the issue. I respect your right to live how you want, respect my right to now join in the delusion

There are 2 sexes, that’s it Male and Female. People want to make up c**p to compensate why they feel different. You can not convince me a 5 year old knows they’re trans or bi or fluid, they don’t even know what sex is. If a parent allows a kid to be anything other than a boy or girl,that’s child abuse. You don’t know you’re gay till you’re a grown not when youre5

It please me the past several years to see second hand shopping becoming more trendy and acceptable. I can recall a time in the early 70s being teased in school because my mom bought me used pants that were a little bit high water. Step dad ditched her for a younger woman, single mom struggling to make ends meet, did the best she could to provide for me. She's dead now but some days I wish I could go back and thank her when adult me sees how hard she was trying.

Some people driving older cars, shopping at discount and thrift stores, not spending money on tech items find it more important to save money than to be flashy. I work at a bank and know several people who look poor but have hundreds of thousands socked away and help their families, charities, etc. I also know a LOT of people who like to look and act rich and flashy with high end cars and clothes and gear…..these are most often the people who overdraft their accounts regularly and have terrible credit because they are living so far beyond their means it’s not sustainable. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover. And just treat everyone kindly. There is no reason not to.

Maybe the person would rather her family have clean hand-me-downs AND sufficient food. Personally, I was haunting "junk stores' with my aunts and my mother when I was four! Bought my first piece of Haviland China at age six! And, you could always find something unusual to wear... of just a helluva bargain! My children have both spent time in Goodwill, Salvation Army, & random thrift store clothes. Of course, they always helped pick them out. When a garment hasn't been worn for a long while or been outgrown, we always donate to a thrift store. Some of my most treasured keepsakes have come from "junk stores." We always try to find one on vacation! My daughterr and her family are following tradition. And, round and round we go... just trying to waste as little as possible.

Honestly (and this could just be because I don't spend a lot of time around lots of people, especially judgemental a-holes) I find that people are too busy working about how everyone is judging THEIR clothes/style/everyone to actually be judging others. Maybe this is just a rich person thing? Laughing at poor people?

People don't want to understand how prevalent physical and sexual abuse is. Rather than get a dose of reality they prefer to blame the victim and say things like 'it wasn't like this in my day' - newsflash - it was!

This one makes the least sense. Shouldn’t the person who caused so much trauma to another person be shamed?

In the United States, this is true in conservatives states. I can't live in half of our states because I'll be subjected to laws based on twisted interpretation of the bible.

From my experience that's a valid and accepted statement here in Germany
