35 Posts Calling Out Social Norms That Should No Longer Be Accepted

This is why I don't get women support Republican leadership. They want to subjugate women. It would be like men supporting The Democrats for castration of males.

The US is in desperate need of getting into the new millennium. Women where I live have complete and irrevocable body-autonomy. What is happening in the US, currently, is not that far from what is happening in Afghanistan under the Taliban.

I was hoping to see an end to that before I die, you know, in about 20-30 years (I'm only 60+).

I’m not an American, and I think this is atrocious. What I find interesting is the emphasis on the “right to life“… but only until the second you are born and then you’re charged a fortune in medical fees if anything is wrong. It works nicely for commercialism. Very sad.

It should be a law that women can make the appointment, no questions asked

But what were they wearing? /s

This happens to me too often. It's hard for me to speak up. When I do it's because there's a real injustice going on. Plus, I would want someone to stand by me, too, so I stand up for people.

This, this, this, this, this..

Whistleblowers have this same issue which is also shocking. For some reason our society seems to look down on what they deem as complainers or tattletales way, way more than the than the person/group/company that's up to malfeasance.

Uk justice system in a nutshell, Yes he looked at Class A pictures of children but puting him in jail means he will lose his job.. Judge: Ok lets just tell him to attend 5 therapy sessions.. Thanks Kier Starmer..

I'm aging like wine. And cheese.

It's inevitable. You can make it look like you're aging slower but your body on the inside will go the pace it's supposed to.

I'm 52, I keep reminding myself it's OK not to look 20. It's perfectly normal for me not to look 20. Why is looking 20 some kind of achievement anyway? I've been through some sh!t in my life, why is society still expecting me to look "fresh" ??

Yes, please. I'm almost 46 y.o. and I really look forward to getting older. I'm curious to see how my face changes. And I prefer older women (and men) cause I like wrinkles a lot. They tell a story, make them very interesting and individual and they make peoples' faces beautiful.

Aging is normal, the most normal thing there is...

Tipping should be a consumer choice, not compulsory company policy.

I always used to overtip, everywhere when i was younger. But the entitlement of so many, expecting a 20/25/30% (or more!) fee for literal seconds to at most minutes of interaction is delusional. You're hitting buttons on a register or carrying food that someone else prepared. I'm not going to buy into the notion that you "deserve" $150 an hour for doing it.

When I have been in the US, I have got the feeling that tipping is effectively bribing someone in order to recieve decent service. Where I live, fortunately there is a minimun wage, and tipping (though uncommon) is considered a reward for above average service.

Funny that only this specifies a country.

This is a real struggle here. So, you can't just not tip until you know the staff is paid a livable wage. So, people not tipping are also part of the problem.

Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority” and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person” and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay. - stimmyabby on Tumblr

An a*****e is an a*****e regardless of age. I have met many young a*****es

A stupid old man was a stupid young man .....

Show respect and you'll receive respect. It's a two way street. And not all elders are wise. Some are just bitter,old and stupid. I'm 64 by the way.

Just because someone is older doesn't mean they've earned more respect than anyone else. I respect everyone until they prove they don't deserve it. Old f***s tend to prove faster than they're selfish, entitled, and out of date.

I’m in Ireland and Work for an American company. I find some of the cultural differences around holidays insane. Thankfully, I am legally required to take X amount of days off per year. We introduced limitless holidays in the US a few years ago. it was well known that people take less time off when this is in place. I seen a meme a few years ago that really summed it up. And American says to his boss that he is having a kidney transplant in the morning and will be back in the afternoon. European tells his boss he will be out for a month. Work to live, don’t live to work.

When I earned my law degree I decided I wouldn't pursue this sort of fast track, mostly for my mental health. I also had a bit of family money (think $1,000/month and a very generous rental - under $500/month in Austin, TX.) I went to work for the Texas Employment Commission and worked from 9-5. My salary, sadly, reflected this choice.

Depends on the job. Most teachers work more than the assigned hours, but it has nothing to do with any hustle.

"Influencers". 🫤

Unsubscribe. Every like gives these oxygen (and money, apparently)

That's definitely not a social norm, but I think it might say more about who you hang out with, if you think it is.

Especially when they share how many pounds their baby shat, in which position, and what was done with the product that has been shat by the bany; all for the laughs.

Or being made fun of for having emotions in the first place. When I was eight, I was really stressed out because my dad was being abusive. I curled up in the corner and cried. My dad walked in the room and took a video of me crying, then posted it on social media for everyone else to see. I'm not sure if it was taken down. My dad has continued to tear my entire family apart, even though my parents are divorced. I don't wish he was dead, I'm just saying everything will be better when he's gone. At this point, I don't know what to do with my life and I'm honestly feeling suicidal again but I can't tell anybody I know because then they'll just toss me back into another mental hospital. Help me.

Cant upvote this enough

Brit here whose family mantra was "Never let the neighbours know" and "Stiff upper lip" (older parents). I rarely show emotion. The issue is more with the EXPECTATION that men can not have emotions and then shaming them when they do. Don't force me to be demonstrative and I won't laugh at your weeping.
