But do the drivers speak English? /s

I can’t afford to eat at McDonald’s, even if I wanted to.

I agree with comments on how he is still rich as fuck but he did earn 77mil in 2020 and now he’s down to 10mil.

Boycotts are working.

I don’t mind being shot standing up for what’s right, but I don’t want to be shot in the ass.

Terry Crews was sexually assaulted by the head of a Hollywood talent agency while at a party in 2016.

Initially, he was embarrassed and angry. He didn’t want to talk about it, but after talking to his wife and seeing what the Weinstein accusers were doing, he decided to speak up about it. Seems that he wanted men to know to know it can happen to them too and to not be afraid to speak up.

I think it’s really important for other men (and other genders) to see that. Maybe more people will be brave enough to speak out too.

First of all, the Washington Examiner is a right-wing news outlet. They have a bias in there reporting and it shows.

Second, the number of sexual assaults on campus is likely significantly higher according to more recent information.

Last, if someone assaults a person who doesn’t believe they were assaulted, does that count?

Ever had sex while less than stone cold sober (keep in mind the entirety of the surveyed considered to arrive at this figure were college students)? Survey says you were raped. Doesn’t matter if you were just tipsy, doesn’t matter if you and your partner were equally drunk, doesn’t matter whether you think you were raped/assaulted, nope, we decided you were.

What is that person had passed out drunk and doesn’t remember it? Is it rape now? What if that person has a learning disability or communication disability? Do you think that’s rape?

My point here is that something can be true if the person isn’t aware of it. I presume people are also more likely to say they’ve received unwanted physical interactions than to say they were raped.

You know, society used to think you couldn’t rape your wife either.

You’re absolutely right about sexual assault against men. I thought what Terry Crews did was heroic. Even when he didn’t want to speak out, he knew he needed to be a leader and he spoke up.

I didn’t leave it out from a lack of concern. I was just making a point by how unsafe women feel in every aspect of their lives, not just occasionally in a Reddit forum.

Trans people, especially black trans people, are targeted in at a whole other level and are often ignored in reporting. They don’t deserve that.

Crazy that we all can’t just respect each others right to live.

I know a lot of guys in the comments are saying they don’t see it so they don’t have the opportunity to call it out. And some of those guys are making good points! These communities probably don’t interact much with men that treat women with respect.

But I also wonder how much of that stuff happens and they don’t realize it’s harmful to women. Obviously sharing photos isn’t okay so that’s an easy one to call out.

It’s not a man’s fault that he doesn’t see it, necessarily. You don’t have the same experiences as women and it just doesn’t occur to you as often. Women are on alert 24/7.

Kinda like that thing about the number of guys who feel safe walking to their car at night vs the number of women. (I know some men are anxious in that scenario too, but nearly ALL women are.)

When I was an elementary school aged kid, I was afraid to play outside at my grandmas house because a man drove by yelling cat calls. This actually happened a couple times growing up.

At 14, a random man followed me home from school.

In my college there was a flyer in the restroom about how something like 1 in 6 women will experience sexual assault or rape. But really that’s just the number reported.

Every single woman I know has experienced sexual assault or rape of some kind. (I didn’t ask my coworkers to be fair).

That’s bonkers.

But I do appreciate those of you that are trying to be better! The comments here are reassuring and give hope for the future!

I think about this quote daily as I read the news.

Veep stopped making episodes because he’ll headlines in the 1st Trump administration were crazier than what they could write.

I just check email all day. Like that’s 80% of my job. My entire job could be done from anywhere. I don’t do as single thing that isn’t in my laptop. But I still sit at a stupid cubicle.

Damn you’re right. We have been outsourcing more work to Accenture.

My office transition from WFH to Hybrid. A lot of people quit over the last year. We’re severely understaffed and we have had trouble hiring.

We had our worst internal survey results for the entire 10 years of my employment.

Management doesn’t seem to correlate the RTO rules as the problem though. 🙃

I’ve been trying to quit too, but I haven’t be able yo find a job yet (i was trying to change careers)

And yet the stock is up in after hours trading. So fucking dumb

Yup. Duh. Studies show that when tariffs cause foreign product prices to rise, rather than leaving their prices the same, US brands raise theirs to match because they don’t want their product to seem cheaply made. (But also price gouging)

I tried to find the video I watched about it, but I watched it pre-US Election. The internet is flooded with more recent tariff videos.

I think it was by Vox Media and it was specifically about tariffs or inflation, more generally.

No. Stop treating people like livestock.

I suspect if they did, they’d be in trouble for defrauding investors.

But do laws even apply anymore?

Agreed! But for me it’s not all that often, luckily.

I don’t recall where it came from. I definitely read it somewhere and didn’t come up with it on my own. Probably here on Lemmy or on Reddit before that! It was the first example I saw that was able to articulate why it doesn’t feel right to say “female” as a noun when referring to a person.

Funny you say that! He doesn’t do it anymore but I just sent him this meme from !tenforward@lemmy.world!
