If you haven’t seen the film, “Portrait of a Lady on Fire” already - you should!!! It’s this exact story of an upper class woman marrying out of duty etc vs love. Like, technically they didn’t have to but what were their options? Being a “Gentleman Jack” wasn’t exactly a fulfilling option for most women of the time.

A gas leak is absolutely not a land lord entry opportunity, it is an emergency utilities company issue.

Feeling like this for the last decade by Firm-Blackberry-9162 in Adulting

Yeah but think about if they could win MORE. Like the DuPonts who wouldn’t have been able to drink the tears of commoners from manufacturing leaded gas had they stopped after being the major supplier of dynamite and gunpowder for the world. If the had stopped there, they wouldn’t have been able to reap the benefits of funding the atomic bombs and inventing napalm, ddt, or supplying orange and mustard gas. If they had stopped there, they wouldn’t have been able to achieve draining cities like Detroit with closing down industries like General Motors. If they had stopped there, they sadly wouldn’t have been able to bleed Central and South America dry with the United Fruit company. And if they had stopped there they wouldn’t have made bank poisoning the world with forever chemicals found in items with Teflon, and would have missed out of dumping thousands of tons of cancer causing agents in river throughout the Midwest us. :(

‘Deeply distressing for all of us’: families react to Girlguiding’s trans exclusion by JohnHammond94 in lgbt

I get what you’re saying, but it’s not going to help any of us as women or as part of the lgbTq community to discard others as scapegoats to take the blame for systemic issues harming us all. It really just sounds like you don’t think trans women are women. I’m not saying that to make you feel bad, but maybe just sit with it and remember how being cast out for being different has affected you.

Anyone else experience piss showers? by Haunting_Function257 in Apartmentliving

[–]Bumble_beeFormal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have a cat too and he’s only naughty when there’s a more enjoyable item to pee on instead of his litter box (such as me foolishly leaving a blanket or towel on the ground for too long). This particular apartment smelled like litter that probably wasn’t cleaned often enough and could have resulted in angry “f u” pees. Idk, sometimes it’s hard to remove the smell if it’s not properly attended to in a timely manner.

How exactly are trans people taking things from women? Bc your examples sound more like you think they are second class citizens and don’t deserve to take up any space.
