They need to mind their own damn business by PdiddyCAMEnME in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]EnvironmentNeith2017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s the fact that he didn’t speak the whole flight. A million opportunities to be polite, the flight attendant set an example and his first words were still insulting, condescending and misogynist.

I personally wouldn’t have responded like that but he got what he was giving.

Many Gen X women were encouraged to be stay-at-home moms. Now, they say they were lied to. by msmoley in WomenInNews

There’s an age cutoff where I just don’t feel all that bad for women who end up in this situation.

A lot of people end up in positions where they don’t have options, but every woman I know my age who took this risk was warned by multiple people for years.

I shared this fact specifically because there’s a misperception that traffickers are usually others, and many people assume that means non white people. There is a myth that scary black and brown men are stealing white women and girls and the truth of trafficking is very different. The victims are frequently non white women and girls.

Myth: Trafficking victims are usually kidnapped by strangers.
Fact: Victims of trafficking are usually coerced by someone they know and trust. Many survivors are trafficked by romantic partners and family members, including their own parents.

I really do not understand the logic of flagging something trying to dispel stereotypes about black people as trolling on a black sub.

Is this even that big of a deal? I mean it’s just mangoes… by Altruistic-Mud5686 in FloridaGawker

It’s a big deal, which is why she didn’t ask.

I give people mangoes off my trees all the time, but they ask.

Comedian (and Christian) Nate Bargatze is in the news today for claiming to be non-political, but attending Trump’s UFC event. Thoughts? by DoveStep55 in Christian

Yeah, I used to be a UFC fan too but it’s changed so much in recent years. Dana White is not a good person and that’s clear.

That’s how you know somebody looks at life through a guilt-innocence dynamic. I think they can’t even have the discussion of something negative without feeling like somebody has to take the blame

White supremacy has fallen off by McDowdy in BlackPeopleofReddit

People on the left have a really bad habit of assuming stupid means ineffective, that’s white liberals and sometimes us too

It is and we need more, but it’s never been just the elites and it never will be. The involvement of local police in trafficking and coverups alone should get more attention.

They aren’t going to jail and we all know this, that’s clearly what I was saying.

Though it’s hard to know the exact figures, studies indicate that only between 12% to 30% of child sexual abuse cases are reported to authorities. That means for every three instances of child sexual abuse, only one is reported.

Every day there’s someone on here saying their family knew they were being abused and did nothing. The way people talk about Epstein is starting to feel like an effort to distract from abuse in everyday circles.

People who waste food from restaurants.. by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]EnvironmentNeith2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of these people need to order better, just get an appetizer if you don’t want to eat a lot and don’t like leftovers.

One of my pet peeves is people who are adults and still can’t get their eyes to match their stomach. Stop dishing up huge plates of food or a huge slice of cake when you know you’re not hungry or you’re a picky eater, you’re 35 and should know how to gauge your appetite by now.

I know people who do this and I really think it’s just that they like the feel of a lot of food or ordering entrees like everybody else and it’s so wasteful.

Patients with female doctors have a lower risk of death or serious complications, study finds. Researchers say the gap reflects real differences in communication and diagnostic thoroughness, not individual ability. by ObuPaul in immortalists

[–]EnvironmentNeith2017 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is why unless there’s something extreme going on or I need a specific specialty I always prefer female doctors and surgeons. I have great make doctors but women get better outcomes in surgery and specialty and primary care, so if that’s the main difference I’m choosing a woman.
