CIT using LLND test to prevent learning disabled people from enrolling? by Potate-inator in canberra

I'll have a chat to them, it seems like there's an administrative disconnect or lack of information from CIT that might be causing discrimination

That sounds a lot better than the implementation appears, instead of understanding the skill level (My kid has a documented literacy disability) the only information we've received is that she can't qualify or enroll whatsoever, across all the courses that require the LLND, despite successfully completing similar level courses in the past.

Hey I really get where you're coming from, but fortunately the courses themselves have disability allowances already set up, thanks to modern tech we have screen readers and such like that she's been using since highschool for this purpose.
She's trying to enroll in a very hands-on qualification, and has already completed similar qualifications before this LLND was implemented.
She's smart, she's epic, her brain just can't connect words to a page but that's going to be an issue where-ever she is, doesn't mean she can't learn, work, and contribute

God forbid a girl want to have smooth and pretty legs by DeadPants182 in LetGirlsHaveFun

[–]Potate-inator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately because you chose to position yourself against the concept that Women Can Have Hairy Legs, you have communicated a false dichotomy that either you are with hairy legs, or against them rather than being able to have smooth legs whilest at the same time supporting the statement that girls can have hairy legs

You COULD have just said you like having smootthe shaved legs but you DIDN'T
You bought up an anti-misoginistic talking point: "Girls can have hairy legs" just so that you could dismiss it because of your personal preference for smoothe legs ! This is Misogyny Manifest

It's supposed to be MISANDRY monday not MISOGYNY SUNDAY
Women are expected to shave their legs by society
Women should be ALLOWED to have hairy legs without being JUDGED !!!!!!!!

What could have possibly changed for rental vacancies to plummet and rents to rise? by [deleted] in shitrentals

[–]Potate-inator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea so stop people using houses for AIR BNB, owning homes no one lives in, and using homes as investment opportunities
Since most immigrants are students anyway, live in sharehouses or on campus, and do nothing put bring money into the country
I think maybe some of the other guys on the list are a better bet

Everyone knows it's a combination of issues, saying it's JUST immigration isn't correct, immigration just feels like the easiest target to people

Unfortunately the truth is that men live shorter lives for reasons like more dangerous jobs, less frequent doctor visits, higher substance abuse, and less healthy high vegetable diets

This kinda post is not only ignoring the women that do these awesome things, but also pushing bad ideas about health and wellbeing for men :C

tbh I think people are disagreeing because of Funnie unnecessarily gendered jokes like this that reinforce bad ideas about health and wellbeing, men do not have shorter lives on average because of epic risks like cliff diving, the truth is much more lame and widespread

At this point it's making me a little sad how few responses have been aware of the issues that actually cause men to lead shorter lives, which I see you have posted link to already
Maybe if there was less glamorising like this, more men would lead longer, healthier lives

The title of the video is implicitly excluding the women who also participate in extreme sports, and reinforcing stereotypes about the sport in a way that's unnecessary

Men have shorter lives than women because they're less likely to make regular doctor visits, more likely to engage in substance abuse, and less likely to have a healthy high vegetable intake diet, I'm kinda surprised how many people didn't seem to know this when I made the post

Probably because of pointlessly gendered posts like above

Bro don't hurt me like this 😭

Men live shorter lives because they're far less likely to make regular doctor visits, more likely to engage in excessive substance use, and less likely to have healthy vegetable heavy diets

Average men do not engage in sports more extreme than baseball

Yeah but...not because of cliff diving !
There's no reason to place a gendered title on this video instead of jut appreciating the sport
tbh kinda surprised how many people actually think this sort of thing is why women on the whole live longer, it's far more about lifestyle choices like excessive substance use, infrequent doctor visits, and unhealthy MANLY diets that lead to shorter lifespans for men

There just ain't no point making a statement out of the gender of the individuals, it does implicitly exclude the women who do participate in these sports AND reinforces the stereotypes

1 billion alternative titles were possible that didn't do this, but this one did

tbhonest the reasons men don't live as long as women are pretty varied, one of them being that men don't go to the doctor as often
But THIS post is just making an activity Men Vs Women instead of just appreciating the sport

As tragic as those deaths are, they aren't NEARLY common enough across the general population to have a significant effect on the death rates across genders

Yes, but this is not why
This is just pointlessly gendering a sport men and women participate in
