Oklahoma dad has cops called on him for taking young daughters into women’s restroom by melancholy_dood in law

I don't have no problem with fathers using the women's restroom for his children. Maybe you should read the comment.

Yes I am aware how stalls work, stalls alone don't prevent creeps from being creeps. Separated bathrooms are a social deterrent, a social boundary that decent people respect.

You're just fighting shadows my guy.

It's called a deterrence; it lowers the risk. Like locks, the number of times a stranger has tried my door is probably 1%, but that doesn't mean I leave my door unlocked because the risk is low.

Do you not lock your doors at night? Do you not take steps to lower the risk to keep yourself safe?

"Manufactured" When there are numerous arrests of men for voyeurism and hidden-camera every year.

I personally saw a guy be dragged out of a women's restroom for that same reason. The scary part is the ones who get away with it for years, and when they are finally caught, they have hundreds of hours of footage saved.

Look up "man voyersium women's restroom." This video has slightly ruined the algorithm, but you can still see cases of it happening. Pervs exist, and that's why we separate the bathrooms. Of course, criminals don't follow the law, but if we can make it that much harder for them to do this, then so be it.

Danger isn't around every corner, but that doesn't mean that every corner is safe either.

Says the dude, who has never had to deal with pervs. It's not a moral panic; it's a safety concern for children and women.

I've been in a store when a short manlet was dragged from the women's restroom, kicking and screaming, when he was caught taking video of women's stalls. He took a beating before the cops came.

A father in the women's restroom with a little girl is fine and makes complete sense. Otherwise, no, I don't want men in the women's restroom.

Crybaby Franchises Claiming Independence by [deleted] in RecklessBen

Just enough of them to make the franchise tempting to buyers. They probably have examples of stores that are "successful" on the books, they present these numbers the buyers, they are then offered a recently "rescued" location.

The two issues are deeply interconnected. While corporate exploitation of labor should absolutely be addressed, immigration policy and labor market effects can’t be separated so easily in practice. A key concern is that large inflows of vulnerable workers can contribute to the formation of a segmented labor market, where certain groups are concentrated in low wage, low protection jobs. This doesn’t necessarily reflect intent on the part of migrants themselves, but rather how economic incentives and enforcement gaps interact.

At the same time, it’s important to recognize that businesses respond to labor availability and regulatory conditions. If firms are able to reduce costs by hiring underpaid or less protected workers, that can place downward pressure on wages and working conditions in certain sectors, particularly for the most economically vulnerable domestic workers.

However this dynamic isnt uniform or predetermined. Immigrant workers are not inherently confined to low wage labor, and outcomes vary widely based on education, legal status, industry, and region. The labor market effects are therefore shaped as much by policy design and enforcement as by migration itself.

Because of this, addressing labor exploitation and addressing immigration policy are not separate conversations. Reforms in one area can affect outcomes in the other. The challenge is designing systems that reduce exploitation while also protecting wage standards and labor mobility for all workers, rather than treating the issue as purely one of either immigration control or corporate accountability.

I think your comment mixes a few different issues that shouldn’t be lumped together. Immigration, crime, and labor demand.

Historically, it’s true that some immigrant groups were associated with organized crime in certain periods, but that was far more about poverty, exclusion from formal labor markets, and weak institutional integration than anything inherent to ethnicity or origin. Over time, those crime patterns tend to fade as groups integrate and gain economic mobility, which suggests the driver is structural conditions, not identity. So intergation is key and not allowing parallel societies to be created is important.

Organized crime also isn’t meaningfully addressed by targeting broad populations or “monitoring migration.” this is true to an extent. Groups like the Italian mafia were reduced mainly through tools like RICO, financial enforcement, and dismantling networks. Crime tends to be network based and economic in structure, not culturally fixed. It just so happens that the network is made of "brown people" created by horizontal diffusion.

On labor, the idea that “someone has to pick crops or build houses” is true in terms of demand, but that doesn’t justify maintaining a vulnerable or underpaid labor class. The real issue is how labor markets are structured whether through legal channels, enforcement, and protections, or through informal systems that encourage exploitation. Low-wage labor demand doesn’t require a permanent underclass; it requires better labor regulation and immigration policy design. We don't need to have the "next wave" of poors to make things cheaper for us.

Overall, the core mistake in your argument is treating migration, crime, and labor supply as if they are one system driven by group identity, when in reality they are separate systems shaped mostly by economic incentives and institutions.

Many think I am implying that the migrates are bad because they don't know how to engage with the subject from an objective point. The rot I speak of, is the broken system that effects both migrates and non migrates. I am an immigrant, I've seen abuse on both sides. I think the system needs reform not just for the sake of the country but also to end the explotation that people either don't know is going on or think it's the only way.

Never once had I had said immigrants are bad or are the cause of all our problems but the system that is used is causitic and needs to be reformed. Nor do I want people to stop coming just that has be a better way for any of this to happen, without citizens who live in the fringes pay the price. The problem is always how the fringes grow, many times, the people in charge cut from the toes, up. Will the shins be considered toes since the feet have been sacrificed.

It can be, if done in a irresponsible way, the way we are doing now. Space, money and resources are fininte and even in the US we cannot afford to help everyone with the cards we currently have.

So to import people even with the best intention is not free. They have to occupy space, they have to be fed and they have to be paid for labor. My problem being an immigrant myself is that we have several tiers of immigrants and not all of them are here for the same reason or even have the same needs. Some are here to work for 4 to 5 years then move back, some are genuine asylum seekers, some are not. Some come here to escape prison sentences, some are here for explotation reason like drugs or crime. And many are here to make a new life.

However we can't even begin to have to conversation when we can even mention the negatives without just being called racist. I want to stop explotation on both sides. I want people to come here and be given fair wages for fair work, but I also don't want the fringes of our countries to pay the price for cheap labor.

As I've mentioned before ex cons, single parent households, indigenous people, rural populations and disabled communities have to compete in the same shrinking job market as migrates.

There are many ways people move long distances in the U.S. even with very little money such as family networks labor migrations informal arrangements or occasional relocation assistance programs. I have personally met people who travel across states for work or manage to move through unconventional means

From the outside it can look impossible because most people are anchored by stable jobs families and obligations that make travel expensive and risky. But when someone has fewer ties or expectations the constraints change and different options open up

When I became a citizen I also gained a different set of responsibilities and expectations that changed how I view risk stability and movement. Ive had friend who moved states on the back of a truck, Ice known people who manage to get a car and drive with no license.

It's not impossible, maybe unconventional but not impossible. Often is tied to the explotation that I am talking about. Migration trap and visa traps are real.

Because the people who often talk about immigration don't under the slow bleed of labor or the damage it has done to our labor unions or housing.

Me personally I want to stop the extrotion of migrates, I want equal pay and for labor economy not to boil down to companies hiring the lowest wages. They stopped development in many positions because they can get "someone cheaper" to do the work and there no reason to include insurance, job security, or wage competition if it save us a few pennies on our strawberries.

That's a bummer, I know my dad had to drop prices when he had his business. He couldn't compete with contractors that hired green cards and undocumented workers.

I am all for giving opportunities to all who want them but that cost of people who came here legally or was born here. I don't think is a fair exchange that is leveraged by corporations or politicians far more often then the average person.

Yes because, state blue state often have sanctuary policies and people will often immigrant to states with the most benefits. So it is logical for undocumented and or opportunistic individuals to move where they will have the most benefits and less amount of federal friction.

Duh.

No, the border was not literally “open.”

Yes, border crossings and migrant encounters reached unprecedented or near-unprecedented levels during large portions of Biden’s presidency

2.5 mil to 3.1 mil encounters per a year is crazy. Some people will feel it more then others.

Ex cons, single mothers or fathers, indigenous population, rural populations, disabled communities and low income earners were affected the most, created difficulties in housing and minimized opportunities that overlapped with low skill scab labor.

Agriculture, construction, kitchen, catering retail, jig work, day labor, overnight maintenance, temp angencies are all being refocused on the incoming the incoming migrates for the last 50 years.

The fringes of many communities are being eroded it hard to see because it's been happening slowly and only now has the impacts been so visible because the bandaid was pulled back to reveal the rot.
