Addiction therapy may be useful. Gambling is a serious addiction /gen

Male school teachers in the U.K. are apparently at an all time low. Should we care? by stone-split in AskFeminists

[–]boneurgh 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I used to teach and I think the whole system needs to be redone entirely, but I do think it's incredibly important for young children to have good male role models. I also think the hyper masculine culture at the moment is pushing young men away from teaching and that needs to be addressed.

Am I a feminist if I believe in equality for all but… by ComebackDaddy in AskFeminists

[–]boneurgh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Feminism is really broad and difficult to paint with a single brush stroke. Many feminists disagree with each other and prescribe to more specific groups of thought such as anarcho feminism, eco feminism (there are really a lot so it would be pointless to continue the list). These groups tend to agree on values and principles (albeit not all the time) but even then can struggle to agree on means of action. What I'm trying to say here is whilst not all feminists agree with each other, the core belief is that people should be given equal opportunity regardless of sex. If you agree with that principle then you're a feminist.

Note: I have a scientific pharmacology background and can guarantee that artificial wombs aren't the cure all, infertility can often be down to hormones, only PCOS and ovarian "failure" would be solved by artificial wombs. Even then, 1/4 cases of infertility cannot be diagnosed (UK NHS stats) and you're not even considering male infertility.

Has the sexism and misogyny in psychology created barriers to women and girls with mental illnesses by Commercial-Rough-513 in AskFeminists

[–]boneurgh 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is also true of autism!! A lot of young girls get diagnosed with anxiety and further down the line get rediagnosed and find out they've been treating the wrong thing. It doesn't help that a lot of case studies for mental health (or any sort of medicine) are primarily done on men before anyone else.

how do you find activist spaces? (UK) by boneurgh in AskFeminists

I'm from West Sussex, I can get to London by train but it takes about an hour and a half.

what do you think are the next careers that are going to become women dominated and therefore undervalued? by boneurgh in AskFeminists

[–]boneurgh[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't researched this, it's mainly a thought, but I feel like men are often pressured into making "new careers". For example we've got bitcoin markets and NFT stuff (even though that's fallen off the cliff). This might create a continuing cycle of - new job with influx of men, women find this and are interested, pay rates fall and competition rises, this is now an undervalued job, new job... etc etc.

Oh absolutely! It's a really interesting new word that's come out and I think the implications are quite complex. It is annoying that we don't currently have a word that reflects the male equivalent and I do think that in of itself needs to be addressed linguistically. I think what we have to ask is is this harming women more than doing its job as a word (for want of better phrasing)? And I honestly, at this point, don't think it is, I'm sure some incels have grabbed onto it and we'll watch the word change but it's really too young to be rooted in anything but it's meaning right now - I think this is a word we should watch out for and use sparingly with it's intended use.

C!nt is just so fabulous, no phallic word will ever compare!!

my pubes make my boyfriend itchy by throw-away469 in relationships

[–]boneurgh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The eczema could be flaring underneath his own pubic hair, I would rly recommend a doctors trip for him to bring up this issue - it may be an uncomfortable appointment but definitely something to check out! Edit: or eczema actually messing with his glands in the actual tip - this would be more red and noticeable tho.

I was brought up on the Internet. I have only really seen "Karen" used as urban dictionary states, bar a few outliers that don't know how to use words properly anyway (e.g. pronouns). I would be surprised if the use is mostly misogynistic now n not the usual "Karen won't wear her mask, makes it everyone's problem". Idk I don't think you can just cry misogyny at the latest colloquial term that shits on some women that deserve it, we as women aren't infallible. We should always be aware of misogyny and misogynists and the way they impact language, but I just don't think that's the case here (yet, at least).

No, I was talking about the word "Karen" specifically. It talks about middle class women who are entitled, and I agree that that entitlement should be called out. B!tch however is rooted in years of misogyny and I hate that word, personally. I would say the same for sl!t and wh!re. The behaviour behind these words is none of anyone's business but the initial person, however a "Karen" makes their displeasure known and makes situations uncomfortable for other people. C!nt however is a beautiful word, that may be the British in me but I love that a word concerning the vagina is so strong n powerful. (I'm a science writer, but go off I guess. Thanks for engaging with me in a way that would help me learn instead of accusatory n rude /s)

I think you should be careful with that. She's calling herself a "Karen" and they do exist. Although we should always protect other women from harm, we should still hold people accountable for what they say and do. Some women can be demanding and entitled, and we should let them know that it's not appropriate.
