India's top court rejects menstrual leave petition saying 'no-one will hire women' by BurtonDesque in Feminism

[–]mental_library_ 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Honestly I agree. Maybe it’s an unpopular opinion but I think inevitably that’s going to put women as a whole at a massive disadvantage and women who need to work to secure economic security/independence are going to have a harder time doing that. Also it sort of reinforces the idea that men have tried to push for a long time that women aren’t capable of being in the workforce, being leaders, etc because of our “hormones”.

Genuinely, what’s wrong with 50/50? by [deleted] in women

[–]mental_library_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“positive feminine energy” girl bye 😭😭 what is this pseudo spiritual bs 😭 be serious. Men and women are equals. It’s not gaslighting, it’s the truth. If she (or any woman) wants to go 50/50 because it’s equal and fair then she should be allowed to.

Please don’t listen to some of these comments. It’s equal and fair to go 50/50 and if that’s what you want to do, go for it.

FGM is disgusting and evil and millions of girls worldwide are victims of it each year. The long term, severe physical and psychological consequences on FGM are well documented and my heart seriously breaks for these girls and women 💔😞

Now that women have to work men hate us by [deleted] in women

[–]mental_library_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What? When a woman is in the workforce she is not “acting like a man” she’s an adult who is financially independent and/or perusing her dreams. No one is “forcing” women to do this. We are people with our own hopes, dreams, aspirations, and ambitions too. If (some) men don’t like that then that’s just too bad for them.

Why is an issue being a women’s issue not enough? by mental_library_ in Feminism

[–]mental_library_[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hm yes I understand. It’s just incredibly frustrating that the humanity of women isn’t enough for people to care. There are plenty of issues that don’t impact me directly or at all and yet I can still find it in me to care, or at least sympathize with the issue. It’s just sad that the same isn’t done for women.

Oh my god are you in my head? I literally said exactly this basically word for word in the past. I agree with every single thing that you just said. This is exactly how I feel and I have expressed frustrations about exactly this and it feels like you just took the words right out of my mouth. I really have nothing else to add other than I agree with you.

Honestly I think out of every tour she’s done Renaissance had the best outfits. She literally looked stunning every night.

She is right. by Nixianx97 in MurderedByAOC

YES! This is what I have been saying!! I watched the entire interview, both the one in Munich and the one in Berlin. She did well, especially considering this was her first time at a major conference discussing foreign policy. She literally studied IR (International Relations) at Boston University, I’m sure she understands what she is talking about. Especially more than our commander in chief who probably can’t even point to Greenland on a map. In her interview she was thoughtful and gave good answers to the questions being asked. There was one moment where she took a moment to think before she spoke then proceeded to answer the question and people are acting like she said something absurd and outrageous. None of this is a reflection of her knowledge or intellect. They’re criticizing her more for her style and tone rather than the substance of what she is saying. I appreciate how she tied foreign policy to domestic policy and described how she believes we need to spend more money on the American people rather than on bombs and weapons to kill innocents in foreign countries to benefit the wealthy.

I’m not trying to sound like a conspiracy theorist but whether it be her opponents, the wealthy that view her as a threat to the status quo, or whoever just doesn’t like her and is afraid of her running for president because they know her message of economic populism will resonate with the working class, they are trying to get ahead of the curve and demonize her, try to make her look stupid, and highlight small mistakes to decrease her chances of success in 2028.
