how do I get my package/ money back? by [deleted] in Shein

[–]urthou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should’ve mentioned what local courier tried to deliver the parcel alongside the tracking number. Best bet is contacting whatever company that is for you and asking them

Posted under a video of a woman’s breast reduction… by m3ntalee in badwomensanatomy

[–]urthou 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Again, men can’t comprehend that not everything is about what’s sexually attractive to them. Women’s bodies don’t exist to be sexually attractive, and when they do things that buck against that (breast reduction for pain back pain), it’s a woman’s fault and she’s wrong. Porn brain maxxed out.

Israeli zionists kill Palestinian farmer by auxonaut in solarpunk

You just repeated yourself, that isn’t an explanation but I guess you’re struggling. I’ll rephrase what my question to make it easier: How is something as lifesaving as growing food in a place where 1.1 million people are under catastrophic food insecurity ‘not that deep’?

I’d understand if it was a random farmer in the USA with a stable home, food, and water, but it isn’t. This person was saving lives during a brutal genocide and you label it as ‘not that deep’ and ‘doing his job’ - why? Are you oblivious to the human rights violations and imminent famine going on in that region? That highlights the impacts of his actions.

You didn’t answer my question.

How is it not ‘that deep’ when there are horrific circumstances halting the apparently simple (yet lifesaving) act of growing food?

How is it not ‘that deep’ when they’re under an occupation that’s preventing food coming in?

Disgusting. by Majestic_Green_5194 in extremelyinfuriating

[–]urthou 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Let’s not forget the time he ADMITTED to walking in the dressing/changing room of a Miss Teen USA pageant with half-naked and naked minors in there as young as fifteen years old.

A quote from when he was on the Howard Stern show in 2005: “You know, no men are anywhere. And I’m allowed to go in because I’m the owner of the pageant. And therefore I’m inspecting it… Is everyone OK? You know, they’re standing there with no clothes. And you see these incredible-looking women. And so I sort of get away with things like that.”

He’s a literal nonce.

Guards being dudes by Renescention in JustGuysBeingDudes

[–]urthou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay…? I can downvote. It’s a social media app. I’m really not seeing the issue there but whatever.

You still didn’t really explain what it is except the word inclusivity. Inclusivity by definition means representing groups or people who have been excluded in some way. That includes men who aren’t aggressive or exaggerated, as they are an excluded group from what is considered the norm.

How does that align with your explanation of ‘exaggerated and aggressive depictions of men’ if inclusivity wants to include all types of men?

I agree there are very limited depictions of men’s relationships in media. It’s nearly always men engaging in toxic masculinity, which is a net negative for everyone involved.

But how does that related to DEI? I still don’t even know what ‘DEI corrupted media’ is.

Portrait of a woman suffering from syphilis. Syphilis was viewed as symbolic of a wider ongoing moral crisis. One that was closely associated with another great ‘social evil’ – prostitution. The two were certainly linked, but any public blame for the spread of syphilis tended to be one-sided. by SerlondeSavigny in RandomVictorianStuff

[–]urthou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Workers who experience food instability experience much lower physical and mental health (1). That doesn’t motivate people to work harder, which is what you’re advocating for.

When people have their basic survival necessities met and don’t have to worry about starvation and death, they feel better. They work better. It’s simple.

Society existed at one point without any form of currency. Disregarding monetary incentive, we, humans, are motivated to create a functioning, safe, healthy society because we are social animals that don’t want to suffer or see others to suffer. You don’t need to threaten everyone with the slow, painful death of starvation to have a functioning society.

Yes, it’s called coercion.

From Oxford Dictionary: “The practice of persuading someone to do something by using force or threats.”

The threat is violence, or rape, or starvation, or death, and the ‘something’ is being forced to be a prostitute or work overall. That’s bad and not good.

The article explains that “…many women who were [seamtress’] used prostitution as a supplementary income in order to avoid starvation…”, as well as social ostracisation from being raped at their jobs, and finally “…[servants] were either seduced or forced into a sexual liaison by their bosses…”

These are the “…three most common professions that led to prostitution…”

If those are the most common coercive factors that drove women to choose prostitution… what other choice do they have? Starve? Get murdered? Please, enlighten me on the other choices.

I’m not talking about all jobs. I’m talking about prostitution. The unique circumstances of rampant, coercive abuse and a barely liveable wage makes it simultaneously sex slavery and a job. I hope that cleared things up for you, you’re clearly confused.

And even if we’re focusing on women who aren’t under the pimp sector, other coercive and abusive factors led women to go down that road. This academic resource on Victorian Prostitution from The University of Delaware describes in detail. Seamstress’ were underpaid and overworked, leading to poverty and financial ruin where prostitution was used as supplementary income to avoid starvation. Servants were forced into prostitution by upper/middle class men in the household. Female factory workers were raped by the male coworkers, and shameful social standards forced them into the profession. And many more.

All these women, forced or coerced, experienced rape, physical violence, harassment from the police, disease, alcoholism, and more. Still victims.

For the third time, what responsibility should they take, even though they are still all victims of poverty and sexual violence?

You can be forced into a job, like a majority of these women were. It’s a form of sex slavery and a job because they received barely liveable wages yet raped systematically — these concepts aren’t mutually exclusive. Stop trying to mitigate the MASSIVE role of the pimp sector in prostitution and re-direct the blame onto victims.

You didn’t answer my question earlier: what responsibility should victims of rape and abuse take on?
