I've been big before, and people definitely treat you differently.

And preaching about generosity to the congregation while not doing anything for the poor or victim of natural disaster etc..

If the punishment for a crime is to pay a fine, that means its legal as long as you can afford it.

There is no reason or logic behind American health care - only greed.

That’s also illegal.

Tied with the classic stereotype that men don't care about parenting and see it as some kind of chore. Doubled with tge new stereotype that men showing care for children are creepy

Our government is like that

Non smokers can (and should!) take breaks too. It’s very healthy for your brain.

Absolutely. And you can add politicians to that group.

And somehow sex with different men makes you a s**t but lots of sex with one man doesn't.

guys it's really simple, vote with your pockets. Boycott the offending company, even if it is inconvenient.

I don't understand this, especially in bullied and self-defence scenarios.. My principle in life, if someone kicks you, kick back harder.

I had an appointment with my GP at 8.30 AM. I was her first patient of that day. She showed up at 8.55 without as much as an apology. So I told her that I'd be looking for a new GP who was able to read the clock and knew what respect for their patients meant. I left her office telling her that I wasn't interested in her diagnose, because someone as unprofessional as her could not be trusted. It took me some effort, but I found a GP who does know how to manage his time.

Reminds me of that recent story about the woman groping Gaston's chest. Lot of people were like 'It's just his chest and he's a dude, it's fine!'

Yep. Its like men arent supposed to feel embarrassment, fear or sadness. It seems the only things we are "allowed" to feel are happy, horny, or angry.

Or interviewer being late for the interview, and think 'it's okay'. Interviewer or potential employer, it's a sign that you are okay in wasting other's time and don't respect timeline.

An old toxic stereotype that "all women should get kids"

That's a red flag for candidates. That company wants someone with experience who would accept entry level pay.

Simply taking care of yourself is almost considered gay among some men these days

I'm not ok with people (and their families, guardians, state) being diagnosed with a serious mental illness and not being treated. For example, Squizofrenia es a very grave malady, even when being called Bipolar Disorder. I have been a witness of individuals creating mayhem, and afterward, calmy saying, "Oh, I have bipolar disorder." The supreme court ruling that found "free of involuntary institutionalization" sufferers of mental illnesses does not make them healed. Also, nobody indeed wants to pay for treatment, so many are ending in the streets are wrongly called homeless, drug addicts, prostitutes, petty criminals, and jails and prisons main population. Mental illnesses should be covered by Medicaid, long-term, and free of charge due to their impact on society. Individual action, other than personally financing the full treatment of a sufferer, always will fall short. Good intentions and acceptance are mostly self-gratification.

where's that? I see dads with Kids an all playgrounds. In fact I go to playgrounds with my kid, myself, no strange looks

Brock Turner. What a disgusting little maggot. He should still be behind bars.

Its legal if you can afford the fine...

YES!!! This! OMG - I'm 42, struggle with working a 'normal' job, and I've never heard it put so clearly. Thank you!!!!

The NFL and NBA are full of straight up punk a$$ thugs that can literally get away with murder and nothing happens to them!

Screw that. Its both peoples wedding.

At me current workplace we're not allowed to work more than 50% from home, because working from home is a luxury they say, even though it's perfectly possible in this line of work. It almost seems like they want us to come to the office so they can keep better track of what we're doing and control us more easily

There are however corporations who take care of their employees and thankfully there are laws that protect workers here in Europe and in the modern western world (maybe not usa but I don't really know - before I get downvoted to hell).

THIS. I've emailed my counsellors and teachers multiple times and still had to wait over a week for a response. But yeah, I'm the irresponsible one because I didn't see the response you sent at 11pm.

🙄 I work on film sets and everyone must wear a mask but no one enforces the rules for the cast or Director, producer etc when we’re not shooting.

You clearly don't watch our debates.

My mum is exceptional at her job and is one of the highest rated workers in her agency. She has been doing APS5 work for a while now even though her position is an APS4. She has to sit for an interview to get the APS5 position. The problem is my mum doesn't cope well with the interview process (recently diagnosed with ASD). She has had 3 interviews and been denied the higher level and instead they have hired outsiders that don't have the experience. My mum has had enough, she has told them to no longer give her APS5 work. If she's not going to get paid for doing the more complicated stuff, then they can shove it. Her boss and bosses boss have vouched for her but because she works for the government there are specific guidelines they have to follow in regards to the hiring process. She can't just get a promotion without being successful in the interview. It really isn't fair at all.

The opposite was true when I was in school. South Africa we have uniforms. Girls had to wear short dresses throughout winter with either stockings or knee high socks. 50% of my school memories were of me being freezing cold. Not sure if girls have more options nowadays.

I always felt awkward when men don't wear upper body clothing. Sometimes you just don't want to see that

I’m happy with people going shirtless if they want. I think that those who do (without having gone to the gym for months beforehand) show body confidence I wish I possessed when I was younger. I do feel that many who do so in order to display a gym honed body seem to do so for reasons of vanity rather than comfort. Hey - each to their own. Life’s way too short to care about such trivial things.

ya, i'd be good with shirts on for everyone.

Shoot. Let people be naked. It’s a human body. We all have one. Americans are too hung up on nudity. As long as you’re not being gross or invading others’ space (assault is still wrong and illegal), who the heck cares.

It used to be no problem in Western European countries. With more diverse cultures immigrating, it has become unacceptable by certain minority groups so women aren't as comfortable anymore sitting topless on the beach. Women even said they don't do it anymore because they were sure they would get assaulted.

Aside from the beach, private residences (garden party etc) and a few specific places I'm honestly not ok with men being topless

The problem is that it’s not the social norm for women to be casually topless as guys are. And like it or not breasts are sexualized. So unless you expect a massive shift in societal norms on this this won’t change anytime soon.

They can in my province and several others in my country since 1991.

Woman want the same rights as men in regards to this comment, but bitch when a man looks. OMG he's sexualizing me. Yeeeet it's ok for those very women to sexualize men. WTAF? This is why some women shouldn't open their mouths.

my boss did that once - it was very awkward. especially because i am sure that he would have said nasty things if i dressed half as revealing. but that idiot also thought it would be ok to drop his pants he wanted them fresh and nice for an appointment in the afternoon.

Most women wouldn't anyways! We have enough problems as it is, I couldn't imagine adding topless problems on top of it! Omg no no no....

In Ontario Canada, women can go top less. It is rarely ever done though.

Go ahead and walk around topless... I don't mind.

I'm sorry but I'm a bit confused. I don't want to walk around showing my bubbles, unless I'm in a nudist beach. I really don't.
