Monday morning

Nov 04, 2024 05:38

I slept like a rock after the day of chores, and with T back in the house, but now I'm awake. It's a Maids Monday, but we're pretty much ready for it because I did all the prep yesterday. And it's the last day before Election Day, although 77,317,453 people have already voted, which is almost half of the total turnout in 2020. So many early ( Read more... )

Like - you don't get further anymore by finding "okay, this system is racist and biased against people with no pale skin tone". Make your way into a ghetto where there's poverty plus people with no pale skin color (or very few). What are common problems in such areas? Drugs, drug traffic, guns, those guns used in shootngs, gang crime. - In those areas, kids often grow up without their fathers because, as soon as having slept with a woman without contraception results in her getting a baby, they fuck off and don't take over the responsibility for the child ( ... )

Same thing with women's rights and feminism. - First things first, women's rights activism didn't start with American feminism, but much, much earlier than thatSo - don't get so absorbed in feminism and its crude ideology, and even the more get clear of it that feminism is solely based on theories from the humanities (which aren't as definite like the STEM disciplines where theories can be proven and end up in the same results if doing the same experiment with the same outside conditions ( ... )

I hadn't focused on how most gun violence victims are men - over 80% in the US. There has been discussion in the US recently about how boys and young men are finding it more difficult to succeed and that it isn't fair to lump all males into the category of "oppressor". Gender roles oppress everybody, and capitalism oppresses everybody who has to work for a living.

There are a lot of discussions online about our election, of course, and yesterday I was reading an exchange between somebody who called Democrats "center-right" and somebody who loyally supports Democrats because of LGBTQ rights, especially same-sex marriage. I've long felt that instead of focusing on the benefits of marriage that we should focus on benefits for EVERYBODY. For example, a lot of LGBTQ people wanted marriage so they could join their employed spouse's health insurance. Why can't we have government health insurance for EVERYBODY, regardless of marriage? And with all the other benefits given to spouses, why can't we just let a person designate another ( ... )

See? That's how narrow the focus on violence against women has been during the last couple of years.
For 1 women who dies through a violent act, count, maybe, 10 men (don't know how many children to include) who get killed and nobody gives a fuck or thinks "hey, if every day, 10 people lose their lives here because of violence or theft, then we are a horrible society ( ... )

Hm, health issurance is an aspect I hadn't thought about in the gay marriage issue... But well, that's probably because here the underlying problem doesn't exist (yet ( ... )
