Feminism because why not make a thread for it?

I just want to point out, that fedoras are totally okay hats to wear.

Although I personally prefer bowlers and trilbys.

oop, but if you ugly yourself up you're less likely to be hired in the first place

if only you would just stop being a woman that would solve all your problems

You just have to dress up the perfect amount to titillate the men in the room during your interview, but then dress frumpy at work so as not to distract the married guys... but still be sexy so you seem available to the single guys. But don't be slutty, or a tease.

I'm just going to repeat "I still believe in nice people." over and over again until the urge to set things on fire goes away.

I knew a girl who was once a police officer in Jersey, but they bsically told her "You're too hot and sexy for people to take you seriously." Now she's part of the police force for the local high school.

It always makes me a bit on edge when people want to talk about the conditions of a country I've never even visited, let alone lived in. It also worries me that many people from well-to-do countries (and lets be honest, 'murca's pretty notorious for this) like to look into other countries and go "OMG YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG" and get all social justice on them -without bothering to fix their own damned problems first-.

Like, that world is so far away from mine there is no way in hell I would ever be able to make a truly informed opinion, let alone actually do something to change people's lives for the better.

I don't want to seem like I haven't got compassion for people in those situations, because believe me, every time I hear these stories it breaks my heart. But lamenting it on a forum so far removed from the reality of the situation isn't going to help anybody.

The point is to help people, and I'm not convinced one country pushing their weight around in another country is the way to fix this sort of problem. Too much existing prejudice, too many sweeping generalizations, and too many misunderstandings that lead to angry people with guns making poor choices.

re: india — i have plenty of coworkers from india. The four girls talk about returning there with dread, absolute dread. They call it a corrupt miserable country that treats dalits and women like trash, and dalit women doubly so, and they cannot abide spending any longer than absolutely necessary in it, even if their family is there, and they pretty much can't wait to peace out back to 'muricah once they get updated work visas.

rape is commonplace and as i have noted before you can buy off an entire police force and rape with impunity. just don't let a mob of the literally hundreds of women you've raped catch you in the courtroom and you're good
