Sun’s out, buns out - let those cheeks tan!

Excellent example, and I sincerely appreciate you engaging in good faith discussion!

I agree that being masculine should by default not be a barrier - social or otherwise - from working with children.

How do we begin to change that as a society?

Although I can’t think of the solution myself, I also don’t see how advancing equality for feminine individuals would hold back equality for masculine individuals.

As mentioned in another comment, a lot of these problems seem to stem from the enforcement of dated gender norms.

I do believe that this is essentially another symptom of a wider problem related to gender roles.

Certainly agree with you there and I really appreciate your nuanced take.

I think many miss the greater overarching message that forcing gender roles only serves to hold us back as a human race.

Why does the article tell us about his hobbies or when he graduated? It is completely irrelevant.

The relevance is two-fold:

  1. The American people were promised the deportation of dangerous criminals. Judging by the fact that this kid was busy working on his education and excelling in community sports tells us he likely wasn’t engaged in criminal activities, we know where he’s been. This highlights the failure of the mass immigration plan and how devastating it can be on the lives of innocent people.

  2. With all that being said, why are tax dollars being wasted on this?

positions like nurses or teachers are very female dominated.

I’m sure it varies from country to country, but in the US women could not study medicine until the late 1800’s and the US Army did not allow female physicians until 1940.

It’s not unlikely to think we have many people today who were alive before women practicing as physicians was common place.

I’m convinced it’s less of a matter of a group “dominating” a space but rather being pigeonholed/forced into it due to a lack of options, and these circumstances have impact that are still felt to this day.

I’m not sure about Italy but in a lot of the US becoming a school teacher requires a college degree and has wages that do not keep up with the cost of living.

You can look up articles of teachers losing their jobs for doing sex work or provocative modeling to earn extra income because their job does not pay enough.

Doesn’t seem like that big of a win? Unless I’m missing something?

Edit: re-read your reply and realized I did not read it properly the first time. That’ll teach me to comment in the wee hours LOL. I greatly appreciate your response! Leaving the original reply in place for the sake of context.

I only see women being pushed into places with traditionally male majority, but not men being pushed into places with traditional female majority

Genuinely curious, got any examples of “traditional female majority places” that masculine individuals cannot enter/participate in?

They put it up to vote so the will of the people can be heard.

The majority vote in favor of legalized abortion and minimum wage increases.

Then they withhold the implementation of both.

Fucking hate this shit.

I would think and hope that, but evidence tends to point to the contrary.

A quick search brings up multiple articles including:

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/01/nsa-finally-admits-to-spying-on-americans-by-purchasing-sensitive-data/

Guess those EULAS we all agreed to but never read had some sneaky language about what they can do with the data.

[–] FloMo@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (2 children)

If I had to guess, obtaining the data by force may require a court order or legal process.

Buying data that someone else is willingly selling bypasses those steps.

I don’t remember it being particularly difficult, I’m a bit of a linux newb myself, but I’d be lying if I said I remember which steps I took off the top of my head.

My spouse has a laptop from Asus with VERY similar Specs (but an RTX 3050ti instead of a 3060) and so far Linux Mint has been a pretty trouble -free experience with ONE condition:

I set it to use the dedicated nvidia gpu 24/7 as opposed to the integrated AMD gpu. I forgot what exactly was happening but if memory serves it was disrupting something, I think recovering from closing the lid?

After doing that we’ve never had an issue again. They mostly use at their desk plugged in, sp the power usage isn’t much a concern.

Hope this helps!
