If you think my argument is missing something, by all means, it would be useful to say that rather than passive aggressive.

You do you. Data alone is pretty useless to me.

So there are tribes with both dynamics, maybe more one than the other?. We can also look at things like, say, competitive records between “sexes” (it’s a spectrum, so the binary divide is weird to begin with, but I digress). Men run on average like 30 seconds faster on the mile than women in societies with clear disadvantages to women’s training.

Is this actually significant enough to exclude women? I fail to see how it could be for a role that requires a multitude of skills.

Society’s seem to have stratified based on sex to “protect” women, and maybe a lot of women even prefer it. The issue is when we use some societal preferences to override the individual and prescribe roles before the individual can even develop their own preference (men and enbies included).

What I’m seeing are some societies seem to have figured that out well enough, others are more oppressive.

Just a friendly reminder there are therapists that work pro bono or for discounted rates. I’m paying $60/ session without insurance and it’s an investment for my mental health, future relationships and career.

It’s not just about learning the new interfaces…I’ve used the new site design and have heard the official app is just as bad about shoving ads down our throats. Baconreader made ads at least fairly unobtrusive, but with all the drama I’ve decided: fuck it. I appreciate Lemmy and other decentralized options for being user-funded rather than reliant on corporations

I’ve been growing weary of these centralized platforms selling off my info. It’s dangerous to have that much power as we’ve seen with election interferences. I’m working to switch over to here from reddit and mastodon from Twitter (I didn’t really use Twitter anyway, but mastodon does have npr and other news media). Might as well tbh
