Me too. I said that before, much longer and much more scathingly (although not personally offensively) and it has “mysteriously disappeared”. But I just wanted to quickly agree here because you’re not alone.

Yeah, it’s a great idea to waste the most formative years of your life, when it’s the easiest to learn things being “taught” by completely unqualified people. I was homeschooled and it pretty much ruined my life. I can’t interact well with people, I have zero qualifications, and since I was never taught the academic way of learning I struggle to get them. I don’t know things that are common knowledge and that makes me look and feel ignorant.
That doesn’t sound too bad, but actually it ends up being very isolating. You can say all your homeschool camps all you like, the fact is that’s optional. There’s no structure, no system. This is what it was like FOR YOU. This list format only works for actual schools where there are guidelines. A selfish, shortsighted, and dumb way to raise your children. Should be illegal.
That’s just his face. This place is getting more awful by the day. It’s a confusing mix of mocking people and outrage that people would mock people (almost exclusively women). The hell happened?
In 1997 humans had not quite worked out that the floor was not, contrary to popular belief, lava.
Consequently we placed small stepping stones fashioned from the fur of the Faux onto the floor to enable crude transportation and to hopefully appease the angry volcano gods.
…oh dammit they are. Now I feel racist, because I probably only noticed thanks to the extra contrast. :/
Is #14 just a bad angle, or is she wearing one cosmetic contact lens?
The framing of this article is wrong in so many ways. First of all there’s the subheadline. It’s good for everyone, is it? Even the 20% and predicted to be rising of women* that will never have kids? But we’ll put that sizeable minority aside for the moment to focus on the biggest assumption.
You assume that women managers should be doing things more family friendly. It’s not even a question in your article whatsoever, you question if they are, you do not question that they should.
And unwittingly you have revealed that you expect your male bosses to be family unfriendly, because that’s just “how it is”. You’re shoving an issue that is important to you to the sidelines because you cannot get over the idea that it is a woman’s place to look after children. And lastly, while it’s not an excuse for companies treating their employees badly, all this hand wringing comes off as mindbendingly entitled while there are people just desperate to get any job, let alone one with a “good work/life balance”. I know, I know, I’ll probably get one of those oh so funneh badges like “wut” or “smh” or “tl;dr”, but I don’t care, at least it puts another view out there. *Blame researchers men, the studies of paternity are fewer and further inbetween for a mixture of obvious medical reasons and bias. I would assume it would be similar rates though.
Nope.
In fact, that is the root of the current problem with feminism, and why it is being attacked from all sides. It has turned into a personal thing, practically making women untouchable.
Feminism is NOT about people, it is about gender. If someone says that all women are irrational that’s sexist. If someone says that a particular woman is irrational that’s a personal attack, and not sexism. We cannot and should not strive to have it both ways, because it is this weakness that is being attacked. The “me first feminism” stinks of hiding behind mummy’s apron, is entirely inappropriate, and is holding back progress.
I just want there to be less boob armour. Once we’ve gotten past that inherent game design sexism I don’t really care what a bunch of teenage boys think of me for playing “their” games.
Oh boo fucking hoo, some people might actually have to go and work. Big deal. Put on your big girl pants and deal with it Princess.
