ive always been willing to die on the hill of cis women being able to beat cis men in sports so nobody will ever ever make me concerned about trans women in womens sports even if i was delusional enough to believe that was a comparable situation. do i think a cis woman could beat a trans woman in fucking pickleball or whatever?

Why Women Have Beaten Men in Marathon Swimming?

Research has shown that women, due to specific reasons, have regularly produced faster times than men in marathon swimming.

Women often outperform men in Olympic shooting. Is it time for open events?

The sport’s governing body says there is little difference in performance between genders. Should men and women compete head-to-head as indi

Men’s and Women’s Gymnastics: Exploring Differences in Olympic Events

Uncover the unique differences between men’s and women's gymnastics at the Olympics. Explore how these events contrast in style and rules.

Women outperform men in many sports, and in many instances, the men's versions of these sports are rewritten into completely different versions so that they can't be compared.

And if your reaction to this is "well women don't outperform men in skills that we typically find impressive" I would implore you to think about why things women tend to be better at than men are valued less by society.

If your reaction is "well that's cherrypicking examples, its such a small handful of formalized sports" I'd implore you to think of why so many popular sports are structured around the specific set of skills men are better at.

Because the answer starts with m and ends with isogyny.

[rhyperographer]

2nd wave feminism was very, women can do anything that men can do. And now we've some-how wrapped back around to women are soft and inferior and men are strong angry brutes. It's garbage.

It makes far more sense to catagorise people based on things like, weight, height, and other relevant factors for performance in sport.

[becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys]

Agreed - like boxing technically does. That's the point of the featherweight, bantamweight, heavyweight etc categories. All sports that need it should do that.

A big reason I always loved the equestrian events in the Olympics, other than the nice horses, is that there's no gender segregation; because why would there need to be? Another W for the horse girls

An er doctor that wants to just lounge around does not make me feel confident as a patient

[prussianmemes]

how long and how many days a week do you think ER doctors work. i think they're right to want to just fucking chill. i want a well rested doctor treating me and not one who just pulled a 24 hour shift and then a 12 and another 12 before another 24, with only a few hours of legally mandated breaks inbetween.

[crazy-pages]

Yeah some of us want a 30-hour work week because we've read the experimental research trials. People aren't any less productive and they are happier and less stressed and feel less leisure time pressure.

It turns out that working 40 hours a week is just too much. Full stop, no ifs ands or buts. The tiredness and loss of focus it induces is enough that you're about 25% less productive per hour when you're on a 40-hour work week, and so the extra 10 hours a week cancels out. This effect is a little bit more pronounced for white collar work and a little bit less pronounced for blue collar work, but there's functionally not enough of a difference to care. And people who are working more than that actually become less productive in total.

The thing is that you don't immediately gain the benefits of being fully rested and focused by working less on just one day, or even one week. It can even take months to settle into the pattern of higher productivity per working hour, and that's frankly miraculously quick given that full burnout can take years to recover from. And during that transition you will be less immediately productive. Particularly for people who pride themselves on being hard workers and how much overtime they put in, the notion that working less can get just as much done can feel absurd and even insulting. Because it seems so painfully obvious that you get less done when you do less, and any experiences of being invited to do so feel like they back that up.

But it's true. We are all simply working more than we need to, pointlessly, to no benefit at all. It is an appallingly pointless waste of human life.

[addamatic]

Also, I don’t actually care if someone is less productive working 30 hours a week or 20 hours a week. We do not need endless productivity and it’s bad for the earth and bad for people. We would be completely fine if everyone was half as productive. Literally we would be better off. It does not matter that a 30 hour work week is as productive as a 40 hour work week. Reject that framing!

You there! Federal museum professional educator or FEMA climatologist or NOAA metereologist or CISA cybersecurity specialist or Army civilian logistics employee. How would you like to work for ICE? No? Not interesting? You’re working for ICE now. You’re working for ICE or you’re quitting. You don’t get a choice. You’re an ICE brown shirt or you’re out of a job.

This is not hyperbole. This is happening across the entire United States government.

[uss-edsall]

Today my museum announced three employees are ‘surplus’ and have been offered jobs with ICE. The Army is deactivating two commands and combining them. The surplus civilian employees from this merger? Sent to ICE.

FEMA has been forced to transfer employees to ICE mid-hurricane season.

100 Federal Air Marshals are being offered to ICE. 250 IRS agents are detailed to ICE. The Postal Inspection Service too. 2,000 people from the Justice Department - FBI, DEA, etc - and Department of Defense civilians are now being authorised to be transferred, either to ICE or military operations like the border or the occupation of DC.

More than 6,700 personnel have been reassigned to ICE. 80% of the ATF has been ordered to focus on immigration instead of their other work. 24% of the Diplomatic Security Service.

Nobody wants to work for ICE, nobody wants to be la migra. So they’re forcing it to happen at all costs.

At this point they're so desperate that they're taking people who can't pass the physical requirements or an open book test and they've had multiple people start training before their background checks are complete, then they come back with disqualifying criminal backgrounds or failed drug tests.

I understand that you get food where you get food, but it is off-putting when they ask for your income information and then pray over you at food banks.

[lockea]

Okay what the hell? Sorry to reblog but this just pisses me off. What the HELL does praying over someone accomplish besides shaming them and virtue signaling for yourself?

Like, I'm a Christian so I get praying for someone. Personally I would love to be prayed for right now (the shutdown has affected my family pretty badly), but not while I'm at the food bank! Like there's already a ton of indignities you suffer going to the food bank. I, personally, have experienced expired food, being given food I can't eat with no option to exchange it, limits to the number of times I visit each month (2 days of food for a WHOLE MONTH), and having to give my paystubs over to even receive food.

People don't realize how hard it is to be broke. Everyone polices you to make sure you're Truly Worthy of being helped. We don't need to make that worse by performing religion in a way unasked for by the person that only serves to humiliate them and belittle their struggles (trust me -- if prayer alone could fix this, you wouldn't be at the food bank).

Pray with your actions, not your mouth -- hand over the food. Make sure it's not expired and it's something they can eat, and make sure they know you're here to help and they can come again if they need it.

Being a good Christian is not that hard, but all talk no action isn't going to cut it.

Also-- donate money to the food banks! Getting that sweet, sweet fresh produce and meat and milk will go so much further than 2 cans of kidney beans and tomato soup. And for the love of all things good, DON'T donate expired food.

Lately, ive been inventorying some of my grievances against the church I grew up with. At the time, it seemed awesome that we had a clear mission of feeding the hungry and housing the unhoused. We ran a soup kitchen and a shelter and a warming center.

There was a free breakfast on Sundays if you attended the church service. This seemed reasonable to me because we lived in a very Christian town. I was 16ish at this time, didnt know many people outside of school and church.

Then we took a trip to another church in another city that had a similar mission. They fed the hungry, ran a shelter, and did language tutoring for immigrant children.

If the kids were there on Friday, then we would be taking a field trip to the museum.

But these kids were Muslim, and they go to mosque on Fridays.

This put a really sour taste in my mouth and it colored how I view missionary work as a whole. So when I get back to my city and I get back to volunteering at our shelter, I start thinking about how many people in my city were going hungry because they weren't Christian and didnt want to have to pretend to be Christian to get a free meal.

Probably more than I initially thought. Begin my opinions on colonization.

I then learn about some shelters and missions that actively discourage people from going to non-Christian food banks and some other shady stuff and im like... I can't be the only person who thinks this is weird.

So fast forward. I'm now volunteering for a nonprofit that runs a 'no-questions-asked' food pantry. This project was started because some of our members are food insecure and the local 'resource ministry' makes you submit income information and prays over you, so they wanted options that were a touch less humiliating. We have a little white board on the side of it where people can make suggestions for what to add.

And what do i see?

Someone had erased everything that was on the board (it was a pretty full list last week) and written in a request for information about that resource ministry.

It could be innocent. It could be nothing! It could be that someone truly wants information about that place. Though- they are literally everywhere, it would be hard to not know about them.

However- did you have to erase... all of it? I was there doing inventory and checking expiration dates so we could put in an order, but we're going to have to guess.

Anything that does good is doing good. But after looking through my relationship with Christian orgs somewhat carefully, I got that sour taste again.

I hate the sense that we're competing. What i will probably do is put a copy of our resource guide out instead because it also has... where you can get free clothes and stuff.

But.

I am always finding pamphlets and business cards and tracts in our little pantry and its very frustrating that even when we make intentional secular spaces- guess what! Jesus is here anyways. If you want free food, you have to deal with Jesus.

If you believe that good things come from Christ, then the mission is the food itself. You, the person giving the food, should not be proseletyzing to the person who is hungry. The message is in the kindness. This is what I was always taught! You do good things and then maybe someone else does good things because kindness is infectious!

But I was taught that by people who believed that dangling a carrot in front of someone to get them to go to church was right and true and good and godly, so im back to one where im thinking maybe we just give people their dang can of corn.

isnt it maddening how one day ur 9 and u go to middle school and cub scouts and all the kids are cursing and making dirty jokes and drawing dicks and repeating offensive shit they got from watching south park and family guy on their bedroom tv after their parents have gone to bed (on the same channel that shows kids cartoons during the day) and playing horrifically violent games on newgrounds and a handful of the kids u know have straight up told u they do coke, then next thing u know ur an adult and the ppl around u expect u to act like even the slightest exposure to potentially objectionable content or depictions of the human body will instantly and irreversibly shatter any childs fragile innocent mind

and theyre like "prove to me this wont traumatize my children!" and even the ppl who agree w u go "well u see, in other cultures, and in the ancient past, and if u look at this study-" but like. my source is every child whos ever grown up at any point in human history. open ur eyes. we have never been able to stop kids from seeing and repeating adult stuff and we never will, and its always just been fine

The people who consider abortion to be murder would be so upset to learn that throughout most of human history, the alternative to abortion and birth control was actually infanticide and not just having the baby and raising it. Especially in times of immense stress and reduced resources. Murdering babies was a thing humans and our ancestors did for thousands of years to ensure the survival of the species. Abortion and birth control has enabled us to live in a much gentler society.

im having feelings about the uffington white horse again

[batmanego]

so essentially there’s this cool horse drawn into the hills in england made out of chalk and it’s like 3,000 years old.

people carved trenches 3,000 years ago and filled them with chalk in the shape of a horse but what’s interesting is that if you fail to maintain the horse by adding new chalk regularly, it will disappear. for 3,000 years, we’ve been filling in chalk in this horse so it doesn’t disappear.

we’ll never know what the purpose of the horse was originally. we’ll never know if it had ritual or spiritual significance or if it was just art. but we do know that people maintained it then, and, even though the meaning of the horse has long been lost to time, we continue to maintain it now.

the people who made this horse are long dead, but they live through us still, don’t you think?

[batmanego]

couldn’t agree more we’re best friends now
