“but what if you abort the baby who’ll cure cancer?!” sir the baby who will cure cancer is an organic chemistry major who works at a Home Depot because you use AI to go through your resumes

One of the most annoying genres of people on the internet are people who act like they believe science is one single monolithic thing. Like, you'll see an article saying something like "scientists studying the movement of tectonic plates", and then in the comments there'll be several smug people saying "smh why are scientists doing this instead of finding a cure for cancer", like. Why would a geologist be doing that.
I think it would be funny to conspiracy post about Staten Island
I can improve on it
Brutal scenes playing out in real time
The fact that most women don't know or have any survival, tech skills isn't cute or funny, it's actually scary and terrifying how we've been forced to rely on men to run society by not having these skills. Femininity is a trap, reject it now.
Here’s something to chew on.

In case you wanna read the article this quote is from: http://rolereboot.org/culture-and-politics/details/2016-05-daughter-know-ok-angry/
Adaptable girls find socially acceptable ways to internalize or channel their discomfort and ire, sometimes at great personal cost. Passive aggressive behavior, anxiety, and depression are common effects. Sarcasm, apathy, and meanness have all been linked to suppressed rage. Troublesome behaviors, such as lying, skipping school, bullying other people, even being socially awkward are often signs that a teenager is dealing with anger that they are unable to name as anger.
Girls, taught to ignore their anger, become disassociated from themselves.
Anger is so successfully sublimated that girls lose the ability to understand what it feels and looks like. Is her heart racing? Does she feel flushed or shaky? Does she clench her jaws at night? Is she breaking out in hives? Does she cry for no reason? Laugh inappropriately during difficult conversations? Fly off the handle over something that seems inconsequential? You can see where I’m going here…those crazy girl hormones, right? Better to just think of it as a phase.
For too many women, however, the phase never ends. It’s lives spent never expressing anger at all and believing that they don’t have the right or ability to do so without great risk.

Sexism physically changes your brain- same as learning a musical instrument, except the changes are even more severe
I’m glad this was released but I expect they’d find the same outcome with any form of lifelong chronic stress.
Yeah we already knew this about chronic stress , but what had to be proven explicitly was that women are stressed by misogyny.
Because. Men.
Self-defense laws were written for men. This is how they fail women who fight back.
Absolutely brilliant article.
It's about how the unaddressed sexism in 17th century based self-defense law leaves abused women vulnerable in the criminal justice system. Domestic violence victims who's Danger Assessment score indicates they are at severe to extreme risk of being murdered by their abuser do not have the reasonable human right to kill in self-defense or defense of their children because in law, only men are allowed to kill to protect themselves - women's survival and self-defense is criminalized and severely punished.
The one and only option given to women who's lives are in active danger is to end up as a femicide statistic. However, some do not, which leads us here. Rachel Louise Snyder tells the stories of incarcerated women guilty of homicide who've recieved no mercy, facing the harshest punishments the justice system can impose: twenty, fifty years, life in prison without parole, even the death row. She shows how society and the justice system has abysmally failed and continues to fail and punish victims of domestic violence who against all odds manage to survive.
The study this article is based on is recent, published in 2024. No national data existed on the number of women who are incarcerated for killing their abusers beforehand, so this is the first report of this scale that has been made (at the suggestion of Rachel Louise Snyder herself) and an important first step in addressing systemic sexism.
It's part of The Stanford Criminal Justice Center's Regilla Project, which aims to examine the so called female "abuse-to-prison" pipeline, how suffering domestic violence is a major factor leading women to commit crimes. This article summarizes the most important findings and conclusions as well as being touching and emotional.
If you're interested in feminist issues and the continued fight for women's legal rights and protection, domestic violence statistics, or systemic inequality and discrimination in the justice system, then this is an absolute must-read
women will say "i really hate that men murder and rape us" and then men go "WOWWWW all this gender war nonsense like why are you always starting arguments......lets just get along omg"

Article:
These women thought they could finally break free from their convicted abusers. They didn’t expect it’d come with a price tag.
The whole “if the sexes were reversed” argument makes me crazy. Women materially contribute to their husband’s careers. This is an actual, established-by-studies fact of the world we live in. Married men make more money than single men and spend more time on their careers, at least in part because they spend significantly less time on housework than single men. Decades of time use data shows this. Married women, on the other hand, make less money than single women and spend almost an extra workday every week on housework, even if they don’t take the massive hit to their career that is pregnancy and child rearing.
The argument for alimony for women is that women make major sacrifices of their own earning potential when they get married, especially but not only when they have children, while boosting their husband’s earning potential significantly. Which means morally a chunk of his income is actually her money, and she’s entitled to take it with her when she leaves. The same is almost never true for men; every woman I know with a high powered career has built it with no help and in many cases active sabotage from her husband.
Woman: does absolutely nothing to change her appearance. Leaves it alone; forgets all about it.
Everyone: So we noticed you're trying very hard to look like a man,
When women fall out of line, when they are ugly, impolite, unpolished - that’s their „true“ self exposed.
But when men do evil, again and again, that’s not them. It’s an accident, it’s intoxication, it’s provoked, or it’s simply not relevant since their victim dares to be a woman.
This shows up in beast wife/beast husband folklore (some of the oldest stories in the world).
For beast wives, almost always, the beast form is her true form, or it comes from within. Her human form is a facade. (Think: selkie stories, the little mermaid, the crane wife)
For men, the best form is temporary, coming from outside themselves, usually in the form of a curse. His human form is his true self. (Think: the beauty and the beast)
For men, true love returns them to human form. For the women, pain, imprisonment, obligation, or very hard work keeps them human.
