I Think More People On Radblr Should Be Talking About Sweatshops, Especially In The Garment Industry.

I think more people on radblr should be talking about sweatshops, especially in the garment industry.

• Around 80% of sweatshop workers are women. Some employers force them to take birth control and pregnancy tests to avoid having to pay for maternity leave. Pregnant women are routinely denied sick leave to visit doctors, terminated from their contracts early, or left without any maternity leave when their short-term contracts are not renewed.

• Women are more likely than men to experience minimum wage violations. According to one study, "30 percent of the women workers in our sample experienced minimum wage violations, compared to 20 percent of the men". [Source: https://www.nelp.org/publication/broken-laws-unprotected-workers-violations-of-employment-and-labor-laws-in-americas-cities/ ]

• Indonesian women employees report that “girls in the factory are harassed by male managers. They come on to the girls, call them into their offices, whisper into their ears, touch them, bribe them with money and threaten them with firing if they don’t have sex with them.” [source: cleanclothes.org]

• "Toilet breaks are monitored, and some workers said they were flat out denied them, even when sick. The same goes for water and lunch breaks, both necessary to stay healthy when working 12+ hour days in a stuffy, overcrowded factory." 20% of women in sweatshops report experiencing sexual violence.

It's easy not to support this kind of abuse. Do not buy clothes first-hand. Only buy from thrift shops and second-hand apps, or find ethical brands and investigate where and how they make their clothing (hint: if a t-shirt costs $3, it's not ethical). Patch your old clothes. Consider learning basic sewing (it's not as difficult as it seems!)

I don't care how cheap Shein and Temu are. I don't care how much you think you need that specific Zara coat. Buying clothes directly harms women and avoiding it is a very easy way to help.

I love how people gleefully remark on how 'Oh haha childhood traumas make adult kinks!' And no one thinks to say hey then maybe they're symptoms of trauma than encourage this shit.

Opinion on this?

Tbh I am against using barbie as an example of anything, because yes it is just a movie. I haven't watched it but I'm pretty sure the thing was just a giant advertisement. However, women are more likely to be leftist and anti-draft, that is true. If you want you can use real life matriarchical societies as examples to base opinions off of (such as these https://www.unearthwomen.com/5-matriarchal-societies-where-women-are-in-charge/).

I don't think female leaders were more likely to be warmongers though. I think this is based off of observing monarchies, because they were more likely to have female rulers during instability (kings were generally the default because of well, the way the patriarchy is), which leads to war often times. Monarchs in general were also more likely to be militaristic because they were just detached, male or female.

I think monarchies are shit regardless of the gender and no I don't think women are inherently peaceful or something. In fact, gender roles expecting women to be passive is a negative thing for women, especially in this society.

On the prison data part, um, idk man I looked into it and I couldn't find it. What is the sample even from?

I think Trump has been on his period these last two months

It's so demotivating to think about how gender double-sided the political system is; can you imagine what the media reaction would be if Clinton or Harris had been elected and had crashed the stock market, surrendered to Russia, spent millions of taxpayer money golfing at their own properties, and had flipped back and forward on tariffs and regional agreements with the America's most significant allies in the first two months? It's unthinkable.

Oh we do actually, but then yall also just say that's a red flag and terfy because it's talking about a female specific issue lmao

If JKR-fans and TERFs would talk about actual female genital mutilation as much as they talk about trans people, this world would be a better place

These are literally so accurate though as an engineering student holy shit There's a dude in my class who basically moans when he gets answers right in class and brags 24/7. Annoying is an understatement. Also hearing these men talk kinda condescendingly to the women in class is the worst feeling ever because I want to walk over and tell them off but it's also not appropriate so 😭

hardest part about studying stem is not the stem it's the fucking incel classmates thinking they're special and smart

like ok we can all solve differential equations but can you do that while being a decent person? mm yeah didn't think so

And the fact that it's "Ahh she could make fun of me" and the fears women have are about physical harm or sexual harassment. Yet the Woman or Tree is somehow more rational?

Weird.

The “would you rather tell your feelings to a woman or a tree” question men/meninists throw back in response to man vs bear proves that men can understand why someone would mistrust members of the opposite gender, given enough bad experiences with them. And assuming.

And assuming the men who ask this honestly feel they can’t trust women and aren’t just trying to retaliate, then they’re snowflakes for simultaneously mistrusting women in general and being offended that women mistrust men in general.

Ironic how they think women will hurt their feelings if they open up to them, btw, given how whenever we discuss misogyny and how it’s affected our view of the worlds and all a lot of men can do is preach: “Not all men!” or find some other way to insult us for being traumatized…
