BMI and how institutions relying on it has a negative effect on women and BIPOC:
Meanwhile…
BTW, I 100% agree that the standards unfairly take into consideration the wide variety of body types out there.

I am sick and tired of corporations that insist on having their logos all over buildings, products, and people’s uniforms, but when anything illegal or unethical happens they deny any responsibility. This has been raised before in past cases of sexual assault at fast food franchises, and it seems like the only thing that will get them to change policies is an inability to find anyone willing to work there:

Toxic masculinity rearing it’s ugly head.

Pregnancy has several possible outcomes. Murdered has always been one. Men have been socialized to marginalize women on this planet for a few thousand years. Toxic masculinity is part of that socialization. If the genetic father is predisposed to jealousy, accusations that he isn’t the father (brought by him) can’t be completely neutralized by the expectant mother, she is at risk of being murdered. The US makes the situation worse by rarely prosecuting “domestic violence” perpetrated by a man on a woman, while overzealously prosecuting woman on man “domestic violence”.
Welcome to America - it’s worse than you ever expected.

While the term is new to me, I graduated undergrad in '86, and this was a frat thing back then. And was just as horrifying as it is now. The only parts that shocks me is that I am really not shocked that it continues. Yeah, we suck. Damn, what the fuck is wrong with us??

For me, growing up in Kansas, I’d say it was a lack of even one single proper male role model (among the live people in my community).

It turns out that when female wizard characters take damage from magic, they make an “ahegao” facial expression.

This is what happens when women wizards are hit by magic. They orgasm, apparently, because I guess the pain feels good. Strangely, this only affects female characters. Males retain their stoicism even when taking damage.
