@TheOmniZaddy I met lots of 20-something Esthers in Nigeria.

@Macita0107 Nebenbei Candy Crush spielen!

@thisone0verhere In quite a few companies in Germany, that's totally a thing. At my last workplace we did that 2-3 times a year and it counted as part of work.

@p8stie I taught German in the Philippines for some time and had some colleagues who settled there permanently. They were pretty normal.

@MsNemah @ulxma It's hilarious how so many of them boil down to "if women vote, men will have to take care of children and the household". So men are afraid of this kind of life but want to subject women to it? If anything, that's an argument for remaining childfree and automation of housework.

@Mirakulixa Kleinmörsern, mit Wasser vermischen und ins Fell schmieren? Meine putzen sich dann sofort und nehmen es so auf.

@ABeardedPanda I literally met people in Uganda who didn't even have a flush toilet in their home but still employed servants. Westerners underestimate how cheap labour is in some parts of the world.

[Charlotte Meyn @CharlotteMeyn1]

@ABeardedPanda Read a thread by Nigerians immigrating to the UK who complained that full time maids were unaffordable there. Those were nurses and physiotherapists etc. Not super rich. In those countries u can get a maid for less than 20$ a month + room & board. Enough desperate people around.

@intentionalisms And it's supposed to go by intelligence but everyone knows it actually goes by your parent's background. I went to a Gymnasium and it was basically a ton of upper middle class kids and a few exceptionally bright working class kids.

@its_daqueen If they want to be a warrior why are they not joining the army instead of tweeting.

@EllyArrow The other extreme: Celebrating female feedee onlyfans models. Saying they're empowering and body positive. I'm all for body positivity, I'm plus sized myself, but weighing 600 lbs, being immobile and dying early because some dudes think it's sexy is NOT an empowering choice.

[Charlotte Meyn @CharlotteMeyn1]

@EllyArrow I once read that anorexics should not be hospitalized or persuaded to get any treatment. They should be informed about the health consequences, including possible death. If they still continue, they should be left alone, even if they die, because it's their choice.

@The_x_Dami Also, why is the husband forced to marry another wife just cause his wife has fertility issues? Women aren't incubators.

@raulde Ich bin in den 2000ern Teenie gewesen und damals gab es in den (Boulevard-)Medien und der Gesellschaft viel mehr Fatshaming, Queerfeindlichkeit, Frauenfeindlichkeit. Sowas wie den "Mom Jeans" Vorfall von Jessica Simpson (zb) gäbe es heute nicht mehr, glaube ich.

@dementedkirby @DanielJones9417 @socdarling Or this Japanese guy who yodels and sings traditional Bavarian music. https://t.co/y7oNBQrH4X

@TanjaSagt Meine Eltern haben mir das tbh auch nicht wirklich beigebracht. Ich habe bis heute nicht so wahnsinnig viel Interesse daran zu putzen und habe eine Putzfrau eingestellt. Wieso fällt das solchen Männern nicht ein? Wieso erwarten sie, dass die Partnerin das umsonst macht?

Am #1Mai #TagDerArbeit daran erinnern, dass Beschäftigte in Behindertenwerkstätten nicht als Arbeitnehmer gelten und somit keinen Mindestlohn erhalten und auch kein Streikrecht für bessere Bedingungen haben.

@7aseva7 Ich komme eigentlich aus Rheinland-Pfalz, verdränge das aber. Details breite ich nicht auf Twitter aus.

@mesmorisedmocha @heinzsight2020 And don't forget there are parts of the world where this is normal until today.

@SandraMusterfr Hatte eine Mitschülerin aus einem Arbeiterhaushalt, die die Klassenlehrerin in der 2. Klasse auf die Förferschule schicken wollte (mMn aus persönlicher Antipathie). Sie ist dann mit Hauptschulempfehlung auf einer Gesamtschule gelandet, hat ein 2er-Abi gemacht und dann Bachelor.
