Men are more likely to die in a house fire or be killed in a workplace accident than be falsely accused of rape (3% of reports). You know what’s not rare? A woman being killed every 5 days & 1/3 experiencing SA in their lifetime & 1/4 men admitting to violence a/g female partner
These are the same people who think you are a terrorist for simply supporting Palestine meanwhile they want you to give benefit of the doubt to the pedophile capitalist elite
@MetamateDaz Hilarious? No it’s absolutely barbaric. They were not underaged prostituted they were trafficked and raped. Language like this downplays and normalises the atrocities. Do better.
Women dismissed and pushed aside. Told an illness is rare when in reality? Women’s healthcare isn’t looked into. It’s pushed aside. Dismissed as other things. Women are expected to endure pain in ways men are not. We must start listening to women.
I started to experience symptoms of Cushing’s disease at 24 (weight gain, insomnia, infections etc). I went to the drs for over a year before I pieced my own diagnosis together. I asked them to test for Cushing’s (extremely high cortisol caused by a tumour) …
What do you know I had high cortisol! A year more testing and I finally got my life saving brain surgery. When you look into Cushing’s (predominantly affects women) this story is the blueprint…
The Taliban have a truly brilliant plan for Afghanistan’s women: ban them from education past primary level, forbid them from universities, then slam the door shut on medical, nursing, and midwifery training as of late 2024. All while insisting that only female doctors & nurses can treat female patients, because decency and Islamic propriety demand strict gender segregation in healthcare.
Genius, really. What better way to “protect” women than to ensure that, within a few short years, there will be virtually no qualified Afghan women left to provide the very care their own rules require?
Male doctors cannot properly examine or treat women without risking violation of those same modesty rules and women often refuse or cannot access male providers anyway due to chaperone requirements and cultural barriers. So the Taliban have engineered a perfect catch-22: no male care allowed in practice and now no new female providers being trained either.
Existing female healthcare workers are ageing out, burning out, or fleeing the country if they can. Current female medical students were turfed out mid-training. Midwifery and nursing programmes, already scarce, are now closed entirely.
The predictable result? Skyrocketing maternal mortality, untreated gynaecological conditions, women dying in childbirth or from preventable complications because no female professional is available nearby and rural areas turning into death traps for half the population.
Yet the Taliban still claim this is all for women’s honour and protection. One might almost admire the sheer audacity of the hypocrisy, were it not costing thousands of lives. They have decided that female illiteracy, poverty and death are preferable to the horror of a woman learning how to read, work, or save another woman’s life.
It is not merely cruel, it is spectacularly self-defeating lunacy dressed up as piety.
The rest of the world watches, issues statements, and occasionally wrings its hands, while Afghan women pay the price for this masterclass in regressive logic.
The Taliban really are as stupid as they look.
@DocPriyamMD Also worth pointing out that these symptoms also line up with Cushing’s disease- another rare endocrine disorder that predominantly affects women and is massively under diagnosed but life threatening if untreated with surgery! (I had it at 25 years old!)
menstrual products cause bodily harm. toothpaste causes dental issues for women because it was designed for men specifically. Male baldness is studied more than endometriosis....They created a male birth control but pulled it when it was linked to cancer, & acne, hairloss, mood swings...yet women have been living with those same risks for decades. This is more than medicine; it's proof of a system that protects men's comfort while ignoring women's pain.
Chasing a defenceless terrified animal until it collapses in exhaustion and then gets ripped apart is not a "tradition" that should be practiced anywhere, and you are sociopathic if you enjoy it
I've come to understand that basic bitches are the cogs that keep society running. They are good and necessary. It's ok to have a life like this and like it. It's ok to be a basic bitch. I no longer harbor disdain for these people. I'm happy for them. I just don't want to hang out with them.
RIP to the victims at Brown, to the victims at Bondi Beach, and to Rob Reiner and to Michelle Reiner. Suffice it to say there is a serious global problem with young men that seems to be rapidly escalating that we dont have the means to address
I want to say something many will hate but it needs to be said. I have met Nigel Farage. I do not know him well but I know the world he moves in. We move in similar circles sometimes. The kind of private rooms and members clubs that most people in Britain will never see. I know how the rich speak about ordinary people. They laugh. They joke about how easy it is to wind you up. They know exactly which buttons to press. They know you are angry and tired and struggling and they know you want someone to blame. That is why they point at boats while they pick your pockets.
I did not grow up rich. I did not grow up in privilege. I understand struggle and the real world. But my life changed and now I see both sides. I sit with billionaires and politicians and decision makers and I hear conversations you never will. I know the truth. They do not care about you. They do not care about your future. They care about profit and control. They see ordinary people as tools or distractions. I am telling you this because I am tired of watching good people being manipulated.
Look at your life before Brexit and look at it now. Look at your shopping bills. Look at what food costs in Europe right now. Look at how much tax you pay on imports. Look at your wages and energy prices and mortgages. Look at the 10,000 NHS staff we lost when freedom of movement ended. Look at the ambulances that do not arrive. Look at nurses and teachers using food banks. Tell me honestly. Are you better off?
Nigel helped build the crisis you are living in. Then he pointed at immigrants and told you to blame them. That is the con. He pulled the UK out of the Dublin III agreement which means we cannot return asylum seekers to Europe anymore. He created the boat chaos then told you to panic about it. Someone who worked in immigration for more than ten years told me they saw it coming. It was planned. It is a strategy. And you are falling for it.
Now he wants austerity again. He wants to cut wages for young people. He wants to rip up workers rights. He wants private health insurance and a French style NHS where the rich get treated first and the poor get nothing. He wants you fighting each other so you never see who is robbing you. If you vote for him you are voting to destroy your own life. Not mine. Yours.
None of this affects me personally. I drink champagne with the people who control the money. I will be fine no matter what. Reform will not hurt me. Reform will hurt you. It will hurt your children. Your parents. Your future. I am telling you because I care. If I did not care I would stay silent and watch you suffer.
You think I am your enemy because I make you uncomfortable. I am not. Your enemy is the one who lies to you and blames the vulnerable while he empties your pockets.
Reform will not save you. Reform will finish you.
Think. Before they take everything.

Dear ladies never forget that: The same world that shames me for being a single mother also shames you for not being a mother and shames another woman for having too many children..lt shames one woman for having a child at the age of 19 because she's too young but also shames another for having at 36 because she's too old..lt shames a woman who marries young as well as the one who marries old..It shames women who don't have beautiful bodies and shames those who go under the knife to get the bodies. This world shames all women, not a single one of us is spared, not a single one. So love and make yourselves happy.
