Shot my shot with the cute Stasi agent who wiretapped my apartment in Berlin, she thought I was a western dissident and reported me to her commander in the Felix Dzerzhinsky Regiment
Some bullshit with sauce
You can be a tattooed, deep-voiced, "manly" combat veteran who also goes to therapy and shows up for his neighbors. Those two things go completely hand-in-hand.
And I think it's important to have people who can show that, instead of a vision of masculinity that's hardened, shut off, and angry.
@p3achcakegirl Would you accept this excuse if someone killed your whole family and stole their shit to get out of poverty? Would it be privileged to say that person should be jailed?
@MikeyMacDee@dqveed You could easily google. In my country alone, there are orgs like AWIMAR, which advocates for increased women's representation in mining. BHP, a mining company, committed to increased gender parity and saw success there. Sector wide introductions of new.
@MikeyMacDee@dqveed Your claim implied there were virtually no women in the sector. Now, hearing that they constitute a sizeable portion of the workforce, you move the goalpost and act as if its irrational to even mention that.
@BerserkerBoy13@dqveed Yea, and you still have it better than 99% of the planet who suffer to provide Americans with all the comforts of 21st-century life. Then you watch videos of people from the third world doing gruelling labour for slave wages and use it to boost your own masculine ego.
@MikeyMacDee@dqveed 15%-25% of industrial mining workers are women.
30% of workers in artisinal mining where conditions are often horrendous) are women.
@BerserkerBoy13@dqveed It's nice that men like these guys get to struggle through their lives, and you get to bask in reflected glory and romanticise the life of a hard worker all while sitting on your fat American ass with all the comforts living in the 1st world gives you.
@M1Jester@dqveed Hardly any Americans in general work in coal mining. Some countries have workforces that are now a quarter women because they've been implementing initiatives to bring women in.
@ttrition@dqveed Lmao, they pay good because conditions are shit? By logic that sweatshop workers and Congolese cobalt miners must be getting amazing salaries. The salaries must be so good, in fact, that kids are choosing to get into the business instead of going to school.
@ttrition@dqveed Exploited by their bosses, you dullard. It's clear the conditions are dangerous and poor from their rudimentary tools and insufficient safety equipment. This is definitely a cheap operation when they are using pack animals. It's practically a given they'd be paid shit wages.
