"Medicare Advantage" is one of the great misrepresentations. Corporate insurers are exploiting the trusted Medicare name to privatize the system and deny folks their coverage, all while the federal government is overpaying Medicare Advantage providers. @MarkPocan, @RepSchakowsky, and I have a bill to stop this now.
@agarbagegrrl@inaoifeble women are also punished for seeking social/emotional support. it's not "brushing away" men's experiences to point out that women also have those experiences.
a lot of the responses here are along the lines of "their loneliness isn't worse but it is fundamentally different" and i gotta say that i still think that is straight up untrue and stems from this fallacious idea of siloed "male" and "female" socialization
there are women who hate to cry or express a desire to be loved just as there are men who embrace the full spectrum of emotion. as with most "differences" between sexes the area of overlap is significantly bigger than the area of exclusion
the fact that this supposed frailty and irrationality is associated with "femininity" doesn't mean that women are rewarded for it. it just means that they're prejudged, on the basis of sex assignment, to be guilty of it. for obvious reasons lots of women chafe against this
@juliemuncy23 i keep having companions interrupt me to yell at me for not taking them along on quests that they were 100% present for the entire time. like i'm having fun and all but the game is glitchy as hell.
