You people....never stop....like evangelical Christians that think Monster Energy has satanic messaging. This can arguably be a public safety issue for pedestrians, but it is certainly not a gender issue. And even if it is a gender issue that doesn't make it sexist in any way shape or form. Unless of course anything that disproportionately impacts women is sexist. In which case, affirmative action is sexist, and pregnancy is sexist, and breast cancer is sexist. Of course that term isn't helpful to describe patterns that affect genders differently, which is why nobody uses it that way.

>Unfortunately, the reality is that in some sectors, in order to feed your family, some people may find themselves required to put up with illegal abuses of power in order to be allowed to keep their jobs, or face other barriers that limit them unfairly.

That's the reason behind my sentiment.

Actually what people need to do is look out for themselves and their families. Nobody gets their rent paid this month because they were morally progressive. Actually we have very little responsibility towards one another, as evidenced by the fact that our moms were the last people to pay a bill or solve a problem for us.

You have kids in school today who lost a year of instructional time, are graduating into historic inflation and a recession, who can't afford a house, who likely will struggle to make good on their college investments....but people think they "need" to learn about something beyond what puts money in their pocket. It's a really pathetic ideology to think that anyone "needs" a religion or philosophy. If you are living on your own and working you don't need a damn thing more than the skills you sell to an employer. Because nobody is giving you jack shit in return.
