BioEnchanted posted:I think what they are trying and completely failing to get across is that when a woman says she was raped after being coerced into sex she is more often believed, but when a man says the same thing when the genders are reversed it's just considered "Getting laid". A few romantic comedies have mirrored this ugly side of things, most infamously in 40 days and 40 nights (In which a guy goes without masturbating for the alotted time) and when he is raped by his female friend shortly before he wins the bet, his girlfriend gets mad at him for cheating on her. It is literally legal to rape men in quite a few places. (You might get charged with assault, if anyone actually gave a gently caress)

It's a great example of how systemic patriarchal issues negatively affect men as well, but then they steer their ire towards women instead because MRAs are loving retarded.

As a feminist and woman, this is horrible. We should change the laws to reflect reality - that coerced or forced sex is rape no matter who the survivor is. We can join together to end rape of all kinds, in mutual protection and support. Edit: I know you guys know this. I just think it bears repeating.

Anti-feminist nerds always make this argument as if feminists never address it, when really feminists do address it. They just don't like that feminists don't think the root cause is women objectifying men. It's like they think unrealistic ideals for both men and women being patriarchal is impossible, everything has to be men vs women. They seriously throw around bodybuilder physiques like He-Man and Schwarzenegger as examples of men being sexualized, it's ridiculous.

Oh, people have tried. It never goes well. Either your store gets shut down for 'repairs' or your job automates in a way that removes you as a necessity like a deli switching to pre packaged meat.

Aramek posted:Occurrences sounds way nicer than "demerits". it sounds creepy as hell to me, reminds me of that Occurrence on Owl Creek Bridge or whatever that short story was where the dude gets hanged at the end. Also why does an occurrence have to be a bad thing? "Sorry Gary, but we can't give you the promotion because you have too many...occurrences...on your record". "Oh you mean like all those times that occurred where I was helping people and smiling and getting great customer reviews and generally doing a good job? Those occurrences?" Plus being tardy is more of a non-occurrence isn't it? As in, "Sorry I didn't occur on time for work, boss" ninja e: apparently this is common but somehow I'd never heard of it before. Oh well, carry on.

Not 100% sure about that. There's also that time they ran to the FBI to spy on people trying to unionize their stores, on top of that training video that just gives blatant lies about 'unions taking a piece of your paycheck every month for who knows what reason' for example. If there's a 'bitch about corporations' thread anywhere, I'd love to know, because I don't wanna derail this one and get LOB'd

At-will is the less worker friendly version of the two. It's essentially "can fire for really any reason" legal protection for the employers.

Here in Florida :quote:Generally speaking, these laws prohibit making it a job requirement that someone be a union member -- i.e. employers can hire nonunion members (as well as union members). Florida has such a law on the books in its Constitution, which states that employees’ right to bargain collectively through a labor union shall not be denied or abridged. It should be noted that Florida's constitution also denies state employees the right to strike. Right to work in a nutshell Here we also are an "at will" employer quote:which means that you or your employer can terminate your employment relationship for a good reason, bad reason, or no reason at all. It leaves the door wide open on both sides. So yeah we are kinda like WOOOOO  herethanks voldemort.

I think you'll find this problem was caused by women-lead drives to extend child support, The "toxic masculinity" poo poo is a smoke screen. I'm sure women-lead activist groups will be getting on this issue any time soon (other than to suggest it's good for boys to be raped so they know what happens to women, that's already a pretty popular opinion) For a group that claims to support self-determination for women, feminists sure do shy away from any actual punishment when a women does something as horrible as molesting a child.

The close the whole store, which effectively fires everyone who might have agreed with the trouble maker as well. It also puts the person trying to unionize in the position of being the reason all his friends are now unemployed, which is a nice extra social deterrent!

This poo poo, man Sometimes someone is so attractive you put up with their poo poo. I dated this absolute knock out after dumping the ex but she had a crazy ex herself who called like 50 times in a row when we were having dinner until she finally answered and told him to leave her alone. Said she would get home sometimes and he would be in her house waiting for her. He even tried to add me on facebook. I commented on a selfie once and he commented the same thing I said then kept deleting his comment and writing something else. It would pop up every day or two that she added him as a friend, one of them was deleting the other and adding back. I didn't really wanna end up stabbed or something so I stopped pursuing her. He obviously wasn't the only crazy one. I'm not so self centered as to think this is about me but god drat it. tl;dr obviously anyone who shares the like of this is loving crazy
