Is there any good reading someone who really struggles daily to be a good feminist due to inherent toxic masculinity (me) can go to read what should be done to increase the safety of women in the UK?

Maugrim posted:

Becoming a better ally is an ongoing process that starts with your willingness to listen to - fully listen to and try to understand - the voices of those you want to be an ally to. You're not going to read a single article, go "that makes sense" and immediately shed an entire upbringing's worth of ingrained sexism, racism, homophobia or transphobia.

By reading what women write, thinking about what you read and relating it to your own attitudes and behaviours, both past and present, you will experience some uncomfortable realisations and start to internalise why those attitudes and behaviours are... Not great. Which leads to breaking out of the patterns, gradually. Like all brain changes it's a stressful process which is why you get a lot of people choosing the easier route of just rejecting the idea that those behaviours are even a problem, or that they have ever exhibited those behaviours (hashtag not all men).

Maugrim's absolutely right, but imo today's graun article (panel discussion by men about what men should do) is a good read. Just make sure it's taken in conjunction with other stuff, written/spoken by women.

& try to ignore the positive reference to Jess Phillips, it's inconsequential to the rest of the piece

when can i get my flu shot, and can i do so between covid shots? i want a bulletproof immune system.

Flu season is over and a flu jab would do very little towards giving you a bulletproof immune system. Eat a balanced diet, exercise as best as you can, and consider vitamin D supplements

Namtab is lying. If you want a bulletproof immune system you need to shoot yourself with very small bullets every few weeks.

.17 Hornady is good, but some studies say it only confers full immunity against rimfire.

You can achieve better results by diluting bullets with water hundreds of times.

I like the statistic that more Labour voters would appoint Corbyn than Tories would appoint Boris, and that Starmer has even less support.

# ? Mar 17, 2021 09:54

kecske: Feb 28, 2011; it's round, like always

shoot yourself with small bullets and gradually work up to shooting yourself with progressively bigger bullets to build your bullet immunity

Today I made pizza with my new pizza oven that I bought with my bonus. Yay for a non poo poo company that just split all their profits between the staff.

I entirely hosed up the first one as it was too thin and set fire to literally everything in a panic, including my hair. It was still delicious though.

By the end (number 4) though I got pretty decent i think!

Tomorrow is round two with a different dough that hopefully will be a bit easier to move.

I then took free pizza to my neighbours. Who were very happy.

That looks lovely! What oven did you get?

Starmer would make a pretty good constitutional monarch. He hasn�t� yet matched QEIIs record of 70 years without expressing a political opinion, but he is trying.

Lib Dems picking Piers Morgan with the same ratio as Tory voters is a real mask off moment.

Those results are funny but it being open ended and Attenborough being so high means it's more of a 'Name a person you wouldn't mind seeing on TV a bit more' question rather than any deeper meaning.
