There's an unspoken racial element to the removal of gas stoves.

If you need to cook with a wok for 15 minutes or char some peppers, you're destroying the environment. But if you need to run an electric oven for an hour to bake a pie or casserole and create 10x the carbon footprint, you're saving the environment.

And no, woks don't work as well on induction, unless you have those spherical induction stoves that aren't available outside of China. And an oven broiler is no where as good for charring peppers.

Edit: Love it when people who don't even own a wok will try to explain your own ethnic cuisine to you, whitewash the kitchen, and then pretend to be concerned about your health when it's always been about control.

I'm from Hong Kong, which statistically has the longest lifespan in the world. We use gas stoves just fine. Stop pretending that it's anything other than the lack of universal healthcare that's killing you.

This privileged CEO thinks what she does is 'work' when she never as to work a day in customer service.

I'm afraid AI written books are being published and put into library shelves too.

Women: socialized from a young age to uphold beauty standards or else be treated worse for being 'ugly'

Men: 6 in 1 shampoo go brrr

What if instead of treating people at an arbitrary age as 'adults' as if their age and maturity grants them freedom that absolves everyone else's concern for their wellbeing, we treat everyone like people who are deserving of basic necessities and help, no matter their age and circumstances?

According to the CDC, 1 in 5 women are mistreated during maternity care in the US. 1 in 3 if you're Black or Hispanic. 45% of pregnant women are held back from asking questions or sharing concerns.

Birthing mothers are frequently deprived of self-agency. When a woman gives birth, everyone starts assuming they know what's best for her without ever asking for her opinion or consent.

If you know about the husband stitch, or how women are made give birth while reclined for the doctor's convenience, or how frequently women's complaints of abnormal pain are dismissed, or how often women are yelled at while in labour, or they are threatened and withheld treatment, or how little their privacy is respected, you would know why women are turning to home births.

This isn't an issue of women being silly and brainwashed on social media. Women are being actively failed by a medical system that refuses to treat them like people and not just walking uteruses.

Everyone like to talk about how stupid women are dying in childbirth to preventable causes, and yet no one wants to talk about how suicide due to post-partum depression is a leading cause of death in the perinatal period.

So before you belittle women for choosing a home birth, ask them what kind of shit they have been through at a hospital that they would rather risk death than go back there again.

Calling out the systems discrimination of girls and women with ADHD symptoms isn't knocking others down. That's like treating feminism as a personal attack on you because speaking up about women's issues is an act of putting men down.

Think of how little leniency you get as a boy with ADHD. Now think about how girls and women don't even get that, and are even more frequently punished for 'acting out' their ADHD symptoms due to a failure to conform to their gender roles.

There are many widely cited studies proving the prevalence of underdiagnosis of girls with ADHD, partly because the guidelines are decades old and derived from studies that deliberately excluded girls.

We also don't give Adderall to people with ADHD.

Girls used to be diagnosed 25x less often than girls, now it's only 3x less often. ADHD occurs at the same rates between genders. Girls are just more heavily conditioned and disciplined into gender conforming behavior, which involves sitting still, being quiet, paying attention, and 'behaving well'. Girls with ADHD symptoms are treated as troublesome kids, without the leniency towards boys with ADHD.

This doesn't cure girls of ADHD, it just makes them internalize their suffering at the cost of their mental health. Speaking as a woman who wasn't diagnosed and medicated until my late 20s.

Go by weight. If you have two bundles that have the same number of rolls, the heavier one either has more or thicker squares.

If you don't understand how it feels to need subtitles, try listening to a yanny/laurel video and see if you're able to hear both.

For us folks with auditory processing disorders, it's like the rest of the world hears yanny while we hear laurel. Without subtitles, we are simply incapable of parsing the sound as yanny.

I like how you have no issues with everyone else presuming OP's gender given the prevalence of heterosexuality, but as soon as a woman does it in a majority male forum like Lemmy, you start mentally breaking down.

I hope you overcome your incel tendencies, learn to stop grasping at straws, and accept that what ever hate you have towards women is unfounded and a product of your delusions.

You're simpler than you think you are. Explosive temper in your response, grasping at straws and deflecting, calling women bitchy on a stranger's word.

Some therapy could help with that. Feel sorry for yourself first before feeling sorry for others.
