Not enough unfortunately. We are still debating sending weapons like the Taurus system, because Russia could get mad at us (like with the tanks and the planes and everything else we already delivered after long discussions and delays).

It's for the event of a shooting and the class being stuck for hours in the classroom. Since you can't use the toilets for obvious reasons then, students, that need to take a piss, can do it in the litterboxes.

You are aware, that masturbation without porn is possible, right?

Well, the male domestic abuse victim is probably laughed at, because he is the strong powerful man and should therefore not be able to get abused by the weak woman. The same for male rape victims: man like sex and always want sex and therefore they can't be raped, because they like it. These stereotypes are a problem and feminism is trying to get rid of them. It will take some time to redefine the societal picture of man and woman.

These jobs do not pay well, so they already struggle to find anyone to work those.

Jobs heavily dominated by women are not well-paying jobs, so no one cares. Are there even countries that have quota for women outside of executive positions and politics?

To be fair, men will lose privileges. Before they had to compete only with other men for that juicy executive position. Now they also face women, lowering their chance to get the job. That's just one example and it is absolutely necessary for this to happen.

As a scientist, it is tremendously important for us, that people trust our science. We saw, what happens, if enough neglect science with Covid and now climate change. Scientists like her, who stray from their area of expertise and report false facts, just damage our reputation. I mean, you seem to have a pretty bad opinion of scientists.
Of course people can make mistakes. That's actually a fundamental principle of science to be wrong a lot. It's how you handle these mistakes, that matters. Adapt your views to the new information, do not stick to wrong facts, because you don't like to admit, that you were wrong.
The problem with people like her is, that they gain trust by making videos about topics, where they are very knowledgeable. Then they use this trust for other content and they do not put any disclaimer about that in it. So people who watch it and are not knowledgeable in the topic of the video think, that they will get the same quality. But they don't. We have enough misinformation swirling around, we don't need more published by reputable persons.
You write yourself, that she describes stuff in a way, that you can understand it. But how do you judge, if she explains a topic correctly according to the current state of science, if you have no clue about it yourself? She could just bullshit you on every video without you knowing.

Her video on nuclear reactors was awful. She just neglected facts, that didn't fit her narrative.

I would say, that one of the biggest flaws of democracy is, that you have an election period of a few years. Every project, that will pay of later than these few years will not get you reelected. That incentivizes short term over long term projects. Why build a bridge, that takes 10 years to build, if you can use the money to pay out higher pensions during your term? Why try to fix the demographic problem, if that will only hit the country after your term? Why improve education, if the students, that profit from that are not eligible to vote in the next election?

Did you follow the last elections in the Netherlands? A right populist party with only 1 member just won it and one of his policies is to change, that the law is equal for everyone.
All of these countries have right-wing populist movements. In Sweden it's the Sweden Democrats, who are second in polls. Finland also just elected a right-wing government including the right populist party Finns. Every time right-wing governments come into power, that include far right parties, they slowly chip away at the base of democracy: electing judges, that share their views, weakening the balance of power and so on.
I mean, Germany tried to learn from the time of national socialism to strengthen it against the takeover of anti-democratic parties. Yet, German democracy is still vulnerable if the AfD comes into power.

Then no true democracy according to your definition exists.
I do not have a better suggestion.
