Yh same. I checked the list to find out

Fair enough

people are weird

Yh. Don't know why he left

Maybe they just come to get a sense of the community but don't really care one way or another to stick around

Yeah. But a lot of the people joining today have stayed I reckon. It's pretty cool to see the server growing

absolutely

I hope this is an accurate reflection of the movement

Having been to marches I can say that it matches the people I've met. Most are nice normal people. People aren't afraid to say what they think.

and there are definitely strong opinions but for the most part people are fairly mixed in a good way.

Much welcomes to all of the people ❤

Yeah, I think this movement is heavily criticised even tho most of the people in it are non extreme decent people

is not just heavily criticized, its lied about

Well if the group was what anti-Mrms say it is then I certainly wouldn’t be here.

So I think we are on the right track 😃

Yeah definitely

I love when feminists tell me that the MRM hates women and don’t stand for anything other then hating women and then accuse me of knowing nothing about feminism... she stopped responding to me but I did get downvoted a bit xD

Haha

Pretty sure I used to be a better Feminist then most of those keyboard warriors anyway, back when I volunteered at Zonta, I helped make the birthing kits they would send over to 3rd world countries, something you don’t hear much about anymore because they get so enveloped in the dumb shit these days

birthing kits?

Isn't it funny how that is? So many people believe the MRM hates women, but they will jump down your throat at the implication that perhaps they hate men

Yeah. Sounds like you actually tackled real issues instead of being worried about men opening their legs not to crush their manlihoods

Well I looked into Zonta lately and they are just as feminist as the rest of them, took me a while to find the page for that program, the birthing kits where basically blankets, antibiotics, antiseptics and a few other things like formula, stuff like that, it was a while ago now.

Interesting. My mother went back to university to train as a midwife. I'm always somewhat interested in medicine and public health

She's had a horrible time of doing the course though. It truly is the definition of a toxic environment. But that's really a different story

That's not good to hear, is it any better now

It's not great but it's not a bad as it was. She ended up starting two different investigations into two different hospitals and training going on.

She's probably one of the oldest people training in the country, and my Dad has helped a lot by going to meetings and seeing the bulshit they've pullled

Glad to hear there is action being taken

It seems to be a systemic thing though. One hospital is bad luck, two is a pattern. My ex GF was also training to be a midwife but quit because of the bullying and when there was a national story a few months back about a major incident in a london hospital that happened due to miscommunication I would say it's leaning towards a systemic issue

These investigations should hopefully help put a dent in the issue though

Hopefully, but this is only individual hospitals. It's not made it to a national consciousness yet. It's made harder given the demographic. Women working with young mothers and babies. How could they ever be mean /s

Well spending time in hospitals you could see it wasn’t good, the nurses get really bitchy with each other with head nurse usually being the worst

There seems to be a lot of corruption in caretaking in general, there's a lot of elder abuse in old folks' homes as well

Did I ever tell you about the time where the nurses gave me dirty looks when I cleaned my dads balls for him because no one was cleaning him... also bringing him clean undies every week gets expensive because no one would help him wipe his bum

No. That's fucked up

That's awful

I get that it's a stressful job, it probably has some negative mental impacts, but that's not okay

I'm in favor of caretakers and police getting regular mental evaluations

Well once when I wasn’t there he tried to wipe himself and burst his stitches and got blood and lymph fluid all over the floor, was sitting the buzzing for the nurses for about 15 minutes because an angry nurse came in to yell at him for buzzing so much
