People are pulling out their eyelashes with twesers because the infection makes them grow inward.
Wow
Judging by this leaflet, this is one sexist infection - it only affects girls. They literally have a pair of tweezers on a necklace and it says "It's what all the girls are wearing these days"
Man that sucks
I wonder why it would prefer girls
It doesn't, that's the thing
Correction - it is said to affect women more, due to increased contact with children.
Ah ok
However, that's adult women
The leaflet focuses on young girls - and there is no difference at that age.
So it's still neglecting boys. 😛
Apparently adult women are affected four times as much as men - however, that doesn't tell us if there are more women than men.
I don't understand all of that believe women stuff
It's kind of an emotional apeal
We have an instinct to protect women, and that sidelines men.
But sometimes they make up fakse accusations
They do. It's another kind of emotional appeal
Shouldn't we side with caution and believe the accused until they are proven guilty?
We need total fairness in courts.
Correction: I misread you
Sorry
We need to side with neither
But even outside of court we shouldn't just believe that accuser
Not the accuser or the accused
It needs to be a case of not believing or disbeliving
You stay impartial, in other words
You can stay impartial but I tend to believe the accused until proven otherwise
Because the damage down by not believing them is so horrible
Innocent until proven guilty
Yes, absolutely, innocent until proven guilty is important - but it needs to apply both ways.
We don't automatically take either side because either side could be wrong - or lying
If we start to take the side of the accused, what happens is this whole thing becomes a pendulum swinging the other way. It'll swing hard in favour of the accused, and then the accuser, and then back. What we really need is for the pendulum to stop, or the next generation will be fighting to swing it the other way.
That's my take on it anyway.
Ah, sorry if I came over a bit 'super hard-core debating mode @Uberduperdrew , I've been debating too much recently. Lol.
So how is @everyone tonight? Are we all doing good?
Sick
Flu I guess?
It is the season. I think Blue orange is down with it too.
I'm glad I got a flu shot
