I once worked for a Muslim, probably the only time I have actually experienced genuine sexism, was an interesting experience

Muslim men do tend to have quite low views of women. One of the only occasions I agree with feminism on sexism, not that they focus on it like, at all

By sexism I mean directed at me specifically

To be against Muslims would be sexism

:/

Racism***

He was an ass, I didn’t like him at all

The thing is, I think feminism has bought into the racism thing so much they are completely blind to the attitude other cultures (such as Islam) hold against women in general

Sexism against women hardly exists in the western world. If they really wanted to fight against it then they'd aim their view toward other cultures

What do you think regarding that @Abbysol?

Yeah, I agree, it was annoying, because I get social anxiety I preferred being up the back stocking the alcohol, the boxes where never that heavy but women don’t lift, so he got the scrawny 15 yo high school boys to do it, that annoyed me especially when I was already half way through the job, he would legit come out with one of the boys and tell me I couldn’t do that xD

Not like I was doing groundskeeping before that job or anything

Oof, yea, not like you could do it! Noooo, women are all fragile little things who can't do Fuck all >.<

It's confusing how feminists rotate from basically that opinion and insisting that women are strong, independant, and don't need no man

Like ummm... Pick one

@InsaneCaterpilla I suffer with ideation very frequently but i don't think legalising it would make me want to do it any more or less. For me it's more about the current dread and weight of life. Some days I'm ok some days it's just a constant level of hopelessness, dread and regret. I think opting out would still feel as shameful. Although part of me wonders if there were "suicide pods" or whatever maybe there would be enough change in the conversation.

That being said i agree with a right to sue for the terminally ill but i think it shouldn't be extended to mental health

Ideation? I suffer from depression too

Well half the time I have "flashes" that I can't control where I watch myself do it. But other days it's more voluntary to think about.

Dying isn't a bad thing. I think it's a hurdle to overcome. It always happens, when doesn't matter

I'm half playing devils advocate rn

That's fair. I know there are definitely arguments for it but I think that's a Pandoras box is rather not open. I just focus on silly things like survival skills and prepping. It's a good way to remind yourself that you actually do want to live. Plus zombies are a never ending genre

That's what I meant before by saying it makes you more open to talking about death with others. Make it something not taboo and people will feel comfortable doing it.

Did you see the video of the woman at dignitas?

No

I think it should be in place for people who are terminally ill or in constant medical pain, however I think to get approved you need to have lead up sessions is a psychiatrist and they are the ones who get the final say.

She's a hilarious old lady who just ate a bunch of chocolate as she fell asleep

What a great way to go. Eat awesome chocolate and sleep

@Abbysol the problem with assuming that someone wants to die must mean they have a mental disorder, is that it's completely untrue

Life is hard

It's ok to end it

Hmm. That i don't know

That life isn't hard?

Maybe not a mental disorder but definitely a lack of coping strategies

Just because your opinion is that life is good, doesnt make it easier for those others who it generally causes pain

Which shouldn't just make suicide a viable option

I mean it will be someone who can assess that there is hope for the future and you are just having a down, or if pain and suffering will continue so they can help you go down the right avenues to make it as little pain and less stress possible.

There isn't always hope. There isn't always a future. Your argument presupposes that

I didn't say life is good. It's definitely not easy. That doesn't mean you can't cope or find strategies for coping

I know, I am saying that it is someone who can honestly and unbiasedly say if it is really the most humane option or not

If life really isn't easy, then that means it is a foregone conclusion that some people will be unable to cope

My argument assumes life is unknown. You can't know it's going to be good but you can't know it's going to be bad either
