:south_dakota: **A white poet and a Sioux doctor fell in love after Wounded Knee – racism and sexism would drive them apart**
"_I came to understand that their marriage failed not only because of interpersonal tensions and a clash of values, but also because of some of the ways in which ideas about gender, race and Indigenous identity were rapidly changing in the U.S._"

I'd like to exist for a day in social media without having to throw down academic resources to correct some man's ridiculous bullshit about rape statistics.
Just a single day.

* This toot brought to you by the man on YouTube who posted to talk about how he as a man has never had to share his location with friends to be safe, but women feel they have to do this all the time. Followed up with the statement "now, just because the world is safer now than it used to be, does that mean that women are relying on statistics? No, they're relying on experiences, and that's ok too".
A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson
Man is a creature who lives not upon bread alone, but principally by catchwords; and the little rift between the sexes is astonishingly widened by simply teaching one set of catchwords to the girls and another to the boys.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1881), “Virginibus Puerisque, Part 2”

every year, the annual Nobel Penis Party Prize IGNORES important and valuable contributions from women, but now they say that AI must receive Nobel Prizes where appropriate?? WTFH??
Goddammit. I was so excited about the #Ladybird Browser project.
Turns out project lead Andreas Kling has a lot of braindead public takes about pronouns, Charlie Kirk, and white replacement in tech 🤢
I'm not touching that anymore until he's replaced and they put in place a proper contribution policy and code of conduct.
That leaves us with @servo and Flow Browser as alternatives to Chrome and Firefox. (Anyone have any damning news on those? 😨 )
Thanks to @sir for pointing this out.

Women portrayed as younger than men online, and AI amplifies the bias
https://phys.org/news/2025-10-women-portrayed-younger-men-online.html
> U.S. Census data shows no systematic age differences between men and women in the workforce over the past decade. And globally, women on average live about five years longer than men. But that's not what you'll see if you search Google or YouTube or query an AI like ChatGPT.
It shouldn’t take undercover journalists to expose policing’s sexist and racist culture
> The Met has seen several high profile cases of police misconduct in recent years.
Y'know a lot of people pop up during any of these migrations, loudly claiming to be some oppressed minority, totally not being paid by big centralized corporate social networks to scare people away from the Fediverse, and they all say basically the same thing:
1) The Fediverse is full of persecution of said minority
2) Said minority has been attacked here and driven away, but protected and defended on centralized corporate networks (even when they're not)
3) Frame everything as if the minority is an identity you must embrace that makes everyone else an unwelcome outsider.
4) Heavy implications that the people programming the Fediverse are doing this on purpose
5) The only solution is totalitarian control to make sure nobody's allowed to be mean, which conveniently can only be done by the centralized corporate networks
Not saying they're full of shit, and fearmongering to persecute the minority they claim to defend, but watch out for this sort of thing. Someone saying they're oppressed does not mean they are oppressed. (Quite the opposite really. Oppressed people tend to be bullied into silence.)

On unpaid care & domestic work, and economic exploitation.
Thread includes:
- How domestic and care work gets calculated into GDP (in spite of society’s insistence on it not being of any value, indeed, not being work at all).
- The historical and political origin of this modern-day decision.

A quotation from Judith Martin
People are always saying to me, “Don’t you want to go back in time?” To where? Prefeminism? Not very much, no.

Interview (1997-03), “She Says: Miss Manners,” by Sandy Fernández, Ms magazine, Vol. 7, No. 5 (1997-03/04)

Talks about how girl groups and boy groups have different styles because of the background of the dancers who originated the style.
Also that companies and fans keep girls dancing girly and boys boyish because they mock boys for girl dancing and praise girls for boy dancing as if it is better, but they are different styles.
I wonder if they'll update this if more groups adopt the more unisex style like #Xlov .
