PlatonicaWhoreGirls (and boys), what are some ridiculous double standards you had to put up with?
When the hpv vaccine first came out there were production shortages so it was only available to girls and women.
SalI believed that was do to risk of cervical cancer. A guy can’t get that cancer so risk of HPV was lower for males.
This seems unlikely. Vaccination is far less effective if you leave a large proportion of the population unprotected. That’s why we vaccinate everyone against rubella even though it’s only dangerous to foetuses if their mother catches it while pregnant.
I don’t know if it was due to production shortages or a cautious roll out, or a bit of both. But I doubt it was due to the medical profession forgetting how vaccination works.
Right, so say an 80/20 split in terms of the danger became a 100/0 split in terms of access to the vaccine.
Macaroni_ninjaAs an office worker with stupid dress code during summer not allowed to wear shorts, while the ladies can wear the shortest short mini skirts. Fuck that logic
berkeleyblueWasn’t there this one guy that just started wearing skirts as well as the, and I‘m not entirely sure on that part, dresscode didn‘t specify gender in that way or some legal department ruled a dresscode based on gender to be discrimatory.
Sounds hilarious, is there an article or something on this?

A couple of years ago, bus drivers in France started wearing skirts during a particularily bad heat wave because skirts were allowed but shorts weren’t.
It was on Reddit and I would rather not link there so I found it somewhere else:
„That night I went home and read up on the dress code rules. There was in fact a rule against shorts, so I was annoyed, but kept on. And then I found it, there is no rule preventing males to wear skirts/kilts. Here’s where I devised my plan.“
Thanks, it was an entertaining read

My ex was convinced that girls hitting / insulting men was not only completely fine and normal, but even hilarious and “cute” for some weird reason - and she legit couldn’t understand why I did not find it funny or endearing. It didn’t help that she was also visibly smaller than me (about 2/3 my height) and percieved those actions as her own unique “love language”.
Let’s just say that there is a good reason this woman is my EX now. It took a while for the rose-tinted glasses to finally shatter so I could see the red flags for what they were, but I’m glad that psycho is no longer part of my life.
(I know from mutual friends that she still thinks women hitting men is okay, but men hitting women deserve the death penalty)
