This day in history. 1835. The Cherokee of Georgia were forced to leave their lands for their own good not because gold had been discovered there no not at all.
And as an absolutely critical note here: we also need to use an intersectional lens for these issue. All of the dismissal and ignoring complaints is exponentially worse for people of color.
One of my research interests is sex differences and Women's Health. This, from @washingtonpost, is one reason why

Women's pain often is dismissed by doctors

Many women say doctors have dismissed their pain, and several studies confirm that gender bias routinely leads to denials of pain relief for female patients.

so it may be worth mentioning that ALL of the toxic reactions described in the #9ReplyGuys thread above are used by white people (including WW) against people of color all the time, especially against Black people who talk about racism. None of it is exclusive to gender harassment/discrimination.

Mastodon can be a safe place for everybody, or it can be a comfortable place for white people, but while #racism exists it can’t be both.
