When EMTs and film/tv production crew comment on twitter threads about Amazon warehouse working conditions like “I work 12 hour shifts too, suck it up” like…………guys. You shouldn’t be working 12 hour shifts either. As few people as possible should be working 12 hour shifts

THIS. Medical professions ESPECIALLY.

Ok but I really, really don’t want to be treated by a medical professional who’s on the later end of a 12 hour shift?! Like that isn’t even just about worker’s rights, an exhausted EMT or nurse or surgeon is a lot more likely to mess up and get their patients killed, who the fuck thought shifts like that were a good idea

There is no “father” of anything.

More and more things credited to men turn out to be the creation of women.

I spent a good part of my Sunday pulling out every single hair on my body and I can tell you I wasn’t having a cutesy me-time moment, I just need to look professional in a dress. Now I’m wearing pants because my legs are completely inflamed, and it will take probably another day for them to go back to normal because my body completely rebels against the whole thing. Then I’ll have to carefully scrub and hydrate my skin to avoid ingrown hair, treat those that will grow under my skin anyway… A total enjoyment!

THATS ALL THE BIG SCARIES IN ONE BUG TFFF JU

Okay, but what professor was such an asshole that they wouldn’t let a woman in labor do a makeup exam? You know someone said some shit and she felt like she HAD to do that exam, labor or no.

OK true story from one of my professors: She got pregnant while getting her PhD. Not planned, but it would work out that she would do her lit review (where she had a massive list of books she had to spend two hours talking about) a month before her baby was due. Plenty of time, right? Well, her daughter came a month early. On the day that she scheduled her lit review. So she’s in labor with a baby that’s four weeks early, she calls up her male professors that are going to be doing her lit review, and they say that squeezing a human being out of your vagina isn’t a good enough reason to cancel. She can’t reschedule, they’ll just fail her. And my professor will have none of that. They agree to have the lit review at the hospital, but they kick out all nurses and doctors because you can’t have anyone else in the room. (like the nurses are really going to be secret undercover English professors who will whisper to her answers about Virginia Woolf). So for two hours while my professor was in labor, these male professors are hounding her about early 20th century British literature and the nurses are just about losing it and as soon as it’s finish they rush back in to make sure everything is okay. And the best part of it is that my professor was so focused, so determined to pass and not let her 5 years of work end in a failure, that she says she didn’t feel any pain for those two hours. WHILE IN LABOR.

Fucking men. Seriously.

I get that this is supposed to be a “feels good” story, but it really shouldn’t be legal to force someone to take an exam when they’re meant to be undergoing a medical procedure- and that includes labour.
