As a disabled person I am not “insulted” by the tiny number of folk circumventing the system…

I’m insulted by disability benefits being less than a liveable amount.
By the process being inaccessible and harming vulnerable people.

By ableists making ableist assumptions.

It’s also worth noting that there isn’t a 1% chance. An ectopic pregnancy is not viable.

They are a life threatening emergency and must be treated as such.

See also: the slander heaped on women who attempt suicide, in the name of centering “men’s mental health,” as well as the denial of the fact that women report loneliness at higher rates.

“They’re just doing it for attention; they aren’t really suicidal, otherwise they’d be dead” are things I’ve heard self-described (men’s) Mental Health Advocates say with confidence

It’s always “imagine living a 6/10 man in today’s society” and never “imagine living as a conventionally unattractive women in today’s society” like actually the men still have it better and are ignorant to gendered violence and its consequences

This is how it feels & seems to be the case. Also, women are actually lonelier and it's not called a crisis. Crickets

Whenever I see men complain about the male loneliness crisis or unique emotional/psychological issues faced by men, it’s very clear that they just don’t see women as full people capable of experiencing the exact same emotions they do
