Not for nothing we should have started burning things down when the the private equity companies got into the business of private prisons in the 80s!

"Private prisons" shouldn't even exist..

This isn't just about gaming. Many of the men most hostile to women are also not "winners" in any other manner. Especially those who complain about women being independent or not "letting" them be men. They're mad at their station in life and take it out on women who are ANY level of successful.

Graphic saying:

Male behavior towards female gamers
See also: Sexism in video gaming
A 2015 study found that lower-skilled male players of Halo 3 were more hostile towards teammates with a female voice, but behaved more submissively to players with a male voice.
Higher-skilled male players, on the other hand, behaved more positively towards female players. The authors argued the male hostility towards female gamers in terms of evolutionary psychology, writing, "female-initiated disruption of a male hierarchy incites hostile behaviour from poor performing males who stand to lose the most status". [100]
Still the best gaming fact.

So now I have to explain to every new doctor how and why that got in my chart so they will believe me when I am experiencing damn near anything!! There is no amount of advocacy you can do for yourself with people who won’t listen to you in the first damn place

My family is currently involved in litigation with the hospital where my father died in 2023. I know firsthand the pain caused by mistakes in the medical field.

I’m sorry for your loss as well… the only thing I can think of that might be able to help is having more black doctors and medical practices but I also understand that that’s damn near impossible too without financial backing to make it happen

My cousin died less than an hour after being released from pneumonia because they assumed that he was seeking drugs! His wife AND his mother were there at the hospital with him advocating for him.. he went to the doctor.. he still died

I do get what you are saying it is ultimately our responsibility to make sure that we are good but a lot of people get overwhelmed by these processes and sometimes it’s easier to just not do it. They pay for it later of course but by then it’s too late

LoverGirlLore @kurzoblint.bsky.social · 13h

This is a systematic issue…. Stop shaming black men for not going to the doctors that they know they can’t trust… we need to start blaming systems for shit like this and not individuals

LoverGirlLore @kurzoblint.bsky.social · 13h

Unfortunately a lot of people can’t afford to. Also a lot of people don’t know how to advocate for themselves.. this is a systematic issue not a personal failing

These mfs are not really religious at all. They use religion as a way to control people and to appear “good”.. they are using the same play book that has been used for generations
