I'm a social worker that works in perinatal care - believe me when I say that some of the worst OB/GYN I've worked with have been women. They dismiss and ignore the concerns or pain of their patients constantly. Men do it too but there is something so shocking about watching a woman treat other women's experiences and pain so badly.

[@altrshakib9449]

Mostly cause men have never felt those pains. So they don't know how serious it could be. They've just read about it while their patients FEEL it. So they are more serious in these situations. However Women OB/GYNs usually are more laxed because they are women too, so when a Patient comes to them with a concern, The women Docs feel like they've already gone through these pains and it wasnt too bad for them, so they inherently think the patients should go through it too. "Ive been there, survived it, its not too bad, you should go through it too, dont be so freaking weakling" mentality basically

[@heartdragon2386]

It was a woman ob that gaslight me through my entire pregnancy, convinced me to schedule a cesarean because the baby "had a big head", told me she wouldn't remove my IUD that made me crazy after I quit breastfeeding, and joked with my husband that she could "add a stitch for him" when we were still planning a v birth.

Similar situation in a lawfirm I worked in (as a female assistant). For the longest time, we assistants were exclusively female and the drama never stopped. So much stupid scheming and backstabbing over the course of 2 years, you couldn't trust anyone with anything, even if openly it was all smiles and "omg let me know if you need any help, okay?". It got a little better after we had a male assistant join us and broke things up a little, but my god, I have never seen anything as toxic as a purely woman working environment. So much misogyny coming from women, directed at women ("you'd look so much more professional with make-up, sweetie" or "I heard X is pregnant again, even though she just came back from maternity leave like a year ago... why even keep someone if they don't even work?!" or "those mothers always get the best vacation times, just cause they have kids in school age, it sucks that we have to get the short stick just cause they can't keep their legs closed") Oh, and if anyone of the assistants got any kind of promotion? "Yeah, she was just sucking up to XYZ, she's not even that good at her job, like, look at how lazy she is when I'm here working so many more hours". Working with only men also has its drawbacks, but hell, I'm never going back to an all-women environment....

Trump is also floating the idea of holding up promotions for three and four stars until a "loyalty board" approves it...crazy.

[@brandonkalz]

As a retired marine, I love the fact he’s not a 4 star general. The amount of “politicing” you have to do to get to that level is absurd. Once you get above 0-5 unfortunately most promotions go to who kisses the most ass, not necessarily to the officer that is most in tune with the troops he’s commanding, or the officer who is the most tactically/strategically sound. Kiss ass 4 stars is the reason you see all the stories about Marines and soldiers living in filth state side. Just my humble opinion. Edit: I should rather say, kiss ass officers trying to reach 4 star are the reason troops live in filth state side.

@@Katsura_ja_nai_Zura_da To call the humanizing of a person living within the ongoing conflict by way of interviewing, propaganda is just poppycock. Maybe you didn't like it or agree with it but I can't see why you would call it propaganda, yes the interviewee will have a biased point of view, but it's one you could not have access to yourself without being there. You just have to be mature and smart enough to understand that there is some bias in media. Also yes, to some extent, you have to trust Hasan's intentions. Never though, have I seen Hasan really miss. I'm not saying he's flawless but I think his opinions on the stuff that matters most are on point.

Few weeks ago I commented about Ethan calling out others for inappropriate comments or content but that he often says similar or even worse things. He inserts himself into drama or creates it so long as he is in the center of attention. That why when he shows up in a Phil video for commenting about someone else saying or doing something hateful or inappropriate, i know its not a honest but to just be relevant in the conversation. Then when there is no other viral thing I know its a matter of time before Phil has another piece about Ethan saying or doing something racist, hateful or inappropriate

But now there are hundreds or thousands of shows and channels and personalities that have taken the mantle of what Jones did and have grown their own audiences surpassing what Jones ever was.
