Aww, I love Yuki! Thank you for sharing! (:
Oh, no, I did snap. But it was only a single sentence. All I said was "Wow, [boss name], for a guy who's so against the government telling you what to do with your body, you sure do change your tune about this one!" (He was adamantly anti-mask).
My coworker's face when I said it was filled with terror, as my boss had a temper. I just watched his face turn purple and got back to work. Boss excused himself for a 2 hour lunch. Lol
It's shitty, yeah. But there was a loooot wrong with how they ran things. Business shut down less than a year later. I miss the work, though, and I really did like my coworkers. Que sera sera!
Worked machine repair. My boss hired me because he knew I'd work for cheap.
In my experience, men seem initially very uncomfortable working with women, so you unfortunately have to kinda prove yourself to be "one of the boys" in order to be fully accepted or reap the social benefits of the workplace (ie. get more hours, be invited to do things, etc.). You really do have to be more stoic to fit in.
More unfortunately, my boss was also a stupid asshole who loved to talk politics at work. That meant he blathered on about "punch card abortion whores" one day, and I finally spoke out against him and was no longer scheduled after that.
I loved that work. I loved my co-workers. It taught me a lot, and I wish I could find more local work in that field again.
My wonderful mother had her last child when she was just over 50. My brother was unexpected, but she has stayed healthy and active and he's now one of the more "successful" of the siblings.
If the child is wanted & you have the means to support your family, that's what matters!
Because times may be tough now, but it will not last forever. Frog grew from a tiny tadpole into a magnificent frog! Frog knows you may not feel strong right now, but you do not need to be strong in order to get through it – you just have to be resilient. And frog believes in you! Frog wants you to be able to see how beautiful the pond can be one day!

She is correct. You are absolutely divine for excluding raisins, you radiant goddess, you!
Literally every single other community is a place where men are allowed to post and weigh-in freely.
The moment a women-only community shows up and requests that they not input here, they lose their fucking minds.
I don't buy the "ummm we're outraged because you're being sexist!"–thing. Nah. Nah, that ain't it. They're outraged because a boundry has been drawn for them. Because we asked them to respect a space and they don't want to. Because they feel they have a right to say something, even if we politely shut the door and say "This room is a women's meeting place! You're not allowed in here! Thank you!" They start pounding on the door, screaming in the hallways, trying to pick the lock..
...What the fuck?
Men: GO AHEAD AND MAKE YOUR OWN MEN-ONLY COMMUNITY TO DISCUSS MEN-CENTRIC ISSUES! We will support it and respectfully stay out of that space! It's yours!!!
Oh buddy oh oh no buddy noooo 😱
Ayyyy wtf
Sounds aboyt right.
You okay now? Did you have to go elsewhere to get proper treatment?
Every Sunday was spaghetti day at my house!
