dominoes meme but it's "medical misogyny" on one end and "soft-liberal women vote to end abortion so that they can keep their children from being transed by vaccine-induced autism" on the other

@left_adjoint I highly recommend reading Robert Ludlum’s book “The Utopia Experiment” first, then re-evaluate your wishes. It was published in 2014, but today’s tech news constantly remind me of this extraordinary tech thriller.  @left_adjoint Yeah. The device is perfectly capable of being that, but then capitalism intervenes. I think we're *almost* reaching the point where #LinuxMobile is becoming an attractive non-hostile alternative for people who would otherwise choose a non-smart phone. Give it a few years, and I think a phone pre-installed with #postmarketOS would work well enough for tech-unenthusiasts to actually like it. (🐧 Posted from my Linux phone) |
this is a big soapbox topic for me but my argument is that the larger medical community, through systemic sexism, created the monster of the anti-vax movement and the larger "big pharma, bad"
like this isn't even a particularly big extrapolation
the literal pitch of pseudo-feminist goop-branded anti-medical wellness in the 2010s was "doctors don't listen to you, we listen to you, we believe you when you tell us something is wrong:
it's affinity fraud, basically, but affinity fraud that was enabled by an already eroded sense of trust in clinicians who ignore women's testimony of their own experiences
if there weren't a lot of women who'd been basically treated like they were delusional for talking about the pain they were in or for the fact they could tell something was wrong, only for them to finally get validation once the problem becomes an actual emergency, there wouldn't be a population ready to hear "doctors lie to you, dismiss you, ignore you---so when they say vaccines and hormones are safe, why should you believe them?"
