Hey if you’re new to tumblr I have some tips for you

One thing is for true, I learn a lot about American politics and problems from Tumblr. I learnt about that poisoned water before it was in the news.

But some of the feminism stuff leaves me scratching my head. Can I really believe that some people are so uneducated about how a female body works? People wouldn't make such stuff up, would they?

Andrew Sullivan was better. But alas...

Yes. Yes they can. And this was an elected politician, who presumably had a decent education. What hope do normal people have?

Oh yeah, I remember that debate.
The thing I was thinking about was actually shared on FB. A woman who obviously had to ask her boss for permission to use the toilet (which I find riduculous in itself) got her monthly visitor and asked to use the toilet, as there were machines with tampons. I did not quite get from the article whether they were for free or not. Anyway, apparently the boss hated those machines with all his might. And he called her lazy for wanting to go there and did not want to allow it. And she patiently explained that if she was not going, she would soak the new skirt and also the chair with her blood. And he was quite appaled and asking back if she really can't make it stop? Apparently he was under the impression that she can make it stop at will. Which, if true, really makes me wonder what they teach in schools over there? (sorry for the icky topic).

The other story on Tumblr where I was not sure how much to believe of it or not was of a woman who had studied for a doctorate for several years but the day when her exam was supposed to be she went into labour which was one week early. And she asked for the exam to put on a later date but was told if she does not do the exam there and then, she will not get a second chance and all the studying will have been for nothing. So all the men came to the room in the hospital, and all the nurses were shut out, and the woman did the exam for 2 hours, presenting her presentation. The girl who wrote the story claimed she knew her and there was also a picture to go with it. It sounds ridiculous in one way but on the other hand, would someone really make something like that up? Sadly, in the internet you can't believe anything anymore, it is so easy to fake even pictures or screenshots of tweets.

I've read that first story on Tumblr!

And I'm almost more inclined to believe the second one - I'm not sure Doctorate rules are that strict, but I wouldn't put it past them. The rules will have been made by men, of course, and be centuries old...

What about this entry? Not about women but about chool children who die because the school takes away their asthma spray and does not give it to them in time because of regulations.

It sounds legit with all the names and places but if true I wonder seriously about people.

Good grief! There was a (true) story about a school that took away a blind kid's stick because they were worried others would fall over it. :(

Sometimes I think the whole world has gone crazy and you and I and our families probably are the last sane persons left.

I hope there was an outcry and the child got her stick back?

How can a nurse stand by and watch a child suffocate without doing anything? Not even call an ambulance? How can they be more afraid of losing their job for doing something wrong, instead of doing the RIGHT thing - save a child? I really don't get it. Especially as the article also says that all states have laws for that. So the schools make different laws than what the state law is?

Well there was a dinner lady who got fired for feeding kids even if they hadn't paid. She (quite rightly) couldn't stand by and watch them go hungry, and I hope she got her job back!
