    So… We’re all just not gonna talk about the fact that ‘Root’ is apparently a traditional girl’s name now, huh?

    Reminds me of an idiot on FB asking why men’s rooms don’t have changing stations. “Why don’t they, huh?! Ever thought about that?!”

    Then a friend of hers told her that almost all do have diaper stations. Then she really got dog piled.

      Tbf there was a point not too long ago where most men’s rooms didn’t have a diaper station

        Suppose it must be regional. Back when I was a kid, 20 long years ago, men’s rooms having a diaper station was the norm.

        Yeah, that is definitely a newer development. I’d bet the vast majority of men’s rooms that have them didn’t get them at the same time as the women’s rooms, unless the building itself is fairly new construction.

        Even with my youngest (5), I would always use the bathroom early and check to see if they had a changing station prior to him potentially pooping himself. The majority of the time there was, but the times there wasn’t was often enough to make it worth checking. Only if my wife was with us, though, otherwise it was a roll of the dice.

      I’ve been known to go into the women’s room to change a diaper when the men’s room doesn’t have a changing table. It doesn’t happen often, but it’s supremely irritating to me as a dad.

      It depends where you live. But it does majorly suck when you end up needing to change your kid in a place that doesn’t have it in the men’s bathroom (I’m a dude). Hell, it happened to me over the holidays when I went out with extended family that was visiting to a nice restaurant. I was changing my daughter’s dirty diaper on the stupid little countertop area in the bathroom that had all the concierge type amenities. I just pushed all that crap into the corner to make room and one of the staff came in and gave me a look and I just commented they should install a proper changing station in the men’s bathroom in the future.

    I love a bit of Bull Yogurt to garnish my Rocky Mountain Oysters.

    Edit: would be fun if a restaurant serving Rocky Mountain Oysters would provide the names of the bulls that provided for my meal.

    There’s something here, but in a very broad and nuanced way. A society (capitalist society like this one) that tends to value things by their ability to produce profits does lend itself to misogyny the same way it lends itself to classism and natalism, in a lot of parallel ways.

      Good effort but Lemmy is all about superficial progressivism. If you even so much as approach any kind of nuance or try to make them see their internalized sexism, they lose their shit.
