I didn't realize Catholics comprise less than Protestants. Still, 22% of Americans identifying as Roman Catholics is a big deal.

Thinking a second about this, he literally pwned MAGA

The entire conservative line of thought is backed by Christianity and American exceptionalism, and now there comes an American pope and tells "You're not following the God's word". That's a damn checkmate.

Wonder how many MAGA supporters, many of which are devout Christians, will start questioning their beliefs.

Also, lol, a Marxist Pope is top comedy.

On the other hand, the concerns themselves are real, and if they will be addressed in a way positive to everyone else, this will be great!

So, we'll see. Under current administration, the risks for it derailing into the hate fest are quite high, but fingers crossed.

Honestly, if done without any hate to LGBTQ+, I'm all for it. We need a nice hetero representation, and hetero relationships are beautiful. This does include trans people forming hetero couples, and hetero-demi-/asexuals, and many more, so it can even intersect with LGBTQ+ in some cases.

All relationships and sexualities are beautiful, and hetero ones are no exception.

But I doubt it'll be done this way.

Samsung SSDs are great and industry-leading in terms of reliability

I really cannot believe we fucked printers in so many unique ways.

  • No universal drivers and software support, requiring entire settings pages to be about printers
  • DRM everywhere, rendering third party cartridges useless
  • Routinely bad security, making Wi-Fi enabled printers one of the common attack vectors

Etc. etc.

As someone from a relatively poor country too, 25 bucks are a lot. For this entire busy day, I've earned $15.

The problem is, Lemmy developers are lemmy.ml maintainers. You can't have one without the other.

Sad to know you have such a case. But yes, this has to be addressed alongside.

This! Also, I have never found a single incorrect naming there.

This is always a tradeoff.

KDE tries to be universal and useful for everyone. No matter what you plan to do with your system, KDE has convenient tools for that. But, no matter how they try to make the system less busy, full set of easily available functions always stands in the way of minimalism.

Threadiverse kinda captures it, but it also calls association with Threads (by Meta), like if it's the parent of it, while in fact it's not even part of it.

 

Some people describe it as a network, some people describe it as a forum, yet somehow we have providers, and at the same time Usenet is seen as anonymous despite having a proxy in the form of a provider...for someone grown way after the Usenet prime, this all doesn't make sense.

What is Usenet, actually? Is it a separate network? Is it layered on top of the Internet? If it's the latter, why do I need some Usenet provider and why does it need to retain information (and why doing it for as long as possible is desirable?). Please help me connect the dots here.

 

Today is the 48th year the world as a whole gets to celebrate International Women's Day - a day celebrating the achievements of women fighting for a better, more equal and fair future.

In this day, it is important to revisit the origins of this celebration, and what it means for the people and for the feminist (and wider antisexist) movement.

 

According to recent studies, women remain to be underrepresented in the field of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM); for example, women only fill 31,2% of R&D jobs globally, with most parts of Asia, North America and Western Europe among the underdogs. On the other hand, Central Asia leads the way with 49% of research positions filled by women, along with some of the Eastern European countries such as Lithuania, Bulgaria and Latvia all exceeding the 50% mark.

As the share of women in STEM raises within a country, it gets easier to maintain as women feel more represented and capable of the career. One of the interesting observations is that the share of women in STEM is higher in the countries where there have been large historical shifts that expedited their inclusion; for example, most post-Soviet countries have better numbers of gender equality in the field, as the now-dissolved country has put big emphasis on the higher education of women, forming a self-sustaining image of women as scientists and innovators.

 

In many countries around the world, women enter retirement earlier than men: typically, the difference set is about 5 years. As women already leave work for their pensions, men remain part of the workforce.

As the retirement age grows for everyone, men thereby remain the most affected: with an average male life expectancy of 70,7 years, an average man is going to see about 5,5 years of retirement, as compared to 12,5 years for women that have both lower retirement age and higher life expectancy.

 

If you look into official data on the voting rights for women, it will paint you a pretty positive picture: all countries, except for Vatican city, do officially allow women to vote in elections.

However, in practice, there can still be plenty of barriers for women to vote. From legal restrictions for women to leave their house without husband's permission, to threats of violence on the booths, there are many things that make it impossible for women to actually put in the ballot.

The article explores these barriers in some of the countries around the world.

 

72 countries from various regions of the world still have military conscription. Of them, only 23 conscript women; all 72 conscript men.

Some of the countries that conscript both men and women have different conditions of service; for example, in Israel, men serve 32 months, while women serve 24.

 

As the legal system and society at large fails to recognize intersex people, surgeries and forced HRT continue to be pushed as a means to force binary gender standards.

Neither children themselves nor the parents are properly informed of the harms and risks involved in the procedure, as highlighted by the Human Rights commission of the United Nations.

This comes at a time when similar procedures are routinely denied to trans people, prompting questions on the validity and sincerity of concerns over gender treatment of children and adolescents arising under many conservative governments.

 

Average working time of German men is 43,27 hours, as compared to 34,63 hours worked by women, constituting a 20% difference. Men are also found to be more likely to take blue-collar jobs that are commonly more dangerous and physically demanding.

However, women are more likely to cite family obligations as the reason for choosing part-time work, suggesting more unpaid home labor compared to men.

Interestingly, the reasons for overtime work may also differ between genders: men are more likely to get additional hours to boost income, while women are more likely to step in for colleagues.

 

Women still spend more time caring for children compared to men, as evident from the US survey carried out between 2011 and 2021.

Interestingly, while levels of employment affected child care time for both men and women, for men the effect was less pronounced.

One other interesting finding is that the difference between men and women is minimal when both work full-time, suggesting a more equal distribution of duties due to lack of available time.

 

!antisexism@lemmy.today is a community directed against the gender-based discrimination of men, women and nonbinary people.

It stands strongly against patriarchy and all forms of gender inequality, and is supportive of both feminism and masculism, as long as their end goal is equality.

Since, apparently, no Lemmy communities I know have tackled the gender-based issues from this angle, I decided to start my own. Will be happy to see you!

 

Women constitute majority of victims for sexual violence, physical violence, and stalking; however, the prevalence of victims among men also appears to be higher than commonly suggested.

According to WHO statistics for 2019, 70% of suicides globally are committed by men.

In the US, this number goes as high as 80%, according to CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/suicide/facts/data.html
