the OP explicitly stated that they dont support the idea of an actual matriarchy and that this is just a shitpost in another comment, feel free to scroll down
if you genuinely think that feminism is "painting it pink" and not changing the system to be more equitable then youve been in the wrong circles, this meme is making fun of people like you who hold the belief that feminism is a matriarchal ideology rather than an egalitarian one
sorry, have you mastered basic english? do you make sure you speak with perfect grammar and spelling even in informal contexts? if anything, it would be incorrect to use formal language in such an informal application as a meme
you not being upset by it doesnt necessarily mean there arent people who are upset by references to suicide or portrayals of sharp objects in this context
its not quite necessary or expected on lemmy as far as i can see but its definitely appreciated when i have to see one less triggering post, cause the stress does add up
though i will point out that its pretty useless when the image isnt spoilered or hidden within the body cause who reads the title first and THEN decides if they want to see the post
i said nothing arguing that suicidality is not unique or that professionals are always competent, i argued that trying to negotiate with someone who is suicidal is often traumatic and the average person isnt qualified to perform such negotiations
fun fact for the future: someone being suicidal is not your problem and you should not try to help beyond referring them to helpful resources
theres a reason mental health professionals are PROFESSIONALS and not just random kind people
you are (likely) not trained to handle this situatuon and thus should not engage in this lest you experience real trauma or worsen the other persons situation
so do not kill yourself in the process of trying to be the sole force stopping them
edit: felt the need to add
if someone you know is experiencing suicidality, oftentimes the best and safest choice is just to make plans
suicidality is, in the majority of cases, spurred by short-term issues making people feel trapped in their current situation
so plan things with them! plan going out to a concert or restaurant! plan how they can enjoy life in the future!
this is something i feel VERY strongly about because of my own past experiences with feeling the need to "negotiate"
keep in mind im not saying you cant just talk about life with people expressing these ideas, just make sure the conversation doesnt turn into a "negotiation"
ty for reading my long ass comment thats indirectly about my own experiences i love all of you lemmings kthxbye <3
lol "never provised me with any actualy treatment for my back, just drugs"
do you not realize that drugs... actually do things? are you really going to discount what a good anti-inflammatory agent can do for certain injuries? what pain-killers do for pain? treating inflammation and pain in itself is treating a "root cause" in a way, with recovery being expedited when inflammation is treated
not to mention drugs that are more powerful than a simple anti-inflammatory agent
I'm not sure I've seen this take expressed here before... but here I go.
I think the thing I appreciate about Lemmy is that it isn't absurdly active. Before my switch to Lemmy (from Reddit ofc), I was compulsively checking Reddit for new content every 20 minutes, even taking priority over hyperfixations of mine. I like that there isn't new content every 20 minutes. It's like checking your fridge every 20 minutes for new food, and Reddit just keeps feeding you until you're upset. This place feels like it "restocks" every day so that I don't feel the need to check it obsessively. It's improved my relationship with social media entirely. My only issue is the amount of bait, not just in the form of trolls but people riling themselves and others up with politics. I get it, I'm extremely far left too, but god if I come here in hopes of being less anxious I always see something that feels designed to make me angry. It's less than Reddit but we could all work on considering if engaging is worth it. Learn to appreciate boredom and understimulation and it will change your life, especially those of you like me with an anxiety disorder.
sorry for the tangent, tl;dr less content actually makes me less anxious and more comfortable and we should learn to appreciate the boredom that comes with that
