  • I mean that may well be that I havent heard of "those" feminists, altho I hear about many things feminists here (in Switzerland) push for. I read the demands of every feministic protest for example and never was there one of the points I mentioned.

    I think your comment sounded like victim blaming to me. For example:

    Men die (more) in suicides. Feminists (mostly women) fight against the patriarchy, which is a product by men. If the higher suicide numbers is because of the patriarchy, then "its their own fault".

    Thats why I see things like "the patriarchy" or categories like "the men" or "the feminists" very critically as it generalizes too much.

    And back to the OP: I dont think that a dedicated "minister for women" can or will help in men-issues, because I don't believe the logical detour via the patriarchy makes sense. One would have to fight the misandrist laws like the army draft (here in switzerland its mandatory for men but voluntary for women) directly and not shadow-box ""the patriarchy"".

  • Because if there is then the calls for a

    • minister for non-binary and intersex
    • minister for the jewish
    • minister for seniors
    • minister for POC
    • minister for car-lovers

    And so on.

    The only solution would be a minister for gender equality. Or social equality. And then there has to be a check, what issues this minister is working on improving.

  • I have never heard of a feminist...

    • ...pushing for more equality/fairness in custody-cases
    • ...being against showing men in a stereotypical bad light in ads.
    • ...being against alimony payments or fairer judge decisions
    • ...being against prison-rape jokes
    • ...speaking up for falsely accused men (Till Lindemann, Jonny Depp and so on)
    • ...being against dangerous work emvironnments or bad work conditions or bad jobs in general
    • ...pushing for more mental health support for men
    • ...being against men-only military draft.

    It all being part of the patriarchy is maybe true if you want to look at it in this perspective. But I am of the opinion that most of those points would not majorly improve even if feminists would have total political control for the next 10 years.

    Because feminists stand up for the rights of women. Which is totally important and good. But will not automatically improve the lifes of men, because its not the aim of most feminists.

  • I write it down if my voice tells me something I should remember, else i just let my thoughts wander wherever they want.

    After a while I know what I want to do next, because boredom showed me what my body and mind needs.

  • Theoretically unions are unionized workers who represent all workers. So they should do surveys from time to time about what the current concerns of the workers are.

    At least thats how it works in Switzerland.

  • I heard that the wiki foundation is pretty well off and the saleries they pay the executives are rising pretty fast. Havent donated myself but in principle I should, eventho the higher ups are earning this much.

  • Vote for better policies and laws that force companies to be better as well.

    Even if we improve ourselves as much as possible: We still need the products of big corps which only improve because of (1) laws or (2) when losing money.

  • Oh, thats disappointing.

    Couldn't one have a list of all instances and from that direct it to the app? Like links to youtube get opened by the YT app? Any lemmy.ml/... , lemmy.world/... , and so on get opened by the "lemmy-app" which is installed.

    Or doesnt this work like this?

  • As someone who just had an Galaxy S7 or something for 6.5 years this all sounds way overkill. I'd probably disable everything possible to get even more battery life out of it.

    If someone uses this phone for gaming or working or for documenting/photographing a trip or something, then its maybe worth it but for everyday use its just overkill imo
