Reply to The US government says women’s underwear should cost more than men’s by TheTim

Safes are something men use to keep valuable items in. They know other men want what's in it and that some will take by force. Men protect its contents vigilintly by allowing only themselves to have access and strictly prohibited others access unless indisputable, absolute consent is given by the owners to do so. Safes are solid, heavy and nearly impenetrable therfore making them very expensive, but the protection it offers to its valuable contents justifies the cost to these men.

So why in hell should women pay more than men do to keep their valuable possessions in flimsy, delicately fragile safes made of a few millimeters of fucking cotton?

Reply to Virginia Governor Kills Bill Banning Police From Seeking Menstrual Histories of Women by Sasu105

The article headline and content is incredibly misleading. The governor didn't veto the bill, his office expressed disapproval but it was tabled in committee. The bill didn't have anything to do with warrants specifically seeking menstrual data - no such warrants exist. Basically, the bill would carve out menstrual tracking apps (e.g. Flo, Clue) as EXCLUDED from phone data that could be collected during a warrant.

If the police have a warrant to search your phone for child pornography, or planning to commit murder, etc, they could search every single file on the phone, every app. This bill would specifically carve out menstrual data from that, a protection which does not exist for any other app. Not for your bank app, or your email app, or your Tindr, whatever.

As a Democrat Virginian who has been following this for a while: the bill was signalling from Democrat legislators that they care about defending reproductive choice in the wake of Roe V. Wade overturn, but never had any practical reason to become law. The menstrual app on your phone is not protected by HIPAA, it's not protected records from a healthcare provider. It's the same as if the police have a warrant to search your house and you have a notebook where you have written with pen in which you record your cycle. They can still seize it during the search.

Reply to comment by Parafault in Child labor in the United States costs $15,138 per child. by VoE_Monkey_Overlord

If you make it double the amount of profit they brought it, that is a good way to pretty much shutdown the business. It should be like 20% of the revenue. Or something. And it should be based on revenue, not profit too. As they could easily lower their profits for the year when they get fined, thus lowering the amount needed to pay the fine.
