TL;DR: most accidents that result from snow actually occur on pavements and cycle paths (not necessarily "rural" roads), which are disproportionately used by women.

So.. why weren't they mass-reporting crypto bros? A group that make a ton of shady income and famously hates the government and taxes?

Since you so sincerely believe it was done as justice.

Like.. they did it with the express purpose to harass people they hate, entirely based on the assumption that "dumb women" wouldn't understand that you have to declare income. Literally nothing came of it, either, besides some people's lives being made needlessly stressful. Because, surprise, women are perfectly capable of declaring their taxes. Even if they get naked on camera.

Why are you going on the base assumption that they don't pay taxes? I mean I know why, "lol dumb women" is the first thought in your head when you wake up every day, but don't you think flooding a government office with thousands of entirely unbased accusations might be a bit fucking stupid?

wasn't this already tried? Like I'm sure one of the scandivian countries attempted a switch towards gritting routes towards schools and daycares (since it was typically women who were ferrying children about) from the old main thoroughfare and workplace focused routes.

iirc what happened was it worked great in a trial in a small city and when there was a second trial in a bigger city it was absolute havoc because nobody could get anywhere. The only reason it worked in the smaller city was because the routes for schools and primary thoroughfares were mostly the same whereas in the bigger city they weren't. In the end the idea got scrapped i think.

can't remember much about it and I can't find any sources so idk if this was even real but maybe someone else can chime in with some details on it

Watch South Park season 26, Episode 2. Victims everywhere.

Someone should invent a kind of material you can place around your body to make you a little warmer. Until that distant day, I guess women have to remain forever cold in the office.

10/10 one of the more interesting stories I've written. Thanks for sharing!

They prioritise routes used for commuting over smaller rural roads, which seems sensible, but actually isn’t.

This article explains it better than I can.

>Okay?? That doesn’t really change my point

You don't have to change your point. Again: people used more toilet paper during the pandemic because they were home.

Women don't use baby formula.

See how my point didn't change either? You're really going to a lot of effort to argue about something so dumb. You can't just admit that people use toilet paper.

I don’t like stereotyping, but that looks exactly like the kind of person who would say some shit like that.

Okay?? That doesn’t really change my point - which was that although obviously everyone uses toilet paper, women use it more. Because, again: men (and boys) don’t tend to use toilet paper for when they pee, just when they poo. Women (and girls) use it for peeing, pooing, vaginal discharge and periods - relevant because (IIRC) girls can get their period as early as around eight (though it’s usually between 12-15).

Also, considering women use the bathroom more frequently than men I still think it’s safe to say people with vaginas use more toilet paper than people with penises. Because, you know. That‘s just how math works.

> stop the sexist narrative that women use formula

I’m guessing you mean “that women use formula more than men”, but that’s not sexist - it’s just plain accurate. It’s not a judgment on how involved dads are - it’s just an acknowledgement of feeding habits as influenced by aspects of society (specifically maternity and paternity leave).

Maternity leave is often longer than paternity leave (if it even exists). So women are by that very fact more likely to be feeding the baby, simply because they spend more time with the baby during that maternity leave. According to the International Labour Organisation, 98 countries meet the ILO standard of at least 14 weeks maternity leave and 107 countries finance maternity leave cash benefits through social security. Compared with paternity leave, which is found in 78 countries, and only five of those countries provide paternity leave for more than two weeks. So of the percentage of babies who receive formula milk alongside or instead of breast milk, there’s a fairly good chance that - at least in a heteronormative household with a father and a mother - the mother is doing more feeding and so using formula more than the father.

Do you not know that whole families, who used to go to work and school, were staying home during the pandemic? So rather than using toilet paper at work/school, households were required to have a greater supply. Do you understand that? It has very little to do with what type of genitals you're wiping.

And stop the sexist narrative that women use baby formula. What fucking year do you think this is?

And why could that be an argument for being sexist?

He basically says that more men (drive to) work than women, but calls others sexist.

Maybe it's short on a historical timeline, but I am so tired of the knee-jerk 'but I don't hate anybody' reaction

Exactly, and because most deliveries are by road they also keep the shelves stocked.

Makes a £300k cut, Tries to hide it by giving a “reserve” (can’t keep equipment on a reserve), then distracts by claiming gritting is sexist

Statistically women are significantly worse effected by icy footpaths, but prioritising footpaths over major service roads is idiotic

It should be noted those mains roads are also essential for emergency services, not focusing on them would prevent ambulances reaching anyone whose had an accident

What he’s saying is some wives don’t like their husbands going up the gritter.

That's the nicest thing someone has said this week haha

But that's the annoying thing, we've just invented the need to wear suits to be a worthy human. No suit, no skills. I'm really glad that my job doesn't require such nonsense. I get that you alone can't turn up to work with bermuda shorts and your favorite band t-shirt, but I wish you could.

Like KFC?

Don’t working mothers and wives commute then?
