So you report waitresses every time you see them getting a cash tip? You report someone every time you buy something from craigslist or Facebook marketplace? What about yard sales, you report those if you drive by one? Or do you just think you're being righteous by reporting influencers and only fans models because you have some weird hatred for them? Kind of funny how that works

The argument isn't about whether or not to treat roads, it's about the fact that roads more heavily used by stay-at-home caretakers aren't being salted. Those aren't just private estate roads, they are the public roads between residential areas, the roads that don't necessarily all go through business centers. This issue stretches beyond just the "gritting routes" it's also a public transportation issue that travel between residential neighborhoods is a lot more difficult, expensive, and poorly executed to manage than travel to business centers.

The thotaudit meme is a joke, you need to actually submit a form of evidence that you actually know details about this person's finances to the IRS, and aren't just wasting their time, for them to investigate someone.

I don't actually know what qualifies as evidence, because that can vary by state. I wonder if images and videos of someone holding stacks of cash or making it rain can count as valid evidence though.

But it's a fact. More men do drive to work than women. Simply acknowledging reality isn't sexist, nor is it saying that women don't work at all. The routes from residential areas to business areas are well salted . But then the routes caretakers use to drive the children around to school and activities, visit family in other residential areas, and to do general tasks that aren't in business areas aren't as salted because their needs aren't being considered.

The salting route policy is favoring workers needs and not caretakers needs. And because those roles are statistically fulfilled by men and women respectively, the policy is sexist. It effects women negatively more often than men. Acknowledging a majority doesn't ignore that some women work and some men are stay-at-home caretakers.

clearing snow typically benefited men over women.

What's that? The society-for-finding-things-that-are-sexist investigated whether a thing was sexist and found that the thing was sexist? Colour me shocked.
