Okay not ragging on wearing seatbelts at all, DEFINITELY DO THAT, but I will say that I kinda do think seat belts are sexist. Mostly because cars were designed with male drivers in mind and to this day the majority of crash tests are conducted WITH male-only dummies- this has skewed the survivorship of male and female drivers, because women aren’t the the ones with the design in mind, they end up dying on a much more regular basis. (You cannot convince me no woman has ever been boob slapped at an ungodly force because an airbag wasn’t aimed correctly at her chest), I think that the seat belt’s design is just a vestigial remnant of that fact. Women are more likely to die in a crash as the driver, and it’s because cars aren’t usually being tested with female-designed dummies. (There’s a few around now, but this is still pretty new.)
I sincerely think that while unimportant (technically), the design of seat belts could definitely be modified for the comfort of all people while also being safe, if not even safer. Just cause it works doesn’t mean it can’t be better!
Also??? Breast amputation????? Girl- if car crashes resulted in male castrations the design would’ve been changed immediately. Don’t even play with me right now. Even if it’s survivorship bias that’s still a permanent and disfiguring injury that is by all means preventable by an improved design. No one gender or sex should suffer severe bodily disfigurement because they weren’t accounted for. That just isn’t ok.
And it’s not even just women this applies to. Would it kill us to actually cover the rough fabric in soft sleeves? I remember seat belts rubbing and even sometimes burning my skin as a child- because they don’t account for the kaleidoscope of people who will enter, exit, and use a seatbelt while in the car. Children are sensitive to that stimulus too. I don’t think parents of special needs children (or any children, for that matter) should have to go about replacing their car’s seatbelts because some Rich ass company decided to not improve a preexisting design because they want to hold on to their money with greedy grubby fingers. Kinda defeats the purpose of innovation if not a soul tries to improve at something.
What I’m saying is- safety devices like seatbelts are important, and they should absolutely be used and worn, but they can stand to be improved and updated to be better for everyone. Just because they work doesn’t mean their design was inclusive from the jump nor is it currently. Seatbelts working and seat belts having a rather unfriendly design for certain groups are both true statements that can coexist without either being wrong. But that’s something that is fixable. And it shouldn’t be ignored just because it works.
I just didn’t stand lmao. When people asked, I would say a) I don’t approve of this country, I don’t pledge my allegiance to it, or b) that is some weird fire nation shit and when you put it like that it’s pretty weird

Yknow when you see a post and you're like "oh I have to reblog this for The Mutual" and then you scroll up and you see that the one who reblogged it is The Mutual
Yes
The obligatory post
Oh knowing Pheonix yeah it would eat him alive and edgeworth or maya would probably have to talk him down every time.
Probably just projecting, but since he does try to save those who don’t wanna be saved, he likely would have trouble with the concept of: “just because I didn’t try every single possible solution doesn’t mean I didn’t try and make an effort. That’s not my fault. It’s okay to fail sometimes.”
He’s like that traumatized kid of some military strict parent who hammered in the concept: “if you don’t try every possible tactic, every possible route, push every possible button, then you’re a failure to me and you’re failing yourself, you’re letting everyone down, and it’s because you were too lazy to try.”
So yeah it definitely eats him alive. Even though Kristoph literally did everything in his power to sabotage everything Phoenix loved and worked for in his life for a selfish motive, Phoenix still thinks it was some how his responsibility to fix his broken soul and he failed.
Again, probably just projecting :’)
do you guys ever think about how phoenix thought black psyche locks couldnt be broken when he saw them on kristoph, but proved himself wrong when he broke athena's? do you think it eats him up inside that it might have been possible to break kristoph's locks, he just never tried?
he didnt have all the information to break them and i doubt kristoph would let him try. but goddamn that doesnt mean phoenix "saviour complex" wright wouldnt pace outside of the visitation room, magatama in hand, thinking could i do this? should i do this?
To be honest I need a fic where Phoenix is replaced with feenie and everyone he knows learns his lore of eating glass and being so down bad for miles that he starts to switch to law for the first time.
I need that almost as much as I need a fic where Miles edgeworth intimidates the shit out of Apollo and Athena until there’s an earthquake or something, and they learn how similar they really are. (I like to think that Edgeworth’s trial was sealed from the public for that one because we all know Apollo is a Phoenix fan boy and he would know about that if it wasn’t)
This is not a friendly reminder, this is goddamn emotional warfare you have sent shrapnel flinging across the walls of my home and emotional safety.
I don’t even drink enough to feel tipsy and I want to cry.
I don’t even own a cat!!! (I wish I did)
….
I feel the need to say again, that I am in fact, NOT a Tahitian clam, and don’t produce pearls, much less from my cooter, and would appreciate it if I wasn’t treated as such.
Also to that nurse who told me the speculum would ‘tickle’, WHAT THE FJUCK FREAK SHIT DO YOU GET UP TO IN YOUR SPARE TIME THAT, THAT SENSATION SPECIFICALLY IS A “TICKLE”?!?!
Anyways I unfortunately have to get it done AGAIN because the nurse disregarded me telling them that hey; I was on my period, and that I might be bleeding too heavily for them to get a good cell sample.
But what do I know, right? It’s not like this uterus of mine is attached to me specifically or anything…
I got my first pap done today.
If I never see another speculum again it’ll be too fucking soon.
I’m feral because I can’t achieve my dreams in love and I’m ok with that because it’s my fault. I’m an introvert to the max babes
