Chronic pain sufferers: ‘Are we stupid? Why didn’t we think about that.’

Weird how genetics is left out of this.

Fuck me for having PCOS I guess.

Chronically ill people seeing this meme: ‘Am I a joke to you?’

Let me introduce you to the concept of chronic illness and pain.

Chronically ill people are in the same boat. Doctors won’t believe them because their symptoms cannot be measured. Friends alienate them because they don’t have the spoons to live up to expectations. Family keeps telling them to just think positive thoughts. Everyone tells them they are sick because they aren’t exercising and dieting enough.

All while you are in perpetual pain, nausea, fatigue, and overstimulation from so many new ways you learn your body can suffer.

I wholly agree that beyond just sustainability, the reduction of suffering for animals is in the heart of veganism.

That being said, it’s not the most effective argument to sway us meat eaters. When people think of animal suffering, it brings shame and guilt and makes some people defensive. This is why some people hate vegans, because it’s a reflection of their own inadequacies. They revel at finding proselytizing vegans to pull apart because it lets them tell the world ‘See? This is what all vegans are like. I’m not like that and therefore I am a good person.’

Self-interest is the easiest way to goad people into thinking about veganism without hurting any egos. If you rephrase veganism as a matter of self-preservation and not a moral issue, people are more open to that.

It’s much easier to make the world eat 10% less meat than make 10% of everyone a vegan. Veganism for all isn’t the answer yet, because human incentives don’t work that way. Instead of promoting veganism, it’s much more achievable to ask people to do things like meatless Mondays.

If you’d stop making hating vegans your entire personality the rest us normal meat eaters wouldn’t have to clarify how we aren’t one of you.

I eat meat and you’re being a twat.

Veganism is a good cause and we can all learn a thing or two about sustainability from them. Stop acting like they’re out here to take your oh-so-precious meat away from you. Eat a vegetable or two so you can get that turd out of your ass.

Nobel piss prize.

CUP SIZE IS RELATIVE TO BAND SIZE.

I need every man here to stop talking about ‘D cups’ for side like it means anything. It sounds as stupid as saying ‘100 moneys is a lot of money’ without stating the currency.

Here is a chart of sister sizes. Every row is the same volume, meaning that a 40A, 36C, and 30E are the same volume, just different shapes.

Now, it is true that it’s harder to buy nicer looking bras for d-cups and above, but that’s because big bra has been pushing for bra conformity for decades and shoving women into a narrow range of sister sizes at sleazy stores like victoria secret so that they don’t have to make a larger variety of sizes. The result is that women who want a bra that fits have to pay a premium, and bras are expensive as is.

Bras are not just clothing, for many women there is a medical need for one due to back pain and other conditions. Yet, the bra industry cares more about the sales volumes of their 36Cs than the fact that half the women wearing them are likely wearing the wrong size.
