    Does “Dumb Bitch” think yogurt is literally made out of cows…?

    This is just bullshit. There’s no way they’ll keep milk from different cows separate just to be able to label the bottles

    There’s something here, but in a very broad and nuanced way. A society (capitalist society like this one) that tends to value things by their ability to produce profits does lend itself to misogyny the same way it lends itself to classism and natalism, in a lot of parallel ways.

      Good effort but Lemmy is all about superficial progressivism. If you even so much as approach any kind of nuance or try to make them see their internalized sexism, they lose their shit.

    So… We’re all just not gonna talk about the fact that ‘Root’ is apparently a traditional girl’s name now, huh?

    Reminds me of an idiot on FB asking why men’s rooms don’t have changing stations. “Why don’t they, huh?! Ever thought about that?!”

    Then a friend of hers told her that almost all do have diaper stations. Then she really got dog piled.

      I’ve been known to go into the women’s room to change a diaper when the men’s room doesn’t have a changing table. It doesn’t happen often, but it’s supremely irritating to me as a dad.

        One time I was at a restaurant and I noted that it didn’t have a changing station. Sure enough, during the meal my kid needed to be changed. I asked my wife if her restroom had a changing station, and she told me it did.

        So I took my kid up to the host stand and asked to talk to the manager. I politely explained that I needed to change a diaper but there wasn’t a changing station in the restroom so asked which table I could use, or if I should just use the bench in the waiting area. Manager got flustered and had a waitress check if the women’s room was empty and then stood outside the door while I changed the diaper.

        About a year later I happened to go back, and I did notice that the men’s room had a changing table. It’s a small thing, but I felt like I won one.

          Are you insinuating that I’m a baby because I believe that mothers and fathers both deserve the same level of accomodation in regards to caring for their children in public spaces? I sure hope that’s not what you’re insinuating, because that would make you a cunt. You don’t want to be a cunt, do you?

      It depends where you live. But it does majorly suck when you end up needing to change your kid in a place that doesn’t have it in the men’s bathroom (I’m a dude). Hell, it happened to me over the holidays when I went out with extended family that was visiting to a nice restaurant. I was changing my daughter’s dirty diaper on the stupid little countertop area in the bathroom that had all the concierge type amenities. I just pushed all that crap into the corner to make room and one of the staff came in and gave me a look and I just commented they should install a proper changing station in the men’s bathroom in the future.

        In northern Europe they are always in the HC bathrooms. I’v never seen one inside a gendered bathroom.

          Is HC just a unisex/family bathroom or something? Those are somewhat common here in the US, but not common enough to be reliably present at commercial facilities. They’re mostly common in publicly funded buildings and/or kid oriented businesses.

        Even with my youngest (5), I would always use the bathroom early and check to see if they had a changing station prior to him potentially pooping himself. The majority of the time there was, but the times there wasn’t was often enough to make it worth checking. Only if my wife was with us, though, otherwise it was a roll of the dice.

            I feel like companies are often just catering to the public sentiment and it wasn’t publicly popular so they’re just reinforcing it rather than enforcing

        She posted that 25 years ago, and stations were plenty common in our town (Tulsa).

        Suppose it must be regional. Back when I was a kid, 20 long years ago, men’s rooms having a diaper station was the norm.

        Yeah, that is definitely a newer development. I’d bet the vast majority of men’s rooms that have them didn’t get them at the same time as the women’s rooms, unless the building itself is fairly new construction.
