But when women stop being called broads people will call them dimes or shorties or hunnies or b*+*** and the same is true for other groups often. And those words will often in tile be labeled offensive or offensive out of narrow context- because the point was never necessarily that the word itself was so hurtful but that the word was coming from a place and/or history that was generally emotionally hurtful but also could be harmful to a groups ability to be accepted and integrated with society.

Those groups that cannot change their labels, that can stand up and shout that they find a label offensive and yet no one listens or perhaps they are even mocked- those are groups lacking social currency and recognition. Their legitimacy is challenged in society unless their privilege is so absolute or overwhelming that their complaints simply seem comical or ludicrous in light of their privilege- which is itself in a way a form of loss of social recognition and legitimacy- when people stand up and say that regardless of power or other issues they refuse to cowtow.

So we see this sort of symbolic transitions as women and various ethnic and other groups gain their mainstream recognition as having some concept of basic equality in society, and a change in language. As women’s lib became common “sweetie” and “broad” and all these words became off limits to those who didn’t want to show that they didn’t respect women openly.
As various ethnic groups went from being commonly and even academically referred to by offense titles or names imposed on the convenience of others with disregard to their existing titles and such, as we have seen various sexualities and gender identities and such in various measure gain success in changing those titles imposed on them and gaining the right to be referred to with respect- there is a link between those words and power.

Until not so long ago, less than a generation even, an entire list of slurs for homosexuals and transsexuals were generally fine except perhaps at “Sunday dinner.” A children’s show or film could more likely get away with many of those words or usages than a word like Fuck or Dick or even Penis. An actual clinical word for a part of the human anatomy was considered more offensive to hear on television than slurs.

At the simplest level the idea is that we’d respect each other enough to think of each other and to not use words that have gained a largely negative or insulting context when referring to each other, and self respect not to lower ourselves with that language yes- but also in that we want others to respect us.
And that’s where the puzzle comes together.
Where how we react to this stuff says who we really are.
When women say they don’t want to be called b*+**es, but over here is another group who gets called names that are disrespectful, so they say “don’t call me this name anymore,” and this becomes a sort of right of recognition. Until maybe 50 or 60 years ago referring to a black person as a n***** in America was maybe rude- like using “fuck,” but not exactly forbidden. “Negro” and similar were generally perfectly fine.

“Those who feel vertically disinclined” or some poofty word for it. We’re a sentence anything like that to leave the lips of most gay men I’ve known, at least outside of a public audience, they’d be as likely to drop the “M-word” or some other less than sensitive descriptor as anyone else. Perhaps more so depending.
So it isn’t like this is all drive. By some central comity or the inability of individuals of various groups to cope. Respect does play in though.

So that is where I see it like Star Trek- that “wokeness” in its non extreme forms is simply saying- what has been, what is tradition or what is natural” doesn’t have to be how things are going forward.
Where we see an opportunity to do better by others we can try to at least make an effort to be better. I doubt anyone alive hasn’t said something ignorant or offensive, problematic, whatever.
Anyone who has spent any time with any diverse group of LGBTQ+ POC etc. people is well aware that offensive humor, words used as slurs and insults, politically incorrect language and “problematic” acts and words and even bigotry or prejudice and discrimination exist among people in these groups too.
Your average gay man for the past 50 odd years isn’t walking around on egg shells when it comes to saying or doing the “politically incorrect,” and doesn’t generally sound like some exaggerated “snowflake” that thinks you shouldn't say things like “short on cash” because it may offend

So to me, start trek- the more optimistic idealistic older treks anyway- tended to put forward this idea for a product of its time that enlightened future folks just didn’t have these based urges or flaws, a notion that from time to time was contradicted and ultimately led to the more general cannon lesson that future folks do have the same instincts and often flaws as us but on the whole society is at least slightly better at controlling or hiding them- that it is less about our nature and more about how we choose to behave.

Any observation of young kids and babies who haven’t had the time or ability to learn social graces puts to bed the notion man is born without prejudice. Discernment and generalization are two critical parts of the decision making process, especially in absence of information.
But of course, near as we know, we can be more than instinct and nature. Wether we can break instinct or just redirect it is an open debate, but every potty trained adult that doesn’t do whatever they feel like at any given moment is an example that yes, we do not have to act on instinct and impulse alone.

Lol. I both enjoy the reference to what Patrick Stewart was supposedly told on the subject of his baldness and the accuracy.
I think it is a combination of things. We may or may not be able to get to a place where people “don’t care” about various things that we discriminate or judge on in the modern day- funny enough we’ve seen some of the opposite as cosmetics and other things have advanced to allow many to look “younger” or “more attractive” and are often linked to socioeconomic status, it’s especially true in certain Income brackets that not being attractive is often seen as perplexing,
or it is a sign of low status/income/self respect- and that’s transferred some into other classes and created a boom in “middle class” and lower income bracket cosmetic procedures being normalized or almost required in some circles.

Is merely calls to think more about other people who are different than us in various ways and not view the world through our singular and narrow perception based on our own experience alone.
Of course some efforts overstep, especially when perhaps we’ll leaning people try to speak for others and what might offend them- but at the core of so called cancel culture are concepts of accountability for our words and actions, and the desire to see a more inclusive society that isn’t built upon the assumption that there is a singular majority in power which are “normal” and then everyone who is not and must find a way to fit in. Instead the concept is that it is our responsibility as members of a diverse society to create a place where a wide range of people can feel welcomed and enjoy the opportunities to have the quality of life as anyone else as much as is practical.

.. of hair but shave “bald” for whatever reasons should generally use shampoo as their follicles still secret the oils and such that shampoo is specialized to clean away.
Men who are completely or almost completely unable to grow hair on their heads should still wash their head as sweat, dirt, oils, dead skin etc. still collect there. Some say to use shampoo since most decent shampoo is formulated to be “scalp safe” on the often sensitive and thin skin of the scalp while others say to use specialized gentle products etc.
in general one should be mindful of their bathing habits to keep clean and hygienic while not over washing and drying skin or stripping away a beneficial amount of oil for healthy skin.
Regardless, it is the case that bald people often do use shampoo or have use for it, so the concept is flawed in the intended ideológica purpose but actually illustrates quite well how often the driving force behind so called “cancelation”

Maybe not cancel, but more like making it out of fashion to imply or state that a full head of hair makes one more attractive/youthful etc. or that not having beautiful hair is unattractive. A Classic marketing technique, especially in beauty and fashion, being to make people feel lesser or like they are incomplete and then offer them a “solution” for that problem. Either by creating issues and traits like “large pores” as totems or by targeting known common insecurities.
Also- it’s worth noting that while like most personal care it is personal and some debate exists- in general many bald people do use shampoo and many experts recommend using shampoo even if you’re bald.
Even those that recommend not using shampoo if you’re bald still generally recommend not using any old regular body or hand soap on a bald head.
Men who are partially bald and shave completely bald to avoid having patches of hair and bald scalp for style of other reasons, and men who can grow full heads..

I’m not doing this again. I did this prompt not long ago. Why wouldn’t you or I not hold a capability to do a thing as basic as not put down that symbol in our writing?
I am curious who thinks this is factual or why forward such obvious misinformation? I can’t fathom the motivation.
Anyway, I’m going to stop at this point as the proof is plain to all that you can commit to word for long durations without using that symbol, and this is in plain words, using odd synonyms and such, think about it, you could just go on and on with vast ability to put forward an array of thoughts and abstract or non abstract voicing. It is not difficult at all with just a small vocabulary.
So I don’t know why this is a thing but…
I’m going to cut this post short and say:
“Fin.”

That’s going to be pretty hard most likely. The stresses of living on the Walmart salary etc.
so life can be hard regardless of the job and roadless of your skills or potential or wether something is considered “less” than what you do for work. We all walk along different paths.
So yeah. It can be about the money but it is rarely about just the money-
Especially apples to apples, and more money is often not the best way to keep an a momo her because the work remains or increases but you can’t generally just keep giving them big enough raises to satisfy them.

Meaning they are pushing their limits or at the limits of their comfort zone constantly.
So it sounds absurd but we can’t really say being a CEO or a brain surgeon or a deep sea fisherman is any harder than working at Walmart or being a receptionist.m for example. Depends. And think of this- could the CEO or brain surgeon work the floor or back room at Walmart? Dubious. Oh sure- good odds they could do the job- but could they live that life? Not be in charge, not be doing the sort of work that stimulates them? Not making the big bucks? You think someone who’s been a brain surgeon isn’t going to find it hard when they get their Walmart check to make their finances work on their likely brain surgeon expenses like the house and car and students loans for them or their kids etc etc? They are likely going to have to give up quite a bit and adapt quite a bit

So for me, parenting in my experience is pretty easy. Not a whole lot to complain about- like a dog that you can’t take everywhere but also can’t leave alone.
Not some grand badge of honor of great challenge. Congrats. You accomplished something only some odd billion people including literal cave people with no agriculture or language have done for tens of thousands of years- managed not to kill a baby. Whoopie. But- I know that isn’t true for everyone. So much the same- many jobs are “easy” but not “easy.” It depends on part on your abilities and various compatibilities as well as circumstance among other things.
At the end of the day most peoples jobs have some challenges or stresses and unless they are employed below their potential, it’s hard for most people because if they could do more they likely would.

Crying babies don’t bother me. I Can sleep with a baby wailing as loud as it can right next to me- just fall right asleep. I Can read or work or relax with a baby bawling its eyes out for as long as it wants. It will not bother me and I won’t feel anxiety or some pull to stop it or frustration. It’s just noise. I have been around noise. I’ve had to either sleep and live and work with noise or let the noise be a problem because the noise couldn’t be stopped or controlled. For some people, a crying/screaming kid will hurt their soul or drive them to the brink.
I I have to constantly remind myself when parents pour out their woes about lack of sleep or fried nerves from crying that not everyone can just be ok listening to that.

It’s hard to compare. I’m not going to try. A lot is personal. Some people are great with people and it’s easy to deal with them all day and for others a small social interaction or customer or colleague interaction leaves them stressed and drained. Some people can wake up before dawn consistently no problem and others couldn’t to save their lives.
Some people have endurance and strength and manual labor may not be a breeze but an easy day for them might literally Jill someone else who isn’t suited for it.
We all have our strengths and weaknesses, the things we can tolerate and things we just can’t, things we hate or cause us distress for whatever reason.

Some guy gets up at 5am, he lifts some heavy things into a truck. He drives around all day using GPS or maps or memory. Maybe lift some more heavy things. Lunch, repeat. Clock out. He asks for more money because his job is too hard.
All these jobs are hard but they also aren’t.
They all have stress and unpleasant aspects and expectations and little ways to screw up and complexities. They all take your time from being with people you love and doing things you enjoy or building a maintaining your life outside of providing an income to use to that purpose.
Ask a stay at home parent or even a basement dwelling unemployed gamer and they’ll all likely say there isn’t enough time in the day and they have stress.

Usually the increase is short term because that is how we are wired. In every job you’ll hear many people say things like “I don’t get paid enough for this!” And we can laugh. An actor travels to exotic locations and drives fast cars and plays make believe for 2-14 hours a day and makes several tends or hundreds of millions in a year or less. And they demand a raise because they deserve more for doing that.
A tech worker returns from their three month vacation on unlimited PTO and clocks in at 11am without ever leaving the house. They sit in a chair all day, talk to some people, push some buttons and create or read reports and documents. No one dies and the world keeps spinning if they miss their deadline. They ask for more money than their $50-200k+ salary because the job is so hard.

There are links between earnings and happiness. They aren’t intrinsically linked- you can have a lot of one and not the other or little of one and much of the other- but they do tend to have a relationship. That relationship is different for different people.
Where you live and your life circumstances and goals and age and the sorts of things you enjoy using money for and how much those cost, your personality and psychology etc.
That said there doesn’t appear to be a long term correlation between increased pay and job or general satisfaction.

And it still can seem like not enough. I know first and second hand that you can make 6 figures or more and get decent and regular raises and still be pushed to a point or just be so done that you don’t even care and you’ll even take a job for less money if it means not having to deal with your job or company or the people involved etc.
It’s mostly only short term thinkers or people with critical financial situations or a “hustle and grind” mindset that leave over the money alone.
Even if you’re company is underpaying you then that still is likely not all about money- you’re likely upset or insulted that your company is so cheap or so shady or so crappy or just doesn’t value you.

At the end of the day it is simple truth- the more power given to other groups the less power your own has.
The more diverse the people are who are allowed to compete and take advantage of opportunity, the more competition you have and the less opportunity there is for your group. It’s basic playground stuff. If you are allowed to choose who gets pizza there is more pizza for you and the people you choose. If you must share equally there will be less for you and your people you’ve chosen.
