I like to go grocery shopping at Walmart on Black Friday. I’m not fazed. I was there in the trenches with my aunt for Tickle me Elmo and Beanie Babies. I was born and bred for this.

World News@lemmy.world•Italy now recognizes the crime of femicide and punishes it with life in prisonEnglish
115·3 days agoIt’s not just about murder. It’s about how men are the primary perpetrators of violence against women. As a woman, If I go out anywhere my #1 fear is a man. We are taught to never go outside alone at night, even in our own neighborhoods. We are taught not to trust strange men. We have to protect our drinks if we go out to socialize. Every position we find ourselves in we have to consider whether its safe or not. We can’t walk across a parking lot to our cars without worrying if a man will do something. Hell, we even have to consider if smiling at a man or not will trigger him. It sounds crazy and over the top but it’s the reality of being a woman. Constant awareness of everything and everyone around us. On average the weakest man is stronger than the average woman. It’s very easy to overpower us so we must be vigilant to never get into that position in the first place. It’s fucking exhausting having to think these things about every man we meet.
I’m sorry about what has happened to you, it’s wrong and you deserve justice. You shouldn’t be ignored just because you’re a man and it is perceived that you can’t be a victim in these cases. I don’t agree with that at all and I really feel for you. But you need to understand the things that happen to women every minute and that’s the point of what Italy is doing.

My Furby terrified me. It would just start talking in the middle of the night so I put it in the closet. It kept talking in the closet as well so I crushed it with my grandma’s hospital bed. I got in huge trouble for that because it actually broke the hospital beds leg raising feature. It got stuck in the raised position and she had to permanently sleep with her legs up until it was replaced.
