I’m pretty sure removing the “during pregnancy” part of the title would make it FAR more accurate.

Women historically receive less/worse treatment than men.

We wait an average of 65 minutes before receiving an analgesic for acute abdominal pain in the ER in the United States, while men wait only 49 minutes. Source

Also from the same article

women in pain are much more likely than men to receive prescriptions for sedatives, rather than pain medication, for their ailments.

I have personally experienced both, and have had my husband speak for me, after being dismissed, and got a wildly different response.

Studies show that women’s perceptions of gender bias are correct. Compared with male patients, women who present with the same condition may not receive the same evidence-based care. In several key areas, such as cardiac care and pain management, women may get different treatment, leading to poorer outcomes source

a study this month found that women are less likely than men to get CPR from a bystander, and are more likely to die.
The research, funded by the American Heart Association and the National Institutes of Health, found that only 39% of women who have a cardiac arrest in a public place were given CPR, versus 45% of men. Men were 23% more likely to survive source

I could go on and on about it, but women universally receive worse medical care.

Don’t forget the tax exemption status.

About a year ago I decided to remove my name from my email signature. It’s mind boggling how different email replies/inquiries are now. People just assume I’m a man because making cars go fast = men things. When they finally meet me, or talk to me on the phone, there’s an instant demeanor change. Some not bad, others hostile.

Not to diminish anything enlisted woman have gone through, but this is by no means unique to military service. I am a women, who works in a very male dominated field, and the hostility, belittling, sexism, etc I have to endure, that my male counterparts don’t is massive.

Grew up in San Diego, which is surrounded by military bases (mostly marine corp and navy). This is absolutely the truth. There is also the whole never experiencing anything outside their bubble factor too. I’ve met a few pretty intelligent enlisted “grunts” who just never saw anything but their one stop sign town, that has NO diversity, and some really assbackwards ideas.

How very Nissan of them. For a company that’s been building cars for about half a century, you’d think they’d have figured out the simple shit by now.

I’ve tried multiple variations of those, and they all end up smelling/tasting horrible anyhow. Thanks though. What we are doing works well for us.

I rent so I’m stuck with that I’ve got. As I’ve said, I can’t do anymore due diligence here.

I’ve also had to switch water companies 4 or 5 times now because nestle keeps buying up the little local companies. I also use stainless or glass bottles for drinking out of.

Nestle claims they still used the same spring as the last company (which had the best tasting water) but as soon as nestle took over it tasted exactly like the rest of the arrowhead shit. Plus the service went to hell. So I switched to sparkletts.

I do use reusable steel and glass bottles.

I understand that, but I can’t do anymore due diligence than I have done.

I’ve also had to switch water companies 3 or 4 times now because fucking nestle keeps buying the small local companies. Fuck nestle.

I’m imagine it depends who the service company for the filling machine is. Our delivery is from sparkeletts, and I made sure to get the spring water, not the filtered water.

Sparkletts has a filter option which iirc they call primo and a spring water option. I get the spring water, so unless they are flat out lying, no it’s not in my case.

It’s spring water from sparkletts. I made sure not to get just filtered tap water. Unless they are flat out lying about what is in the bottles (not saying it’s even a far stretch, but I can’t do any more due diligence)

Everyone for years - “Why do you waste money on bottled water” (the big 5 gallon kind on a dispenser)
Me - Uh, have you ever had tap water?

Don’t forget women have historically received worse care, than their male counterparts. In addition, since much of medicine/treatments/tests/etc has been tested on men only, there are gap in care for women because the same things may not be true for them as a man.

So, yes, both are probably true, but I think there is a quality of care improvement for part of the population, finally. Even if it’s only minor

It says further down in the article that he was busted down to private and is in the brig for 11 months. I suspect that most people don’t understand how the military ranking systems work anyhow, so it really means very little to most people, until you throw around words like general or commandant.

@Dashi

@GFGJewbacca

It recently had been in CA

The exception being people who they don’t think will show up in court. These people would definitely fall in that category.

Aren’t they in CA? CA cash bail programs recently.

Guess these two fall into the exception part. Where no one is sure they will show up in court.

It’s both.

@mashi right, but those aren’t apple’s ads, they are the news sources’, since it’s redirecting to their page (afaik).
