This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.

thatdarnchat Women are generally more supportive of socialized resources because they're the ones budgeting, maintaining living spaces, travelling around cities running errands, finding free or low cost activities, booking appointments, dealing with insurance companies.
More men would be too, if they didn’t have women in their lives buffeting them against the damages of absent structural support.
