Yes, we are all Belén. 😢
The movie Belén is Argentina’s International Feature Film entry for the upcoming Oscars. The true story follows Belén (a pseudonym), who is falsely imprisoned for having an abortion when she really had a miscarriage.

I have a young relative being raised by conservative parents. He's only 3, but already darn near everything in his life is determined by his gender. He's told he likes trains, tractors, and trucks, and he listens to Pavarotti so he "knows what a man is supposed to sound like." He's THREE YEARS OLD.

I don't want to hear another word about "protecting women's sports" from people who are not athletes in, or fans of, women's sports.

Workers are not paid based on how much their job benefits society. They're paid based on whatever someone is willing and able to pay them. Let's stop pretending that low-wage work isn't valuable. Those workers deserve better.

Companies that refuse to pay their employees well end up with people who are only there because they can't go someplace better. The good employees leave, and the ones that stay do the bare minimum. You end up with a toxic work environment that provides mediocre customer service and terrible products
