I didn't see the eyes at first and though the mustache and beard were representing them, turning the genie into biblically accurate version

Genie: congratulations you are now a health insurance CEO! You will not know suffering for the rest of your days

You can't see it but the genie also changed his name.

easy is relative. all depends on how you see the world. while there is quantitative evidence for genetics to play a part in it, ease can be changed just as much by the person as by the environment.

Yeah, because being objectified and sexualised from before you even hit puberty, having fewer rights (including those to your own body), getting paid less for the same work and not at all for all the work that isn't considered work by men like raising kids and running a home, wondering if we're one of the women who WILL statistically get murdered by their partner on any given week, being subjected to near constant rape threats and almost certainly (again, statistically it's pretty much all women) surviving sexual harassment and abuse if not rape too and then facing an entire system dedicated to discrediting and blaming you while protecting the abusers ("wouldn't want to ruin his life over a bit of fun"), as well as having to deal with misogynistic asshats such as yourself who convince themselves that because men buy us drinks at bars (in an expectation of sex, of course) we've got it easy, and pretend none of the other things are happening because it's easier to gaslight your victims than it is to accept that you're a massive and active part of the problem, on a daily basis, is a real fucking treat..

Ass.

Also @spujb@lemmy.cafe - I think this thread would fit right in to your collection.
