Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Summary

Walmart fired Dani Davis, a 6'4" cisgender woman, after a man who mistook her for transgender verbally threatened her in a women’s restroom at a Florida store.

Davis, visibly shaken, reported the March 14 incident to her immediate supervisor but was fired for not informing salaried management, allegedly creating a “security risk.”

Davis called the firing discriminatory. After viral backlash, Walmart offered to reinstate her with back pay.

Davis, a longtime employee, is uncertain about returning, citing fears of a hostile work environment.

So, a man went into the ladies' restroom to assault a woman because he's afraid of men entering the ladies' room to assault women.

Oh Florida... You constant shame on the republic.

It's a constant shame on the empire now

Empires need dominion over foreign states, expanding their borders. America would love to be an empire, they are just a wee little dictatorship with an inept conman in charge. I'm hardly worried, mostly just sad to watch it happen in real time.

And they are trying their best. *Pats their back"

I mean, the current borders of the US do include some former foreign states and land previously owned by others, that were taken over in the past, Hawaii for example. Does that not make it an empire, or does that stop counting after a century or so?

You just forget about Samoa and Puerto Rico and all of our other colonies? America is an empire, you're just late to the party of realizing it

This is the desired outcome. They want all women to be as gender conforming and submissive to men as possible. They know it affects women who do not fit the defined conventions of what women are meant to look like / act like / talk like etc. This is actually the main reason they want to do it.

Holy fuck this makes so much sense and I hate it.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 55 points 10 months ago

Then Walmart fires her? WTF, the man should be banned from the store. Fuck Walmart.

A cis man went into the ladies wc to assault a cis woman who he thought was a trans woman because he is afraid that cis men start to use the excuse of being trans women to go into the ladies wc to assault women.

The irony in this whole thing

I had to double take when I read that because it was so mind numbingly stupid. I was like wait… huh? A man berated a woman in the woman’s bathroom?

I thought this whole bathroom thing was about protecting women from men! /s
