Additional context because I know the radfems are going to get their hands on this and love it:

• "Korea has the largest gender pay gap in the rich world, with women earning 31 percent less than men, and women still face widespread discrimination in the labor market, something the movement recognizes."
• "In 2016, a young man murdered a young woman in a Seoul public bathroom, telling police after that he killed her because women had always ignored him. Despite the perpetrator’s own statement, police refused to label the murder a hate crime. Furious, women flocked to online feminist message boards, communities, and chat forums. This wave of digital feminism attracted women from all backgrounds, including working-class women like Minji and Youngmi, making it different from traditional Korean feminism, which was largely confined to universities, NGOs that often received government support, and other elite spaces.
• In December of that year, as Korea’s fertility rate hovered at 1.2 births per woman (it has since slid to 0.78, the lowest in the world), the Korean government launched an online “National Birth Map” that showed the number of women of reproductive age in each municipality, illustrating just what it expected of its female citizens. (South Korean president Yoon Suk-yeol won the election in March 2022 with a message that blamed feminism for Korea’s low birth rate, and a promise to abolish the country’s Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. ) Women were outraged by the map, observing that the government appeared to consider them “livestock”; one Twitter user reportedly created a mock map illustrating the concentration of Korean men with sexual dysfunction. Several of these digital feminists responded with a boycott to the reproductive labor expected by the state and decided that the surest way to avoid pregnancy was to avoid men altogether.
• It was through these online communities that 4B emerged as a slogan, and ultimately a movement.

It's not just about hating men.

It's a political statement and protest for equality that specifically seeks to eliminate the way the way Korean women are used, abused, discarded within the patriarchy by their own refusal to participate in any of it or associate with anyone who benefits from it.

It's very specifically about Demanding equality from men in power by refusing to take part in the patriarchy and challenging the way it perceives women.

It's becoming a topic in the west now and so I wanted to add all this context with the addendum that this is NOT an inherently transphobic movement. It's also completely autonomous meaning there is no "leader" of it.

Each person will have their own reasons and method of participating in this movement. Anyone can join or be part of it. Yes this includes radfems and TERFs so when they eventually try to co-opt this movement as their own let's remember that they don't speak for all feminists and theyre definitely NOT the voice of oppressed Korean women who started this, and as such have No reason to put themselves in the spotlight of this movement. And we have no reason to let them.

Let’s talk about how fast food (and the service industry in general.) needs it’s employees more then they need the employers 1.) it’s the employee that has to demonstrate the skill expected from the average consumer {which is to get the food or service that was requested as requested and within a specific timeframe that is often but not always reasonable.} 2.) it’s the labor of the employee that turns raw material into the final product. Prep work, sanitation, rotation of stock. All of these facilitate that and all of these are handled by the employee. 3.) given 1&2 the only remaining aspects and the sole responsibility of an employer is to a.) maintain supplies b.) keep the employee happy. An employer that fails to meet both requirements will fail to maintain an effective work force. Because WE GOT A UNION

BBC article here, including a two minute video featuring the CCTV clips that prove the police were lying

The two boys killed were riding an e-bike; the police were in a van. The boys were 16-year-old Kyrees Sullivan, and 15-year-old Harvey Evans.

why does it say "safe for work"? Are we just going to start labeling anything that is safe for work?

I was trying to be funny 😔

For anyone who needs the joke explained:

The figures in the video are being depicted with a combination of tool and garb typically associated with working class labor, and most workplace safety regulations and manuals don't prohibit the maneuvers or behaviors this video's figures were engaging in with this tool, they were likely not breaking any safety regulations and arguably were being functionally safe while also being depicted as being in a workplace environment.

They were being *literally* safe for work.
