@caitskirby Part of the issue is there are two disabled communities that have vastly different needs (but they do overlap creating confusion).
The one I represent professionally has work-preclusive impairments; the other community is trying to not be discriminated against in the workplace.
@caitskirby The one trying to get into the workplace without being discriminated against pushes for "differently-abled," "handicapable," and so on as "disabled" implies they can't do the work that they want to have the opportunity to do (and they can actually do with little accommodation).
@caitskirby Those with work-preclusive disabilities are actively harmed by this can-do rhetoric because politicians and the public-at-large haven't figured out that there are 2 very different though slightly overlapping disabled populations.
What's the harm experienced?
@caitskirby The can-do rhetoric of the handicapable makes politicians and the general public believe that work-preclusive disabilities aren't actually work-preclusive which causes the law and policy of the Social Security Administration to change such that it more difficult to get benefits.
@caitskirby The handicapable no more separates the disabled into 2 populations in their rhetoric than the politicians or the general public do, but there are 2 populations and they have very different needs that need to be served separately.
@caitskirby The hangup over being called "disabled" only comes from the handicapable side as the handicapable view being called "disabled" as an impediment toward equality.
@BrassVon @FoucaultFanatic @Oneiorosgrip @threadreaderapp @PhilMitchell83 @SocialSecurity Actually, the economic value is worth less than $1,620/month and it has to be worth less than that or stay-at-home wives would be considered performing substantial gainful activity and thereby ineligible for disability benefits administered by the Social Security Administration.
@BrassVon @FoucaultFanatic @Oneiorosgrip @threadreaderapp @PhilMitchell83 @SocialSecurity The Social Security Administration doesn't generally consider "household tasks" and "self-care" to be substantial gainful activity (even where one is getting in-kind payment like living rent-free).

@Oneiorosgrip @FoucaultFanatic @PhilMitchell83 Should someone tell her the (formerly feminist-approved) scientific solution to the incel problem?
One that would make a certain turd-flinging monkey grin.
@Oneiorosgrip @FoucaultFanatic @PhilMitchell83 The solution to the fertility crisis, @FoucaultFanatic, is to decrease female education which raises fertility as “[a] negative correlation is most clearly seen between different levels of female education and the total fertility rate …in a population”().weforum.org/stories/2015/1…
@Oneiorosgrip @FoucaultFanatic @PhilMitchell83 Likewise, “[w]omen’s wage employment is negatively correlated with total fertility rates” ().
It’s simple, @FoucaultFanatic: decrease women’s employment outside of the agricultural sector and thereby increase the total fertility of a population.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC82…

@ActuallyBarley @Oneiorosgrip @dejection234 @LGBTSRH @TheGayChrist @IndiaWilloughby "[I]n 2011[,] …the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS), …found that men and women had a similar prevalence of nonconsensual sex in the previous 12 months (1.270 million women and 1.267 million men)."

The median best way for women to maximize the income available to her is to marry a man.

@AnEriksenWife Broadly speaking, strategy is the overall game plan and tactics are the methods employed to achieve the overall strategy. Generals make strategies; captains, lieutenants, and the like employ tactics. There is a slight overlap between the terms and who uses them.
@AnEriksenWife Both strategies and tactics are goal-oriented planning; the difference (to the degree there’s one) is that strategy is more abstract and tactics are more concrete and grounded. For example, Sun Tzu’s Art of War (孫子兵法) is a book of (general) strategies, not (specific) tactics.
@AnEriksenWife Chess is considered a strategy game because you are moving big pieces (or units) across a battlefield and the particular tactics employed by the units are not supposed to matter or change the outcome (which is a vast over simplification of real battles).
