@MarkHoltom

It makes her male if she's putting on her skirt, too: "L'ingénieur a mis sa jupe." Her bra? Male. "L'ingénieur a mis son soutien-gorge." Her tampon? Male. "l'ingénieur porte son tampon."

BUT! Add "for her period?"

_That_ tips it over. So we know it _is_ paying attention to context...

...it just _really_ doesn't want to admit such a thing as a female engineer. Even when you're explicitly giving her gender via a pronoun.

Neat. By which I mean, fuck you google.

@MarkHoltom It is _so hard_ to make Google translate say "engineer" in the female form.

It's less difficult than it used to be. It used to change "She is an engineer" directly to "He is an engineer. Today, it gets that much right. But it's still a struggle.

If you enter "The engineer puts on her trousers," it changes it to "L'ingénieur a mis son pantalon," using the male form of engineer. And if you swap it to put it back to English, it's "the engineer puts on his trousers." And so on.

Today's tech-adjacent what-are-the-bros-thinking grumble:

Dudes who equate the problem of surveillance capitalism with the problem of gendered violence stalking.

Yes, surveillance by Google is bad.

No, it is not "the same" or "worse" than ex partner stalking. Because unlike some men who can't handle their feelings, Google doesn't fucking murder people.

(If this isn't you, no need to get offended and tell me so. If it *is* you, please have a think.)

Yes this is about the comments under the Techcrunch article.

Hey Meloni, do you like even though you're massively fash, all the fash men just see you as hole to fill with their dick?
No matter how racist and homophobic you are, they'll never see you as anything more than somewhere to get their dick wet.

Let's see you blame this on the Gays....

The Guardian · Murders of two female students prompt calls for a ‘cultural rebellion’ in ItalyBy Angela Giuffrida

Words matter.

For a moment let's look beyond Trump's nonsense tariff "plan" which is certain to cause global harms.

Please consider the words this abuser chose to use in defending the tariffs:

"our country has been looted, pillaged, raped and plundered”

😡 I understand the economic damage is occupying everybody's thoughts but we must call Trump out for trivializing sexual assault in this way. Allowing these phrases to go unchallenged is harmful to survivors and affects public discourse / social norms.

💜 April is #SAAM (Sexual Assault Awareness Month) - please call out this sad excuse of a man for his mysogynistic, moronic, and ironic phrasing.

The monotheistic religions made it normal to squash people: "I think there is something really special about the Bible [...] which is precisely this idea that the revelation of truth comes through the suffering of the weak." (Matthieu Poupart)

Then the Renaissance made it easier to blame the victim: With modernity, "it is the person who takes no initiative who is seen as responsible for the emergence of sexual promiscuity." (Matthieu Poupart)

Here's an example of Gilead's money and power attacking our native culture and laws and nobody in Westminster wants to do anything about it because we are to become Gilead's vassal.

Not even a 51st State, just a whipping boy like Puerto Rico

And that's the dream Starmer has for us.

From the people who yell 24/7 that there are only 2 genders
and it's biological
and they're physically different
and they should be treated separately:

"Let's apply men's physical standards to women and call it 'gender neutral'. But only in the military! Don't touch the bathrooms!"
