I wanted to share this here, or LWMA, idk but I better putting here, and wanted to share that, I always try to think that, Anti Man mentality is super rare in real life, and can be common online, depending on things, algorithm, etc etc.

But I am honestly feeling that, theres still anti man bias and talking points seeping in real life too.

For example, I volunteer at a local transit advocacy group in my city, and they have partnership with lots of leftwing advocacy and social justice advocacy groups too. And Most members in this group are amazing passionate for better transit etc.

But only 4 other 5 of them, they do talk politics, but they alway share arguments that feels stereotyping against man or things.

Such as,

Whenever they talk about Anti Transit people, and Car brained people opposing transit infrastructure in city and city council, etc. They casually refer them as,

• "Why these divorced single dads want to drive big ass trucks.. No wonder why their kids dont want to talk with them why they are divorced, what a losers.."
• Referring trucks as "Gender Affirming Trucks" and even trying to clue things like, they have small pp issue or insecurity issues etc. They have no friends, no partners, etc etc
• Referring all Lanlords especially the bad ones as "Men" like as if theres no woman landlords etc etc.
• There were some other off topic arguments that feels similar as how online is...

But all in general, idk tbh. And Also I have been with my therapist, she is very understanding about my life issues, childhood trauma and things, and so on. And she even said, she care about men and their things, she even have majority of men clients, and she even did masters thesis on male issues.

But in conversations with her she is amazing, supportive, but feels like, she wont believe that, these anti man things seem to exist in real life as well, in casually, but not that intense like online here. As she did say, "Theres anti man bias, but most are online, you can ignore them by not looking at online and they wont affect you anyway..."

Yet these type anti man stereotype feels seeping in low casual covert manner in real life such as, this advocacy group as example.

And with my family, I have bad experiences with them with other things just classic bad parents and stupid expectations like in South Asia.

But like with my sibling, she have opened a real estate company this year, and she did tell me, she wants to make me CEO of that company, which is a family business according to her.

I said "No, I ain't be going to be one, cause of things happens with you and parents, and also people in general sees successful men in real estate including those tech and large business as evil, and losers, and small dick issues... Trump supporters, rightwingers... Not just that, I am not interested in Real estate investments anyways...."

Here when I did mention, "Small Dick huh everyone thinks they have small dick huh like if I do, sounds like I have one huh..." She asked me, "Do you have small dick? is it small?"

Idk why she said, but I said away, No I dont have, but people will assume..." She said, "You dont have it, then why worry?' I then said, "Sure no one will call you small tit or small V girl lol.. will they.." She immediately said, "Yike can we not say this words, not good..."

IDK whatever, it feels like my sister seems to have the similar bias too, Also she do watch tiktok a lot.

All in overall, I honestly start to feel like, I wanna hate humanity, like they just fucking want to hate each other want to be bigoted, and wants to be trendy and hive minded without having a thought.

IDK I am so depressed with my life, cause of my childhood trauma and bad experiences with parents and my culture back country, all have destroyed my life, no hopes, no jobs, and things and then seeing this seeping in person

IDK This what I wanted to rant here, of course I have to disclaimer that, I am not blaming woman, I am blaming humanities, because women are human like men like us, we all just ficking suck.

I know there’s no anti man things in this post.

But I wanted to point out that, domino was geni abd used the common keyword used in anti man posts. the 99% men keyword.

And she managed to get 35 million views, when usually she gets 10k views…

Thats what I wanted to show to say that algorithm is designed to boost anything that includes anti man keywords

Basically my therapist Z work in 2 clinic, I see her at clinic A, and I am thinking to switch to clinic B, when keeping same therapist Z.

Did anyone do that? how’s the process?

I am thinking to do that cause the clinic A did not treat me respectfully and breached my confidential information to wrong person.

Hi, I am a client of a therapist I see in Canada Ontario, and I am curious, I am aware about the non solicitation clause, where therapist can't "take" clients to another clinics. It can apply when therapist is leaving the practice or anything.

But how about this scenario, where a client see therapist at this clinic A, and knows that the therapist works at Clinic B as well. So client moves to Clinic B.

What therapist have to expect or consider and with clauses like "non solicitation clause"

Looking forward your answers :)

Edit: Based of comments, I have to clarify, This is not about the Issue with the Emergency Contact..., This is about, the your parents number being put as your number in that clinic contact form, and they will end up calling them instead of your, for communication about your health record things..

I am 25, Bangladeshi, and I’ve been living and working independently in Canada for a decade (came here as a student and currently working).

I was venting to a Bangladeshi friend here about my therapist's clinic, as this clinic shared my therapist information and health information to my sister, referring to her as "my name"…

But my friend's response was weird, Like he instantly assumed my parent’s contact was saved as primary contact on my clinic record. Like he literally said "I think that’s because that’s their primary contact, so clinic is contacting you through them…"

I felt it weird and was like who a healthy adult who doesn’t have learning or extreme disabilities (No disrespect with people with those), but some sensory disabilities (Hearing), that don’t need any dependence on any adults, needs to put their parent’s contact on their health records as a primary contact? 

When I told him my family member’s contacts were never on my record, he literally told me "don't take it personally" and asked if my parents know about my health and whatever was shared by clinic… 

Like is this a common thing in Bangladeshis living abroad? 

Do people in our community abroad, put their parents as primary contacts, or is my friend just projecting?

Share your thoughts…
