Who am I interacting with?

Always smiling @allknowing (153544) • India 5 Oct

Dr Souvik Chatterji @sathviksouvik (23230) 11 Feb 25

We had faculties from Sociology and other departments of other colleges who came to our university and gave insight on gender sensitizations. They said everyone has his or her own gender orientation. It is not necessary that man...

I have seen a lot in my life. I've traveled a little, I've partied a lot, and I've seen characters of all kinds that make up this world of ours. One of the nicest people I have met in my 72 years is gay. These people are kind,...

Career choices by gender

Polang @tkonlinevn (6427) • Vietnam 24 Mar 24

I discovered that it's hard to find a female swimming instructor, but very easy to find a female yoga instructor. Likewise, the trainers in the gym are all men. Do you think we choose careers according to gender?

Do you believe that as a result of the internet, the gap between the rich and the poor is growing or narrowing?

Shavkat @Shavkat (141906) • Philippines 25 Sep 23

In my view, it does not show any gaps between the rich and poor in using the Internet. We can share our thoughts freely here. Of course, we also need to consider the site's rules. It does make sense that gender equality is...

Or am I? I tried changing my avatar this morning. It seems the last one gave people trouble in knowing my gender. I kept getting called, sir. I am NOT a sir. Thank you very much. The last time I looked in the mirror, it showed a...

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 5 Dec 22

This is another post on the subject of transgender. Long ago such a situation was simply not possible of course, then decades ago a person with gender dysphoria was able to undergo extensive surgery and ongoing hormone treatments...

Here’s a controversial suggestion

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 1 Dec 22

I’m sure this is going to be contentious, but I thought I would just throw this out there… In this country, and I believe in other ‘western’ countries, there has been a massive increase in people claiming to be transgender. Why...

Too Many Girls in the Family?

Diana B. @BloggerDi (3121) • United States 1 Aug 22

The photo is me with my four granddaughters. It was taken a few months ago. The girls were 9, 5, 5 and 3 at the time. And no, I don't believe there is such a thing as "too many" of one gender in any family. Every person is a...

With surveillance, law enforcement, insurance company, teaching, job recruitment, banks, and colleges using algorithms we need to take an interest in what this means. Algorithms that are taught by humans, and written by humans,...

Big Brother Watch

celticeagle @celticeagle (189789) • Boise, Idaho 27 Jun 22

We need to watch the watchers. Did you ever read "1984" by George Orwell? You can read passages of it that you may have thought would never really happen in our world but are actually happening in the world today. Cameras are seen...

bonnie @bunnybon7 (50970) • Holiday, Florida 27 Apr 22

Lately I've noticed that for some strange reason, lots of people do not put on their profile what country they are from nor even if they are male or female. Heres the thing, why? It's not like we can just fly there and search...

Shavkat @Shavkat (141906) • Philippines 25 Jul 20
