Yup, let's praise ONLY the female truck drivers as "Coronavirus heroes" and ignore the rest!

Tmomp · 2020-04-10T01:58:39+00:00

All 19 of them nationwide.

Let's also send a shout out to all the female sanitation workers for continuing to pick up the trash. There's gotta be at least 5 of them.

spssps · 2020-04-10T01:35:51+00:00

Are they going to do one on all the heroic male nurses directly fighting the virus, too?

MBV-09-C · 2020-04-10T03:03:22+00:00

This is why I don't watch the news anymore. During good times: "man bad"

Tragedy happens: "we need good men"

Tragic novelty wears off: "praise the smallest group of women only"

Dunkolunko · 2020-04-10T03:34:17+00:00

"Aren't male truckers, the vast majority, doing the same thing?"

"WHY DO YOU FEEL THE NEED TO MAKE EVERYTHING ABOUT MEN? CAN'T WOMEN HAVE THIS ONE THING? EVEN IF IT'S A THING MEN DO FAR MORE OFTEN WITHOUT THE SAME APPRECIATION?"

theholdencaulfield_ · 2020-04-10T06:00:38+00:00

How much validation do women need 🤦🏻‍♂️ like seriously, don't they have any self esteem? How long will they keep depending on external validation to feel better about themselves

Pooper69Scooper · 2020-04-10T01:45:36+00:00

Truck drivers typically don’t keep the shelves full, they tend to deliver and leave. Not always the case, but for the bulk of products it is

Lion_amongst_gods · 2020-04-10T07:28:57+00:00

A peek into their SOP

Case 1

A small portion of the population (both men and women, or sometimes mostly men) suffers a problem.
Media focusses only on the female victims.
A) Extrapolates that as a problem faced by all women.
B) Eclipse it as a problem faced by women only.
Somehow blame the men of causing the problem.

Case 2

A small portion of the population (both men and women, or sometimes mostly men) does some sacrifice, achieves some great feat, does anything good.
Media focusses only on the female achievers/ contributors.
A) Extrapolates that as an achievement by all women.
B) Eclipse it as an achievement accomplished by women only.
Somehow blame the men of not doing enough.

Examples are plenty. Covid exposed some of the media hypocrisy. Every time there's a scientific discovery or a rocket launch, cancer media like puffho, botchfeed write puff pieces "Meet the women behind this milestone", "Without these women, this rocket wouldn't even have a pointy tip" and something like that... It's simply condescending.

I’d be way more okay with this if they were praising male nurses and teachers too but no of course not

lastlaugh100 · 2020-04-10T04:13:25+00:00

funny how they praise female truckers but don't talk about male nurses

you can't fucking win

RealBiggly · 2020-04-10T07:28:30+00:00

Jesus fucking Christ on stick.

And the male truckers are literally more vulnerable to this shit, but still working.

N19864 · 2020-04-10T02:13:02+00:00

Remember, they are doing this while domestically abused, earning 75% of what a man earns for the same work, and sexually harassed in high heels.

In all seriousness, thanks to all truckers and ALL essential workers, no matter the gender. As to the majority of the gynocentric media, a big F U!

Afghanboi27 · 2020-04-10T06:52:51+00:00

Most truckers are male...

Neveah_Hope_Dreams · 2020-04-10T08:55:35+00:00

Seriously??? Why? Just why? Who the hell would specifically focus on female drivers?

school-is-thehotdrop · 2020-04-10T01:18:18+00:00

They only do local deliveries too

2020-04-10T04:19:25+00:00

I have a friend who drives trucks, he's sitting on his butt.

According to him the only work he can get atm is 'essentials' delivering to wallmart will pay 53 cents a mile, under ordinary circumstances a good rate, but he says, the distribution centers are so vast and so congested that it can take 45 minutes to an hour from the time you get there to drive around to the loading area, and then another half hour to get back out and on the road.

he's no hero.

grockboldman · 2020-04-10T09:40:15+00:00

I’ll make sure to tell my truck driver husband that he should make sure to thank any females he sees out on the road. Ffs.

W33b_Lord · 2020-04-10T11:21:27+00:00

Takes a couple seconds to look up that females make up a whopping 6% of all truckers but that won't stop this kind of idiocy from being posted...

5th_Law_of_Robotics · 2020-04-10T11:43:43+00:00

Presumably any article discussing nurses will focus exclusively on male nurses.

Right?

ClubZlut · 2020-04-10T11:53:42+00:00

Let's just praise everyone out there doing what they can to keep us moving forward. Don't give a fuck what's between your legs.

bchoco · 2020-04-10T07:34:30+00:00

Shout out to leftover women doing a man's work once in awhile.

AveenoFresh · 2020-04-10T10:02:09+00:00

Reminds me of the black hole picture thing.

IronJohnMRA · 2020-04-10T12:51:06+00:00

For those wondering why this happened, please have a look at this video by Man Woman Myth, "Men Don't Exist":

Ironwarrior29 · 2020-04-10T17:11:15+00:00

So they ignore that it's almost all men?

thereslcjg2000 · 2020-04-10T14:18:30+00:00

Good god, why is the media so allergic to praising men?

2020-04-10T17:03:35+00:00

This is the "equality" feminism promotes. Praising female workers, while ignoring male ones. Female truckers? Heroines! Male truckers? Just doing their job!

llamantha · 2020-04-10T17:08:00+00:00

I'm a woman against feminism. I don't get what is so unique about a woman that works. Why do they need to be praised for deciding to have a career instead of raising children? Personally I just don't get the logic. I'm totally cool with staying home, raising children and doing all the housework. That sounds easy and fun! I'm in college but I don't plan to get a job if my husband already is well off, and I will probably get a job if I get bored in my 50s.

McFeely_Smackup · 2020-04-10T16:41:08+00:00

This really should be insulting to women. These endless media stories on "amazing women" who are doing things considered mundane for men are basically condescending and clearly suggesting doing "male normal" jobs is a huge step up for women.

Aren't they basically saying heroism is so normal for men that we don't even recognize it happening?

The-Deviant-One · 2020-04-10T22:43:25+00:00

I'm sure all four of them are very busy.
