    I didn’t say anything about gender, and I agree with everything in your comment. In addition, I maintain that the original post’s divide-and-conquer victim-blaming is one of the worst possible takes on the fact that accessing mental health care (in the US) is harder than performing esoteric medieval alchemy.

    All right, either:

    • try to decide what kind of therapist is needed (difficult)
    • figure out what kind of therapy/therapists are covered by insurance (time-consuming and stressful, sometimes impossible)
    • provide a bunch of private information (time-consuming, difficult, and stressful)
    • look through a list of relevant therapists nearby (usually easy)
    • try to identify one that you might relate to or at least be able to deal with (very difficult, sometimes impossible)
    • call them up one at a time to see if they’re really accepting new patients (time-consuming and stressful)
    • try to find a regular time that works in your schedule for the new therapist and for other obligations (difficult)
    • again provide a bunch of private information (time-consuming, difficult, and stressful)
    • go meet with the therapist. try to get along with them because if you don’t it’s your fault and you have to start all over (difficulty varies, sometimes impossible)
    • do all this while dealing with whatever problem you need therapy for (difficulty varies, sometimes impossible)

    Or:

    I know the wording’s a meme, but the hell with whoever made the original post. Fuckem.

    @rabber@lemmy.ca to be specific, !fuckcars@lemmy.world is “A place to discuss problems of car centric infrastructure or how it hurts us all.” The key word there is “infrastructure”.

    Cars are amazing technological achievements, but many places have very poor infrastructure that is too focused on ONLY supporting cars (often single-passenger). This causes a variety of problems as discussed in that community. In fact, if we had better infrastructure you’d be able to enjoy driving even more because there’d be less traffic.

    “Fuck cars” is a bit of a misleading name, but I guess it’s catchier than “hooray infrastructure”.
