Hey Pandas, What Social Stigma does Society Need To Get Over?

Other people's life choices, such as deciding not to marry, or not to have children. It's not you f*****g business. And you will never know what trauma you may involuntarily reopen, just by asking a woman why she didn't have a child.

Not wanting to be sociable. I don't want to be forced into team bonding. I don't want to attend a "party" with people I only see because we work together. I don't think "it would be fun" to stand in a loud club paying through the nose for a drink rather stay at home and read. I don't want small talk about your sister's brother's wife's cousin's uncle's next-door-neighbour's friend. It isn't me 'being a miserable misanthrope', I just have different things I enjoy.

Breastfeeding in public- get over it. Does anyone expect you to eat in the bathroom? Or with a blanket over your face? You think its offensive and gross? Well maybe you eating with your mouth open as you chomp chomp chomp your food is gross to me and YOU should be the one to go eat in the bathroom with a blanket over your head. Its just a boob so stop being one. Teach your kids its no big deal. Just say, oh shes just feeding her baby like its the most natural thing cause IT IS. I’m not saying just hang em both out there but it really doesn’t need to be an issue for a baby to be openly on one

Bodily rights. What I choose to do with my body is none of your business, full stop.

LGBTQA+ why does someone else’s personal life, who they are, who they love really truly matter to you? My kiddo is non-binary and their BF is trans. I love them both with all my heart. I would do anything for either of them. But not all of my very conservative LDS family is as understanding. Get over it people!!

Not having enough money.

Maybe you're dressed in out-of-fashion hand-me-downs, or wearing off-brand trainers. Perhaps you don't have the latest phone or earbuds. Is it because you can't afford to meet your friends every week? It could be anything.

Whatever it is, there will always be somebody around who looks down their nose at you because of it. Excludes you from their group. Makes fun of you. Teases or bullies you for it. Maybe your friends get bored of asking and you drift apart.

Whoever you are, whatever your age, please be kind.

Being poor isn't a choice.

Victim blaming/shaming. Specifically in cases of domestic violence or sexual assault.

Being non religious.

Not looking like a Victoria’s Secret model. Curves are appreciated.

People who are disabled, but it is not visible. From someone who has multiple stomach surgeries, my stomach is a war zone. However, I am NOT willing to wear a tube top just to prove I am not “faking it”. Then you have the other hand which is people abusing already slim pickings what with handicap parking.

Forcing your agenda or narrative, whatever it may be, onto people who aren't receptive. Just do you and leave those who want to be left alone, alone.

That elderly folks were born old and have nothing to offer, and thus no longer need respect or deference. Seniors have been there and done that, and younger folks could learn a thing or two if they'd just stop and listen. Our elders have fantastic histories! They lived exciting lives and did extraordinary things, had or have remarkable talents and skills, and are usually thrilled to be asked questions so they can pass their vast and varied knowledge down to younger generations. Some can tell you their entire family tree, going back hundreds of years.
Granted, some become physically and/or mentally incapable of living their daily lives on their own, but they will always deserve respect, affection and compassion. They've earned it.

Being ‘pro-choice’. This refers to a woman’s right to choose whether or not to terminate a pregnancy.
Fundamentally, a pro-choice perspective does not prescribe how a woman should feel
about her pregnancy; rather, it allows a woman to make up her own mind. A pro-choice
position supports the idea that a woman has the right to choose a termination should she decide
she wants one. It is perfectly feasible to hold that perspective and still maintain that you
would not want to make that choice for yourself.

Forcing others to live the way YOU want. This covers everything, all the isms...sexism, ageism, religion, clothing, fashion, culture. Live how you want and leave others be.

The idea that men and women cannot JUST be friends that there is/has to be romance.

That Asians eat and/or abuse cats and dogs. I can't read the comments section of animal videos from Asia without non Asians saying that that cat or dog would be eaten or abused, and as an Asian who loves animals it's heartbreaking

Wanting to be child-free as a woman (gasp, even as a young woman).

As a woman working in a tech store... If I wasn't tech-savvy, I wouldn't be working here. No, I won't call you one of my male coworkers because they "understand it better". Just let me do my job.

That all minorities are the same. That's just simply not true, and is something I've spent my whole life trying rise above! If you look "typical "That doesn't mean you are. People could never see past my looks and always assumed that I was a walking welfare candidate who's lazy and a baby lover. That has NEVER been me!😒

Mask wearing to prevent airborne infectious disease. If you’re insistent on your “freedom” to go unmasked, don’t I get the same freedom to mask up if I want to protect myself against your germs? And can I do so without getting yelled at?
