#in jurisdictions where (as is sane) suicide itself is not criminalised

[loving-n0t-heyting]

I roll my eyes at a lot of “passive voice is propaganda” theorising but I absolutely endorse a similar thesis about the way labour regulations get reported on. Labour rules prohibiting overnight shifts for women (or whatever) are not imposing sanctions on the workers doing the work, they’re imposing sanctions on the employers extracting that work. Duh!! Calling this a ban on women working overnight shifts is like calling homicide laws a ban on being murdered

#similar feelings about ‘right to die’ rhetoric #in jurisdictions where (as is sane) suicide itself is not criminalised #and where the topic is not involuntary commitment
