poor people get treated as dumb and ignorant bc we don't always know how shit works but that's usually not ignorance or stupidity imo.
I have a haircut tomorrow. I've done it in my bathroom since I was in middle school, save for twice as birthday gifts over the past 8-12 years. I don't know what to expect, what the etiquette is, what they even do, because I genuinely didn't think to go somewhere to cut my hair for 10ish years.
when I lived in a city, I had a friend visit. she couldn't figure out the transit system, rideshares, or anything. the town we grew up in has none of that. she's a smart woman, but people got so confused when she couldn't figure it out.
this is just basic stuff, but my point is that poor people are left without what seems like basic knowledge because we just don't have the money to need to know how to use it or our communities just lack it, be it haircuts or uber. and that's small, silly stuff compared to things like credit scores or retirement funds. why and how are you supposed to know what an IRA is when you can't afford to put money into it? how do you shop for healthcare, for fair interest rates when buying a car or house, when there's never been enough money to make that even seem relevant to your life?
then so many of these companies know you don't know. yeah, 200% interest for a payday loan is normal because you've never had the ability to build credit and get a less predatory loan. you have to have car insurance in the US, and very specific, expensive insurance if you've had certain criminal convictions like a DUI, but you need to drive for work. so you pick the cheapest policy, especially if you have a record, and it covers nothing. you crash or get hit, it goes up and you're left w the fees, not the company.
we can talk about financial literacy being an issue, but we don't really talk about why. or the fact that, even if you know you're very well-educated on why this whole system is clownery all the way down, you're still stuck with lack of experience, lack of credit, and lack of options. and you get to hear middle class and rich liberals talk about how you just need more education, when that education can't be applied on the regular. so you say smth and it's just "oh, yeah, I have student loans, I get it." like no, dude, I'm talking payday loans, shitty insurance, evictions on record from not knowing your own rights because you're too busy working for $7.25 or $15 or whatever.
we don't need education so much as we need options, especially for women.

this does not apply if you wear exclusively leggings. Those things tear all the time you need like a million on standby

A man on TikTok got mad when women kept choosing “bear” in “What would you prefer to see when you’re by yourself, a man or bear in the woods” and he was like “well my mommy got attacked by a bear and survived then wrote a book about it which is why you choosing bear hurts my feelings :(“ and everyone’s stitching it like, my mom was literally murdered by a man and he responds like, “I hope one day people will stop being so mean and taking the worst from strangers :((((. What about MY mommy who survived the bear attack.”
