They’re eliminating women and empowering racism. The sign is obvious. Duh

Turns out it was much worse than this. Showed it to my wife and she said they had actually printed this on all their stationaries and pretty much anything that had their logo on it. Apparently this was several years ago. From her experience working there that slip up was pretty accurate.

Nah, that actually happened. Shit was bad then.
Not long after my wife and her coworkers were fired for reporting workplace harassment. They were sexual assault victim advocates.

But as it turned out it was even worse than that. It was an employee that wanted to expose them and instead of anyone caring he 'disappeared' only later to be found tied up in the woods with a bucket covering a hole on his stomach

u/Select_Egg_7078 Dec 02 '22
well, the good thing is, most of those stories are based on highly exaggerated urban myths and total ass pulls. maybe like 1 in 5 were based on real events, but even those were pretty exaggerated.

They destroyed everything once they realized as no org in their right mind would keep it, but that wasn’t before they actually started shipping it out.
I’m of the opinion that it was a giant FU by someone on their way out the door as things were not all well and good within the YWCA.
Wife wishes they had kept some of that stuff as her coworkers and herself were fired for reporting workplace harassment.

Harassment bullshit was about 6 years ago iirc, and this wouldn’t have been too long before that. Around that time there was a pretty bug disconnect between the big YWCA and all the people on the ground level that actually believed in it. My wife bemoaned numerous times that she wished whoever was running the Twitter account should shut the hell up.

It's clearly a bad Photoshop job. The words on the end are not lined up right and are slightly off-color. They tried to hide it by lowering the quality of the rest of the photo, too. Amateur work.

You did this once before dude. Read your own source before trying to correct people. Your post says “Eliminating Racism, Empowering Women”. The OP here has it photoshopped to say “Eliminating Women, Empowering Racism”

Batman (defeated tone): No thank you, Admiral. You've been very helpful.
Admiral: Avast and belay, Batman, your tone sounds rather grim. We haven't done anything foolish have we?
Batman (sarcastically): Disposing of pre-atomic submarines to persons who don't leave their full address? Good day, Admiral.

Imagine all the stages this had to go through, and not a single person realized something was wrong. Unless it’s intentional, but for my own mental health, I’ll assume it’s not.

Also, get your fucking fake corpo pr bs away from us. It's a ywca, ain't nobody going their to promote racism fuck off. That's like saying "empowering women. Eliminating cold soup" yeah both sentiments are good. But your a place where people go to work out. Your not my friend I'm having a discussion with. You're a corporate money making ploy with no regard to actual humanity.

White man, there's no need to feel down
I said, white man, pick yourself off the ground
I said, white man, you can blame those darn browns
Theyre the reason you're unhappy
Young man, there's a place you can go
I said, young man, when you're mad at the hoes
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to commit hate crime
It's based to stay at the Y.W.C.A.
Almost as based as the N.S.D.A. (P)
Come hide from the gay C.I.A
Yeah we're more based than the whole, KKK
