Yes, but that’s temporary. They’ll get tender after a while 💖

I mean, honest question that I really do not want to google. Is this actually a wide spread problem?
nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 4 hours ago
wide spread

I had an ex who worked in this field, she went to mortuary school and worked in mortuaries, before that she worked in organ transplant. She went into the field because of a combination of personal tragedy (a close one passing away at an early age) and seeing how delicately the mortuary and handled the event.
Anyhow, she and I would talk about it often. One of the things she would note on, wasn’t that it was sexual based things men would do (besides general office sexism coming from men on occasion), but more about the level of respect they showed the deceased. Crude Comments they’d make about their weight, features etc…
So I think it just depends and it would be difficult to verify these other claims because the “victims” are deceased and most things related to it seem to be anecdotal.
I’m also not going to google necro in anyway

Shitty pay, crappy hours, being surrounded by the dead all the time… You either gotta love the job or end up loving the dead…
Some jobs need to be done, but who’s to do them? Can one be completely sane and handle this kind of life without issue for years on end? Most of the people employed tell themselves it’s just a job and spend their time dodging the reality of handling the dead all the time, but a few… well… they go all in.
Normal is a state of mind that has us come to grips with that which is beyond our control.

My wife was in the funeral industry for a while and studying mortuary sciences. She says she left because it was too depressing being pressured to upsell grieving families all the time.

You know that Dr. Who meme? The one where the blonde woman asks “Is it a lot?”
Just think of it that way.

I’m guessing it’s hard to come by reliable stats. It’s on the same level as priests abusing children, the cover-up would be extensive.

I fucking hate humans.

What exactly are the reasons?
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
Less pay, longer hours, and the hiring manager plans to sexually harass his workforce.
KindnessIsPunk@lemmy.ca 4 hours ago
Now that’s believable

Apparently they think women don’t wanna fuck corpses. But I am pretty sure the people that go into that industry are probably cut from the same cloth
Soulg@ani.social 4 hours ago
If that’s actually the reason then I must be doing pretty good mentally because it would’ve taken me a while to think of that, not a “we all know because it’s obvious” tier thing

It’s mechanically difficult for women to do it since corpses don’t have blood flow. Much more creativity needed.

Reminds me of the old Tom Lehrer joke:
“…a story about a young necrophiliac who finally achieves his boyhood ambition by becoming coroner.
… The rest of you can look it up when you get home.”

Honestly, no idea what’s the reason

A father takes his five year old to the high school principal and says that he’d like to enroll him. The principal says that little John is goign to have to prove he can handle the work. Principal writes an algebra problem and shows it to the lad. John answers it without using a pencil. He asks some history and political questions. John nails them all.
Turns to the father. “This last question is to see if he has the emotional maturity we expect of our students.
“Johnny, what’s a four letter word that ends in U-N-T and means a woman?”
“Aunt.”
“Congratulations. Johnny can come to high school.”
As they walk home, dad says to Johnny, “I’m so proud of you. I know I would have messed up that last question”

Male dominated and women preferred are not mutually exclusive, for example if women rarely apply for this type of job

I actually googled it and deleted my comment bc it seems to have done a nice little 180 since I went! Apparently now about 70% of mortuary science graduates are women!

No, but telling them about your Twitch channel was a bad idea.
