I never understood since women could vote that there isn't a woman's political party or movement.

We have reached a great filter for society. If you are a woman and care about your rights you just need to know how a man voted to determine their value. You gotta dump if they voted for Trump.

"your face, my fist"

They don't give any education. That's it. That's the problem. Parents don't talk with kids and/or assume that kid will raise itself if it gets enough freedom, exact opposite happens in 90% of cases. You will understand the problem even more when you remember how many kids are bullied in school and growing frustration is a consequence.

There are actual statistics in this article, unlike these which I think you made up.

You sound like those people saying that COVID was no big deal because "more people die in auto accidents". How many people have to be affected before you deem it newsworthy?

How prevalent the use of the exact phrase 'Your body, my choice' is irrelevant when the intent behind it is so common in other espoused rhetoric. The fact is that too fucking many people are happy to tear up a woman's right to self determination and force women into situations that put their lives at risk. I don't think we can ignore any rhetoric that supports or gives cover to such attacks on a woman's autonomy.

At this point I would not be surprised if we started seeing feminist groups becoming armed and violent. And as much as I have a disdain for political violence, I don't think I could condemn them for doing so.

Did you read the article?

I am asking genuinely.

Practically/virtually no one believes the phrase “your body, my choice.”

It is "practically/virtually" the ideology of pro-rape right-wingers everywhere. Why the fuck do you think they spent so much effort to crush abortion rights?

This is sad to read. I'm sorry 😔.

Yeah, due to the nonexistant moderation TF2 voice chat tends to be the most intolerant thing I've ever heard in my life.

Your rectum, my steel toe. Your eye socket, my bat... My choices for their bodies are endless!

That already happened to like 90% of us thanks to the same cultists.

last week he was posting things online being offensive towards women

he wasn't aware of any increased discrimination happening against women

Umm...

Perhaps he has always posted that much misogynistic stuff so technically it isn't an increase?

Republican

advocate for people's rights

You really can't be both at the same time.

After this election I've had to cut a bunch of people out of my life, even relatives. A lot of them saying such wonderful things as "trump's just saying things, he doesn't actually mean anything he's saying." And then they'd get defensive when I'd ask them why they votes for him then if he doesn't mean anything he says.

It's really hard to cut people out of your life but afterwards it's amazing realizing that you don't need to tip toe around things that may be vaguely political (or explicitly) anymore to not start an argument.

I remember that too. I also remember reading a headline about a Brazilian far-right group travelling to the US to join a KKK meeting, then being upset that the KKK weren't particularly welcoming towards them.

The stupidity is absolutely incredible.

The really gross part is this is firmly not just Americans being stupid this time, and has somehow become The Thing To Say Online for the whole damn planet full of incel types.

The lizard brains always existed. Inbred, maladjusted, loud angry hateful fucks. We used to be able to suppress them. We ceded the helm of this nation to a bunch of corporations and their puppets in congress. We've been trying like hell to fight this multi front battle and are just taking Ls across the board.

We are burning books. Banning knowledge.

We are entering an environment where many do not have the luxury of having an opinion.

Speaking for all of those who were still trying: We're sorry. We're still here. We still care. But we're fighting a losing battle.

Speaking for myself... I'm fucking tired man. I'm not the only one. People I've spoken to all are effectively the same: resigned to what comes next. There isn't enough unity in this mess to right the ship. That unity will come with desperation... and we're not there yet. 4-6 years. Maybe then. It's got to get a lot worse before we unify over the collective mess we're all stuck in.

Who did you think we were? This is who we've always been. They're just getting comfortable taking the mask off again. Trust me, my grandmother and other family were put through the racist indian boarding schools. Common throughout the US and Canada. You know, the ones they keep finding mass graves on. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Just more subtle, less in your face.

Most people thought are too distracted with bread and circuses to care however.

I think some of this is being amplified by America’s enemies to drive division.

And while you'd be right to do so- make no mistake that there are posts on every social media platform with the same exact goal in mind. This one is no different.

We are entering into an era informational noise. The signal is still there but it is fucking faint in the storm of misinformation and ai/seo bullshit it is being transmitted into.
