That's because girls are property, just like the Bible says.

That's why it always confuses me when so many women want to get married for married sake.
This time period is a brief aberration, the institution of marriage, dating back thousands of years before Jesus, has always historically been a property transaction, with the wife being the property exchanged for property/familial status. There are still parts of the world where that is the case.
At least 4,000 years isn't wiped away in a hundred. Personally, I think a romantic, consenting partnership should have entirely new terminology attached to it. Rehabbing the institution of marriage is like trying to rehab the term enslavement.
Hell marriage is already regressing back to its natural/historical state here in the US, with several states trying to abolish no fault divorce to remove any agency women have won with regards to romantic partnership.
Oh no you see adoption. We have the best adoption centers and pro lifers line up to adopt. Adopters get training and support, adoptees get excellent pre-K and excellent public schools. Everyone gets excellent universal healthcare. See?
The sad thing is that stable, loving families will line up to adopt a healthy newborn. But then you have some of the same fuckers shaming the mother because that’s somehow dodging your responsibilities or taking the easy way out.
Don't forget conservatives blocking out thousands of married gay and lesbian couples from adopting despite them ACTIVELY wanting to adopt.
I guess I did forget that part. Thanks, I hate it.
You forgot to end with "/s".
Unfortunately this one is obvious enough.
I'd be happy if I never see another /s again. Of course it's sarcasm.
Poe's Law, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parody or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.
It can be really helpful for some neurodivergent folks.
It can be helpful for anyone when reading text that doesn't indicate tone very well.
Not everyone is a professional writer that can properly express sarcasm through text
The only thing Conservatives what to conserve are their own privileges.
the questions that follow are why do they want to control women? and how much control do they want over women?
💀
why?
Some people are wired wrong and just absolute sociopaths.
Some people are convinced that others are inferior and would benefit from being controlled by their superiors.
Some people are filled with fear, and think control will assuage this fear.
How can a man feel like a king without total control of his domain?
Why do billionaires exist? Because it's never enough for many. You would think a sane person who gets to 100 million dollars would get bored and do something other than hoard money, but it's never enough.
Same with control. Some aren't happy with anything in their life being beyond their control, including the people in their lives.
Because power brings them some measure of enjoyment, and they take perverse pleasure in cruelty in particular. All of it.
They were abused as children, and they see abuse as normal and right.
For some, certainly.
That’s how it worked in The Good Old Days, and everything was fine! (For men, but with money, but also white, and definitely Christian)
Control we never should have given conservatives if only 6 years ago a few more people decided to go vote in that crucial presidential election.
That pivotal election set the ground work for a whole host of terrible SC decisions recently, including Biden's tuition loan forgiveness program getting struck down.
I'd like to think that Americans have learned from that recent history, but who am I kidding? They will bitch and moan about this terrible decision NOW, but won't think about what will happen in the future if they decide to sit out more elections.
Actions - and inaction - have consequences.
