True, all humans are like children. Maybe AI should take over.

Remember the MAGA women wearing the "You Can Grab My Pussy" shirts? Not all Republican women are going to be upset by this.

I had to look that up to see if it was real, and sure enough—but I honestly shouldn’t be surprised. Utterly fucking revolting. On the other hand, the tee website display of a black man wearing it while saluting is pretty hilarious

I'm not sure if the article covers it, still reading, but one of the things they want to do to disenfranchise transfoks is to require the the name on your birth certificate matches you're legal name in order to vote.

As most married women don't change their name on their birth certificate when they take their husbands last name, they would not be able to vote either.

Edit: The article does go into all of this.

Interesting thing about that is that, while it's still common practice, a lot of more left-leaning women did away with taking their husband's name years ago

[–] [email protected] 50 points 20 hours ago (7 children)

Yeah my wife and I just kept our name. Its funny because over the years we sorta wish we would have done the traditional thing as it would make a variety of things easier but now apparently its becoming a brilliant move.

Left leaning women are also far less likely to get married to begin with.

The article actually points all of that out, it will be Republican women who mostly are disenfranchised by this.

Holy. Fucking. Shit. That’s bad. That’s oppressively stupid fucking bad.

Hey Americans: Don’t want to be oppressed or live in a fascist state? Immigrate to Canada! We’re hella friendly and open to people’s of all kinds, except MAGAs and Nazis and or maga-nazis

In British Columbia, there is no legal requirement to change your last name after marriage, and either spouse can legally use either last name at their leisure without any bureaucratic change. It is a genderless law.

Fuckin A, now I am really appreciating that.

Ok so

As a single WASP (ok well, I grew up protestant) male in my 30s, who has the confidence of an abandoned kitten, how exactly does this benefit me?

Like I feel like this is supposed to be about men like me getting more power over women. But I fail to see how that helps me at all.

All I can see is that they start here, remove voting rights next, then they remove the ability for women to be licensed to be doctors, or lawyers, dentists, etc. That's gonna fuck my life up immensely.

Just so women can't have a say? Why?

Conservative views on women are absolutely confusing. I know we have to abandon logic with them, but maybe that's the part I don't understand: how the fuck do I think without logic?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

Do remember that it's only some men that will get that power, not all men. WASP is just the start of the verification process for you. The lie that men like you will get this power is what gets regular joes to buy in without realizing they'll never see those promises materialize.

I've worked enough retail to know that there are plenty of people out there who will gladly jump at the opportunity to be a petty tyrant themselves.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 17 hours ago

That's the thing: it isn't. The patriarchy is bad for 95% of men, as well, but a huge chunk of those believe it's good for them because at least they're not a woman.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Conservatives believe hierarchies are natural and unavoidable. If you can push someone else down on the hierarchy then that will put you higher up on the hierarchy then you were before. Shrinking someone else's piece of the pie leaves more pie available for you.

Leftists believe in making a bigger pie.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 13 hours ago

Also sharing the pie equitably

[–] [email protected] 15 points 16 hours ago

It's not about what's good for you, it's about what's good for the people in power. And as women increasingly turn away from the Republican party, they're going to want to disenfranchise them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago

I actually think it's more targeted toward the Andrew Tate and Fresh and Fit follower types, and the propaganda does appear to be working on younger men, who are rapidly becoming more "conservative." They're extremely insecure in their masculinity, and think the subservience of women would be affirming.

Of course, it actually just hurts everyone, barring the people that benefit from keeping the working class divided.

Tis is gonna be one of the most delicious schadenfraude of all. They think they are safe, but soon enough they are going to discover how important is being a white straight able-bodied male for these fascists. And how unimportant they are outside of a bedroom or a kitchen.

You're overestimating Republican women...

Ever hear one of those stories about a Military wife who believes Rank is sexual transmitted so she has all the authority of her husband?

That's how they think.

It's not that all women are lower than all men, it's that the wife has the defacto "rank" as the their husband.

Disclaimer:

Obviously I'm not saying I agree with it, but that's how they think and why they're ok with this.

You have to think like them, they're "property" so treating a man's wife badly is like going up and pissing on his giant truck, the man will "handle" the offense. And the only way for a woman to gain social ranking is marrying a "powerful" man.

A frightening amount of woman think that's a good system.
