I watch the video on Stockholm Syndrome you linked at the top....

How is this right-wing conservative definition of “feminism” different from the “feminism” of evangelical women in Margaret Atwood’s Gilead (Handmaid’s Tale)? Why are we (actual feminists, if “feminism” means “social justice”) putting up with this appropriation of the term? Building an inclusive movement is one thing.

These people are insane. Literally insane. That’s the only possible explanation.

“decides that the younger secretary at work submits a little better.”

Behold the future Aunts and Marthas in our upcoming Trumpublic of Gilead.

To be a woman attending CPAC, she said, meant “as a female, having a voice in the conservative movement.”

That’s okay, they’re entitled to their effed-up points of view. They’re going to have a hell of a time recruiting new members though. Everyone’s been telling the Republicans for so long that they need to rebrand. They’ve been on the wrong side of history on so many things (gay marriage, marijuana, healthcare, climate

Be troublemakers until you upend the whole fucking thing.

CPAC woman no. 1: “CPAC women think for themselves”

Who is the CPAC woman?....

Ugh. These women are enforcers of the patriarchy. They’ve found a measure of personal comfort in cozying up to a ruling elite. That woman who said the women’s movement will backfire and that women will be seen as troublemakers killed me. She is not wrong. Women who fight against male dominated power structures are

These poor women still haven’t deciphered what MAGA means. Hint: It doesn’t include giving women a voice.

I was gonna click on the link to watch, but then I realized a don’t give a fuck what these people think.

I don’t have enough gifs in my ‘bitch please’ folder to fully express my thoughts on those women in that video.

Who is the CPAC woman?

Submit to husbands like in biblical times?!? What’s up with that shit
