There are loads of research that prove spanking is bad. All those that you are citing may have even been better had not been spanked. ALL the successful adults I know were not spanked and the many many kids I know that are violent and disrespectful to adults and have killed many people in gang violence were ALL…

This is wrong for a lot of reasons, but one of them is that, even if a woman can “control the intake of semen”, she still should have the right to terminate a pregnancy. It’s her body, her choice. In fact, even if a person intended t become pregnant, they still should have the right to terminate that pregnancy later…

This is also likely a result of what passes for “sex education” on the right these days. Some of things kids in Christian schools and conservative circles are being taught are truly bonkers – stuff that has zero basis in fact but is being taught because it validates their extreme views about human sexuality.

There are actually loads and loads of studies showing the harm of spanking. Sorry not confirmation bias here is some of the hundreds https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0272735812001675

The spanking thing needs to just die. SO SO many people think it is ok because they were spanked. Garbage. The people I know that were spanked tend to be a$$holes. Spanking takes all the tools out of the toolbox to help kids behave for teachers and police that is not physical violence. If beating your kids is the only…

Wait, what’s so bad about that? I recognize you will run into problems like getting arrested if you try to do that with your kids now, but that’s probably more a question of modern society being paranoid than an accurate assessment of the danger. The world is far safer in most places now than it was back in the day.

Not gonna lie, I want and could use one of those baby window cages. Kid loves being outdoors, but our tiny apartment doesn’t give her that option. Let’s bring this one back!

Well my Mom said when she was pregnant with me (long ago in 1965) she was advised to smoke to keep her weight down.
Apparently the thought was a baby weighs 8-10 pounds, so a woman shouldn’t gain much more than that during her pregnancy.

Many years ago, Reuters did an investigative report on the black market for adopted children.

I find this one of the most reprehensible ideas promoted by the forced birthers. They claim to value life but have no problem turning women into incubators so they can birth children to give away. Women are truly just vessels to these people.

Short answer : Racism and ableism

They want infants, not poor abused children who may not be perfectly pliable to raise.

why wait? How come these willing adopters have not already reached out to adoption agencies? There are thousands of children currently needing to be adopted, why not start there?

Okay, but what about the other 15 women? ERW isn’t Manson’s only victim.  She’s just the only famous one.

So because they’re not perfect victims they don’t deserve your support?

You can support victims of abuse and still hold them responsible for victimizing others.

What a strange comment. Supporting one particular position a person takes doesn’t require you to endorse everything else they have done in their lives. It’s not all or nothing.

“You claim that any man interested in being dominant in an S&M relationship is a violently abusive misogynist.”
- I absolutely believe this, and would never trust those men. They get sexual gratification from harming women, and whether those women consent is irrelevant because it is about the *intentions of the men*.…

Manson’s complaint reiterates his denial of any wrongdoing and accuses Wood of having “handpicked co-conspirators” to bolster her abuse claims.

You’re berating me, attempting to silence my warnings to women about to whom they give control of their bodies. Unless I’m edging in on your future victims, you shouldn’t have an issue with telling women that they have more agency is these situations. 

I watched both parts last night- it was very hard to get through, and I am so angry that Manson *WAS* very open about who he was/is and everyone ate it up. The 14 year old girl on Phil Donahue proclaiming her devotion...Lord help me that I found myself siding with the parents from the 90's: The man is Evil and he…
