Because I believe giving money to an anti-choice organization is a funny way to be a feminist? Okay then! Maybe I am! If you are a catholic feminist, and you give money to the catholic church, then yes. I kind of consider you to be a shitty feminist. It’s basically like calling yourself a LGBT ally, and then donating…

It seems like you are purposely trying to miss my point because I disagree with you.

My point is that when a Catholic tithes to the Catholic church then, even though they are pro-choice, that money is going towards anti-choice programs.

Right. I don’t care what individual women do. If a woman wants to be a strict Catholic then good for her. What bothers me is the church pushes parishioners (at least from what I’ve seen) pretty hard to pay tithes. So, even if Catholic feminists don’t support the churches stance on reproductive rights if they are…

I’m aware. But are those Catholics who disagree still paying the church a tithe? I married a catholic. I know how pushy the church is about getting money from parishioners.

Good deeds do not outweigh bad. This is why the catholic church doesn’t get called out for the bad things it does. Whenever someone brings up a big negative about it instead of accepting that the church does some pretty sketchy stuff catholics rush in to deny it or point out that they do good so the bad things don’t…

But if they are catholic then they support the catholic church, correct? The catholic church has a political agenda to restrict reproductive rights for ALL women. Not just catholic women. So it’s not about personal choices at all. It’s about supporting an organization that wants to impose it’s will on other women.

It’s not premarital sex if I have no goddamn intention of getting married.

It becomes a problem when they support a massive organization that wants to limit all women’s reproductive rights, and engages in politics to do so.

Um, what? It’s not non-catholic feminists business when a massive organization tries to restrict women’s reproductive rights around the world?

True. However, the Catholic Church wants to take reproductive rights away from all women. So, it’s kind of hard to be a feminist and a Catholic when the whole organization is so horribly anti-woman.

What’s fucked up is they literally sainted a woman for dying from cancer because she chose to carry her pregnancy to term instead of getting medical care. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gianna_Be…

You don’t represent all young voters.

I honestly have no idea what OP’s full position on the subject is. However, I really don’t think OP meant to have a detailed conversation. I can also understand Persnickety’s frustration despite not knowing them beyond seeing their name show up in comments on occasion. Rape is a sensitive subject, and a lot of people…

No one gives a shit about you or your vote. In fact, can’t you just vote for Stein or Johnson without talking about it? Really. We don’t care.

Are you aware how incredibly condescending you are or are you too old for it to register?

OP isn’t saying that they are uncomfortable with armed protests. You’re inserting words into her post and Persnickety’s in order to scold Persnickety.

Steak triggered PTSD!

Feel free to dismiss the rape apologist if you’d like!

No, seriously. Who the fuck are you that you get to decide what is the proper way to deal with hecklers?
