it’s also why Feminism (yep, big F now, ladies, time to get real) is so deeply vilified and such a dangerous proposition in that culture- it’s a direct threat to the gross benefits they’re accustomed to.

Because what it does is it basically grooms (there’s that word again) that women are nothing but instruments of the rib of Holy God Man Adam, and of no real human value whatsoever.

Ugh. I read a book on Christian extremists which posited that, much as the Catholic Church’s celibacy policy created an umbrella of secrecy that also camouflaged pedophilia, the evangelical right’s entire condemnation of anything dealing with sex as dirty and not to be talked about has created a culture that similarly…

Lol, what the fuck do you think is the truth you dipshit? You talk about how republicans are always unified? Republicans LOST the last election. Also, I voted for Clinton, I don’t need lectures about the perfect candidate.

republicans lost the last election, i voted for hillary clinton, stop fucking lecturing me

I voted for and donated to Clinton in 2016. Even if I hadn’t voted for Clinton, going back and changing my vote to Clinton wouldn’t change a thing. She still would have lost, because as much as I have tried to get the constitution changed, my vote still does not count for 80,000 votes across PA, WI, and MI.  So what…

He is anti-abortion. That is not a talking point. He supported policies, as governor and as Senator, including the fucking Hyde Amendment, that would make abortion more difficult, especially for the most vulnerable (younger women, poorer women).

Biden ran for president in 2008. 2016 is 8 years before 2016, not 30.  Clinton was also in the Obama administration, for all the good that did her.  Anyways, Trump fucked up the pandemic, governed like a moron for four years, and yet Biden was closer to losing to Trump than Clinton was to beating him, Trump…

No individual voter has anything to do with why any of this is happening. Take any single eligible voter in this country, give their vote to Clinton in 2016, and guess what? She still fucking loses, and we’re still fucking here talking about the same. I don’t actually think selecting anti-abortion Tim Kaine cost…

So are his. That’s why he kept losing presidential primaries before they even really got started. That’s why he came awfully close to losing to Trump even as Trump was failing to deal with a deadly pandemic and the economic fallout. I think I’m not the one whose confused here. 

Tim Kaine’s record is one of trying to make it harder for women to access safe and affordable abortions. The world Tim Kaine wants is a world where abortions are difficult to obtain, because abortions are a grievous sin against his god. That is why the bulk of his record on abortion is him trying to make it more…

Your question is trying to be too cute by half. What is tangential to Tim Kaine’s position on abortion? The lower court judges, bound by Supreme Court precedent in any event, he voted for during the three years he was a Senator before he was Clinton’s running mate actually seems pretty tangential. This isn’t an…

Or, hell, they’re more worried about the buildings that got burned than the people whose deaths prompted the protests in the first place.

They do think property crimes are awful, though.  You notice they keep bringing up all those burned buildings from the “BLM riots” when the January 6 hearings are discussed, because that’s SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than an actual attempt to overthrow the government.

Here’s the other part of that: “only 52 girls under the age of 14 got abortion — so screw them, they don’t matter.”

ONLY 52 girls under the age of 14 got an abortion? ONLY? I’d have a rage stroke if I hadn’t blown out all the veins in my head already. I get the Post at home, and I don’t bother with McArdle. She’s always either wrong or stupid, and on some days she’s both. Waste of my time.

It’s so rare, it only happens once a week in Ohio.

rape is not a violent crime to republicans. its a property crime.  single women cant be raped, they hadnt been claimed yet.  in their eyes, the only victim is the husband whose property was damaged.  everything else they do flows from that concept

I read through her recent history and I don’t know the exact tweet you found so offensive, but I’ll leave this one here because that’s the one I found inexcusable.

Please don’t forget Megan McArdle’s horrifically bad take yesterday on Twitter.
