I am convinced that the right is a pyramid scheme for cruelty. These women let those above them be cruel to women and in turn they were allowed, empowered and praised for being cruel as well. And with most pyramid schemes they don’t actually examine the contract which includes them as an object of cruelty and provides them with no protection as part of the company. The women in this article have just discovered they have the moral equivalent of a garage full of unsalable toxic face cream and a maxed out credit card.

I have always considered myself a feminist. Even when I was a “stay at home” mom. The whole point is having a choice. Raising children properly is a full time job. Doing it myself was more feasible and enjoyable than paying someone. else to do it.

The Red Pill makes you WOKE! You take the red pill, you're not allowed in Florida anymore.

This is exactly why, when we introduce Sharia Law, we will not allow women to speak in public.

You're an old man who's completely alone bc everyone hates you and have a failed business. There's no "we" in your life and you'll introduce nothing except more reasons for ppl to laugh at your crazy, delusional ass. 😂

LOL! You women are all the same.

"She found the humorlessness of the contemporary left more alienating than the conservatism of her youth."

Seriously? Has she never met a conservative? They are NOT known for their sense of humor, at least in my lifetime. There are reasons conservative "comedians" are so rare, and the few that exist only appeal to MAGAts.

And as is Law Number One of the uber-Right, Nazi playbook, the PROJECTION of their wants and needs and fevered scenarios seems to be coming full circle, back where it belongs finally. They projected their ideations of “cancel culture” and “real women-haters” and anti-motherhood onto the liberally minded when in essence it was they themselves who believe in these things. Left wing liberals are not the racist, misogynistic “incels” one immediately thinks of (altho they exist they’re not the stereotype). Examine what the Shapiro class-Right says (because who knows what they’ll actually do) and turn it inside out. In so many cases, almost always in fact, it applies to their values, their made-up bullshit cultural zeitgeist. Their vindicated victimhood. Fear causes that response. It’s made up fear, the tropes of convenience, of course, but it spreads as quickly

today as real existential fear. Remember: a lie circles the world while truth is still putting on its shoes.

There was a reason why there was feminism- even before abortion. What do we think men will do when they can get away with literally anything?

This turn around for some MAGA women is consistent with the general outlook of the extreme right which is that they only care about harm when they feel harmed. These women only “saw the light” when they were treated badly. They remain incapable of empathy.

There was this...ummm, gem???, turd/??? of an article in Huffpost about this lady who became full on obsessed in Bari Weiss(my words) until she just realized she wasn't.

It was a deeply weird read, tbh

this is what happens when you teach that critical thinking is bad, and that being an 'individual' is more important than working towards a common good

Well, call me precious and quaint, but maybe this means more young women will vote for a sane person who at least claims to want better lives for people, including women, and doesn’t openly embrace bigotry because it’s “edgy.” But I lost all hope when America saw J6 unfold and decided, we want more of that. Let’s run this back again. Trump 2.0 might have less to do with weirdos believing Haitians were eating all the ducks, and more to do with straight up ageism. People saw Joe Biden change from late 70’s Joe who offered a return to stability and boring, scandal-free politics, and early 80’s Joe, who was simply getting older, stumbling more, and he became an easy target. For all Jim Comer’s made up scandals, Joe Biden’s term was a thousand times more stable and serious than whatever the hell is going on now.

Oh well. I really don’t care about them and hope they’re miserable and die alone.
