it must be exhausting to have to live in a place of bad faith arguments and 'i'm being oppressed' every time someone disagrees with you - the constant outrage and performative bullshit is off the charts with these people
I am a woman, I don't believe in any gods or other superstitions, and I seem to have been born with no motherly instinct. I think young children are gooey, loud, and not fit for a civilized conversation. I think kittens are adorable and I am definitely a cat lady. Given that there are about 4 billion women in the world, I think it is perfectly natural for there to be major differences between us. That's a good thing.
BTW, I believe ICEtapo is the correct term. Also, for people who claim to be Christians but exist to hurt others, I like HYPOchristian.
Robyn, thank you. I don't believe these RW mouthpieces want to persuade us. They want to persuade themselves and their listeners/customers/rubes that they are the good guys. However, the more liberal women reject them, the more interested they are in pursuing those women. Weird. Surely there are plenty of RW females whose kink is being submissives?
– One big difference between a murderous undocumented immigrant and a murderous ICE agent is that our taxes are not being used to pay that undocumented immigrant for killing people. (That seems like a pretty Wasteful, Fraudulent, & Abusive use of the taxes we pay. 🤔)
- The graphic produced by the Cato Institute claims that only about 25% of the people picked up by ICE were convicted of violent crimes. I looked at the little slices in that part of their pie chart and noticed that one of the violent crimes was for "immigration". How is it possible that being here illegally is a VIOLENT crime? Then I wondered the same thing about property crime, vice crime, traffic crime. How how can you commit any of those violently without being charged separately for the violence? As a matter of fact there is only a tiny sliver there that is labeled "violent". It seems that the meaning of that word somehow mutated between the title of the chart and the chart itself. How can I now know what they mean when they say the word "violence"?
Childless cat dude here. Also have coyotes, as well as mountain lions and bobcats out there. The cat came to me organically, he was born feral and just showed up. I'll give him the best life I know how to give him, and trust his instincts. He was on the menu before I entered into his life, so he's at least got a place to unwind overnight.
If I’d had to transcribe that howling monsoon of Fox Entertainment bullshite, I would have kicked the tv. While the attitude of these waddling sophists toward women is sickening, I’m also pissed at their ageism. All of these middle-aged women coddling illegals—blue-hairs—how very unlike our younger than springtime Dear Leader.
By the way, obituary writers prepare them in advance. Do you think these fulminators have already cobbled up farewells for Trump?
Also, advocating taking away women's rights, including the right to vote, while siding with people who think raping women is a perfectly normal and manly thing today, is not protecting us.
Punishment! There's something to be said for discipline, but if words matter as I believe they do, what these men and enablers want is punishment... the men punish defiance, and the enablers punish daring. Daring to be different brings into question their entire rationale for submitting. The Megyn Kellys are eaten up by envy. Or so I claim.
I think Megyn Kelly's need to feel superior is strong, and I think her mental cheese is sliding off the healthy cracker, IYKWIM. Megyn Kelly: Ugly American.
MAGAts really, really need to believe that leftist women are deeply unhappy with their lives. Because how else can they convince the abused tradwives that they are much happier where they are rather than if they had control over their own destinies?
American fascism needs to be crushed. There are many opinions on how, but I think it's becoming clear to most that a bullet point list is not one of them.
That is excellent advice! I grew up Catholic in an authoritarian household so I was given the exact opposite advice. It took me four decades to say screw that!
You would think that, after all these years (decades, centuries), the rot of racism and sexism would start killing these lying, hatefilled fuckers off. Power must be the drug it's said to be, and it definitely needs regulation.
Their reactions to the protests are really telling. They're so willfully devoid of humanity they genuinely can't comprehend the concept of caring about other people.
I always just assumed that their obsession with immigrants raping white women had less to do with women's dignity and more to do with the indignity of nonwhite men usurping a privilege reserved to white men: the privilege of raping white women. I mean, look at their president. Look at his cabinet. Look at his supreme court picks. Does this look like an administration that's concerned with crimes against women?

Native Americans could be forgiven for wondering why the Hispanic reservation is everything south of the Rio Grande.

Ta, Robyn. Beautiful post. If these losers got the country they want, none of us would be willing to live in it.
Hold on one second. Are you saying "Love thy neighbor" means loving my actual in real life neighbor?
A couple of observations:
– One big difference between a murderous undocumented immigrant and a murderous ICE agent is that our taxes are not being used to pay that undocumented immigrant for killing people. (That seems like a pretty Wasteful, Fraudulent, & Abusive use of the taxes we pay. 🤔)
- The graphic produced by the Cato Institute claims that only about 25% of the people picked up by ICE were convicted of violent crimes.

My understanding is that undocumented immigration, baring complications, isn't a crime at all but a civil offense.
I am childless very much by choice, and would definitely be a cat lady if there weren't so many coyotes in the neighborhood.
Me: Be careful! I've seen coyotes in your backyard at sunrise.
Neighbor: Sunrise? I've seen them in my backyard at 2:30 in the afternoon.

The whole “we’re protecting women” story collapses the second women show up saying “no thanks.” Then it’s not protection anymore. It’s discipline.

Nothing scares me more than white xtian MAGA men, especially clergy, teaching their kids or congregations that my kid’s body is their choice.
HYPOchristians.
I was told as a child to “never trust anyone who thinks they know better than you, how you should be living your life” by my father.
I took this advice to heart and it has certainly complicated my relationships with organized religion and men 😂
That is excellent advice! I grew up Catholic in an authoritarian household so I was given the exact opposite advice. It took me four decades to say screw that!

True. They are also lying propagandists with a ready script.
I always just assumed that their obsession with immigrants raping white women had less to do with women's dignity and more to do with the indignity of nonwhite men usurping a privilege reserved to white men: the privilege of raping white women. I mean, look at their president. Look at his cabinet. Look at his supreme court picks. Does this look like an administration that's concerned with crimes against women?
Exactly. Those are THEIR crimes!
Once you realize that they consider white women to be their property, it all makes sense. They see nonwhites raping white women as stealing from them.
Only in the sense that they want to make it easier to commit those crimes without consequences.
