Honestly, avoiding sex seems like a good strategy. Even as a man, I'd fucking hate impregnating someone just to have them die in my arms in a fucking parking lot. Fuck MAGA! You people are the death of America!
Some other post had a comment (to paraphrase) for women the best choice to at least somewhat stay safer is: don't have sex with men, don't date men, don't have babies with men, don't get married. It was called the B4 movement.
As a man who sees how bad it is going to be for women in the USA for 4 years or longer, I can't disagree with the person. Though sexual assaults will go up as shitty rapists think they can't get away with what their president got away with.
And they probably can get away with it, because if they claim radical lefties are lying, he'll pardon them
Expect a lot of criminals to get pardoned
I expect a lot of criminals won't even be charged with the crimes they openly commit. They are the part of the in group to which laws will not apply.
Fits in nicely with the recent article about conservative men having trouble dating. Maybe don't antagonize women?
Sounds like somebody hasn't heard of flirting technique "neggingmaxxing". /s
I completely just made that up
Fuck my own mom said Kamala slept her way to the top today. We're done for awhile.
I don't even know yet how to parse the sheer lack of moral focus from the woman that raised me. Like it really fucks me up.
Same here. My Mom refused to vote for Trump but was unhappy about her vote for Harris because
I don’t know where to even begin, but fact checking one of her claims said that it was one persons Facebook post who never responded when asked for sources or evidence
Her father is black Jamaican. What did your mom mean by 'not black'? Was your mom being a racist because Kamala's mother is Indian?
"You can't be two minorities! That's not fair!" - Wine moms, probably
If you're mixed race, it's not unheard-of to be outcast from both groups... As fucked up as that is...
I've seen that sentiment and that she slept her way to the top. It's all just projection, racism and misogyny. Every trump vote was a vote for hate.
Woah, so let's just assume what she said is true. So in your mom's world the only way for a women to get to that level is to sleep her way to the top. That is pretty fucked up.
What is even more fucked up is living in that world she blames the women for it!? I can't even.
Even a precursory look at her record would show that is not even remotely true, but I digress. After all, we have a first lady (of the night) right now that actually did sleep her way to the top.
So I guess she has some reason to believe it happens. I just don't understand the hate. It is okay for this women to do it but not her, even if that is not what she did.
Perhaps the root of it is your mother is just racist. I think this really hits home for me as well. Growing up I believed my mother loved everyone being a self-proclaimed Jesus freak. Now that she is older she suddenly hates gays and loves Trump. It is hard to reconcile.
My dad went on a rant how Puerto Ricans are all lazy and just grift off the system to live off benefits. His only grandkids are born to a Puerto Rican, who passed the bar becoming a lawyer. (Prior to having kids with my only sibling)
Throw in that "no black people can raise kids", and it was enough for me to cut contact.
Won't let Puerto Rico become a state to advocate for their economic rights. Complains they don't do enough for themselves. We did the exact same thing to the Native Americans. It reeks of a slow burn genocide to be honest.
Yes she also uses the "she turned black" line as is if that shields Trump from his overt racism from that debacle. As if just accepting everything he says is fine means it's fine...
In real life she never acted like that. The more I think about it the more weirded out I get. I guess I didn't see it through my own numbness being it's just more common here.
you should tell your mom that shes a whore lmao.
Give her ass a reality check
These people are so filled with fucking hate.
Like, seriously, no small wonder nobody actually wants to fuck you.
Yet conservative women always are so confused why their partners are such shitheads who don't treat them respectfully.
For a lot of trump supporters, this is why they voted for him. He gave them a licence to be racist and sexist and bigoted, etc.
Al the things trump is, they are. And him being in office legitemises them. It makes them feel "heard" instead of "opressesed."
Granted (of course) hate speech and any form of misogyny or predjudice (all of the above) should be illegal. It should be "oppressed." But from their perspective, they aren't allowed to be what they are, and trump makes them feel like they can.
Its a devastating realisation that i came to whilst watching those trump rally videos where the comedians go and interview the attendees with the aim being ro let them mock themselves by being caught out in a web of contradiction.
When the interviewers say biden did x y z terrible things and the trump simps say "yeah because biden is terrible and an awful person and should be in jail" but then they pull the rug and say, "sorry, i read the wrong but, that was trump who did those things"
When faced with the fact that trump is the one who did all the awful things they suddely switch over like they are bipolar and say, oh well trump is perfect so i dont care that he did those things. Or trump had a reason that made it ok. Or oh, i did t know he did that, but im still gonna vote for him.
America elected an Incel-in-Chief, so that's not really surprising.
The alternative was apparently not inspiring enough to vote for (/s). You know, someone who isn't that.
(I voted gladly for Harris)
Yes, because Americans are idiots who think that they have to vote for someone they like rather than STOP A FASCIST DICTATOR.
Jesus Christ.
Enjoy never having your vote count again.
People at my spouse’s workplace were high-fiving each other on Wednesday. This country is just a goddamn middle school.
I've wanted to cry since Wednesday morning but it's just not coming out. I'm just too numb. If I was around people like that though, I might have been able to find somewhere to go cry.
anybody ever notice how republicans talk about all the hope and positivity at trump rallies?
Curious right?
The answer is simple, it's the only place they feel those two emotions, they literally do not experience it anywhere else, it's a cult.
I've seen it already too. Was playing overwatch and the enemy tank was talking shit to our tank and he responded with "I'm glad trump won so someone will rape mercy." Was quite jarring tbh
And I hope you reported it
Yeah whole team did
One of my friends had some rough experiences in some communities after it. I'd have to dig up the screenshots but it was atrocious. She's not even American but she flat out said it made her want to take a break from online for a while.
I've never seen anything like it considering the game we play together tends to have a more progressive and welcoming community that lashes out against open misconduct like that.
Y'all can thank 53% of white women for that btw.
As a 50 year old white woman, I am just afraid that a man will beat me in high school track. That's the real misogyny.
The only political ad I experienced this year was one saying the Democratic Senate candidate would let boys play in girl's sports. It was horribly transphobic, even ending in a joke about genitalia, but I can't help but think it had an effect on the outcome amongst all the women who aren't smart enough to pair their phone to their car and think NPR uses big words.
why do people spend so much time being awful
I didn't think there was a most pathetic way to out yourself as a rapist
Said a different way:
"In Trump's America, rapists get to choose their baby's mama"
If that's horrific to you too, sorry. See you at the support meeting later where we will be taking money to help people and companies relo to CO or NY where rights are temporarily enshrined regionally where even reinstating "Chevron" should preserve the for a while.
If people who've terminated a pregnancy in NYC go to FL, or even get on a long domestic flight, are they at risk of arrest when they enter or pass through the confederate states?
Speaking as a Canadian where women have full bodily autonomy perhaps American women would like to vacation in Canada?
Getting an abortion up to 13 weeks is totally possible using the following method.
https://primal.net/e/note1f8yfps35lnzcmu9f8thhvpkprlag70gemhn6krv9l0e5w55tjv7sr06lr3
how does anybody know if this isnt gonna kill somebody? or leave the mother / child disabled?
Because it uses already approved drugs for abortion. So it's not like you're taking some experimental medicine.
I am so surprised. Who could have possibly foreseen that the party of grab em by the pussy, whether women like it or not, and project 2025 would be hostile and antagonistic towards women.
Absolutely shocked and flabbergasted.
If the pastor farts, his congregation shits.
I play counter strike with my partner. She usually gets plenty of hate, but the days after the election have been way worse.
Dumb fucks being themselves: I just don't know why women don't like me.
