Absolutely, that’s what happens when you’re a second class citizen, we’re just one level higher from those people of color…like the found young republicans mantra your body my choice. Fk them
Sorry but this stems from all Abrahamic religions that really put women down. Look to the church for stigma and ostracism and put it into the hands of petty minded men in power who have always feared the wisdom of the female. (Ps not all men but there's quite a few)
You may not have noticed, but there female pastors out there, and those of which I am familiar don't tend to bend to patriarchy. We need many more, as well as men who are not big on patriarchy.
I don't go big on religion and if not from the Church where else do these misogynistic views stem? It vilifies women and we have been blamed for unwanted pregnancies, wanting to use birth control and have free will. So when the State and Church combine, we suffer.
I don't disagree, but when Reagan linked the GOP with Jerry Falwell & his Evangelicals, I don't think that All of the misogyny came from Falwell. Much of it came from political conservatives who wanted to retain patriarchy, and keep "women's issues," & perspectives from gaining cultural traction
And where do those conservatives get their values? If we're generous we can say many of these 'ethical positions' stem from ancient tribal cultures, but religions are a record of the sanctification of such cultures. Preventing any change or progress because it is considered the immutable word.
Religions can do that. But political conservatism is independent of that in seeking to preserve the advantages/privileges of the status quo, or re-establishing them, with the motive being personal advantage, not religious belief.
Many White men do not want to have to compete with women or others.
I generally blame men and religious men especially across the board. But their power comes from elections and without maga women voters Harris would be the WH.
If women voted for their interests they would vote progressive and a lot of the current problems would go away. Roe could’ve been codified.
It’s true that they should have seen this outcome and made it law sometime after 08.
Now old dems are literally dying off, so a new and younger group is the best and only hope for American women.
As a Canadian I don’t have much hope for USA. It’s at an all time low.
The world was/is BUILT on keeping women as a lower status than men. Look at religion as the best example because it trickles down from there into all the other bullshit that women are subjected to. If women were really smart they'd get a network of women to take over politics and turn the tables!
Yes, now you understand. And, for women born after the mid 60's, you never experienced the restrictions your mothers and grandmothers experienced so you do not know what it was like. We fought for and got legal abortions, and rights to create a contract without a man's signature, etc.
I NEVER wanted children, got my tubes tied 40 years ago at the age of 25. Best decision I ever made. Earned 6 college degrees, was a professor for 27 years, and free from the burden of raising kids.

And, if you have a fucking problem with MY LEGAL CHOICES--you can fuck yourself sideways with a rusty machete.
