@flexghost this needs to stop. But why are they adhering? Fight back!

@lonie6038 the one thing about American exceptionalism that is true is how complacent we are

Jetgirl Jan 30, 2023

@flexghost yes, I agree. I’ve protested and stood for women’s rights forever, and hoped our generation made some headway. And, I can’t believe we are letting Trump and his band of creeps and crooks keep pushing their theories. Frustrated as hell. I’m tired.

@flexghost @lonie6038 A true democracy can withstand everything but complacency 😔

@flexghost The right used to scream about Sharia Law... what the fuck do they think they're imposing here?

@jorsh now the chuds on 4chan revere Sharia law

Rick Thoman Jan 30, 2023

@jorsh @flexghost Authoritarians everywhere and at all times: the problem is not oppression or telling people what to think/do/act. It's only a question who is doing the oppressing.

@flexghost I wonder what the odds are that the bottom third of that is posted in the men's room.

@stephenczetty close to 100%

@flexghost I read a post saying “whatever they accuse others of doing is a confession”. I thought that was perfect.

@flexghost I went to an extremely nerdy, goody-two-shoes, all-girls Catholic high school infamous for its strict dress code.

We were not allowed to have our skirts more than *two* inches above the top of the knee.

One day a month we could wear regular clothes instead of our uniforms. I don't remember any rule against sleeveless dresses or blouses.

As for reading? Well, we were encouraged to read a lot.

@Karen5Lund was growing up in Footloose hard? 😂 sorry

Karen E. Lund 💙💛Jan 30, 2023

@flexghost It was all girls, so nobody groped my breast, made explicit comments about my body, or propositioned me for sex... So, all in all, a lot easier than fifth grade.

@Karen5Lund was growing up in Footloose hard? 😂 sorry

Honestly, the only sane response to GOP attempts to insult and control women's bodies is for naked women to appear at the legislature with flaming swords of justice.

@flexghost Nazi subjugation is alive and well in Florida. Sigh.

@flexghost or rails about 'big gubment!'

Trina Jan 30, 2023

@flexghost they’re so scared of women’s arms, legs and boobs, that they literally stick pictures of them all over the building. Maybe if they didn’t take the books away, they’d be able to read the rules 🤦🏻‍♀️ It would be funny if it wasn’t so terrifying

@albakat maybe if we took republican men to a weekend on Fire Island they could embrace who they really are and chill out

Trina Jan 30, 2023

@flexghost I’m sure these men constantly embrace who they really are, in their private members clubs, with women who have to adhere to just as strict (but opposite) dress code. It’s only a matter of time before people with these types of views are exposed as hypocrites

Mycotropic Jan 30, 2023

@flexghost we should post copies in the state houses of every state to remind local legislators what these people really want. #handmaidstale #AtwoodWasRight

CellyBlue Jan 30, 2023

@flexghost im currently in menopause when the flash of heat hits me the damn jacket coming off. This is stupid.

@celset2 not only stupid but blatantly fascist

J🍩hn Fünk Jan 30, 2023

@flexghost I love how one of the few male-specific things in the "NEVER work appropriate" section is a novelty suit with a silly printed pattern.

So, that must have happened on the floor of the Florida House at least once.

@probablyjohnfunk because Florida

they want their own political correctness by correcting our behavior. thats right wing business at its core.

@StoffFaser they literally have no platform

Florrie Jan 30, 2023

@flexghost it was someone's job to put that poster together. I don't know if I should laugh or cry about that.

@FlorriePuddlefoot yes.

Universal Girl Jan 30, 2023

@flexghost I guess they don't want women to have any rights at all just to be existing!

@JPMill if that, even

Marcie Milletary Jan 30, 2023

@flexghost Laugh but they wont care. They rage against the rules and laws that they don’t like and are constantly playing the victim and blaming liberals when what they do/want done is much much worse. The rules and laws they are fine with are usually hateful and/or harmful.

Tazor Jan 30, 2023

In Denmark companies are allowed to have dress codes but they can't be gender specific because you aren't allowed to discriminate based on gender.

So when bus drivers were told that they couldn't wear shorts on hot days, they just started wearing kilts because women were allowed to wear skirts. And soon after the rules were changed.

@Tazor I love this

Shield Maiden Jan 31, 2023

@Tazor @flexghost I seem to recall something similar happening at a school in the UK not long back...so the boys started wearing kilts/pleated skirts because of the heat...

Normal Guy Jan 30, 2023

@flexghost Republicans are so hypocritical. There are a bunch of pedophile Republicans running around out there while they are trying to act like this. They just want to control women. How disgusting!

Stephen Collins Jan 30, 2023

@flexghost that's some Gilead shit right there.

@flexghost Going full - on nazi then ?

@mickandmae they passed that marker

Ada Jan 30, 2023

@flexghost Laughing won't change anything. As the famous quote goes...

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

"There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect"

So they believe that people are coming from their freedom, whilst also believing something like this is a good thing. They don't care about the contradiction

Ángela Stella Matutina Jan 30, 2023

@ada @flexghost

You're not wrong. Fascism also works this way. But laughter (disrespect, irony, ridicule, satire, parody, etc.) is just one tool for propaganda and psychological warfare. It's not the cure, but it works.

Ada Jan 30, 2023

@angelastella @flexghost You make a very good point!

@flexghost The fact that their mindless followers vote for this stuff still astounds me.

@Ted_Cville this is the only stuff that matters to them, Ted

Ted_Cville Jan 30, 2023

@flexghost I do believe you are right, but I also know people who live in FL, who are otherwise sensible, intelligent people, who nevertheless support him, and it's just so difficult to wrap my head around that. Is it just a blind spot, a particular character issue, or susceptibility to RW propaganda?
