miss_demeanour“If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this was a crime”
[O]n one occasion during 1989, Mr. Trump and I had marital relations in which he behaved very differently toward me than he had during our marriage. As a woman, I felt violated, as the love and tenderness, which he normally exhibited towards me, was absent. I referred to this as a “rape”, but I do not want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense.[34]
LadyMeowSooooooo depresssssssinggggggg
BigFigI mean yes this is bad, but America is not going to end itself just because women have rights. A lot more to it than that reductive take
🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 Right? It’s not just women. But also because POC have rights. And gays. And because trans people exist.
Yeah. Just one would be something america coukd stand –maybe, for cooler guns and bigger bombs. But all at once?
You forgot Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikh(ism?), and [clutches pearls] Atheists!!
SeductiveTortoiseAnd those people that… how do you call non millionaires? Ah, scum! Filth!!!
We can fix that with a little inflation!
Poor people love this simple trick!
It’s our job to remake America into something unrecognizable, since the status who won’t accept us
“Second best isn’t first best so we should just cancel it all.”
“What about all the other people? Have you checked with them?”
“Fuck those losers I’m talking about me right now.”
The most privileged often complain the loudest, especially if they’re almost number one.
It’s not like all this is going to benefit most straight white males either. Pretty sure that retirement age is going up for everyone. (Among other problems.)
Not the poor ones, no. That’s yet another group they want to be rid of.
This is also part of it.
Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege.

Thomas Clement Douglas PC MP CC SOM MA LL.D (20 October 1904 – 24 February 1986) was a Scottish Canadian politician who served as Premier of Saskatchewan from 1944 to 1961 and Leader of the New Democratic Party from 1961 to 1971… …Douglas was voted “The Greatest Canadian” of all time in a nationally televised contest organized by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in 2004.
Is the title a quote from something?
Direct quote from Trump’s mouth a few days ago. With regard to crime in DC while he’s had the National Guard in.
Come to think of it, Melania was wearing a hat that completely blocked her face from cameras …
Wouldn’t surprise me if that was her choice in an attempt to prevent her face from appearing too often in future history textbooks.
That’s absurd. We’ve backtracked 50 years, not 200.
ChozoOh yes, we should consider the nuance to wife-beating. Right.
…… what?! lol
fucktards literally voted in a senile rapist with a history of financial fraud and bankruptcy because the other option was a female. You were literally segregating people just based on color of their skin 50 years ago so thats a low bar. You have states that literally ban life saving abortions. The church influences your government like the 1800s. Political bribes are legal because founding fathers wanted just the rich to run the country. Invades countries without any repercussions for war crimes.
You’re a third world country in a gucci belt.
Much of the development happened because the enormous wealth in the stolen lands and brain drain from countries you sabotage or by hiring literal nazis. The founding fathers knowingly paved ways for redneck nazis with how they created broad legislation to benefit the rich white male, but propaganda and hollywood creates a progressive smokescreen.
Time for some introspection.
“We only want to make rape and forced breeding legal again, what’s the issue here?”.
The only ragebait I can spot is your comment.
No facts, lots of polemics.
Quite well done for a user that want to be called an AI.

45% of female voters cast their ballot for Trump.
And the majority of white women.
BeesbeesbeesThis quote was so, so upsetting as a survivor.
PugJesusHard-fought victories eroded one at a time, and then all at once.
Fuck.
gandalf_der_12teHard-fought victories
I don’t think women’s rights (especially the right to work) have been “hard-fought” in any way.
Sure there have been protests and riots of women who demanded these rights, but that did jack shit to change the situation. What really changed the situation was the insight of capitalists that they could get more workers, and thus more productive ability, if women joined the workforce. All it took for that is to influence the media to make these new policies seem preferable, and the people accepted it.
That’s an utterly fucking bizarre position considering that women in the workplace far predate women’s rights.
This is, unfortunately, a common libertarian take. The best economic decision says to not discriminate as the more workers you have, the more you produce, thus the free market is what really created these civil rights.
It completely ignores history, but that is a pretty common libertarian take.
To me, it’s unclear what “hard-fought” means here. Are there any rights that aren’t hard-fought? Are hard-fought rights different from the other ones?
Every right we have has been fought for. The fights often came at a significant cost, with sacrifice, and required conviction. I remember how “hard-fought” was used, and what it used to mean, so it really makes me wonder how you’re using it.
Once again, making the entire world about women.
Yeah, pointing out that your grandpa probably repeatedly raped grandma and that she didn’t have a choice in marrying him is “making the entire world about women.”
That’s obviously not what I’m referencing. Suggesting America would rather end itself than let women and that’s why all of this is happening is.
It’s an example. You can’t list every god damn thing in a meme and if you did, you knucklehead would not read it.
My god, use your brain. You go ahead and make a meme about whatever thing bothers you the most. But no, all you do is complain.
That’s a lot of projection.
No not the entire world. They’re only criticizing America.
In fact it’s about the US of America, which is an even smaller minority of the world, because it’s merely a subset of the Americas, and only a part of Noth America.
Ew. What a shit take. Your misogyny is showing.
How is it misogyny?
dohpaz42Honestly, if women; as well as persons of color, the LGBTQIA+ community; having rights and freedoms is such a threat to America - both as a country and a “way of life” - and they cannot coexist, then as an American I would happily say goodbye to America.
~What that means, and how that would work, scares the ever loving shit out of me, but no one deserves the shit America does to them.~
If you’re going to emigrate, you better do it fast. I wouldn’t bet that it’s still possible without significant effort (“hide for 1000 miles in a lead-lined suitcase in a car trunk”-levels of effort) in a year - locking in their population is a really common thing in dictatorships. Plus, if there’s ever a mass emigration wave, many of the more desirable destion countries are definitely going to close the door to you. AFAIK it’s already fairly complicated to emigrate from the US to most european countries.
Depends on how other countries (particularly Canada) would feel about refugees.
Judging by what we’ve seen so far, no one cares for refugees even if they’re well-educated people from the US.
It’s not a threat to America, but to a few elites, christian fundamentalists, and white nationalists. They just convinced others to follow suit.
I feel the same, but also fuck that I was born here and I will not be run off by goddamn nazis. On one hand I’d like to leave, the other hand would like to punch every fascist over and over until THEY fuck off.
Oh, America is not alone here. Plenty of places without even that one generation
Honestly, I have to suspect a giant coordinated effort against women and feminine aspect of life spanning damn hundreds, if not thousands, years. Otherwise I cannot fathom and explanation of how things have gone so ugly for so long
The D Quuuuuilland that’s the patriarchy. if it was the natural order it wouldn’t require so much energy to maintain
are you still alive, Nazi?
Aww— leaky Nazi cunt has a cry cry
Kill yourself
I was born 1995. Yikes! I can’t believe that.
ZeroGravitasQuote aside, Catherine is a great writer and all around human being. If you like fantasy, look her up.
And a generation earlier (1920), women finally got the right to vote.
We had to fight for the rights we have and you must fight to keep them.
Well, for non-black women sure. Wasn’t until 1965 for black women.
Interesting list: en.wikipedia.org/…/Timeline_of_women's_suffrage
I’m a woman and I’m beyond burnt-out working and I’d prefer to stay at home and be provided for. Because women could be so beautiful & pleasant, everything a man craves, if we weren’t rendered bedraggled & exhausted from working so hard in the rat race.And of course I would take care of my gorgeous husband. As long as he’s nice to me and doesn’t abuse me you know.
Well, society survives because of men. If you turn that society into something undersirable, men won’t have any incentives to keep that society working and will just let it crumble and fall like many times before.
Humans don’t learn, no? They must keep the men happy and fulfilled for civilization to advance into the stars and beyond.
