Remember the MAGA women wearing the "You Can Grab My Pussy" shirts? Not all Republican women are going to be upset by this.

I had to look that up to see if it was real, and sure enough—but I honestly shouldn’t be surprised. Utterly fucking revolting. On the other hand, the tee website display of a black man wearing it while saluting is pretty hilarious

[–] Zink@programming.dev 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Shorten it to just ARK and it will be even more on the nose with a biblical reference!

What if wanting to believe that there is some nice place that good people go when they die, leads people to support the mass murder and immiseration of countless women, children, queer people and BIPOC?

Religion is, and probably always has been a means of control. That's not to say that it is that at every level, or that it's only that. Religion is designed to bring you comfort and assistance in your times of need, while charging you a fee for the service. The business has to run, the staff and bills have to be paid, the top officers need to be fabulously wealthy. Not all religions are against Women, Children, BIPOC, and LGBTQ, but if you're trying to exert control, they make easy scapegoats. White men make all the money, Let us hold down all these minorities so you can smother them to make yourself feel better, now pay us.

One of my friends attends and assists with a great little church. It's a small, modest community church. The pastor is gay, and drag queens come to read stories occasionally. The place is just kept up with. They're not squeezing 30% out of the community. I'm not one for church, but I approve of what they're doing wholly.

Religion takes the best parts of human nature, and convinces people that these things come from some big other, who is always watching and judging us. It turns us inside out, and the world upside down. I don't get mad at god or judge people for being religious but anything that convinces good people that they are fundamentally evil is itself the opposite of goodness.

It is absolutely a method of control, its no coincidence that the emergence of basically all the major religions coincides with the rise of class domination.

"With or without religion, good people would do good and bad people would do evil. But to make good people do evil takes religion."

Tis is gonna be one of the most delicious schadenfraude of all. They think they are safe, but soon enough they are going to discover how important is being a white straight able-bodied male for these fascists. And how unimportant they are outside of a bedroom or a kitchen.

You're overestimating Republican women...

Ever hear one of those stories about a Military wife who believes Rank is sexual transmitted so she has all the authority of her husband?

That's how they think.

It's not that all women are lower than all men, it's that the wife has the defacto "rank" as the their husband.

Disclaimer:

Obviously I'm not saying I agree with it, but that's how they think and why they're ok with this.

You have to think like them, they're "property" so treating a man's wife badly is like going up and pissing on his giant truck, the man will "handle" the offense. And the only way for a woman to gain social ranking is marrying a "powerful" man.

A frightening amount of woman think that's a good system.

I will not enjoy seeing all American women being marginalised. I will, however, enjoy seeing Americans finally exercising their right to protest a fascist government.

Face eating leopards are going to be morbidly obese by the end of this administration.

I've fought tooth and nail against accepting this, but looking at their plans it's becoming unavoidable: This will not end without violence.
