They are throwing everything they can at the wall to see what sticks so they can destroy whats left of the US government and start their long wished for civil war. They want a monarchy, and they have the US militarys backing to get it.

I said this was going to happen weeks ago and people here on lemmy were calling me stupid
Both can be true
The deep conspiracy theory is that this whole case is fabricated to create toxic man vs women discourse because racism isn't distracting enough right now.
This case is basically an exact copy of a case that apparently happened in Ireland 3 years ago that caused a lot or controversy.
if true I'm pleased that racism isnt working well enough for them. And I don't think sexism will work well enough for them either.
There’s some in the comments saying the same. That’s what I heard about Roe v Wade as well and look where we are.
The erosion of women’s rights has been happening and is continuing to happen. Don’t let anyone gaslight you about this.
Not just women's rights but the rights of anyone that isn't a richwhiteman.
YES
This will last only as long as women keep paying taxes. No taxation w/o representation, amirite? Once men and business partners see the light and start putting the capital of their ventures and earnings in to their tax-free partner’s hands.. It’s a lot of hot air..
It wasn't until the 70s that women were protected from discrimination when opening their own bank accounts. It's not like they're particularly opposed to taking away our access to financial institutions.
A mentally ill woman kills her kids, so women shouldn't be able to vote?
What happens when a mentally ill man shoots a bunch of random people?
Most of them are completely opposed to voting. They are trying to exclude only a portion of the current electorate, as it is more difficult to convince a significant part of the population to support the total abolition of elections.
That's what bugs me, the double standards. If a female led superhero movie sucks, Hollywood is afraid to invest in female led superhero movies. If a male led superhero movie sucks, oh well, shit happens.
If a woman does something wrong, it's on all women. If a black person does something wrong, it's on all black people. If an immigrant does something wrong, it's on all immigrants. If a transgender person does a mass shooting or a transgender person's partner shoots someone, it's used against all transgender people. But if a white cis man rapes and murders, it isn't seen as a reflection of their demographic
Well, it really seems that Hollywood wants them to fail.
Don't remember what the term was. Glass cliff? Something like that?
There's a theory that women get put in charge/lead roles when people can tell shit is about to hit the fan.
Glass ceiling.
The glass ceiling is an invisible, unwritten barrier that stops women and minority groups from getting top jobs in management and leadership, no matter how skilled or hardworking they are.
No, not that. It's specifically "oh shit this is gonna happen and fuck up earning next three quarters, let's get a woman CEO before then"
Well would you look at that, I hadn't heard about this one before. It is called the "Glass Cliff" theory! Thanks for mentioning it
This is a well-documented phenomenon in business and politics where women (and minorities) are preferentially promoted to leadership roles during times of crisis, recession, or severe organizational distress.
But if a white cis man rapes and murders, it isn’t seen as a reflection of their demographic
And if you point it out or dare to speak about cis white men in isolation, you're called a misandrist.
Conservatism is about unequality. For them it's just "nature" to collectively punish all people belonging to a given group that are less powerful.
If you're part of a more powerful group, all your grievances with a group are automatically justified. If not, even if they were justified, you have to show the moral high ground by not acting out on them.
"All the women are telling us we're wrong. We should probably take their voices away."
Typical fucking conservative logic. I hate these people
Also they missed the much more obvious conclusion: the lone holdout juror was a man with no evidence, no logic, and all emotion. Shouldn't we take away men's voting rights instead? /s
I'm sure the problem is 100 times worse if you flip the genders
