politics

If you're part of a caste system, you don't have to be at the top to endorse it. We saw this play out in South Africa during apartheid to devastating effect for decades.

Building increasingly narrow traunches of hierarchy guarantees nearly everyone will have someone else they can bully. White women might be subhuman relative to white men, but they're ubermensch compared to pocs, foreigners, and white children.

They do not respect you or your bodily autonomy.

They see you as fulfilling a particular role and revile you for failing to fulfill that role. For all the noise about individual liberties, conservatives are just as collectivist as the rest of us when it comes time to talk about honor and obligation. The only question is what obligations are due and to whom.

Based and actually good advice

From a hotel in another city or a distant but good friend's place. Avoid the black eyes please.

Ah, but republican men are pushing for laws to make it difficult or even illegal to divorce them without permission.

See, now if a billionaire would just finance divorce lawyers for this, then I might have a second thing on my list of things that billionaires are good for.

You get into these things when you’re younger and it’s very hard to get out again later.

I wouldn't say don't fuck republicans, but do not marry one without a prenup because there is like a 90% chance they'll go insane because they saw non-white bandaids on a shelf or something

Damned Scot's! They ruined Scotland!

bro, people like us, we see our wives as actual people. it's just not like that for them.

That sort of introspection seems so easy, at least in conceptual form, doesn't it? I'm not saying it's easy to change your attitudes and behaviors with the goal of becoming a better person but it takes a special kind of asshole to be unable to follow even the logic of your post without outside assistance. So many people live their lives that way and I honestly can't fathom it. Most mentalities I can understand even if I can't relate to them but that kind of narcissistic controlling behavior is so foreign to me that I can't even begin to empathize with someone who thinks that way. I can't put myself in those shoes because my brain won't let me completely disregard other people.

Just to be clear, that doesn't mean I'm perfect by any means. I'm an asshole on a fairly regular basis just like everyone. But god damn, how do you just not care at all about how your actions impact the people in your life?

And become a beta cuck? No, thanks.

Feminism is only controversial to reactionaries.

Everyone else thinks women should be equal members of society.

Wave that feminism flag!

Report that shit.

Surprised he didn't just mail in her ballot

I don't even think it works in ironic quotations. No man with any true virtue, decency, civility, and honor wants to rob women of their own agency. The concept makes me fucking sick to the core of my being. It is morally reprehensible, and unforgivable. It honestly gets me enraged.

Anyone who lived through 9/11 and didn't feel particularly frightened about what would happen next simply wasn't paying attention
