  • republican allegiance is to the bible, not the constitution. they say a lot of things about the constitution, but in the end, they just want christo-fascism. some of them are true believers in the make believe, others just use to justify their own cruelty.

    either way, their motives don't matter. it's all about what we're going to do about it.

  • i'm guessing you're too young or foreign to remember what the economic landscape looked like in the 70's/80's early post civil rights era. there was rampant poverty in black communities, especially in the south where i'm from. affirmative action helped bring those people up from that (but didn't finish the job - there is still rampant generational poverty). those were good government programs aimed at a more egalitarian society. sorry if that sounds 'sketch'.

  • i'm going to make it both. we really do need to advance women's equality before we let men take their identities in order to dilute the few offsets women have had legislated for them.

    just like how many affirmative action band-aids are being ripped off before poc have actually gotten equal footing in society, we are pushing women's advances backwards by pretending that we live in an equal society and allowing men to take advantage of the mechanisms meant to promote equality.

  • because laws like this were made to offset the patriarchal dominance of a society shaped by men for centuries. it's unfair to women to let men just take those offsets away from them and it's the elephant in the room that nobody wants to address as they cheer for trans-women's rights.

  • i almost agree 100% with the flying squid on almost everything, except one thing... government isn't going to fix itself from within the system. at some point, the people have to take matters into their own hands. voting isn't enough. protest accomplishes nothing. at some point, the powers that be have to be scared of us.

  • don't take to the streets. take to the dark web. be smart. don't be a mob. know which targets bring the most results. clandestine and precise. once upon a time, we had very smart people at the helm of the internet. i fear those people don't exist any more.
