      It’s a major theme of these discussions, when women recognize and discuss how the culture hurts us, there will always be men who self select to identify with these social criticism and martyr themselves. Historical and legal patriarchy be damned, women prioritizing their own safety makes men the REAL victims here.🙄

        That wasn’t my point at all. I support my sisters of color. What I don’t support is white women who benefit from the power structures of white supremacy and deem their status within that status quo more important than anything else, so they bit vote accordingly. Nice deflection though. 🙄 right back at you.

            Ma’am, you didn’t read the article.

            Edit: Hell, this smug illiterate didn’t even read the subheading that is right at the top and people upvoted it. Remember, people, bodily autonomy isn’t the only issue at stake with far-right policies, basic literacy suffers as well.

        Or maybe it’s just immature women that can’t fathom being a part of the problem ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Keep whining though. One day someone might care

      Not exactly personal, just tiresome to hear all the time. This ain’t affect me in the least. It’s also ridiculous that’s there’s no outcry regarding the MAJORITY of white women who consistently vote this way. The term “white feminism” was created for a reason.

        I’m sure women of other races would be interested in this. I think it’s great. If a woman can’t have their own pussy, neither can men. Seems fair to me.

          They can frame this as a “man” problem if they’d like, but that won’t get their “pussies” back. It’s a white problem first and old problem second. Maybe say they won’t date white men and figure out something that white women care about beyond themselves and attack that. Like I said in another comment, this won’t affect me directly, so whatever on the effects on a dating/sex boycott. That just isn’t the problem. We have a problem in the white community, followed to some degree by problems in the Latino and Asian communities. Some of that is an old people problem generally, but not all of it.

            No woman of color is ever oppressed by men of color. It’s common knowledge. Men of color support a woman’s right to choose what they do with their bodies. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

            Racist.
