I can think of a few things that do more to contribute to rape and degrading views of women than porn, which has existed as long as human civilization has:

  • The actual rape that happens in almost every dynamic where authority is involved: manager/employee, student/teacher, coach/athlete, agent/client, in police custody, etc.
  • The instances of actual rape, at best, not being investigated. At worst, the woman becomes subject to harassment, bullying, and smear campaigns
  • The flood of right-wing manosphere propaganda in the YouTube algorithm demonizing feminism
  • Gamergate
  • Churches pushing purity culture
  • Churches forcing women into quiet subservience that keeps them from speaking out against leaders and husbands
  • Politicians passing anti-"DEI" legislation rolling back decades of progress in women's rights
  • Politicians passing legislation in some states to lower the age girls can get married
  • The techno-fascist emphasis on birth rate
  • That school board official sexually harassing an underage girl on camera and nobody in power giving a shit
  • "Grab them by the pussy. When you're a star, they let you do whatever you want."
  • Jeffrey Epstein

Are they not allowed to?

Most concerning to me is that they, very intentionally, didn't even make an effort to define any of those beliefs. It's vague enough to apprehend someone for literally any reason and throw a dart at the wall for any justification.

Advocate for basic human rights? Extremism, straight to jail. Advocate for pro-worker and pro-consumer measures? Anti-capitalism, straight to jail. Advocate for religious freedom and separation of church and state? Anti-Christianity and hostility, straight to jail. Overcook chicken? Anti-Americanism, straight to jail. Undercook chicken? Believe it or not, hostility toward morality, straight to jail.

I distinctly remember a time when boomers and talking heads would automatically respond to concerns about issues with the cost of having kids with:

"Don't have kids if you can't afford them."

"If you couldn't afford kids then you should've kept your legs closed."

"Don't expect a handout, nobody forced you to have kids."

"Healthcare and child care are too expensive? Tough shit snowflake, that's the free market! Work harder!"

"Why are my taxes paying for a public school when I don't even have any kids that go there?"

So nope, no sympathies. And no, you can't have your child sex brides, either.

Guarantee if you took a picture of that same street today there'd be a lot more than two cars. That probably a played a big role.

Hopefully one day this can be real. Notice how close they're standing to the octagon that's currently being struck by lightning.

What was that saying? If everywhere you go smells like shit, check your adult diaper?

Even better, pirate it and instead donate the money to trans rights groups.

Notice Trump's little gem of Marjorie "Traitor" Brown. Brown, not Greene, because brown is the color of poo.
