    It is pathetic. I lost my damn legs as a single father in my mid 30s. I was worried I would no longer be able to successfully date at all. I dated just fine and eventually met my wife. Turns out that treating women as fully independent human people worthy of the same respect I wanted goes a long way. If you’re an alt right chud who can’t get laid, it’s not your looks. Take it from a half man; It’s who you are and how you see women.

      Of all the women I know who date men I can’t think of a single one I would enjoy spending time with that would prefer dating a misogynist over an amputee single father. And that includes hikers and women who don’t want kids. Hell I’m pretty sure some friends of mine would be impressed by a guy managing to raise a kid without legs or a partner.

      Im not a native English speaker and I thought “lost my legs” was an idome of some sort, especially because you wrote it in the same sentence as beeing a single father.

      But no. You lost your legs. Litarly.

      In regards to the rest of your post, absolutely 100 % on your side. I met my wife 2 years ago and it is the most beautiful relationship I ever had, mainly because we treat each other with the same amount of respect.

    I thought “Your body my choice” was sarcastic satire. Is it really a thing they’re actually saying?

      Holy shit, I didn’t really vibe with the comic, as it seemed to me like she was rebutting to what she heard when someone says they’re pro life, not something that anyone would actually say. We’re actually living in a parody of reality.

      My mom was one of those women who voted for Trump. And you know what? She’s a moron. She literally doesn’t pay any attention to politics and just votes for whoever my dad votes for. My dad votes for whoever is running republican. Ugh.

      The thing is, my mom had a septic miscarriage between me and older sibling. She had a dnc to remove to the rotting fetus because she was going to die. One of the last conversations we had I tried to explain to her that she’d be dead today if the laws in red states were in place back then. She ignored me. Literally just stopped talking and ended the conversation.

      My mom is so stupid she’s a fucking hazard.

      I’m estranged from my family, have been for years. But I’d like to guess a good chunk of the women who voted for trump are like my mom. Braindead. The other chunk actively like trump and are openly nazis. The brain dead ones are too stupid to notice they’re wearing nazi uniforms.

      But I guess that’s an accurate description of people who voted for trump in general. Stupidity doesn’t care what gender you are, it still makes you dumb as fuck.

        My mom is so stupid she’s a fucking hazard.

        If there’s a club for that, I’m in it too.

        I literally don’t understand how my mom gets through day-to-day life. It’s just a matter of time before her bank accounts are drained by a scammer because no matter how many times I try to explain it to her, she believes everything she sees online as long as it reinforces something she already believes. If it challenges her beliefs she ignores it.

        She got an email that said she owed money to an internet service provider she doesn’t use, and hasn’t ever used. Obvious scam, right? She knows she doesn’t use them, but the email seemed “Truthy” so she was really worried that she owed them money. There’s no way to convince her that it’s a scam because even facts like “that’s not your ISP, you don’t and have never used that ISP” can’t penetrate.

        She trusts memes more than family members who have degrees in something and are willing to patiently explain it to her. She spends a lot of money buying snake oil, or overpaying for things she can get essentially for free (i.e. buying bottled water because she’s afraid of fluorine in municipal water). This has made me realize what a huge amount of the world’s economy isn’t people buying things they need, or even things they want because it makes their lives better, it’s people buying things they don’t need because they’re afraid of something that isn’t real.

        Anyhow, yeah, Trump won the idiot vote, and he’s going to make changes to the US that will increase the number of idiots. Things are going great.

          I’m sorry you also have a mom like that. But, props to us for surviving being raised by incompetent people!

          And I really agree on Trump winning the stupid vote. This wasn’t so much an election of genders as it was an election of anti-intellectualism vs the educated. Only uneducated, willfully stupid people vote for a literal rapist.

      Unfortunately 46% of women voted Trump.

      58% of white women specifically, although Trump improved almost across the board from his 2020 performance.

      I wouldn’t be fooled by percentages, though. A huge part of this shift was Dem turnout degradation. She saw a historic sag in turnout from Biden peak.

      It’s not that women or Latino men or GenX or whatever preferenced Trump so much as the younger voters gave up on a Dem party that had given up on them.

          According to an article that was recently posted by a Harris phone banker, there are disturbing numbers of otherwise liberal minded women who don’t think a woman would make a good president. This country is so fucking backwards.

      Everyone is retarded and the capital class owns all the large media outlets and the capital class are the major political donors and the capital class likes Republicans because they can make more money when they are in charge. This election was an uphill battle to begin with. Dunking on women is not going to be productive.

            So much of this is ultimately why the Ds lost. The candidates screening “I hope when Trump takes office you all fucking die” are maybe not the ones people want to vote for.

              I have spent decades listening to these people wish just as awful shit on me. I have also watched decades of being the bigger person not work. Maybe there will be no lesson learned without suffering the consequences of their actions, that they wish upon others.

      46% of women who voted voted Trump.

      Many stayed home because Kamala was running on a platform of maintaining the status quo in a time when no one is happy with the status quo except rich liberals.

      Blame Democrats for courting the right to get votes instead of even giving lip-service to progressives. For a lot of people that proved that there is no real difference between the parties and working class people just get fucked either way.

      I know at least 2 women who are Republican. Who say Trump is great. I get told by 1 of them, that I can’t have a view on U.S. politics because I am Canadian. Well, he affects Canada the most, and it is called geopolitics.

    It’s easy to laugh at the right-wingers, but the truth is that this is the way power is measured by the patriarchy - control over other people’s bodies.

    It doesn’t matter if this power is obtained through the use of laws, money or physical violence (it’s usually a combination of all three) - it’s the power that matters, and the patriarchy doesn’t care how it makes you look to the people you have that power over.

    Ok. So on the one hand, people want to tell women they’re forced to have babies.

    On the other hand people want to tell that first hand to fuck off.

    So I have a solution. If they want to force women to have a baby, then that woman gets to choose if a man who voted against abortion gets his testicles forcibly chopped off.

    It’s not a win/win, it’s more like a lose/lose. But we haven’t had any nukes dropped since the MAD doctrine went into effect.

    So, if a woman wants to have an abortion, they’ll call a man who voted against abortion. If he still says no, the woman has to have the baby, and the mans testles are copped off. Not even like a seditive, and sterile process. They instead take the man to the woman as she’s giving birth, and she’s given a meat cleaver. His balls are presented on a cutting board, and as she’s in as much pain as childbirth brings, that’s when she’s allowed free reign to chop, and stab, and go nuts on his nuts.

    Or he could just say “let her have an abortion”, and avoid the whole scene.

    It’s not a win/win, but it’s an even trade.

      Sadly…

      Nick Fuentes, the white nationalist podcaster known for his long history of antisemitic and misogynistic remarks, wrote on X/Twitter as Trump’s victory emerged: “Your body, my choice. Forever.”

      The phrase has gained fast popularity on TikTok, where numerous women have been told their bodies no longer belong to them following the presidential election result.

          Yeah, this obscure quote from an obscure person seems more like a good tool being used by the left to try and paint all of the right as sharing a similar perspective.
