Quote:Republican women are fools if they think that treatment will only be reserved for Democratic women. On the contrary, because Republican women tend to be in closer proximity to Republican men, they're far more likely to be on the receiving end of anger over talkback or other perceived insubordination.

Thanks for sharing this article, I had it bookmarked to post here.

Quote:But now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned and Donald Trump is back in the White House, many on the right feel they no longer need to hide the naked sexism fueling their movement or put up with the annoyance of women in even token leadership positions. As Kiera Butler at Mother Jones reports, the anti-abortion movement is embroiled in an escalating civil war right now over these issues. Male leaders of the Christian right have been swarming Kristan Hawkins, the 39-year-old head of a "student" anti-abortion group, demanding her ejection from the movement. It started after she objected to Republican legislators introducing bills to charge women who get abortions with murder, an extreme move she fears will backfire on the movement. But mostly it was about growing male anger on the Christian right that women are allowed leadership positions at all.

"Removed [sic] this woman from public service," declared influential Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon, part of the "TheoBros" movement that includes the leadership of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's church. Soon other TheoBros jumped in, declaring "We need Christian men leading the fight against abortion," arguing that women's suffrage was a mistake, and accusing Hawkins of emasculating her husband by being "busy jet-setting."

Remember when Christian women of Ovarit got mad when people held Christianity to equal scrutiny as Islam? "Islam is worse," they touted. No, they're all the same ancient misogynistic religious shit that needs to be done away with. Thanks for ushering the Christian Taliban into the federal government under the guise of "not my Nigel patriarchal religion!"

oh yeah, easy to remember that when it still happens. There's a lot of anti-Muslim sentiment that's cloaked in "anti-patriarchy" but it's just regular bigotry. Because if it was anti-patriarchy, those women would keep the same energy around other patriarchal religions and their followers. Somehow, white Christians just don't seem to bother them, no matter how patriarchal.

LOL to be honest, the fact that there are Covid deniers to this day who lost family members and friends to it, some people even died from it while denying it to their final breath... I think there are a scarily large amount people who are actively begging for the leopards to eat their faces. And we all have to suffer their consequences. :)
