When any or all women's health issues are rated as a priority in political polls I might consider your argument worth considering. You actually highlighted the issue pretty well with how often you said talking about it. Everyone talks. The evidence of what has more energy and attention is very evident in polls, agendas, and the general status of women's issues in healthcare centers. When real life action on early hormone imbalances OR preventing CSA reaches even 20% of the amount of attention abortion gets, I'll consider your argument worth entertaining and not just the exact same mindless defense almost every pro choice supporter seems to get when they encounter criticism. Reflexes are a good way to avoid learning things though so I get it.

okay you know exactly what this is alluding to politically which is disgusting to use these kids as an example of why we need abortion when we should be talking about rape prevention for minors and how hormone imbalances cause early menstruation which is not healthy itself. this is why prolifers think pro choicers don't actually care about women's health. nobody ever talks about preventing these problems, just how these girls have a right to an invasive procedure that they shouldn't have to have anyway.

If you think abortion is a health concern and not just a fetish of yours, you should be able to acknowledge that at least 90% of pregnancies that would be aborted can and should be prevented before they happen and that wanted pregnancies should never have to be aborted with proper medical care.

While I've never met a catholic that I like and the Vatican is full of pedophiles, let's not ignore the fact that art is an expression of the human soul and things that have been built up for -literally a thousand years- SHOULD look nice. Many cathedrals in Europe were constructed during free time and over several years. Let's not confuse modern greed and austerity with the blessings of plenty older generations had

maybe it's because i was raised catholic but churches shouldn't look like furniture stores

Being anti corset is not feminist. Like oh I'm so edgy I'm going to hate on the generations of women who invented the best titty and back support because shockingly women have also always wanted to look extra hot sometimes and somehow tight corsets are worse than cute shoes that cause foot problems because they're not MY favorite fashion vice.

Literally shut the fuck up. Your inability to break out of social norms is your problem not your great great grandma who worked in a field with a nice supportive yet flexible undergarment.

An excellent policy to get behind

Yes I’m in favor of prenatal child support.

Beginning at 7 weeks of pregnancy, a mother can take a noninvasive prenatal paternity test to verify the father of her child.

If the father can be safely and reliably identified, I see zero issues with beginning child support before birth. Hold men accountable for the children they father!

The only arguments against this from pro-life people would be arguments against our current child support system itself (which has some serious flaws).

This is not a gotcha. The vast majority of pro-life people are 100% cool with this idea.

Addicted to dick, as it were

If Trump tries to ban abortion/contraception on a federal level, women have an incredibly effective way of fighting back: abstinence. No man in America gets sex unless that shit doesn't pass. They'll change their minds real quick. If it comes to it, boycott the bedroom.

Read what I said slower. Racial nationalists are not always christian nor white. I know both south American and black nationalists personally. In the people I know, the South American is very much not christian while the black nationalist happens to be. None of these people are bad or scary. Not even the white nationalists you think don't exist because propaganda also exists.

Race and religion are seperate things obviously and religious nationalists are not always racial. They are also more strict in their beliefs than the average patriotic American who should believe that all religions are welcome here, it's literally in our founding documents.

National socialists, fascists, and liberarians are supporters of various political systems which are also not the same thing as race or religion.

Generally far right people tend to be more than one of these but they're not all the same. While in general there are more people leaning further right, far right is not a huge majority of the population.

Finally, I absolutely disagree that democrats are closer to Nazi ideals than say, white national socialists, which is what the 1930s NSDAP also was. I would agree that the radical left pushes fascist policies without any self awareness but thinking "they're the real Nazis" is just a display of ignorance on political systems. They are more fascist than the average Republican but like I already said, the average Republican is not far right leaning.

While the violent riots that erupted here in the U.S. in 2020 eventually ended, the political and cultural response to those riots (specifically on the political Left) conceived something that remains with us to this day; something that is beginning to cause a major problem within many communities. The decision to morally justify that violent behavior has lead to a continuing trend of open and bold store theft and looting. Unlike shoplifting prior to the 2020 riots these thieves are overt and casual in their behavior. But that is what comes with the feeling of being entitled. If you are a victim of oppression that has been robbed by the system, why would you not be morally justified in pillaging that same system?

And of course if one believes that the behavior in question is on some level justified, one will be very hesitant to punish it. Thus local leaders first embolden the criminals in question, and then refuse to prosecute them. The problem is that this behavior is causing store closures in poor neighborhoods around the country, leaving the inhabitants of those neighborhoods without access to vital goods and services. The most vulnerable within society are paying the price, at the hands of the "compassionate" political leaders elected to represent their interests.

I have to say this because no one else is, but getting ectopic pregnancy / miscarriage care is not illegal. Anywhere. It’s just not. So if you are suffering from an ectopic pregnancy or a miscarriage just go to the doctor. If your doctor says “uh I’m not sure if that’s allowed” they are lying and that’s medical malpractice.

Racial nationalists, of which there are more than just "white nationalists," religious nationalists such as Christian nationalists, national socialists, fascists, even softer groups like libertarians can count depending on their views.

As my opinion is always that the left and right should work together to find common ground more rather than be scared of each other the way FBI propaganda would have you be, hopefully that's fairly believable. Not going to name drop any verified groups that I've interacted with, I'm not that stupid.

Is this implying that antisemitism essentially appeared out of thin air? I feel like ignoring the (justified or not) reasons one people decides to hate another people means more uninformed people will believe the hateful people's reasoning. For instance, with a quick google search, one big reason for antisemitism is blaming jews for killing Christ. If one side is saying "these are evil people because they killed the holiest man" and one side is saying "nothing we do has contributed to this hate, it's all their fault for hating us" which side are most people (obviously in this hypothetical example the people in question have to be christian) going to believe? Because one of those statements SOUNDS more honest than the other. Like if someone asked me why X person hates me, I'd probably acknowledge why instead of completely evading the question because I believe honesty is the best policy.

The problem is the radical left and the radical right both understand that violence is a necessary means to dramatic societal change but the entire spectrum of soft liberal to conservative thinks that turning the other cheek and taking an -effectively useless- "moral high ground" is enough to change things. Rioters got what they wanted, in part. Any long term goals are not much closer to being accomplished because rioting is short sighted and directionless. The leaders who wanted to preserve their cities from looting should have understood rioting for what it is, a declaration of enmity, and treated rioters as enemies, not like wayward children who need to be tiptoed around. That is assuming city leaders were not quietly supporting riots, which is a very stupid assumption to make.

It's a religion. It's exactly how cultish christian churches act. If you're not one of them, you are going to hell. Be in the world not of it. The good guys and the sinners. The sinners need to confess or else.

People talk about the rise of atheism but the fact is the entire population is still just as religious as the most superstitious backwards tiny village of the 1300s

That's actually why I made this blog, to talk to both sides of radicalized politics and to make references to horseshoe theory as often as I can. There is so much people who treat each other as fundamental enemies could agree on if they weren't in seperate congregations.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

The thing nobody thinks about is how if y'all are planning on discontinuing these "emotional labor" practices, it means you've NEVER been stuck doing them, it was your choice.

Why are so many women in this position that they signed up for? Because generally women are more prone to coping with stress by trying to control things that are not their problem. If you feel out of control in your career, for instance, it's easier to come home and pick out presents for your in laws while being mad at someone else's incompetence than it is to acknowledge your own incompetence in your career and put in the much harder work to fix it.

I, as someone who advocates traditional marriage, agrees with letting go of things you can't handle. The only difference is I tell people to do it out of self love, not vindictiveness. This post is so close to figuring out healthy boundaries and yet they're doing it with a bulldozer instead of a paintbrush.

everyone says join your local mutual aid groups and build community, but uh, what do you do if a lot of them seem to have dissolved and the other ones don't have consistent recurring meetings.
