I love how it reminds people that it’s possible.

I wish that Democrats had listened to that poem when they were supplying an active genocide, adopting Republican policy on the border, or running anti-trans hate in their own ads. They decided to give Republicans a running start.

I honestly wish that a better word had been chosen than “patriarchy”. Because at first blush it does look like “men bad” in an environment in which there are people who are predisposed to dismiss it as such.

Particularly since the patriarchy harms everyone. It can smack of “you’re the enemy and it’s your fault you’re suffering” to the uninitiated. And bad faith actors are using that to misrepresent feminism and perpetuate the patriarchy.

Start telling everyone I interact with what I really think about them.

Personally. Im all in favor of any financal disruption to businesses, do walk outs, sit-ins, strike, most any other form of protest.

Provided they are ineffective and easily ignored.

I would imagine that if you went deaf after you learned to read, rhymes would continue to make sense.

Not officially, no. But it sure seems to happen a lot for people who want to police how others have sex.

I agree, but I would rather catholic institutions are not forced to act in accordance with a moral system they do not believe in.

No one’s forcing them to practice medicine, then.

What makes your morality better than religious morality?

My morality doesn’t involve covering up sexual abuse of minors, for one.

In fact, for most of history, hospitals and medical practitioners did not share your beliefs.

Yeah, and then we abandoned the barbarism that insecure men who want to control women still cling to.

I mean, they could run clinics. Nothing saying they can’t specialize. Podiatrists don’t perform a lot of abortions, I’d imagine.

I see no reason for catholic medical institutions to provide services they believe to be immoral

If they let their backwards sexist standards for what is “immoral” get in the way of medical services, they shouldn’t fraudulently call their facility a hospital.

Flavortown does not need foreign aid.

“A toast to my big brother George, the richest man in town.”

Alternatively:

“You are who you choose to be.”

“Superman.”

I just had a look at the eeeevil taaaankie worldnews community.

I can see why centrists hate it so much. There’s so much opposition to Netanyahu’s genocide.

Called it at the time. Once world defederated from grad, I said that the same people would find a new instance to designate as the “tankie instance” to whine about until it got removed for not being neoliberal enough.

Here we are. Wonder what the next instance is gonna be.
