Next Stop: Gilead? Part 1

In the midst of all the far-right fascist bullshit
going on in today's world, one of the most disturbing
things is the resurgence of overt male supremacist misogyny.

Their vicious hatred of and war against women, feminism,
and the advances we have made towards equality
cannot be allowed to go unchallenged.

I love the one about 50's cuisine! lol. Honestly, though, these would be funnier if it all wasn't so deadly serious.

What is happening is shocking and unbelievable....yet was predicted.

Now The Felon wants to institute payments for women who bear children.
Sooner or later this regime will come for everyone but if we all band together ....

And tragically, none of this is surprising. What a world.

Love the last 2. I can still see and hear my daughter when she was about 6, walk out of her class and turn to her friend and state “I’m never getting married, I’m going to be rich all by myself “ Very proud mum moment.

@ Bob -- A "Baby Bonus" is a laughably pale and inadequate reflection of the true social supports women and families need.

@ Anonymous -- I hope her ambition came true!

Even the nicest men are worried about being outdone, outsmarted, by even the nicest women. Living happily single after btdt is this woman's plan, now working out nicely.

I will keep voting for the future, not the past.

True.
All true. Project 2025 wants to send everybody back to 1955, when the little women, the Queers and the Colored knew their place: under the withe man's thumb.
It's very simple...

XOXO

This is so frightening. As a grandmother to 4 granddaughters I am terrified of what their future could be like.

Ms. Moon said...

Amen.

An excellent batch of memes. The real mystery is the women who vote for that "ideal world.""

Kathy G said...

I would have fun in the kitchen figuring out what 1950's cuisine means :-)

@ Boud -- Isn't that what fair competition is all about? Or is that just the BS line we've all been sold when men have always unfairly held the upper hand by essentially cheating and excluding competition?

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ whkattk -- In any group of disadvantaged people, there are always some who identify with the powerful and willingly participate in their own subjugation, or who mistakenly think that doing so will bring them a privileged place by currying favour.

Forced fertilization is bullshit, so says this confirmed bachelor.

I made this comment on another blog. How could anyone vote for Trump and how far will he go.

Marie Smith said...

I can’t believe some of the rhetoric from that cult these days. Back to the Middle Ages.

Cleora Borealis said...

🤔 The statement on Warpaint Journal sounds good, but is still only aspirational. We are not yet all raising our girls that way and we need to step up the pace. I'm not just talking about far right or MAGA. Good-hearted, well-meaning folks are still leading girls down paths they'll have to overcome later. 😳

Codex: Lysistrata?
Debra. More of this please. It's about to get really bad for half the population. Some European countries have a baby bonus: 50 bucks a month for a year.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Cleora Borealis -- I agree!

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Anonymous (Codex) -- When I was growing up, Canada had a Baby Bonus too of a certain amount each month. I don't know if it was so much to encourage fertility, as to ensure that stay-at-home mothers had some money they could call their own. The Baby Bonus cheques came in the mother's name, not the father's. And as for Lysistrata, good idea in theory, but in practice it would just result in mass rape.

I love that last one - pew sitters is a great descriptor.

@ Lady M -- Except for JD Vance. He's a pew fucker!
