    I saw a post yesterday from some SAHM with two young kids, who’s influencer channel is apparently filled with tradwife shit about supporting your husband in all his works, etc. And she’s crying because her husband wants a divorce, has cut off her credit cards, she doesn’t have any money of her own, doesn’t have any credit of her own, she hasn’t worked in 15 years and has no idea how she’s going to support herself.

      She shouldn’t worry. She’ll get half, and alimony, and child support.
      In my experience the tears are most likely aimed at prepping her followers for her GoFundMe requests.

        The court will order those things to be paid. Her actually getting the money is an entirely different matter.

      I can’t really imagine not having sympathy for these women because yeah, Rightists are misogynists but so are Leftists, and they’re both self-righteously convinced that this is not so. So, she’s got two piles of shit to choose from, the pile of shit on the left or the pile of shit on the right. I’m guessing she went with whichever pile of shit paid her the most… that’s what I’d do, that’s what any man would do, I’d assume that’s what most women would do. In the choice between two devils, you choose the one who offers you something in exchange for your soul, not the one who wants you to give it away for free. Just sayin

          I’m going to pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about.

          I’m saying that for women, choosing between Liberal and far Right is basically like choosing between a guy who openly hates you and a guy who is sort of shitty and sarcastic to you and might secretly hate you.

          There is no functional difference to women between the Left (or center-right I guess) and the Right in a lot of cases.

          When Leftists talk about women “going against their interests,” they fail to see that there is no viable option which protects women’s interests, or at least, there is no option which actually protects all of their interests and makes their interests a priority.

          Both sides claim to protect women’s interests when politically convenient to say so, and it does take some investigation to figure out what they mean when they make such a claim.

    If feel like more of them just realizing that they won’t be the exception to the rule and only really care now that it’s obvious they’ll get the shit end of the stick just like everyone else.

    For a great many MAGAs it is and always was about weaponizing a social and political movement to hurt people they don’t like and now that it’s hurting them, we’re seeing clearly that their principles never aligned with what they espoused. It’s always hypocrisy with them, they aren’t willing to be tradwives and follow the ideals they claim to support, but they’re happy to use the idea to attack feminism.

    If they wind up being forced out of politics, I have no sympathy for them. It was so very apparent, going all the way back to the beginning of Gamergate, that this was the trajectory of the movement.

    “Republican Women Suddenly Realize…”

    No, they didn’t. To be a Republican is to abandon realization entirely.
