You really should think over saying that a little more. It's a big country and shovels and lye are cheap.

Are there really people who unironically say that? How is it possible to attain this enlightenment level delusion? It's like Buddhism, but for morons.
i asked that yesterday.
there are.
yes. I'm not sure how unironically it's meant but it doesn't matter when you have a group of boys yelling "hawk tuah" and "your body, my choice" at a 12 year old girl. I've got boys so they have been insulated but my best friend has girls and he's getting unbelievably pissed off.
It's been very common since the election. Young girls at school are being harassed by boys who say that to them.
I wonder how that will impact those girls as they get older and start entering politics. Will it push them further left? Will they feel disparaged sooner and give up on politics sooner?
And same for the boys. By saying such dumb things so publicly at such a young age, will they face repercussions from their peers and get inoculated against manoshere-type-misogyny? Or will those beliefs become more ingrained in them and become a core piece of their identity?
Honestly, it will probably do little or nothing. A lot of adolescent boys make a habit of saying whatever they think is shocking and will get a reaction, and kids that age in general try ideas on like they're changing clothes. It's just generally not going to "stick" in the way you think. Once the next shocking thing comes along they'll drop it and probably never think of it again until it's 2040 and they think back about what idiots they were as kids.
Although in the era of social media, they may never get the chance to do so.
Yes.
