It is almost like MAGA is sexist.
They seem to like terrible isms.
I've fought tooth and nail against accepting this, but looking at their plans it's becoming unavoidable: This will not end without violence.
I'm not sure if the article covers it, still reading, but one of the things they want to do to disenfranchise transfoks is to require the the name on your birth certificate matches you're legal name in order to vote.
As most married women don't change their name on their birth certificate when they take their husbands last name, they would not be able to vote either.
Edit: The article does go into all of this.
Interesting thing about that is that, while it's still common practice, a lot of more left-leaning women did away with taking their husband's name years ago
I mean, a major problem in society is that two incomes are required to pay off a mortgage - and making one member of that equation unable to work society wide would solve that, leading to mortgages and hence housing price calibration (calibrating it to a single wage income)....
...but I was kind of hoping that wouldn't be a product of gender segregation. Also this seems like it's going to affect a lot of other things and people women's autonomy and hence freedom and safety in jeopardy.
No Bueno.
Tis is gonna be one of the most delicious schadenfraude of all. They think they are safe, but soon enough they are going to discover how important is being a white straight able-bodied male for these fascists. And how unimportant they are outside of a bedroom or a kitchen.
If you think the average guy is going to be treated any better I've got a bridge to sell you
You're overestimating Republican women...
Ever hear one of those stories about a Military wife who believes Rank is sexual transmitted so she has all the authority of her husband?
That's how they think.
It's not that all women are lower than all men, it's that the wife has the defacto "rank" as the their husband.
Disclaimer:
Obviously I'm not saying I agree with it, but that's how they think and why they're ok with this.
You have to think like them, they're "property" so treating a man's wife badly is like going up and pissing on his giant truck, the man will "handle" the offense. And the only way for a woman to gain social ranking is marrying a "powerful" man.
A frightening amount of woman think that's a good system.
I will not enjoy seeing all American women being marginalised. I will, however, enjoy seeing Americans finally exercising their right to protest a fascist government.
