@SatanicNotMessianic can't say any of that is wrong or unreasonable, but I still do find the expressed intent of the post more misogynistic than the use of the word female in context.

@SatanicNotMessianic @Deceptichum I think that's somewhat fair, but linguistically "female" is an adjective and "women" is a noun. The noun in that sentence is "singer" and female is a classifying adjective.
The original post IS stupid and has sexist overtones, but I don't think they come from word choice.
@MicroWave yeah but the supreme court can easily threaten the constitution. That's what 2/3rds of them were appointed to do in the first place.🤷♂️

Unfortunately, one of the conservatives' strategies at play here is they only give "right of conscience" to people with political power over other people.
They aren't giving normal citizens the right to object to anything, they're giving unelected officers the right to torment those beneath them.
And unless you're willing to be as evil to innocent people as they are, you can't fight that war.
In the end what they're destroying here is the rule of law itself.
