In light of the recent Supreme Court case, where the rights of every uterus owner in the United States are on the line, I thought it was time I do one of my long winded threads so, buckle up or scroll on by.
Let’s start with something that always pisses me off… the question.
The question every reporter asks every republican politician “do you support abortion rights in cases of incest, rape, or severe health issues?”
Inevitably republican politicians tap dance to let women know that It’s not them forcing them to be pregnant, it’s “god’s will.”
The question itself is a problem though. As if under ONLY the WORST possible conditions should we have rights. I’d like to posit a new question for republicans, “why do you want to hurt women?” “Why do you hate women?” “Why do you want to take rights away from women?”
“Why do you think religious oppression is okay as long as it is for YOUR religion?” “Why do you not value the voices of women?” “Do you plan on taking away Women’s rights to vote next?” “Do you support giving women lobotomies to make them compliant baby factories?”
Here is why; we already know that republicans will invoke their god to justify forcing pregnancy on all people with uteruses, but offering slippery slope arguments puts them in a position to defend how rights have been stripped from women for centuries in the name of god.
We typically shun away from these questions, because slippery slope arguments seem inflammatory, but I believe the day has come for us to inflame. The day has come for us to be a thorn in the side for these forced birth patriots. If we do not stand today, our daughters will pay.
My next issue; women wield no political power. We have power to whatever degree white men give us. We latch on to them, and hope they will give us freedom but in this nation, after hundreds of years we are still second class citizens. I urge women to realize that.
The reason we allowed them to control us for so long is the exact same excuse they use to take away our rights today. Religion was taught to us as girls to control us and make us willing pawns in our own subjugation. Look at our own Supreme Court patsy for the patriarchy.
No woman should ever be okay with allowing the government to have control over her or her sisters. Religious indoctrination can twist a child’s brain to hurt themselves, and to hurt others. I’m reminded of that famous quote by Steven Weinberg, “With or without religion-
good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil - that takes religion.”
I’m reminded of how matriarchal religions were brutally destroyed by the Catholic Church during the Spanish Inquisition.
For a supposedly “pro-life” institution the Catholic Church has a lot of blood on their hands and pedofiles in their closets. Their churches built on the exploitation of women, people of various races, religions, and the bones of children. Why would any woman give them power?
You may have been brainwashed at some point but you’re an adult now, and it’s time to break the programming that said you were to be meek, and a servant to men.
You were made to live your life, not cater to theirs. You are an individual person. You are only beholden to yourself
Many women have already scrolled by, they did as soon as I mentioned religion, because it’s ingrained in them to shun the non-believers.
Those who are still with me, I’m about to go darker. So trigger warning.
The pain mankind has put us through for a millennia must be put to an end. Our rights are about to be taken away because a rapist was elected president, and an old white supremacy turtle refused a black president his Supreme Court nominee.
That same turtle fuck allowed a rapist to be sworn in as a Supreme Court justice, and then pushed through the nomination of a woman so trapped in her religion that her eyes permanently scream “HELP ME I’VE NEVER ORGASMED!”
If their wonder twin powers activate, we’re back in 1950
The fact that America would even elect a rapist tells me that it’s time to burn the patriarchy. The fact that over 90% of CONVICTED rapists never see jail time, and are not registered sex offenders tells you that crimes predominantly against women don’t matter.
Men can assault us, take our rights, force us to have babies, sue or jail us if we seek an abortion, have parental rights over the baby that was a product of rape, AND NEVER SEE JAIL TIME.
This country is a fucking shit sandwich with a side dingleberry pie.
I don’t think men can fathom the rage I feel. Knowing I will always make less than a man in America doing the same job, based solely on my gender. Knowing my rights are fluid while yours are never challenged. Knowing that property damage will earn someone more jail time than rape
And knowing to most men, calling someone a woman, or accusing one of being effeminate is the greatest insult they can muster because they are incapable of respecting us, and seek to degrade our gender.
Knowing that fathers have raised their daughters to hate themselves, and to vote against their own best interests, to the point where their greatest qualities are that they “aren’t like other girls.” Or that they would allow Trump to grab their vaginas.
Fuck my country, fuck the Supreme Court, fuck the patriarchy, fuck white supremacy, fuck the murdering rapist Catholic Church. They can catho—lick my fudge factory. fuck this nation under god, indivisible by my cavernous pork tent. A-fucking-men. Merry Christmas.
Oh, and fuck women that fuck over their own gender. Grow the fuck up, sky daddy hates you, almost as much as your real dad does.

Let’s discuss why masturbation is demonized, and how body control morphs into religious indoctrination. While this topic applies to both flogging the bishop and pressing the devil’s doorbell, it affects men and women differently today.
I’m going to start with circumcision and how it was adopted by Christian fundamentalists to prevent boys from feeling carnal pleasure through slapping the one eyed salamander. In the Victorian era both male and female circumcision were practiced on children.
Female Genital Mutilation was thought to stop “hysteria” in women, which was a “mental illness” thought to be caused by a woman’s reproductive organs, by *checks notes* MALE doctors. 🚨Fun fact: hysteria was actually caused by women being tired of men’s fucking stupid shit.
If you don’t have long wavy hair you’re missing out on some pretty great experiences, like: seeing someone out of the corner of your eye in a dark room, but it’s actually your hair. Feeling spiders on you, but it’s just your hair. Thinking your hair is on you, but it’s spiders.
And my personal unfavorite; how do I phrase this… removing hairs that have fallen off of your head, and nestled in your ass crack somehow, despite the fact that it makes NO LOGICAL FUCKING SENSE!!! I’M WEARING PANTS AND UNDERWEAR, HOW?! FUCKING HOW?! Yet here I am…
12:31 AM pulling a titanboa length hair from betwixt my ample cheekdom thinking “how the fuck?!” For a solid 12 min extraction of exploratory tresses, and contemplating both physics and my own life choices on a Tuesday morn.
Texas still has a ban on the sale of female sex toys, because the men feel emasculated that they can’t please us. Luckily, it’s not enforceable because it’s unconstitutional. This ban was never repealed. It was introduced in the 70’s, and upheld in the 2000’s. Let’s discuss…
They banned sex toys due to “obscenity” and stated they could only be sold in the state as “cake toppers” for bachelorette parties. If you went into a sex store in texas, they would be labeled as cake toppers, and marked with a sticker that said not for internal use.
This ban was signed by *checks notes* men. The war on women in this state is real. They may take our body autonomy and our dildos, but they’ll never take our ability to hump the washing machine with an unbalanced load…
My thread about 9/11 was not to say that 9/11 wasn’t important. It was to talk about how we ignore and forget millions of deaths caused by billionaires greed, every year. Yes, I include Covid in that list, because we would have stayed shut down, if it wasn’t for their economy.
Many people pointed out how disheartening it was to watch people search desperately for family, and that reminds me of people searching desperately for loved ones after hurricane Katrina. It reminds me of parents screaming their kids names outside of schools, movies and malls.
People pointed out how they knew people who had passed or attended funerals, and I imagine children orphaned from Covid, or people who have lost their whole families to domestic gun violence can relate. People pointed out how for a brief moment we stood together…
9/11 seems like a drop in the pond compared to so many tragedies that have happened since. At the time, it was formative for millions of young children like myself. We were bequeathed disillusionment. The burden of believing everything would be ok, was lifted from our shoulders.
I was a teenager, who showed up to school late, because she wanted to finish watching “Ghostbusters” and my first period was art, and my project was already done. By the time I showed up at the high school, I immediately thought there had been a shooting.
People were outside crying and screaming, as I ran into the building to find my friends, I saw some classes were going on but most kids were watching TV or wandering the halls. I walked into an open class to see what was on TV. Immediately I saw a building collapse.
A lot of people may be confused about Texas and why the women don’t just use birth control, so I’d like to talk about my personal experience in this state to give some insight; first of all, Texas teaches abstinence only sex education. Purity culture reigns supreme.
The idea is that if you have sex as a female you are unclean and lose your worth in the eyes of male suitors, and god. Your dad may even take you to purity balls where you promise him, in a room full of other dads, not to have sex with any man until you’re married.
You may be thinking that this sounds like a period piece, some movie set in the 1500’s depicting how women should behave, until they are sold into marriage by their father. Honestly, this is very much a holdover from that era. Our religious indoctrination will also enforce this.
