Fight The Fucking Patriarchy (Black Banners, Two.)

See, the really hardcore people will tell you life begins at fertilization. Fertilization: When the sperm fertilizes the egg, which is usually a few moments after the man says, "Gee, honey, I was gonna pull out, but the phone rang and it startled me." Fertilization. But even after the egg is fertilized, it's still six or seven days before it reaches the uterus and pregnancy begins, and not every egg makes it that far. 80% of a woman's fertilized eggs are rinsed and flushed out of her body once a month during those delightful few days she has. They wind up on sanitary napkins, and yet they are fertilized eggs. So, basically, what these anti-abortion people are telling us is that any woman who has had more than one period is a serial killer! ~George Carlin

Catholics and other Christians are against abortions and they're against homosexuals. Well who has less abortions than homosexuals? Leave these fucking people alone for Christ's sake! Here is an entire class of people guaranteed never to have an abortion and the Catholics and the Christians are just tossing them aside. You'd think they'd make natural allies! Don't look for consistency in religion. ~George Carlin

...

Why, why, why, why is it that most of the people who are against abortion are people you wouldn't wanna fuck in the first place? Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren't they? They're all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don't want to know about you. They don't want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're fucked. Conservatives don't give a shit about you until you reach military age. Then they think you're just fine. Just what they've been looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. Pro-life... pro-life... These people aren't pro-life, they're killing doctors! What kind of pro-life is that? What, they'll do anything they can to save a fetus but if it grows up to be a doctor they just might have to kill it? They're not pro-life. You know what they are? They're anti-woman. Simple as it gets, anti-woman. They don't like them. They don't like women. They believe a woman's primary role is to function as a brood mare for the state. ~George Carlin

I saw this earlier today.

Some fucking idiot made a graphic showing "An established and complete woman" with a man and a bunch of kids, literally depicted as pure and white. And then a "Victim of feminism" a woman alone with her cat, a glass of wine, a slice of pizza and a sex toy...and a ball-and-chain marked "College Debt" around one ankle. And of course, cat lady is in all respects subtly darker and less prim-and-proper looking than the wife is, and there's hatch marks on the wall behind her apparently indicating how many men she's slept with.

Now, hold the fuck on here. Have These Fucking People ever learned a goddamned thing since, I don't know, the fucking Dark Ages??

Or worse...I've seen shit in the last couple days that looks like it came out of the League Of German Girls or perhaps the National Socialist Women's League of Nazi Germany. Nearly all of it from men. 

Seriously, are you fucking kidding me, guys?

This shit was never about abortion. It was always about misogyny and Conservative White Male Power. And then these dudes have the balls to wonder why women won't fuck them?

Guys, when you treat women like they're some kind of equipment for stimulating your penis, they tend not to like you very much, and you shouldn't need me to explain that to you. It's simple reality these days that most women have to work...not least because American capitalism as it's been for the last 40 years makes it just about impossible to support a family on one income. And not only that...but it's even hard for one person to live on one income, almost regardless of sex.

And not only that, but pretty much for my whole life, at least, women have both been expected to and wanted to participate in the workforce and do various and assorted other things the same as men do. So far as I've ever observed, everything from cartoons to conservative-authored novels to popular culture to science fiction has actively reflected this...if not actually anticipated social change. Hell, I was taught to believe in equality...of opportunity, rather than outcome...and I was a goddamned conservative!

But the truth is, it gets worse than merely rabid, willful misunderstandings of modern economics and gender roles. It gets much worse, in point of fact.

I saw this earlier, too. Karine Jean-Pierre, who is the Biden administration's incoming press secretary, is actively being demonized by Fox News along with her partner (Karine is gay) and their daughter, with photographs being displayed.

There is literally no damned good reason for this shit.

And you know, just in case anybody forgot that the genesis of all this anti-abortion shit was racism, because the Right needed a substitute issue when open racism became unpopular...well Fox News is there to remind us.

These people can't wait to tell on themselves, as always.

Not only that, but it comes across as like, rapist serial-killer level of creepy, too. I don't give a shit. If you or I posted pictures of a co-worker like that on social media, we'd get fired from our jobs and quite likely charged with something. Why is this being tolerated?

And yet, in the same span of time these motherfuckers have managed to get even worse than merely demonizing a family.

A Republican in Indiana who's running for some local office won his primary despite literally being in jail for murdering his cancer-stricken wife by beating her to death with a flower pot because she'd filed for divorce.

And that, right there, is what the vast majority of current Republicans think of women. Republican dudes don't vote for somebody like Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene or Sarah Palin because they make good policy choices. Dudes vote for these women because they want to fuck them. 

And don't take my word for it, ask Ross Douthat. A hell of a lot of these fuckers won't admit it, but that's what they think women are there for, fucking. To be publicly available sexual objects. Unless, that is, they can be owned in one way or another.

Essentially, they believe in sexual Communism, but just for them, until they find one they "like."

And their attitude seems to be that if it breaks or gets sick they'll just get another one. 

But if it leaves, they'll try to kill it.

It's the Newt Gingrich mentality, taken to its logical conclusion.

Or, you know, the Communist reaction to anybody who ever tried to leave the "Worker's Paradise." Your mileage may vary.

Dominance and hatred or, you know, the entire basis for modern conservatism. I think we can safely say that the sweeping aside of the old ways that began in 2008 is complete. Fear will keep the local systems in line. Or something like that.

Or it's no wonder these weird motherfuckers get so obsessed with topics like prison rape. They think they're the rapist, but they live in fear of being the victim.

They want sexual Communism while they're still trying to get their freak on, but it turns into sexual fascism later.

And in case any of you fuckers are wondering, out there in the real world, fascism is still getting its ass kicked.

The Ukrainians hit, set fire to...and apparently critically damaged...the Russian frigate Admiral Makarov with another Neptune cruise missile.

And this ship had the exact same kind of triple-layered, overamped Soviet-design-philosophy air defenses as that cruiser did. Something should have worked here, yet again, but it didn't.

So I'd tread carefully, guys. 'Cause it sure seems like the forces of Authoritarianism, Inc. fold like wet cardboard when faced with any kind of real opposition. And for the record, from what I hear the ladies are taking a very active part in the defense of Ukraine.

I remember hearing a lot back during the Trump years that "The Left can't meme." Well, I'm going to reply to that with "The Right can't fight."

And it's been my experience that pissing off one woman can ruin your day. Getting a whole bunch of them mad at you is some real bad Juju. 

Maybe it's just me, guys, but if you think you misogynistic dickbags have trouble getting a woman to sleep with you now, you ain't seen a damn thing yet. Coordinated campaigns of sex-denial will become a thing if you fuckers get Roe undone and the Feds and the States don't step up to codify it into law.

And there's gonna be a whole lot more dudes getting kicked in the balls if y'all don't check yourselves.

I'm a white man who was raised Conservative and Christian. And I'll tell you what, if I'd have ever talked like these fucking Taliban-wannabes I've been hearing the last couple days I wouldn't have got to be this old.

More to the point, I was raised better than this shit. Why weren't you?

Fight the fucking patriarchy, and I say that as a dude.

"Life is sacred"? Who said so? God? Hey, if you read history, you realize that God is one of the leading causes of death! Has been for thousands of years! Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Christians; all taking turns killing each other because God told 'em it was a good idea. The sword of god, the blood of the lamb, 'vengeance is mine'; millions of dead motherfuckers. Millions of dead motherfuckers, all because they gave the wrong answer to The God Question: "Do you believe in God?" "No." BAM! Dead. "Do you believe in God?" "Yes." "...Do you believe in my God?" "No." BAM! Dead. "My God has a bigger dick than your God!" ~George Carlin
