There are slightly more women than men in the U.S., and more women than men are registered to vote. This bullshit persists because the GOP has always been successful getting people to vote against their own self-interest. Like guys living in trailer parks voting Republican because they're somehow worried about taxes. Yep, it's an American Freakshow, all right.
I do not need to read science fiction novels. I am a character in one now. I am pretty sure I fell from space into some kind of modern zombieland. Will the purpose of life here be to just grovel and drool in front of large and small screens with images of the Great Orange One babbling gibberish or will I wake up to find it was just a bad dream? I am getting very nervous about reading further into this script.
It is hard to believe (which is not to say that you are wrong) that significant numbers of men would not understand the *huge* advantage to them in having readily available contraception. It means that they, not just women, can have sex without worrying about babies. So more fun (and loving connections) for both parties.
But there is no question that some of the religious zealots have their sights on taking it down, or restricting it severely. Sorry though not surprised to read that Musk is among the anti-pill nutbars. Surely he is kept sufficiently busy in his professional nutbarism to be able to stay out of this conversation.... Thiel is way beyond nutbar, but why anyone would take seriously anything he says (on any topic, but particularly on how to conduct heterosexual sex) is beyond my understanding.
Project 2025 is the roadmap for Christian nationalism. Christian extremists aren't concerned about having sex for fun or recreational activities, it's only for creating more little god-people. Their only intent is to control women while men can still find their "fun" elsewhere, although of course they lie about it. And, lgbtq individuals are not considered to have any rights at all.
No, it's not "hard to believe," that significant numbers of men aren't concerned about contraception. They've never really had to be concerned about it since it's the woman/girl who can be impregnated that has usually had to worry. Those religious zealots blame pregnant people for their pregnancies, regardless of circumstances.
And little Elon doesn't like birth control because he's only concerned with populating the earth, and beyond, with as many Muskrat babies as possible.
And truly, the desire to return women to a pre-1921 social status is the goal. Women were chattel slaves, men’s property, subservient and without due process or protection under the law. It took until 1878 for a state to make beating your wife illegal. Spousal rape was LEGAL. A woman’s home and children could be remanded to her husband’s sole property…and property is what this is all about. Sick ass white men want that reality to return, abortion is just the first step on removing women’s constitutional rights, and it’s succeeding.
Taylor Swift is an American treasure. She has fans around the world for her music. She provides compassionate assistance with her money for others. She is a strong role model for women/ girls worldwide.

I get more likes when I comment on Nina's posts than I do on my own posts at Business Blunders. Somehow, I am funnier in the Freakshow.

Thank you so much for writing and posting this.

As always -- spot on, Nina.
