1. It isn't solely women's responsibility to fight for equal rights any more than it was the sole responsibility of Black people or LGBTQ+ people or any other marginalized group. In fact, most marg. groups are so small that they would *never* accomplish their goals if not for help from non-members who understand the need for equal rights / equal protection for all. So PLEASE let's stop putting this fight solely on the shoulders of women! Any man who loves, likes, or respects women, or is simply committed to the goal of equal rights / equal protection needs to be *just* as committed to this fight.

2. Sadly, some women *don't* know. They've been raised in ultra-patriarchal homes and brainwashed by ultra-patriarchal churches or other orgs. djt, sadly, has a lot of support among white women.

3. jdv is married! His wife isn't the only self-hating woman to marry a man who hates women.

In what fever dream is throwing their daughters under the bus a good move for the country?

When I was a teen, becoming pregnant meant you were "visiting with Aunt Mabel, and going to school there for a year". Having an abortion was Nuclear-level secrecy in the immed family. Or parents were told you were spending the weekend with a friend. Parents never told, even decades later. I bet with no contraception or abortion, no GOP funding for the extra children will be approved.

I don’t believe that for one second. They don’t care about children, except maybe their own.
