Well that just sounds every bit as batshit insane as the far right. Basically giving them justification in their minds for being so cruel to women.
"This one bitch just punched me, for like.....no reason. I just said I voted for trump, and then BAM! Shit! She punched me!"
"What did you do then?"
"Oh, a bunch of my boys saw. We held her down and beat her mercilessly. That'll teach her!"
"Nice."
And they'll feel justified. All you're doing is teaching your daughters how to encourage physical violence, which I promise you, will not wofk out well for them.
Teach them to distance themselves from conservatives, teach them their beliefs, and how they view women. Teach them how a conservative will treat them in the long run.
But don't teach them to physically attack someone stronger than them, unprovoked, against someone who would take pleasure in returning the violence tenfold.
Nah, if people wanna go around saying "your body my choice" dont talk to the conservatives I dont give a shit. Ya'll do what you want but me and mine aren't associating with the side who wants women to be objects.
But that's not what you said.
Not associating with them is fine. I even said "Teach them to distance themselves from conservatives" in my reply. But there is a HUGE difference between not talking to someone, and randomly punching them in the face.
I'm not conservative. But if someone, male or female, or trans, or whomever, if they punched me in the face for no reason I'm punching them in the face right back. And I'm the type of person who doesn't start fights, but once I'm in one I do end fights.
Now imagine if it were a conservative who ENJOYED hitting women. Imagine they didn't need a reason, but you just started a fight with them for no reason.
You can end your interaction based on politics, sure. That's not insane. What is insane is teaching your daughters to go around inciting violence by themselves against a group of people who's core belief is that women should suffer. It would be like a 1940s Jew in Germany going out and punching a nazi. It's not going to end well.
I suspect the "punch conservatives in the face" bit was hyperbole rather than literal
