Do what you have to do ladies.

I only have this bit of unsolicited advice. Try to still form genuine connections with men who you consider to be decent human beings when possible. I'm not saying this for our sake either. This is not South Korea. This is ~~potentially~~ probably going to be worse. If our government goes all the way and removes women's rights in their entirety then you're going to want men in your life that you can trust.

I would say this really goes for everyone. Trump's revenge tour is going to be cruel and people need to form strong communities. This is a time where people need to find like minded individuals and band together if they want to make it through the hell that's approaching us.

Republicans: we want pure women

Women:

Republicans: No wait not like that

I see this going two ways:

  1. Video game boycott route. Lot of vocal support but not a lot of actual support.
  2. Selective breeding route. Right wing women have babies, left wing don't. Oh shocker welcome to the theocracy.

It deffo ain't finna be some Lysistrata shit.

You don't pass politics genetically to your offspring.

You don't pass your religion genetically either but mysteriously most children grow up with the same one their parents did.

You don’t need to pass it genetically, most behaviors are learned. Thats not to say that it’s deterministic, but statistically people are likely to have the same religious and political views as their parents.

I can't see this doing anything else than pushing men further to the right as a result tbh

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

isn't this originally a South Korean thing? the men there are probably some of the most openly misogynistic in the world (in terms of general population, not counting specific organizations). i think you're right. at best, this doesn't work; at worst, it backfires.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago

Yes the movement comes from South Korea

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I'm afraid of this backfiring due to newly re-entrenched & emboldened misogyny refusing to do anything against those raping women for refusing to have sex with them. The incels that have been stewing in their resentment for years are gonna explode, and many will get away with it.

Arm yourselves.

Many will try. And many will die. And it's the dying that's funny.
