    I dunno how you expect to make them not “reactionary dickheads” when you’ve proven my point at least three times over the course of this conversation. If you’d like to keep doing the same thing repeatedly while expecting different results, I strongly suspect you’ll fail. It certainly hasn’t worked for the last nine years.

    • You have no way of knowing, but it’s sidesplittingly funny for a man who is extremely vocal about restricting the rights of women to make their own informed healthcare decisions to then cry about how I’m being mean to men who do that.

      Please continue, because it’s hilarious every time.

        First, how is killing innocent people for no reason was a right anyone has, much less a healthcare decision? It’s not misogynist to suggest that’s not true - a man pressuring a woman into an abortion or kicking her in the stomach is wrong, too. Second, when had repaying hatred for hatred ever worked? If you want to prove me wrong, then you could provide evidence that insulting people with labels like “reactionary dickhead” is an effective political strategy. It doesn’t sound like JD Vance’s “childless cat ladies” comment has convinced you to become Republican, so why would the inverse be true?

        The fact that you’ve simply proven my point four times rather than attempt to disprove it is pretty weird.

            I’m not sure what you mean, but I hope realizing you’ve proven my point for the sixth time will be some food for thought. In the meantime, have a good week.

            • But I was hoping you’d provide more examples of why women are disgusted by reactionaries!

              I heard that they also hate being treated like bang-maids, too. Do you have any examples of why they should be fine with that situation?

                I don’t know what a “bang maid” is, but I don’t want women to be raped. If that’s what you think, I’m not sure what makes you think so. Women at all stages of development are people worthy of dignity, just like men are.

                But hey, if you’re just gonna prove my point every time you comment, you’ll only have yourself to thank if Trump wins. If I couldn’t explain why I believe what I believe (you’ve clearly read my comment history, so you know I do that frequently), that would indicate I should change what I believe. This seems to be your problem; if you were capable of articulating your beliefs, you’d have done it by now. Maybe you’d even change my mind.

                It’s probably best if you stop whipping yourself up into a fury over someone disagreeing with you on the Internet. Maybe try journaling, talking calmly to a trusted friend, or therapy; I’ve found all of these pretty helpful. Like I said, have a good week.

                • A bang-maid is a woman who men reduce to those two functions.

                  It’s common in patriarchal, reactionary cultures like evangelical Christianity and other fundamentalist religions. See the “tradwife” fetish for more info.

                    Ah, well, there’s something I can agree with you on! That is an abhorrent thing to do to a woman. Simply put, it reduces her to a sexual object in the same way that porn does. I’d say it’s on the same level as porn because it trains men and women to think that’s the only real purpose of marriage. There’s no dignity in it, no actual love. It really is just glorified rape and slavery. Besides all that, they make Christianity look worse to everyone else and drives people away from Christ. It’s a lose/lose. I can explain further if you want (and if you don’t go back to insulting me after this comment).
