    Wrong friendo. Here in the states the misogyny is real and pronounced.

    Have you noticed what has happened to women’s reproductive rights in the past couple of years?

      There are places far more misogynistic than the US that have had women presidents/heads of government. Pakistan of all places has had a woman prime minister.

      Misogyny happens everywhere, but it doesn’t help fight it when calling the public misogynists because they didn’t support a dreadful candidate. A man can be a dreadful candidate, and so can a woman.

      The degradation of women’s rights is down to failure of the Democrats to maintain balance in the supreme court. It also represents RBGs inability to step aside when Democrats were in power. Supreme Court justices should have some decency, retire at say 67, and allow a new generation to come along. Clinging on until 87 was insanely risky as you certainly need 5 to 10 years leeway to navigate out on your terms. RBG was eulogised, but her clinging to her seat undermined a careers work and any progress on women’s rights amongst other core rights.

          Do you want to tell me who you think was responsible for the 6 - 3 majority on the supreme court? Do you want to tell me how what I said was not the reason for that balance on the SC? Do you not think the overturning of Roe vs Wade was the erosion of women’s rights?

          Why are you so fixated on a candidate from the past that was just no good?

              Its in the rules. Dems got embarrassed because they assumed Republicans would play fairly. Which over decades, it has been proven, no they do not.

              They left it wayyy too late in the term to do it. If you leave anything to the last minute, you have no margin for error.

              What’s your excuses for why it was fine to leave it until last minute?

                It’s in the rules

                Republicans didn’t play fairly

                The first or last day of a president’s term is different in your eyes

                I’m the one that’s somehow wrong

                Whoops 🤡
