    This is a distraction, and will go nowhere. Women voted for Trump. Try to understand that and move forward with real political action.

      Yes, it’s a flawed premise. Women who voted for Trump will sexy time the guys who voted for trump. The ones [not] getting fucked here are Harris supporters.

      It’s simply a symbolic gesture designed to make noise, and it’s doing that.

      Also, I’m sure continuing the casual fun of treating and speaking of men like dirt won’t backfire, even though all the research shows that Dems have been ceding male voters incrementally in greater proportions to Republicans since 2008. Leave it to Dems to double down on the dumbest ideas in the wake of a loss.

        See that’s one of my personal issues with the current feminist movement.

        You can empower women without insulting men. Especially without alienating men entirely. Just creates resentment on both sides.

    Man, I’m already having a hard time…

    But at the same time if I was a woman I’d probably do the same thing and I say power to them.

      Eh, if women are increasingly avoiding relations with Trump voting men then surely that improves your odds, assuming you’re not a Trumper?

      Good lord what have you been told that you even remotely believe this is the end goal.

          I’ve heard no fault divorce, haven’t read too much into it. But rape is illegal. In the article he mentions things down to 4th degree rape being an inappropriate smack on the butt and being able to prosecute that under law is absurd.

          I live in Washington state where notoriously in a divorce the wife wins custody of the children, child support, and half of everything if there was no prenup. My friend who got divorced in 2017 had to sell his home and give half of the money made to his ex wife. She didn’t have a job during their marriage. She also filed for divorce. Not him. He didn’t just lose his wife, he lost a lot of his financial gain he believed he was building towards something in a marriage that lasted 5 years. I get that it’s both parties that need to recoup on the 5 years they believed they lost in a non working marriage.

          The idea that you can simply say “don’t like this anymore, I’m leaving and taking half your stuff if not more” is a legal nightmare for many. I get it’s there to protect women, and no one here wants to abuse their wives. The law is a double edged sword and there should be scrutiny in applying it.

          There’s a reason why “men can be victims of domestic abuse” are becoming a little more popular. They’ve been neglected, especially here in the Seattle area where men almost indefinitely lose their rights in an event of a divorce.

            All of this around losing your stuff in case of a divorce didn’t factor into the original argument, but here are my two cents nonetheless:

            Just never ever marry without signing a prenup before. And if she doesn’t agree on one then this is a red flag anyways.
