2. We only have a right to life when fluffing straight white rich males.

Otherwise women have no value or rights to be anything at all but birthing machines. We are no longer citizens of this country, just utilities for increasing a poverty ridden, sick and no education work force. That is the dream, workers for pennies who have no rights, thanks the the Christofascist SCOTUS and the ones that put them there.

Four right wing nut jobs have WAY too much power over HALF the population of our country! It is so infuriating!

4. Not according to most religions

Religion always subjugates women.

Those 1st century ce. religions were using women as slave labor. That's why they had polygamy. More wives, more slave labor. Some more primitive societies back then only had a word for female slaves. The idea of a male slave was nonsensical to them.

So, if women die, it's no big deal, just buy another one.

During the witch trails there were entire German cities left with no living females or women. They killed them all as witches. Christianity at it's best.

5. That statement is too broad. Religion does not

Subjugate women. It's men that subjugate everyone different than themselves. Religion is just whatever we make it. It doesn't have any real power.

This is extreme backlash against women’s equality, moving toward reducing women to chattel status.

I wonder if we could do the deny-sex strategy en masse.

You take away our rights, we take away your bedroom “privileges”. The only problem is my deep-seated doubts that enough women would join this fight. It would have to be EVERYWHERE.
