About the proposals to eliminate no-fault divorce. . a weird thought struck

[niyad]

me while reading DU'er moniss' most excellent OP:

These woman-hating patriarchal assholes are going to have to make laws preventing women from buying guns, poisons, etc., one would think. Maybe kitchen implements as well. Many medicines. Why? Obvious, yes?? You trap people into intolerable situations, some WILL find a way out. As a character in a recent novel stated, shaking and crying after just shooting her murderous, abusive husband, "Is he dead? I don't care if I go to jail, as long as he is dead."

Or, will the marriage rate decline? Birth rates? Will they bar women from professions again, hoping to force them into marital servitude?

Or, will women rise up in righteous anger, and stop this patriarchal, woman-hating insanity?

1. Who seriously thinks 50 States will approve NO 'no-fault' divorce laws?

[Tree Lady]

2. At first I was thinking people

will just live together and not get married but I bet that will be against the law soon too.

[1WorldHope]

3. We will rise!

[niyad]

4. !!!

5. One would think they had learned theur lessons after Roe was

overturned, instead they are doubling down, thinking we are too tired, worn out, dispirited, to fight anymore. They must have plans for making sure we cannot.

[musette_sf]

21. My thought exactly.

They must have plans. Those plans are Project 2025.

6. There's no going backward. Too many courageous women have fought too long

And hard for us to have what we have today and their sacrifices will not be in vain. We fight until we have an ERA chiseled in stone attached to the constitution, if we have to.

[niyad]

7. EXACTLY!!!

16. One passed law and sympathetic judge and we go backwards. They want to repeal amendments

woman's suffrage
direct election of senators
income tax
18+ voting

they've chipped away at the first and fourth for years and laws, judges, and even people here on DU support some of those actions. Free speech zones, patriot act TSA 4th amendment violations, etc.

8. Foxglove is a pretty flower.

Easy to grow too. I'd grow it if I were married to an abusive husband in one of those states. Gardening can be soothing.

9. Poke, water hemlock, various mushrooms. possibilities are endless.

13. Easy ladies...

...the missus reads DU.😵

[Demobrat]

15. So is white oleander.

[moniss]

10. Yes I hadn't thought

about the GQP wanting to go back to barring women from certain professions but that is an excellent point and is undoubtedly on their agenda.

[LoisB]

11. Don't these people have any real problems to solve?

[rubbersole]

14. They think they are.

[calimary]

17. And THAT'S the problem.

[no_hypocrisy]

18. These mouth-breathing idiots who want to remove NF divorce will also need

to legislate the removal of spousal abuse as a defense for murder.

19. a friend of mine's mom gave here a big cast iron skillet for her wedding.

she told her- he might hit u once, but he has to sleep some time.

[niyad]

20. The cast iron skillet and the hardwood rolling pin. Exactly!

[niyad]

22. And, of course, there is always the ribs and sauce in "Fried Green Tomatoes".

23. These are weak men...

... desperate to cling to the illusion that they are somehow intrinsically superior to more than half the human population. Guess again, assholes. I think it's time form a coalition of REAL men who will support and defend women against the relentless onslaught of the malevolent, misogynistic patriarchy, and will publicly affirm women's rights to equality in any and all things.
Earlier today I saw a quick video of some inbred shitstain cracker – roughly my age – who dismissed the candidacy of Nikki Haley because she "didn't have any balls to scratch." Jesus fucking Christ, what an ASSHOLE! The only decent part of him ran down his mother's leg. And he stood there with a swagger that proclaimed he wuz a REAL man! No, cupcake, you're not. Not even fuckin' close.

24. Gas stoves will be sold with a length of chain and a manacle.

Poisons and firearms will be stored outside the chain radius.
