23. ditto ditto ditto- nt

[onecaliberal]

2. Fuck the patriarchy.

[OMGWTF]

14. I support the South Korean 4B movement -- no dating, no sex, no marriage, no babies

It's a very patriarchal society and the women have had enough.

[peppertree]

21. Too bad though. Korean babies are very cute.

[peppertree]

20. And the Republican women who aid and abet them

Having mostly lived in red states over the years, this much I know: they're even worse than the men.

[Attilatheblond]

24. Yep, & especially galling are the GOP women one personally knows have had abortions

Most especially the ones who then run for office to have power over others.

[peppertree]

25. But of course. Freedom for me - but not for thee.

For them, that's a big part of the fun.

[mjvpi]

37. Male for fucking the patriarchy! These "men" are evil.

[Permanut]

3. In memory and in tribute to my Sister..

who fought tirelessly for fifty years for equal rights, I thank you for this post.

Sis is gone now but what great memories. She had a dartboard on the wall with Anita Bryant's picture in the middle.

[sheshe2]

7. Thanks to your sister's years of hard work. 💙

Bless her for her dedication to women, Permanut.

[bdamomma]

39. We must

defeat this true assault and dehumanization of women. Those who view women as 2nd or 3rd class citizens are in for a rude awakening.

[crickets]

4. K&R!

[CrispyQ]

5. I love the Alice Walker quote!

“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.”
— Alice Walker

[brer cat]

6. Yes!!! K&R

[dlk]

8. They erroneously believe they have God-given authority over women's bodies and women's lives

They live in the Dark Ages and belong with the Taliban

[SweetT]

9. So tired

of being treated like I don't matter to men. I had a man who was the finest person I ever met and married. He died just before the disgusting former president was installed. He hated such men that would require a wife to do all the chores while he spent his time at the bar etc. WE , women, are not going to let this stand. ROEVEMBER is coming. Check your voter registrations ladies!!!

[Attilatheblond]

27. Yes! Check your voter register, and do it OFTEN!

Especially do it a few days prior to the cut off date for registration in your state so you have time to re-register before the deadline!

Since so many local office holders are maga or maga adjacent, if your county recorder is GOP, do NOT forget to check your registration in case such GOP recorders might pull a last minute voter purge!

There are people/organizations working quietly across the nation to sway local GOP office holders to do some pretty despicable things to make it harder for voters to elect DEMs. Keep an eye on your local office holders. If you can, attend County Supervisor Meetings often. Some counties allow people to watch, and even send comments on agenda topics, via the internet. Check out your options for keeping tabs on you local office holders, because those are the people most likely to be used to suppress the vote.

DO NOT LET THEM MESS WITH YOUR VOTING RIGHTS!

18. This 💙💙💙

[Hekate]

12. Blessings to Hillary for her lifelong Voice. "Women's rights are human rights."

[Warpy]

13. They speak for an all powerful god who can't speak for himself

or abortion would have been mentioned as some kind of sin in the commandments or his supposed son wuld have mentioned it as a no no. Instead, god has been silent on the subject since the beginning of time and up to the present.

These dumbasses need to know that it's not a baby until it's born and takes its first breath.

Please, people, GOTV and put these jackasses onto the unemployment line as soon as possible.

16. Men are afraid women will laugh at them.

Women are afraid men will kill them.
-- Margaret Atwood.


This is my signature line here on DU and has been for many years. With all the talk about the 🍊💩 being humiliated and laughed at and his furious reactions thereto, along with the potential threat for retaliation/retribution, I believe in this more than ever because we are seeing it played out every single day right in front of us. It's not just murder, it's not even just war. It's denial of health care, pregnancy-related or not but even more so then. It's unequal pay. It's unequal opportunities. It's unequal language, ffs.

Stormy Daniels isn't on trial, but she's the one being slut-shamed. What about 💩 being shamed for his behavior? Oh, is that just a guy being a guy? FUCK HIM. SIDEWAYS.

And all the doctors just giving in? Just packing up and leaving their state, leaving the women to DIE? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS GOING ON HERE? Closing the hospitals? Abandoning mothers and children? Are they doing it to the men? Are they denying the men healthcare? Are they stopping the steady flow of Viagra (r) and Cialis (r) and whatever else they get? Threatening to arrest pregnant people who cross state lines for healthcare?

I routinely get chastised for saying I'm "pro-abortion." I'm pro-adoption, too. I'm pro-abstinence, if that's your choice. I'm pro-voluntary-sterilization, if that's your choice. I'm pro-contraception. I'm pro-IVF. I'm pro-surrogacy. I'm pro all the choices, and that means yes, I'm pro-abortion. I'm even pro-childbirth, regardless the circumstances, if that's your choice.

Marches and tee-shirts and slogan, however, haven't accomplished very much. I think we need to work on some different strategies.

As the cartoon suggested, for Mother's Day, I'd like all our years of activism not to have been in vain.

[Attilatheblond]

28. Every year, my adult, politically aware & active daughter asks "What do you want for Mother's Day?"

And every year, I look at her and my heart whispers "You, my darling warrior woman! YOU are the best gift."

[bdamomma]

41. It's called

pro-choice like you said. They are forcing their will on women, damn all of them.

Women are in charge of their own bodies. So, fuck off.

[Tansy_Gold]

42. Indeed

Damn all of them. And damn anyone else who makes excuses for them, too.

[Joinfortmill]

17. They made a huge mistake, huge.

[IcyPeas]

[czarjak]

44. "Go fuck yourself."?

When Clint Eastwood was talking to the empty chair, he said "You can't do that." while speaking at The Family Values Party's convention in 2012. A real funny fellow. Especially when he had seven children by five ex-wives. He hates POC2.

[KS Toronado]

22. My 2 cents

[MiHale]

26. Immense K&R...

[Sneederbunk]

29. They think Repug women will vote for them.

And they do.

[calimary]

30. Terrific quotes!!! LOVE 'em!

All of ‘em are keepers!

Our Call to Action email (that my Indivisible group issues every week) always starts with “Notes for the New Week” AND a good, relevant, and timely quote. This list is a real treasure house!

THANKS, sheshe2!!!

[Jilly_in_VA]

31. I'm 80 years old

and I can't BELIEVE I have to fight this shit all over again!

[calimary]

47. Man, does that ever take me back!

I can remember back in the day when I first saw that statement on protest posters at rallies. “I can’t believe I still have to protest this shit”. I THINK that’s a verbatim, but we’re talking DECADES ago. But it’s STILL as relevant as ever.

[republianmushroom]

32. They believe they are some kind of righteous god.

And they are flexing the power they yield.

[ShazzieB]

33. It's a beautiful day to...

[enigmania]

34. These "men"

would be no one if they didn't have someone to marginalize. They bring shame to my gender.

[mcar]

35. I will never forget, never forgive

those who voted "their conscience" against HRC and put us where we are today.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

36. My Alzheimer's stricken hubby had a Philipino PT who said

"Man is the head. Woman is the neck."

Almost makes sense.

[bdamomma]

38. This

comment says it all, we must rise to the occasion.


“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.” — Alice Walker


We do have the power. Those men can go to hell. Did those men hate their mothers?????

[TeamProg]
