97. not that I'd condone any such horrific violence, but....

Thu Jul 4, 2019, 05:09 PM

Jul 2019

it comes to mind that someone properly motivated could probably find a large number of women who are secretly frustrated at their mistreatment at the hands of the patriarchy, and who are in particularly good positions to do something about it for the rest of us (due to who these certain fed-up women I'm thinking of happen to be married to)...if they managed to organize and recruit enough members and sympathizers, and wanted to get all "Game of Thrones" style about it in a coordinated display of solidarity and so on....

Or we could just get that whole segment to stop voting how their abusive husbands tell them to, and vote for their own interests for once, I dunno...I bet someone could come up with an effective psy-ops campaign along those lines too. If anyone was so inclined.
