Reply #16: "Why do men so blithely accept the destruction of women's hard won rights?

[Taverner]

Well...I'll bet you donuts to dollars that a lot of the men who think this is nothing live in safe, comfortable blue states. "It could never happen here" they say. I should know, I'm a man in a blue state. None of my progressive friends are fired up about this, even though it is a big step in the dismantling of not just women's rights, but all personal privacy protections.

Soon after, expect states to start banning birth control, expect the sodomy laws to be back on the books, expect organizations like the Magdalene Sisters to pop up (the church will take care of your baby, as long as you are our indentured servant for life...)

IN short, ever read "Handmaid's Tale"? It's happening - not all of a sudden like it did in the book, but slowly, methodically so no one notices until it's too late.
