Well, I guess maga chuds can always just fall back on good ole reliable porn... ooohhh sorry dipshits, you banned that too.

The male maga chuds will just sleep with female maga chuds. This isn’t going to really accomplish anything except for liberals not getting laid or procreating.

Except there aren't that many of those female maga chuds. That's why they're so keen on taking away womens' rights. The only way they can get laid is if the women have no choice.

Isn’t this how the movie idiocracy started?

Didn't we see the Maga dating apps be flooded with dudes and barely any women?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 minutes ago* (last edited 4 minutes ago)

I have no facts to back up this claim:

Isn't that every dating app? Mostly men and bots?

Fun history fact, this is also called Lysistratic nonaction after a play by Aristophanes and has been seen in both myth and recorded history for a variety of purposes, usually to end wars or other violence, but also often to protest the infringement of women's rights.

Like the old adage goes, “there’s always a relevant Aristophanes play”

American women should absolutely say it out loud, "If you voted for Trump, no pussy." I saw that stated (low-key) when I was dating a few years back. Their profiles either said, "Don't care about politics.", which translates as, "Fuck off with your Trump shit." Or, outright said, no MAGA, in those words.

I saw both types on tinder when I was using it a few years ago. Some would say “no MAGA” and some would say “no libs.”

I suspect religious indoctrination to be the main factor as this was UT and AZ but there are more women out there willing to vote for their own objectification and yoke than I think we assume.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

Funny, in Russia "I don't care about politics" usually means something similar to Trump support.

"No Z" I have seen a lot, but usually those very socialized etc girls have that. I'm aspie (probably also social anxiety and PTSD). Nothing to discuss with people whose profiles indirectly say "don't be a whiny bitch".

"Don't talk about politics on the first date" used to be a thing but now even as a man I think I would need to know someone's political views in detail before a second date. It's not enough to just vote for the same candidate. Plenty of people who despise each other's ideology voted for Harris. I'm even afraid to talk to some old friends about politics. I know they're Democrats but it's still possible for one of us to say something that would seriously damage the friendship.

It's like being Goldilocks. This one is too far right, that one is too far left...

If i used tinder, or the like, the first line would be “if you ever voted for trump, swipe (whatever way is bad)”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 minutes ago

On a side note, why do people swipe? I always find that pressing either button is more convenient.

For now, McKenna isn’t sure exactly what 4B will look like to her in the election’s aftermath. She wants to do more research on the community. She’s not swearing off sex for ever, or taking a vow of celibacy. “Now when I go out with my girlfriends meeting people, instead of mingling to find a date, I’m going to mingle to get change,” she said. “When men come on to me, I’m just gonna push back.”

Good on them!

Good on them. Hopefully the blue balls hurt.

At the risk of quoting supervillians, is it power if you're not using it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

Ask the countries that have nukes.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Oh, I'm certain they're using it—just not giving it to men.
So yes, Pussy Power. 🤘

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

The ultimate power, I’d say. People will lose their shit.

  • More women voted for Trump this time compared to 2020
  • 46% of women who voted did so for Trump
  • Around 90 million people who could vote, did not vote (can be arsed to figure out how many women did not vote but probably half of that figure)
  • Voter turnout will likely be less than in 2020

As a foreigner reading these articles, I can just laugh. This "movement" is too little too late. Probably not even a real movement given how social media is an echo chamber so fucking removed from reality.

Good for them I guess, but the chance of doing real change was a few days ago, so can't take you guys seriously anymore. lmfao.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

Yeah, lmao, they're losing their rights and are trying to find a semblance of control! lmfao!

And I'll bet 100% of the women pushing the American 4b movement voted for Trump or stayed home! And no way any of them were politically engaged and fighting for their rights before the election! Because otherwise your stats and points would be kinda fucking irrelevant right?

An obvious /s for the kids in the back. Even if their movement fizzles out, people are scared and trying to find a measure of peace. And laughing at that is a shitty thing to do.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago

I mean let’s just do numbers, that’s damn near 50% of women that didn’t vote for Trump and we know that 50% is majority younger women below 40. If even just half of that crowd, 25% of total younger women, join this movement, it becomes a disaster for men.

I mean if 100% of your dating pool are women and 50% of them decide they won’t date or have sex with you, that halves your chances of getting a date. Could even be worse for certain demographics like Latino men. That’s really rough. Even if half of what I estimate participate, that would still be a quarter of your dating pool gone and for men it’s already pretty dire as people are meeting/dating less and staying single longer.
