Remember the MAGA women wearing the "You Can Grab My Pussy" shirts? Not all Republican women are going to be upset by this.

[-] QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 39 points 11 months ago

I had to look that up to see if it was real, and sure enough—but I honestly shouldn’t be surprised. Utterly fucking revolting. On the other hand, the tee website display of a black man wearing it while saluting is pretty hilarious

This isn't a leaopards eating faces thing for republican women. These women derive social, economic, and political benefits through their association with the men who hold power in our patriarchal system. By aligning with backwards gender roles or evil ideologies, they feel protected and valued within the system even as it restricts their autonomy. They know what they're doing.

[-] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 39 points 11 months ago

They do, but there is an assumption that the relationship between women like that and the wealthy ruling class men they attach themselves to is reciprocal. It, of course, is not.

Take the woman who has a child by Elon Musk. Her and Musk had a romantic getaway and brief liason. She clearly wasn't upset at being pregnant by him. There was an assumption that she'd be cared for. Even if not directly, indirectly. She definitely did not anticipate that she would actually be confined to an apartment 24 hours a day, entirely neglected without any contact from the father of her child. Nor that she'd be left with a child to raise on her own, and no support either financial or emotional or in terms of literal labor.

Call her ignorant and bigoted, both are valid criticisms. But she absolutely was not anticipating this outcome. There is a presumption from conservative/fascist women that they occupy a position of hierarchy over non-fascist/non-conservative women. That by virtue of supporting fascism and patriarchy that fascist men will afford them personhood. They don't believe in any of the assertions of feminism. They instead believe that women who suffer at the hands of men simply deserve it. That all women are judged in some kind of meritocracy, where belief in fascism and support of fascists itself is a determining factor of merit.

They are infuriatingly wrong. But do not be so quick to mischaracterize all conservative/fascist women as knowingly participating in the elimination of their own rights. They are systematically indoctrinated. Inexcusably, I will add. There is no justification for supporting fascists, no justification for supporting violence against women. To combat the ideology they espouse it is crucial to understand not just what they say but what they think.

I read years ago that white republican women will put up with being treated as lesser in their circles in order to treat others as lesser. So they're fine with being spoken down to and shuffled aside so they can feel free to yell at minorities.

Imagine how little self-respect you'd have to have to be a woman and vote Republican.

[-] nickiwest@lemmy.world 45 points 11 months ago

Making sure that women have very little self-respect is one of the primary functions of American Evangelicalism.

Look at how Teheran women were dressed in the 70s, and contrast that to how they're dressed now. The same future awaits American women.

Tis is gonna be one of the most delicious schadenfraude of all. They think they are safe, but soon enough they are going to discover how important is being a white straight able-bodied male for these fascists. And how unimportant they are outside of a bedroom or a kitchen.

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 69 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

You're overestimating Republican women...

Ever hear one of those stories about a Military wife who believes Rank is sexual transmitted so she has all the authority of her husband?

That's how they think.

It's not that all women are lower than all men, it's that the wife has the defacto "rank" as the their husband.

Disclaimer:

Obviously I'm not saying I agree with it, but that's how they think and why they're ok with this.

You have to think like them, they're "property" so treating a man's wife badly is like going up and pissing on his giant truck, the man will "handle" the offense. And the only way for a woman to gain social ranking is marrying a "powerful" man.

A frightening amount of woman think that's a good system.

I will not enjoy seeing all American women being marginalised. I will, however, enjoy seeing Americans finally exercising their right to protest a fascist government.

Project 2025 will create the Christian Taliban. I highly doubt the dumb fuck female MAGA voters will realize what they voted for.

[-] GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.world 29 points 11 months ago

Some of them want to be subservient. I've heard some even lament voting before. The Christian brainwashing is pervasive to all parts of life.

What if wanting to believe that there is some nice place that good people go when they die, leads people to support the mass murder and immiseration of countless women, children, queer people and BIPOC?

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 28 points 11 months ago

Religion is, and probably always has been a means of control. That's not to say that it is that at every level, or that it's only that. Religion is designed to bring you comfort and assistance in your times of need, while charging you a fee for the service. The business has to run, the staff and bills have to be paid, the top officers need to be fabulously wealthy. Not all religions are against Women, Children, BIPOC, and LGBTQ, but if you're trying to exert control, they make easy scapegoats. White men make all the money, Let us hold down all these minorities so you can smother them to make yourself feel better, now pay us.

One of my friends attends and assists with a great little church. It's a small, modest community church. The pastor is gay, and drag queens come to read stories occasionally. The place is just kept up with. They're not squeezing 30% out of the community. I'm not one for church, but I approve of what they're doing wholly.

They needed conservative women to vote this felon. And now they don't need them because he plans to stay forever. This will happen with everyone that supported him. He has disdain for everyone except himself. He will turn on everyone. His ego is massive and he is power trippin' right now. I can't wait until he tries to fire the Supreme Court and not replace anyone. Trump Jong Un coming soon. When they complete a border wall with Canada, we are locked in.

For the believers, I think that tmany would be fine with this. It reinforces their preferred structure of a patriarchy in which they have a well-defined place and role (head of the domestic household, subservient to the man). No worries about having to deal with a fickle job market or figuring out what you want to do with your life. Your life path is set (get married, raise kids, take care of family), and, for some, that well-defined role the status that it conveys is really comforting. It provides a sense of security.

It's why, I expect, while there are many who fight it, there are plenty of women in Muslim societies who are fine with things as they are. We emphasize with those women who chafe at that and fight it since we've history valued the individual rights of self-determination and freedom, of course.

Thats a big allure of the American taliban to some folks. It provides structure and defined roles in a chaotic world.

Of course, republican men like it for the power, but more importantly, that women voters mostly vote against them. Stopping women from voting would cement them in power.
