    I know a fair number of Conservatives that believe women and minorities should be excluded from voting. Not in dog whistle form either; just blatantly believe only white men should vote

      Which shoudn’t be that surprising, this was the norm in many places until relatively recently. Women, people of color and poor people were never really meant to participate in the “democratic process” (at least as far as conservatives are concerned). The only reason why they were eventually allowed was because they fought for it and eventually, people in power got too scared not to give in a little bit until we are where we are today.

      Maybe I’m too pessimistic, but to me, it’s surprising that there aren’t more conservatives with this view. Because the conservatives who support (basic) women’s rights are essentially saying “you violent lefties were right and correct in the past for fighting what you believe was right, but whatever you are doing right now goes too far for some reason”…

    @braingetter is Caleb Pitts from Podcast About Lists. He’s a comedian and this is 100% irony. He is making fun of people who think like this.

        Well, it’s Satire, so it’s still real just with a comedic twist. There are probably people who read it and agree with it even as satire.

        As a woman in her 30s, I’m partial to glitter and stickers. But I also like swords, knives and axes…

        Guys, buy your woman a sword!

            I don’t actually have glitter in the house, I also own a 4 year old. So that is just a recipe for hell. But I still find it places. So I agree. It’s a pain in the ass, but it’s nice to look at. XD

            Buy women pretty blades as gifts, then we can take down the patriarchy.

        Nothing wrong with it usually.

        In this case it is, because he doesn’t know anything about women and doesn’t respect them.

        Nothing wrong with it, just that without you have no real insight into a fundamental aspect of humanity. So you might end up suggesting that women should lose their rights and be treated as literal children / property.

          I just don’t think one has anything to do with the other. Sex isn’t anything magical that nets you wisdom or insight into not being a misogynic prick.

          Just no.

          Wanting women to lose their right => not having sex because you are an asshole

          This is the correct implication. Not having sex doesn’t imply anything about the former:

          It is snowing => it is cold

          It is cold =/=> it is snowing

          (Note: the => arrow is an implication. A => B stands for A implies B, meaning if A is true then B must be true, however B can be true regardless of whether A is true)

    If you propose some type of intelligence test for voting to these same guys, they immediately back off. It’s only a good rule to them if they automatically qualify. :)

      Here’s an easy test:

      • Should women be allowed to vote?
      • Should anyone in the LQTBQ+ community be allowed to vote?
      • Should any person of color (PoC) be allowed to vote?
      • Should former convicts be allowed to vote?

      If they answer no to any of these, they’re disqualified from voting themselves.

    Unfortunately for the nazis, women often vote more left than men. Hence they want to prevent them from voting to gain power. Classic nazi move.

    What I hate most about this is there actually are women’s elections somewhere. In Rojava they’re a way of protecting women’s rights and political enfranchisement while surrounded by extreme misogyny in neighboring cultures.

    Yes they should, but they should also still be able to participate in the regular elections like usual.

    How the fuck did that get 3.6k likes?

    Update: Apparently he is a comedian and it’s a joke. But it doesn’t look like a joke if you don’t know the guy.
