Correct, they have never at any point actually cared about what happens to women. Whenever a conservative talks about protecting something it means "I am trying to hurt people I dislike".

They were also making noise about "protecting trans people" back when it meant "eliminate middle-easterners." So I fully expect next step is going after women even harsher than before.

It's also code for "wipe out abortion," because there is always a non-zero chance of medical procedures having complications and psychological ramifications.

Unfortunately trans people are just one of the many starts.

Fascism doesn't love any of us.

Same kind of shit when they yell "protect kids!!" when the GOP&co is raping them.

Yup!

Just like they coopted "my body my choice" to justify not getting the covid vaccine 🙄

Last I heard, though, abortions weren't extremely contagious. Sure as hell were never a global health emergency.

New "White Lives Matter" just dropped.

I wonder which influencer fed him that line

The funny thing about that is that there has been one study that shows conservatives (especially conservative men) have an enlarged amygdala compared to other people, the amygdala being the part of the brain that handles primitive responses, namely fear driven responses.

And there's been another study that linked brain damage to having conservative, rigid views. Which explains all the right wing MMA fighters and rugby players.

That's some great doublethink going on there.

Maybe they think that neuroplasticity comes from excess microplastics in the brain ..

Polymers like oobleck. They got mush in their head that cracks when you hit it with a single hard thought.

Sounds like a Huberman/Rogan convo.

Wouldn't it be the opposite?

One of the most important things a therapist ever told me was “contradictions are allowed to exist”. My degree is in mathematics so this was genuinely a controversial statement and it took me a while to actually internalize it. While I think the cousin in question is a dumbass cause MAGA, he’s actually onto something.

In court filings, White is accused of making numerous threats and being both physically and verbally abusive toward his former partner and their teenaged son. He refutes the allegations and is appealing judicial findings in the case, telling MPR News on Thursday the order is a “substantial miscarriage of justice” and “excessively punitive.”

Seems simple enough

It's also annoying in a semantic way.

"At all costs" sounds like it's saying to take every sacrifice possible, even if not every cost is needed.

"At any cost" sounds better, because it's saying something is important enough for whatever cost is necessary, but don't make sacrifices that aren't needed.

Well that's the cost they're hoping for. The costs they aren't willing to pay are things like changing culture to be more harsh towards men who don't respect consent, listening to victims of sexual assault, or punishing powerful men who hurt women.

And compare that to keeping trans women from playing a non contact sport with cis women and tell me which will actually protect cis women.

It's a blonde wig. He's a washed up NBA player trying to make money pandering to the Fox News crowd by pretending he's transitioning to play in the WNBA.

He has physically and verbally abused his wife and kids. He washed out of NBA and European leagues for being inconsistent, unreliable, and dramatic. He's said he'll run for president in 2028. Exactly what you would expect from a Republican "protector" of women.

wonder if riley knows that, or she think being anti-trans would protect her from abusive men.

Jesus would slap a bitch

He's double H
