The US is becoming more and more of a shit hole.

And no one cares because the so-called "feminists" in the US are busier fighting for the male right to go into women's prisons and rape and impregnate women there.

I am so glad I don't live in the US.

The world is getting worse for us. We are under attack I'm sure.

No exemptions for rape or incest. Women describe this as a rape tax. I've seen men online protest that 'this is not a rape tax'. But they cant explain why.

It's a result of the GOP gerrymandering in Texas and the GOP war on women.

I have no idea why anyone is even mildly surprised.

That is just applicable to Texas, not the whole USA

So far, yes, but there are plenty of other states where equally draconian laws are being discussed and enacted against the interests and human rights of women in the USA.

Foetus fetishism appears to be gaining a worrying level of traction, despite it not having been a GOP thing for all that long. They are however desperate for the Southern Bible Belt's vote, and so women get thrown under the bus again.

What does GOP mean?

Xenophile · 22/08/2017 14:05

Sorry, GOP is shorthand for the Republican party.

It stands for Grand Old Party.

AfunaMbatata · 22/08/2017 14:14

Ahhh, thank you!

VestalVirgin · 22/08/2017 14:30

Yes, this is totally men making women pay for the fact that men rape women.

But.

I am all in favour of a rape tax.

Men should pay it, depending on income and how likely their group is to rape a woman. (Men who are married to men might get a lower rape tax, for example, while fratboys should pay more.)

I've seen men online protest that 'this is not a rape tax'.

Ugh.
