Every accusation is an admission with these guys.

The guy trying to ban porn and divorce is almost certainly stepping out on his wife with prostitutes.

So I saw, I think on Mastodon, that someone had come out as lesbian to her mother and her mother got very upset. At one point in the lecture, she said that she had attraction to women too, sometimes, but she sure as hell didn’t act on it because she wasn’t some sort of wanton psychopath! And she wanted her daughter to do the same, as people are supposed to do.

And I am not exaggerating when I say that everything about why there is so much overlap between wanting to ban it, and being caught doing it in secret. And why the people who don’t do the secret don’t really give as much of a shit about the banning. It all just suddenly made perfect sense, in a way it never had before.

If I remember it correctly she (the mother) had crushes on women in college but married her husband because “that’s what you’re supposed to do”.

“If it’s not illegal, I’ll act on it, which mean others will act on it! Think of the children!”

Oh look, the folks who said they weren’t going to create a theocracy are doing just that. I’m totally surprised.

No-fault divorce: a concept that’s been around since the 1700s but was first written into law in the U.S. in 1969, resulting in drastically reduced suicide rates among women. Vice President JD Vance has spoken publicly about divorce being too easily accessible, and said during a Christian high school assembly that people shouldn’t be able to “shift spouses like they change their underwear.” In the last few years, Republican politicians in Texas, Nebraska, Louisiana, South Carolina, Oklahoma, and South Dakota have tried, with varying degrees of extremity, to curb their constituents’ rights to no-fault divorce.

Oh come on. I haven’t finalized my divorce yet and your gonna drop this shit now? I’d have to prove my ex had an affair to get divorced, and you fuckers would still make me give half my shit to her too I bet, and give me no custody because I’m not mom.

But let me guess, if I beat her senseless for no reason other than to remind her I’m bigger, that’s completely ok, and infact vital to a healthy marriage?

I knew it was coming at some point but kindly yeet yourself off a bridge Deevers and take your orange daddy with you
