Of course, if he's a legitimate asshole, the female voter has ways of shutting that whole thing down.

I'm starting to lose hope. Men control every aspect of government, and they are doing everything that they can to put us back into the dark ages.

Unfortunately, they are succeeding.

there are plenty of women eager to vote against their own freedoms in the name of ridiculous and antiquated moral code.

Religious lunatics are trying to take us back to the dark ages, of which this man is not one.

...before the Democrats STOP reviving them?

FFS, Are the two parties so fucked they can only rely on social issue votes rather than directly confronting economic injustice?

And no, focusing on just one of them won't solve the damn problem. In fact, focusing on just the economic side of things might actually make us significantly worse off overall, than vice versa, if anything. We need to address both of them.

is also a very important feminist issue. It ties in with the social stuff, too. If women's health care is sacrificed, how can they achieve any sort of economic justice?

Of course it helps men, too. But I'm also of the opinion that if someone loses some of their rights, I've lost some of mine. Perhaps not directly or immediately, but I know they'll come after me soon.

We can shut them down and return them to the age that they belong.
