1. That makes men the parasites nt

[bottomofthehill]

14. I actually think that makes the baby the parasite...

lets face it, its just about keeping women in their "Place"

2. He meant to say "handmaiden".

5. That was my first thought, but then I thought about

last season, and the fact we got some satisfaction, it made me feel a little better. Don't want to spoil in case there are those that haven't watched yet, but those that have, know exactly what I mean.

3. Florida, a once nice place being more fucked up by the GOP each day. n/t

4. Host body...brood mare

What's the difference?

Lysistrata, ladies?

6. Already the death cult has moved well beyond Gilead and is entering...

Frank Herbert's Bene Tleilax territory, where females are no more than disposable pithed incubators.

They had better stop... Now.

9. Background: Study up, this is going to get ugly.

A trade secret of the Tleilaxu, an axlotl tank is a "device for reproducing a living human being from the cells of a cadaver", a type of clone called a ghola. Axlotl tanks are semi-artificial uteri created by transforming women into biological factories."

15. Well, Ofmatthew was that

So, we are definitely in S3 of THT at this point. JFC.

8. That's an ultra-right-wing catchphrase.

I've seen it before. They're dehumanizing women so they can subjugate them.

[stamperman]

10. Hmm....

Is a "host body" the same as a "birth person"?

And wouldnt a "host body" be what a "parasite", i.e. a fetus, lives off of? So this GOPer thinks that a fetus is a parasite? I thought they "respect life"?!

Discuss!

11. We need to start making ads now

This is what's at stake for the women of America if Republicans gain anymore power, and they aren't just going to stop at abortion. The Republican Party doesn't consider women as fully human, they consider women property.

12. Women, reduced to nothing more than incubators.

Some things never change.
