4. That would be a great midterm TV ad

[DemocraticPatriot]

5. A lot of Republican congressmen should be in prison.

Maybe they will acquire more information on rape, when they get there...

[COL Mustard]

9. Especially when they're up against someone

Who's physically stronger. I guess that's okay too?

Disgusting.

6. Rapeublican Party

somehow manages to have millions of female voters

13. Wanna be Queen Bees are bitter and frustrated when other women might get attention.

Wannabe.Queen Bees usually got their privilege and power using powerful men, male relatives, partners or patrons. I've noticed they won't go after men unless they have the backing of male supporters, even if it's a tacit "good puppy, but we have to say that's not appropriate" type of support. They get the attention they crave, along with praise and treats.
But women who don't have power but need a voice, victimized minorities who need help, or women who have done well on their own (without a man's protection) - well those bit**s are the Wannabe Queen Bee's natural enemy. These "lower people" - without her privilege - are upsetting her applecart, and must be punished for being uppity or trying to get into her spotlight.

It's selfishness. And envy that other women appear to be free to do things she's not allowed herself to do so she can stay comfortably cocooned and praised by her male patrons.

I've yet to see a "conservative" woman of the modern GOP that hasn't been a lapdog of some radical rightwing male or male-run political grooming organization. The days of seeing a Margret Chase Smith or Sandra Day O'Connor in the GOP are long gone.

20. GOP idiots boast openly that they have married women and white women

while completely ignoring the reasons why single women and women of color might be more interested in the issues Dems are for.

[calimary]

21. Rapeublicans. I like that!

[Fla Dem]

7. Sickening and disgusting. Abhorrent that men AND women in the 21st century think like that.

I am so disgusted that these people believe they have control over women's bodies.

[dixiechiken1]

8. JFC...

That's horrifying. And heinous. That is a very, VERY effective ad. And it should be aired on mainstream platforms continuously until enough women understand exactly where they are on the "pro-life" food chain.

[COL Mustard]

10. Women who vote for Republicans

Are useful idiots. And I have women in my family who do. I just don't get it.

[milestogo]

11. I call them self-loathing women.

Can you imagine being married to a man who thinks a woman should enjoy being raped?

[COL Mustard]

12. And is dumb enough

To say so out loud?

[Hotler]

14. hey're either raping or touching little kids. nt

[Wounded Bear]

15. This is why they tried to attack Joe Biden as "creepy" for "touching" children...

They were projecting their own sexual perversions.

Remember that?

16. I've Heard Some Of These Before...

Some of these were new. All of them make me wanna 🤢🤮. Disgusting pigs. Bad enough that any man could think like that. It's even worse that the women would say shit like that.

There were some ignorant statements there, like Todd Akin's. The statement about the "rape kit" was pretty fucking ignorant, and I hope that twit was fact checked immediately. "Cleaning out" is NOT what a rape kit is for, nor what any part of the procedure does. For those who don't know, a "rape kit" is a package of items that medical providers use to collect the physical evidence of sexual assault. That includes DNA preservation, document wounds*, etc. The examination is invasive and after already having been traumatized by a rape, the woman (or man - yes, men do get raped, too) is humiliated again with this exam. It takes specially trained personnel, nurses, physicians and/or PAs to do a rape kit and work with a rape victim, and is not a task I'd want.

*For example, in male-on-female sexual assault, tissue abrasion is different in consensual vs non-consensual sex. This abrasion occurs in different locations, thus proving forcible penetration.

26. The rape kit

Procedure is horrible to endure after being raped.
Very invasive but nesessary.

But I knew I had to go through it.
I wanted the rapist to pay for what he chose to do to me.

But doing the kit was awful. To do that kit after being raped should be enough to put rapists to jail for life.

Me myself I would prefer to kill these monsters.
Rapists and pedophiles and thier ilk gave up thier right to life because the trauma after rape can cause suffering for the rest of a victims life.

[niyad]

17. May all involved receive everything they deserve.

[patphil]

18. Sounds like a party platform.

Their attitude legitimizes rape, and helps the rapist justify his actions.
They are essentially cheerleading the rape.

[ancianita]

19. One level of the video is about how Republicans see just **girls' and women's** reproductive rights

Because these Republican men and women would not say this to boys or men who've been raped.

Another level of the video is to see the content as Republicanspeak for hardening our view of our opponents' sexism so as to repel all women voters.

But it also demonstrates how Republicans use reproduction "issues" as their way of validating male run sexist societies so as get more males and religious voters of both genders, to vote for their vision of "order," be it natural pecking order, christo-fascist order or corporate order. Order = as in obeying orders

It's the politics of Candymanistan.

22. Well said, ancianita..

And big thanks to Milestogo for the OP.

23. Thanks for posting. n/t

24. The thing is - most of these views are very old and most people have been enlightened.

The idea that a woman should "lie back and enjoy it" presupposes that a penis is an object of delight no matter how it is being used. It requires a spectacularly misogynist view to believe this.

The idea that a woman is responsible for a rape because of the way she is dressing - no, women are never responsible for their own rape. Men are responsible for controlling themselves.

The idea that God would "use" a woman's body as a vessel to bring forth a child - well that comes from a sick religious view. But I don't recall that the mother of God was brutally raped to bring forth Jesus.

The public has been enlightened to a great degree over the last 50 years, including police and medical staff. But there are some people who never let go of garbage they hear because it serves them. So they propagate it.

25. Sociopaths

Have no empathy for human beings. To them women are not human beings.

Every male who endorses such hate needs to be castrated balls and all and live the rest of thier days in jail surrounded by superiorly stronger men everyday. I'd tell those woman hating pieces of shit to relax and enjoy it. You gonna be here a long,long time.
