I don’t know who added the green notes, but I added the ones in yellow. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If the divine feminine intimidates you, don’t waste her time. If nurturing your children is emasculating, don’t have any.
A woman needs a partner who is her equal. No woman wants a man who makes her feel less than. Frankly, if you’re that insecure, you need to work on yourself.
Step up, self-question, and evolve.

Sadly, it's just great ammunition for the MAGA miasma and won't help progressive causes one bit. This struggle is asymmetrical: owning/pwning the conservatives doesn't yield votes for progressive causes the way owning/pwning the libs does for conservatives* - all it does is act as intramural credentialing among progressives, which means its about the false ego, not truth and justice.
ReplyDelete* The reason for that is conservatives appeal to more atavistic fears and anxieties, and people are much more responsive to those appeals. Sad, but true.
