What Republicans don't want women to remember

[Omaha Steve]

I just got this from a friend through FB.

[JoeOtterbein]

1. K n R ! Thanks for posting! nt

[niyad]

2. Thank you for this excellent reminder. Would you consider criss-posting this in Women's Rights And

Issues? Thanks in advance.

I fail to see how any women who possesses an iota of self-respect could ever be a puke. Or perhaps I answered my own question.

[Diamond_Dog]

3. Just mind boggling!

Thank you

4. As abhorrent as we may find that...

there are still countless women who'll vote straight republican every election. WHY?

I don't get it. I really can't understand why people will continue to vote against their own best interests.

[Tommymac]

22. They LIKE being objects for men to abuse. It's all about the education.

They think it IS in their best interests to be kept by a man. In fact, they have been CONDITIONED to feel that way.

Religious based education at work.

[whathehell]

32. No, as a woman I'd have to disagree that

conservative women "like being objects for men to abuse"...No one but the very sick "likes" being abused. They have a different understanding (or misunderstanding of it.

5. I knew a female LT who had to get her husband's permission for a checking account.

We were stationed in Puerto Rico, Rosie Roads, together. She told me how she had to get her husband's signature to open up a checking account at a local bank. This was back in 1986.

The GOP was willing to have women join the military and risk their life for their country they just couldn't have a checking account, without their husband's permission, while doing it.

[TimeToGo]

30. In 1986?

[Farmer-Rick]

34. Yeah, 1985 or 86

For some reason Puerto Rico still had those misogynistic draconian laws. She was pretty pissed.

[TimeToGo]

35. Crazy

[alphafemale]

36. I am guessing because it is a very religious area. nt

40. Back in the mid 80s

I was working at Ma Bell, a good paying union job and wanted to buy a VCR player for the kiddos. I decided I wanted to establish my own credit so I wanted to finance it and make payments. Went to Sun TV and chose the model I wanted. When I told the salesman that I wanted the to finance it he told me I’d have to have my husband fill out the paperwork and submit it. I objected-telling him I certainly met their threshold of weekly pay to support making monthly payments and I wanted my name and not my husbands on the financing. He was dismissive of me and said there was a section on the back that I could fill out but I’d need my husband for the loan. Needless to say I walked away and did not buy it. There was a family owned tv store in my community so I decided to go there. Told the female co-owner of the store what and how I wanted to buy, told her what happened at Sun tv and she checked my weekly pay and said no problem-I’d love to sell it to you!! So I fully understand the frustration of being denied the right to make a purchase that a man could have made with nary a problem.

6. So repugs have been even worse than I realized, for even longer than I realized?

Go figure!

[demigoddess]

7. just recently my husband put his name on a bank account in my name, without even asking me.

[Hekate]

10. I hope you are able to rectify that. Immediately.

Best of luck.

[Rebl2]

14. I would

go to the bank and complain about this and tell them you did not give him permission to do that and his name is to be removed immediately.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

18. Was this the First Republican Bank of somewhere?

I cannot believe a bank would do that. You need to close that account and open one somewhere else that won't just allow anyone to add their name to your account.

[demigoddess]

45. community property state.

[Rebl2]

46. I still don't

understand why that gives him the right to put his name on the account without your permission or why a bank didn’t ask your permission first. Does it have to do with the fact you made this money while you were married to him?

[KentuckyWoman]

19. Oh I bet that was an interesting conversation.

or depending on your personality, an interesting silence ....

[Tommymac]

23. The Bank should not have been able to do that without your permission.

I'd get a new bank.

[DBoon]

43. I'd get a new husband too

[mrsadm]

44. how could that happen?????

Is that even legal?

[SheltieLover]

8. K&R!

[BigmanPigman]

9. And they VOTED FOR

keeping women pregnant and barefoot.

[FakeNoose]

13. Well, I think you're referring to the recent Texas anti-choice law

Am I right?

This is not the attitude of the MAJORITY of Republicans, outside of Texas and a few backward states. Sooner or later the Texas law is going to go away. Either when Abbott gets tarred and feathered and kicked out of government, or when the US Congress passes new Women's Reproductive Rights laws that will supersede anything the states do.

I hope I live long enough to see this happen.

[BigmanPigman]

15. So do I !!!

[smirkymonkey]

11. As long as I live, I will never understand why any woman would cast a vote for a republican.

In fact, I will never understand why anyone who isn't a rich, white, christian, privileged, straight man would cast a vote for a republican.

[FakeNoose]

16. My understanding is, it doesn't matter if a women is rich, white or christian

... what really matters is whether she has a brain.

I didn't join the Democratic Party until 2008. I was an independent for 34 years of my "voting" life. However - NEVER ONCE did I vote for a Repuke. I remained independent because for a long time I believed there might be a Republican - sometime - that I might want to vote for. But there never was, since 1972 when I reached voting age.

I know there are a lot of independents out there who lean left, and mostly vote Dem because I was one of them. Anyone who is paying attention now, cannot possibly lean any other way. If they lean right, then they aren't paying attention. Also people who have quit the Repuke Party because of Chump - they aren't necessarily joining the Dems, many of them are going to remain independent.

I believe the future of our Party is bringing those left-leaning independents into our tent.

[mahina]

38. Very true.

[halfulglas]

41. Left leaning independents - yes, Republicans who voted for Biden - maybe not.

Some of them are already going back to the Republicans, especially those who consume mostly MSM, and only get their news from nightly evening news or local news. My best friend, a Republican all her life pretty much because her family always was, etc, but voted Biden this time because of the mess Trump made of COVID, is already saying she thinks Biden "may not be up to the job," because of whatever the line is today in the news. I almost exploded when she says she "kind of likes DeSantis" for 2024. She has heard little of his orders against masking of teachers and students in school and the steps he takes to try to enforce it. We usually have a no politics rule when we are together so I only get a small chance to explain DeSantis' antics.

[czarjak]

12. Rich, educated white guys make the best decisions? Fox says so. Ask 'em.

[calimary]

17. A KEEPER!!!

[IronLionZion]

24. Conservative women exist

[lastlib]

25. The meteor didn't kill all the dinosaurs.......

Those that survived became repuglikans.

[burrowowl]

26. The younger generations

don't realize what had been gained and now, hopefully, they'll realize what they are going to loose and put a stop to it.

[TeamProg]

27. Conservatives have been wrong at every corner in history. n/t

[SayItLoud]

28. One would think every Dem candidate would use this in ads and debates. But no. NT

[Iggo]

29. Kick.

[Wounded Bear]

31. K & R...nt

[YoshidaYui]

[carpetbagger]

I didn't go through all the bills, but the first one )EOCA) passed with big bipartisan majorities.

[Blue Owl]

42. And yet, there MTG, Boebert, Collins, Palin, et. al, are....
