(5,867 posts)Since the right is losing their war on LGBT people, they're turning to women as their next target. See, they know they can't stop the LGBT progress that's steamrolling through America (and will be finalized with the SCOTUS decision this summer, I'm sure). They've mostly lost the racial wars with the Civil Rights Movement, so they know they can't revisit that, even though they've been trying all throughout Obama's presidency. Women make a convenient target for them - and I'd say their last real chance at remaining powerful. Their entitled white male patriarchy is threatened and they're desperately fighting back with all they've got. They've lost the war against the races and they're losing the war against gays. Now it's women's turn.
I think it will take a Women's Liberation Movement 2.0 to re-take what we've been losing since the 80s and since Reagan Ruined Everything.
I'm ready for it. Are you?
