seeing a lot of posts saying…

'get your IUD now'
'stock up on Plan B'
'here's where to find mifepristone'

but nowhere have i seen posts saying…

'seriously consider getting a vasectomy [so you can potentially avert the risk to someone's life or livelihood]'

as someone that's had one, there's usually a 3 month waiting period so you have time to think it over. when you go in for the procedure, it takes about an hour—half of it filling paperwork out, changing into a gown, and waiting for the surgeon. recovery took me about a day to feel 70% normal, then roughly a week to get back to 100%. there are typically no obvious signs there's been an incision since the way the procedure is done is so minimally invasive and there's zero impact to sexual or urinary function.

at this point, taking it upon yourself to get a vasectomy and talking openly about it is direct action, or at least adjacent

(continued from /10) "that the women’s only place is in making babies to replace the race essentially; that they shouldn’t have a voice within the white supremacist community; and that feminism itself is part of the problem and part of the reason why this 'great replacement theory' is working."

"One of the really interesting things in the research that I’ve done on the neo-Nazi community, white supremacist community, is the way that they linked anti-feminism to their neo-Nazi and white supremacist ideals. If you go back to Daily Stormer in 2014, 2015, they’re saying arguments about anti-feminism as being essential to understanding white supremacy;" (continued in /11)

"There’s a really smart researcher on authoritarianism, Karen Stenner, and she had retweeted that—what she said was, Pay attention to how he says the word women. And if you listen to it, it’s really interesting because of so much visceral anger and hatred just dripping off of his tongue as he says the word women. That’s very indicative of Trump’s approach to women in general."

"Despite best practices, despite all of the consultants opinions, Donald Trump is fearlessly being misogynistic. I don’t know if that message is going to convince any women to vote for him, but it certainly will resonate with men."

“'It’s really hard to know that there are men out there who want to vote against reproductive rights, even though they shouldn’t have a say in it at all,' Casey, who voted for Harris, said. She doesn’t think she could date someone who doesn’t share her views again. 'As a political science major, I made a decision that I don’t want to put myself in that position.'”

"The media have obsessed over Black people and Latinos turned off by Harris and various other #Demsindisarray narratives. The enthusiasm of women for Harris is a storyline that has been entirely unexplored."

~ Michael Tomasky

Hmm. Wonder why that would be? What is it about the media (and who owns and controls the media?) that would cause the media to ignore this? (/s)

"THE 'GENDER GAP' MATH IS UNDER-APPRECIATED in coverage of the race. More women will likely show up to vote than they did in 2020, and they will be supporting Harris more than they did Biden four years ago. Trump may be making gains with men. But he’s going to have to turn out a lot more of them if he wants to keep up."

Yes, Texas’s abortion laws are killing women. @ProPublica reports on another case — 18-year-old Neveah Crain, who was diagnosed with sepsis but sent home because her six-month fetus had a heartbeat, and on a subsequent visit, had delayed care because the obstetrician insisted on two ultrasounds to “confirm fetal demise.” She died hours later. She and her mother, Candace Fails are both devout anti-abortion Christians, but supported it in the event of life-threatening illness. “I know it sounds selfish, and God knows I would rather have both of them, but if I had to choose,” Fails said, “I would have chosen my daughter.”

A Pregnant Teenager Died After Trying to Get Care in Three Visits to #Texas Emergency Rooms

It took three ER visits and 20 hours before a #hospital admitted Nevaeh Crain, 18, as her condition worsened.

Doctors insisted on two ultrasounds to confirm “fetal demise.”

She’s one of at least two Texas women who died under the state’s #abortion ban.

"Because what Trump has to offer men is permission to hate women. Those women.

And the terms of that hate are not 'Women are taking away our precious cultural ideas about manhood!'. It’s pretty much 'Women are taking our jobs and our social power, women are doing better at most of what we have done, women are—without any malice or plan—unveiling the many cases where men have risen to the top on nothing more than mediocrity & a pair of testicles.'"

"So many of the feeder streams into Trumpism well up from springs of reaction to changes in the status of women. Dobbs has made it plain that anti-abortion sentiment is primarily about control of women. Its supporters are indifferent to women dying, women risking death, women enduring pregnancy after rape."

"FOX News has been losing their collective minds over the ad [by at Vote Common Good telling women they have a right to vote for whom they choose without their husbands instructing them] — accusing Harris of encouraging women to lie to their spouses and equating the wives who vote for Harris with those who commit adultery."

"In the last two days, you may have noticed a strange uptick in right-wing commentators talking about Harris’s 'attack' on the 'sanctity of marriage.' There’s been a bit of a buzz about conservative white women voting for Harris secretly — breaking with their faith communities and perhaps even their husbands to cast a vote against Donald Trump."

"Donald Trump, mind you, has been found civilly responsible for rape. He has been accused by multiple women of rape (including his ex-wife Ivana), of sexual assault, of groping. He has bragged about grabbing women by the pussy without asking. He has bragged about being the reason Dobbs was overturned. Because he is the reason Dobbs was overturned."

Obeidallah focuses on what happened recently in Neptune, Florida, where a group of teens waving Trump flags gathered at an early voting site to harrass voters, with one teen, Caleb James Williams, pulling out a machete and brandishing it at two female voters.

And in South Carolina, a man has just verbally assaulted Black women working at the polls.

"This week we have seen two deeply alarming incidents of violence, threats and abuse directed by Donald Trump’s male supporters against women at polling locations. And tragically this will likely not be the last given a core theme of Trump’s “bro vote” strategy has been amplifying sexism and misogyny—as we saw again at his rallies this week."

"Jesse Watters said that he would consider his wife voting for Kamala Harris the same as if she was having an extramarital affair.

The Fox News co-host told panelists on The Five that if he discovered second wife, Emma DiGiovine, was secretly backing the vice president, it would be 'D-Day' for their marriage."

As Sean Craig reports, MAGA bros are freaking out because so many women are voting.

"Two of former president Donald Trump’s most prominent backers in the right wing influencer sphere [Mike Cernovich and Charlie Kirk] fretted Wednesday after early votingnumbers showed massive early turnout among women that could imperil their candidate’s path to victory."

She'd told her husband that the medical team said it couldn't act until the fetal heartbeat stopped.

Via Rupar:

O'DONNELL: When you argue that Donald #Trump if elected would put forward a national #abortion ban

KAMALA #HARRIS: Just read #Project2025.

O'DONNELL: The former president said that's not true--

HARRIS: He says everything. C'mon. Are we really taking his word for it?
