And to think that this was the first election when she was even of age to vote…
First election when she was of age to vote?
She got a husband at 18?
Could have been 17 at the last election, that’d stretch it to 21 maybe.
I wish God was real so it could be ashamed of what it’s created.
Sure. I do prefer Sam Keith’s Epicurus though.
The irony is that neither she nor her husband are even Christians. They larp as Christians for show. He enjoys being rich and she enjoys being a kept woman - this whole conservative Christian shtick is just right up their alley image wise.
Don’t ya just hate it when people make their harmful kink both their entire personality, and a problem for your fundamental rights? It feels weird to say it. But that’s basically what this performative Christian schtick is for people like this. They get off in it so now it’s all of our problem.
I refuse to believe anyone is this stupid.
I have a friend whose sister was like this, but Eastern European. The man makes all the decisions and women are baby makers and dishwashers.
A couple years after the quick marriage she hates being married, him, but doesn’t want to leave because of her values so she’s incredibly depressed.
man that’s so sad. how far the amazonians who scared the romans shitless have fallen when even eastern european women are trad-wifin’ it. and what’s sad is that the way she gave up her dignity is she was convinced since birth by people who were convinced since birth that she had no dignity in the first place. it’s possible to cherish your children and to take joy in home tasks without treating it like its your only value
I’ve met these women. They aren’t stupid, per se. They don’t want to “think”. They just want to live their simple life, doing whatever their husband or kids want.
They don’t want to think about the world. Just their world.
But think about this for a second.
It’s the conservative mindset: “The world doesn’t affect ME so why should I care? I’m not being oppressed so everything is fine!”
I’ve met these women. They aren’t stupid, per se. They don’t want to “think”. They just want to live their simple life, doing whatever their husband or kids want
And they can, but they want everyone else to live like that as well
It’s a situation where it’s a combination of “it works for me so this is how it should be for everyone” and “the world would be so much better if everyone acted this way”.
On the surface it makes sense.
But it’s almost passive aggressive oppression.
They don’t just want to choose not to think, because then they might have pangs of regret from making that choice. They want others to tell them that women aren’t allowed to think, so that it’s no longer their decision, and so it can’t be their fault if it’s a bad one.
This is it. Conservatives are predominantly people with little to no empathy. That’s why they change their tune the moment things affect them.
In the kindest most agreeing way: No. Shit.
Can you blame them?
Living in an isolated idyllic little world where it’s just you and the people you love supporting each other sounds fucking DOPE.
Give me that solarpunk cottagecore life any day, every day, all day.
I’m aware that’s a fantasy, but if someone told me there was a sliver of a chance, the impulse control center of my brain would shut down for long enough to be dangerous.
They’re also brainwashed by the “Christian” patriarchal model. Which is literally “do what your husband tells you” and “don’t listen to outside opinions, just think and do what the church tells you.” The whole stupid thing is engineered to reinforce authoritarianism.
Oh my god, that’s what I want too. I would love to have a garden and a nice kitchen and just concentrate on my little world. I’m just not selfish enough to fully abandon everything that’s not in my little bubble.
The wanting isn’t the problem, doing it with no thought for anyone else is.
The burdens of adult life weigh heavily on me, but I would never give up my freedom of choice to avoid them. I have enough trouble living with myself as it is, without losing that last bit of self-respect.
I would argue that this sort of nonsense DOES make them stupid.
I don’t.
I mean, if this is your thinking logic, maybe she shouldn’t vote indeed
Her husband is voting for her, with her own ballot. That is, he is voting twice. We shouldn’t encourage this.
One of the negatives of mail on voting that people don’t want to acknowledge. (Because mail in voting good, and everything must be black and white.)
If he is filling out her mail-in ballot, then when she signs it, it should indicate that she’s voting with her own free will, under penalty of perjury and ballot fraud.
Later, if it’s determined that he coerced her into signing a ballot that he filled out, he can be charged with fraud, and she can be charged with perjury.
And then prosecute every single instance of it. The real problem in America is that too many people think that everything is legal unless they arrest you for it. It is the core philosophy of MAGA.
100%. This is the true “voter fraud” if there is any. Voting for parents, voting for significant others, voting for kids, but doing so on a mail in ballot and usually with their approval.
(I have to admit that I do this with my wife. She says “just fill it out and I’ll sign and turn it in”, so I do. But this could easily be done with coercion also.)
I’m sure you mean that you tell her each marking to fill in and watch her do it. Nearly the same thing. Just clarifying the words you’ve put on the Internet for everyone to see. The words that can be traced back to you if convenient.
That’s a good point. I don’t think it makes a difference in this particular situation because she’ll vote as ordered. Having said that, there are people who would benefit from voting away from the watchful eyes of their partners.

If not fake, she should also stop having an opinion because that is not for women as per her own logic
I’m simply fucking baffled how they think their opinion matters in any fucking way, when they advocate for christofascism. They want every other woman to be breeding cattle, but expect themselves to be allowed opinions? Fuck outta here.
To be fair, if they actually had an opinion of their own I doubt they would say shit like this. This is just mindless repetition of the misogynist crap the men around them have fed them. Zero critical thought.
Thats a man babe.
Well until they actually repeal women’s suffrage this actually works in our favor weirdly enough. You’d think they’d be pushing their wives and daughters to vote, or to get to vote for them. How long til they propose family voting where they can “vote” for their kids.
Unfortunately, the “voting for your kids” idea is already in their heads.
I get more disappointed every day
If she wants to be a mindless sheep all power to her I suppose
Lmao, the irony in that statement.
Probs you want to go back to your « conservative » safe spaces
You gotta love that she was convinced not to vote. You would think why waste an extra vote for your guy? Then I realized it’s because they will never fully believe a word she says, and instead of risking her voting for the other side, they feel more comfortable just having her silenced.
And to think that this was the first election when she was even of age to vote…
So she sounds very young and very naive… I don’t want to jump to conclusions or make too many assumptions. But it may be a blessing that she is self-aware that she isn’t politically proficient.
I don’t think she represents all, or even most, women, also.
Married at 18…oof. This person’s gonna be in for some trying times.
She had a husband when she was 18?
She turned 21 this February. She married a 39-year-old when she was 18, whom she’d been dating since 16… Georgia life.🍑
Were your parents the least bit concerned?
Least bit concerned? They set it up in the first place. Our dad and her husband are long time golf bros.
I know three girls who have “arranged marriages” too. It’s surprisingly common in the US.
This wasn’t exactly an “arranged marriage”, but yeah I agree with the rest.
That is upsetting 😔
That’s fucking creepy dude
Is this you? https://youtu.be/DhC1o_yc5GA
j/k, but eerily similar situation. Make sure your sister doesn’t feel trapped if she needs to get out someday.
I fucking hate these videos. Why are they always playing what looks like an old windows xp screensaver? I fucking hate the robotic voice. These are somehow even worse than those shitty upworthy links that just screenshot a Reddit thread one paragraph at a time with ads between each.
Dating a 16 year old at 37… I’m 38, and that repulses me deeply. They are kids.
I’m 33 and just taught my first real class at a university. The students are 19-21, and the first thought I had was that they were all babies. They’re not really, and they deserve all the rights that adults are entitled to, but they’re not dateable for me.
I get that as an instructor there’s another layer of responsibility between us, but they don’t even look fully grown to me
I work in schools. The smell of a high school hallway is so repulsive. I don’t even understand how they date each other.
Just gotta have reading hormones. Everything smells better that way
Thank you!
I always tell my wife, I couldn’t even switch to a younger girlfriend, just because of the smell
Don’t know what’s up with that, but can’t stand the smell of schools either…
I’m 35 and my daughter is 15. When I’ll be 37, 16-year-olds will litterally be younger than my actual kid. This is all kinds of fucked up.
You need the power of GOP in your life
Pretty sure if I voiced views like repelling the 19th Ammendment to my wife, she would slip estrogen into everything I ate or drank.
Hard to do that while rocking a C-cup.
I support equal rights can she please slip estrogen into my food anyway :3
(For very cis reasons ofc)
Nah you want them to inject you in your sleep…
For cis reasons obv
Congrats on her being pathetic, I guess.
That is simply awful to read.
Can’t imagine her thoughts on equality
You don’t need to imagine. She’s telling you. She’s against it.
