It’s enough to make Jesus proud |
I am apoplectic -in women’s history month, the day before international women’s day, as the republicans stole women’s rights to their own bodies, they put up this cartoon character of a woman in her kitchen talking about her Huzzzzzband? While she is in fact a lawyer, disgusting |
Apparently no one ever uses that kitchen

No, we are ridiculing the people who claim they are living and valuing the “trad wife” lifestyle, when they are actually making tons of money and wielding enormous power holding traditional jobs that leave little time for actual child rearing and actual homemaking. All those trad wife influencers- who is watching the kids and doing the chores while they spend 8+ hours a day prepping, posting, and amplifying their content? It may look informal and casual, but anyone who’s worked in media knows that it’s anything but. It’s a JOB, just like any other. Who is watching Katie’s kids while she does the hard work of being a Senator? Who cleans her toilets and makes food in her kitchen? If it’s so important, why isn’t she doing it? Again, I’m not disparaging anyone’s choices. I’m ridiculing the duplicity. She could be voting to help working moms, which she is. Instead she’s cosplaying at “having it all”. |
I am DCUM and I live in what you dismissively call “flyover.” I did not love her bizarre Mrs. Trump audition. |
And trying to prevent other women from working outside the house at all. -SAHM |
They look like ghosts boringly haunting a house that's about to be sold |
Because those places are dominated by moronic mouth breathing idiots with high school educations or AA’s, whereas DCUM is among the best and brightest and most highly educated people in the country. It’s no mystery why she and her ilk are held in such low regard here. |
I didn’t say it was provocative, I said it was more cleavage than politicians usually show at work. Just admit you’re wrong. |
What in the stepford wife heck was that? |
“Katie Britt is just the latest in a long line of Republican women who aren’t stay-at-home mothers but play them on TV. Sarah Palin called herself “just an average hockey mom” when in fact she had been a career politician since her 20s. Phyllis Schlafly claimed her place was in the kitchen when she actually spent the entire 1970s traveling the country to defeat the ERA. I encourage all women who want to pursue their political ambitions to do so. But pretending that you spend every night around the kitchen table is an insult to the millions of women who do the hard (and unpaid) work of stay-at-home parenting, and it’s as phony an act as Reagan chopping wood at the ranch.” - Andy Borowitz |
And they spent more than a lifetime ridiculing Hillary Clinton for her cookies comment. When Hillary was asked about Brown's comment, she responded: "I suppose I could have stayed home, baked cookies, and had teas." The remark outraged many voters, who perceived it as a knock against stay-at-home wives and moms. Not surprisingly, the full quote was not reported. After mentioning cookies, Hillary went on to say, "The work that I have done as a professional, a public advocate, has been aimed . . . to assure that women can make the choices whether it's full-time career, full-time motherhood, or some combination." Despite her efforts for accepting all women, the damage was done. |
was this sarcasm? |
Ok, I finally went and watched it and woah. SUPER weird. Def. Serena Joy vibes. |
I didn't understand her logic about the woman who was trafficked by the cartels. Was she an asylum seeker? Was she a trafficking victim who had been smuggled into the US and then rescued by law enforcement or escaped? Was she a citizen?
I know that one problem with immigration is how poorly people understand the history or the implementation of immigration policies. I do think more open legal immigration would be good, I think for people who want to obtain permanent residency we should allow them to travel to and from the US without jeopardizing their chance at permanent status and even citizenship. Regarding asylum, we have to keep the laws that compel us to consider asylum requests, and for that reason we need the resources to expedite it. It's like these people want to do a War on Drugs approach to undocumented immigration and we saw how well that worked. |
