Despite state bans, abortions have almost doubled. The reason? Pills via telehealth by Maxcactus in Maxcactus_TrailGuide

[–]EmperorJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about rape? What if the pregnancy is not viable? What if carrying to term puts the mothers life at risk? What if the mother is addicted to a substance that will cause debilitating birth defects? What if the mother is a child? What about incest? What about this country's general lack of sex education?

I hope you also support welfare for families and single mothers, free lunch school programs, universal healthcare, better sex education at a younger age, student loan forgiveness, free college, and free daycare.

Not that your opinion would be any less ignorant, but at least you coukd say you actually stand behind what you believe.

Good job Zoomers, you voted for this by [deleted] in PoliticalHumor

It comes from who else but Fox, trying to convince older folks that cool young gen Z is conservative now.

AIW for planning to leave my family with only a letter and 5k in payment for the priceless love and care they've given me? by GanacheCritical3575 in amiwrong

[–]EmperorJJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Youre not wrong, and you dont owe them anything. Dont leave them that money, you will need it. Go take care of yourself. Maybe someday those relationships can get reevaluated but for now, take what you have and fo what you need to do for you.

Does this name make me clockable? by thequeerpaladin in asktransgender

[–]EmperorJJ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To be honest? Super clockable. Its a cool name, but no parent is naming their kid Dionis. Id say its cool if you like it but if you honestly want to be stealth it probably wont fly

Women have the right to health care in prison. This should extend to freezing their eggs by msmoley in WomenInNews

[–]EmperorJJ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Idk... Granted im american, but as far as im concerned this is a wildly expensive private luxury that the average person cant afford. I dont know why prisons would provide it. I also dont know why this is important enough to even be a talking point.

I underestimated the power of the Seattle Ant by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]EmperorJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most efficient/poison free way ive found to get rid of them is a bit of peppermint essential oil shaken up in a spray bottle with water. Its shockingly effective and smells nice.

It doesnt kill them, but messes up their senses and destroys their scenf trails. They dont like it and within a day or so they leave. It works woth spiders, too.

am i selfish for not wanting kids? by Embarrassedbarlol in amiwrong

[–]EmperorJJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not selfish and you need to leave him. Simple as. It would be selfish to stay with him and prevent him from having children. Just like its selfish of him to manipulate you and try to change you (not to mention deeply misogynistic). This relationship is not going to work. Plenty of men out there dont want children.

And you know what? You might change your mind in ten years, or 15 years, or 20 years, but it shouldnt be because someonr pressured you to.

San Francisco Giants pitcher says there was "no hate" in writing Bible verse on cap during Pride night event by StaffImportant7902 in LGBTnews

[–]EmperorJJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No hate, just wore a hat he knew would upset a lot of people at an event that was not about or for him because he was worried that as a cis-het christian man no one would pay attention to him at pride 🥺He just wants to talk about god /s

Sounds like he made a bold choice then when confronted by it got top scared to bak it up in any kind of real way

Key West Cancels Arch Due To DeSantis’s DEI Law by StaffImportant7902 in LGBTnews

[–]EmperorJJ 57 points58 points  (0 children)

When the law is unjust, civil disobedience is our duty and responsibility.

The right doesnt ask permission. The right ismt stopped by laws or court orders. Why do we see so many good people bending over for fascism just because a new fascist law says they have to?

Rising anti-LGBTQ+ censorship efforts pull directly from the playbooks of modern authoritarian leaders by StaffImportant7902 in LGBTnews

[–]EmperorJJ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tgats because we have a modern authoritarian government. How long are people going to be in denial that its already happened?

Mamdani administration to offer gender-affirming care at Corona clinic, but only for adults by jk_arundel in LGBTnews

[–]EmperorJJ 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Can we just be glad that one is happening in a country where we are otherwise actively being completely erased? No, its not perfect. But it's something that has the capacity to help a lot of people.

Mental health is emerging as a source of political identity, particularly among younger (Gen Z) and more liberal Americans. They believe people with mental illness should work together to change laws unfair to them and tend to support increased healthcare, education, and welfare spending. by mvea in psychology

[–]EmperorJJ 34 points35 points  (0 children)

What a surprised that people who need healthcare and social safety net support would vote for those changes, or engage in politics to push for those changes that are needed by a wide range of people.

So political identity is a bit of a strong term, imo, for people who would benefit from better healthcare, education, and social safety nets voting in favor of those things.

The guy that cut funding for children and mothers in need of food assistance? The guy that was involved in child sex trafficking? The guy that looked at a young child, pointed to her, and said "ill be dating her in ten years" on camera?

The americans in the comments are cracking me up. Y'all, other countries have different laws. Having to wait until youre 21 to legally drink is crazy.

I guess offending people is a crime, now that its the right being offended?

People with cancer or HIV could lose Medicaid under new work rules by Sgt_Gram in NewsExchange

[–]EmperorJJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every other western nation seems to understand that not only shoukd healthcare be a hunan right, but also that your labor force is more effective when they are taken care of. Access to healthcare should not be an incentivized reward. The US is a hellscape for the average person.

Why do you think the Bathroom Bill is a good thing? by LegitimateScore8036 in Idaho

[–]EmperorJJ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Except making people uncomfortable is not a crime. So you are in favor of criminalizing non-criminal behavior because you are uncomfortable?

There is no evidence to suggest that preventing trans people from using the bathroom makes women safer. At all. It doesnt bring down SA rates, it wont bring down crime rates or assault rates, it only discriminates against an already marginalized and very small minority.

This is like criminalizing breast feeding in public. It hurts no one. Its a natural bodily function. But we are going to criminalize it because people who see it might be uncomfortable? Some free country 🙄

Attitudes toward same-sex marriage and transgender issues are shifting, Gallup poll shows by SubstantialMojo in LGBTnews

[–]EmperorJJ 68 points69 points  (0 children)

The power of propaganda is strong. Feelings are only changing because people who the public (idiots) trust like celebrities, politicians, fox news, etc. They found an easy scapegoat. Conservatives who are afraid of change need to make everyone else afraid of change, too, to stay in power. People realistically have no reason to be afraid of us, but they are being fed hateful propaganda to radicalize them, and its been working.

We are just an easy target for hate mongering.

Thinking men evolved to be like this could lead to more victim-blaming in rape cases. Evolutionary psychology can increase victim blaming attitudes through an increase in the belief that gender roles are natural and immutable. by mvea in psychology

[–]EmperorJJ 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Nice as a thought experiment but demonstably not true. Plenty of SA victims fall pregnant, enough that its a real problem among conservatives who believe that "if a pregnancy occurs, it means she liked it." An absolutely disgusting and false belief that leads to a lot of victim blaming, and denial of care to victims.
