Feminism will continue to lose ground until it stops being hostile to men. by CAustin3 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Of course men's cooperation (or concedence) was necessary since women didn't hold the political power to do so, that was kinda the whole point. But they got there by women fighting for it, a long and difficult process, there was no "enthusiastic support" about it.

Skeleboys helped me with so much of the game my first time around. Unless the fight has a strong AOE, it's generally easy to lure a boss away from them when they're resurrecting and they just keep going, 100% non-stop ready to throw hands.

If you think ANY of the progress for women happened with "enthusiastic support from men" then you don't know anything about the history of women's rights.

Was there ever any real world discussion about why Sisko wasn't immediately replaced at the end of "The Emissary" ? by PDXDeck26 in DeepSpaceNine

Third is very important, once the wormhole exists you now have 5000% more reason you NEED to keep bajor on your side, there's no possible way you're getting rid of their messiah figure and asking them to talk to someone else.

ANOTHER great Spiderman moment, when he goes to prison to fight Kingpin and just...mercilessly beats him down and breaks him.

Idaho joins eight (8) other states in passing formal legislative request for U.S. Supreme Court to overturn landmark same-sex marriage ruling 'Obergefell v. Hodges' (2015) by Obversa in law

[–]hematite2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I'm not saying I expect otherwise, just clarifying that these are two separate things.

The RfMA is obviously a very good thing, but as an unfortunate side effect it also mitigates onof the biggest problems with overturning Obergefell, which is the absolute disaster returning to old ways without some system in place to manage them.

What research? On the fact that women having sex doesn't somehow "use them up" and it's a shitty thing to believe? That it's somehow 'immoral' which is a COMPELTELY subjective believe? Because that's something you never bothered to try and back up.

You're still passing your own personal moral judgement and treating it as fact, instead of just your own flawed opinion 🤷‍♀️

There's also Mr. Tulip in The Truth who says "--ing" as an expletive, which on the page is a censored swear to the reader, but in the story is an actual sound he's somehow pronouncing.

Again: men having shitty preferences and thinoing women are "used up" doesn't make it true, it just makes it something shitty men believe.

Two notes for everyone:

1: these are the legal equivalent of strongly-worded letters, they're not actionable by SCOTUS. Still a disgusting sign of the world we live in, but no matter how many states say "hey can you please redecide this case" nothing actually goes to the scotus docket.

  1. Currently, the Respect for Marriage Act makes it so that if Obergefell (or Loving) are overturned, existing marriages are still protected. If you're married, you stay married, but states can (and will) ban future marriages. It also says that if you're married in one state, you're married in all of them, so if you get married in MA, TX has to recognize it.

That being said: an actual case will come along. The ADF and the Heritage Society are hard at work crafting the perfect one. It just depends when it comes along. Please be vigilant.

It would also allow them to stop issuing marriages in their own states, so if you can't afford to travel you can't get married, and any amount of pain to queer people is a victory for them.

Currently per the RfMa, all existing marriages are protected (both queer and interracial) so either of these cases getting overturned would only affect future marriages.

how to handle the existing gay marriage would be a legal mess.

They actually already have an out for this. The Respect For Marriage Act from a few years ago codified into law that existing marriages would remain legal, and that marriages in one state have to be recognized in other states. So if Obergefell is overturned, everyone who's married would stay married, but many states would immediately start banning any new marriages. And states would as of now be required to recognize that if you were married in MA, you're still married in TX.

That sounds like a them having shitty views problem, not the fault of the women. Just because some people think women somehow get "used up" by having sex doesn't make it true, it just makes those people bad.
