  26. Kremlin finds new enemies to target — Russians without kids

    More than a decade since #Russian lawmakers banned LGBTQ+ #propaganda, the #Kremlin's self-declared crusade for “traditional values” has found a new target — Russians who don’t want children.

    Russian State #Duma voted to outlaw support & promotion of “childfree propaganda,” effectively imposing fines on those who express such views.

  28. If you've not had the chance to check out my latest video; feel free to check out 'The Rise of the Childless Cat-ladies'.

    Where I critique this disturbing obsession conservatives have towards those who do not want kids.

  29. Republican vice presidential nominee JD #Vance really does love to run his mouth on podcasts.

    The latest unearthed audio has him agreeing with a conservative podcast host on what women are for once we hit #menopause:
    🔸Helping to raise children is “the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female.”
    🔸The whole purpose.

    Vance has opinions about many different kinds of women.

    🔸Those who don’t have kids are “#childless #cat #ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too”
    🔸and #lack “a direct stake in the future of the country.”

    🔸Women who care about their #work and plan their families are #suckers:
    “If your worldview tells you that it’s bad for women to become mothers but liberating for them to work 90 hours a week in a cubicle at the New York Times or Goldman Sachs, you’ve been had,”
    he tweeted after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

    🔸#Step mothers (and step parents generally), he has suggested, are 🔸not real parents.

    We have not yet heard his views on the purpose of pre-pubescent girls, but he has said that he believes 🔸even #raped and impregnated children should be forced to give birth,
    even though their circumstances are “#inconvenient
    — and Ohio, the state he represents as a US senator, has done just that,
    notoriously refusing to allow a ten-year-old rape victim to end her pregnancy
    (she had to travel out of state,
    👉at which point Republicans targeted the doctor who helped her).

  30. Go Mayor Pete. Here’s the actual quote from him regarding the pretend hillbilly’s slams on #childless people. And cats. As Walz said about THAT, big mistake. Big, big mistake.

    Per #VanityFair

    As #Buttigieg himself argued last week, #Vance’s comments were not only #insulting but patently absurd, with the transportation secretary telling Jon Stewart: “When I was deployed to #Afghanistan, I didn’t have #kids back then, but I will tell you…my commitment to this country felt pretty physical.”

  31. Another #JDVance fundraising email reads, “Our country is basically run by #childless Democrats who are miserable in their own lives & want to make the rest of the country miserable too… What I want to know is: why have we turned our country over to people who don’t have a direct stake in it?”

    #Trump #MAGA #Republicans #FarRight #extremism #MaleSupremacy #misogyny #sexism #heterosexism #ChristianEvangelism

  32. In Nov 2020, #JDVance said on a #conservative podcast that #childless Americans, especially those in the country’s “leadership class,” were “more #sociopathic” than those w/children & made the country “less mentally stable.” #Vance added that the “most #deranged” & “most #psychotic” commentators on Twitter – now X - were typically childless.

  33. #JDV in 2021: “We are effectively run in this country, via the Democrats, via corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of #childless #cat #ladies who are miserable at their own #lives and the #choices that they’ve made, and so they want to make the rest of the country #miserable too.
    And it’s just a basic fact if you look at Kamala #Harris, Buttigieg the future of the #Democrats is controlled by people without #children. And how does it make any sense that we’ve turned our #country over to those people?”
