Yes!
Itâs so sad that even this is projection, but it is, given that Republicans are adamant that however many children dying is a small price for preserving sacred rights like everyone carrying AR-15s and not getting vaccines.
whoa⌠thatâs profound, really, but youâve nailed it and that is a sad reckoning, IMO.
while it is sad to watch this slow-moving train wreck occur so publicly, iâm sorry, mr. west - but you kinda brought this on yourself
Sadly, Iâve seen it before, personally.
And as a member of the Black community, I can attest that there have always been such Black people so full of self loathing and hatred of their own existenceâŚ
Iâm not sorry; he brought it ALL on himself, and I have zero sympathy for him.
He should have used some of those billions that he used to have on mental therapy and getting better emotionally.
They really just donât like anything do they?
A bunch of sad, lonely, selfish people that yell a lot.
Iâm still stumped on where they find the time and energy to devote to trying to run everyone elseâs life. Maybe they donât sleep, either.
Yeah they probably hate sleep too. Thatâs when the Devil comes aroundâŚ
If the Mercers still have a stake, I wonder at them selling to an antisemite.
On the other hand, if they know that Parler is doomed junk, why not take Kayneâs money?
Are you talking about family Thanksgiving dinner, orâŚ
Kidding. That asexual marriage ban really makes it clear where weâre headed. Soon, even if youâre hetero and do the sex, if a wife canât produce offspring itâll be âoff with her head,â since that appears to be the main purpose of both marriage and women in the eyes of some.
Youâve literally just described why Handmaidens.
Not quite literally, since the men didnât marry the handmaidens. That was its own fucked up version of marriage.
I really want to know how they would enforce this. Do we need to report our sexual encounters? Is there a minimum number per week/month/year? âOops! We didnât do it enough! Now weâre not married anymore!â These asshats would be hilarious if they werenât so damned terrifying.
No, I mean marriage is literally sacrosanct, and babies are the purpose of marriage. Rather than executing infertile wives, theyâll just do the handmaiden thing, and any babies as a result are legally the wifeâs children itâs in the bible it must be holy.
Deliberately avoiding pregnancy, however, is the sin of Onan, and a sexless marriage can be claimed to be unconsummated, and therefore nul.
And as we all know, the sin of Onan is actually refusing to get his brotherâs widow pregnant (having sex with her and pulling out so as to âspill his seedâ rather than run the risk of conception).
Ye gods, I donât want to âlikeâ this. SighâŚ
I donât mean to get us too off topic, but what would be the logic of keeping a wife around if she canât fulfill the basic âjobâ of producing children?
I donât remember what the idea was in Atwoodâs novel, it seemed like something related to nobility or lineage or something?
Maybe Iâm just jaded, but I donât see that being the approach if we enter our own GileadâŚ
