Knowles: We’re Coming For The Right To Contraception

This is the same person who played a gay man hooking up with other men who now is super anti-LGBTQ+.   This guy admits men like sex and don’t want the resulting pregnancies.   But he still feels women shouldn’t have sex, that women shouldn’t like sex, or maybe he believes the old stereotype that women just don’t like sex.   He seems to be an entitled white religious guy who don’t care what harm he causes to others as long as it benefits him.    But the truth is the right is coming after contraception and no-fault divorce.    They are serious about returning to a 1950s or even 1850s mentality and public acceptance.  These people are the Christian version of the Taliban or Iranian moral police.  But women like the gays / trans are not going to give up their rights and go into hiding or being submissive just to please stupid males.   Hugs

Media Matters has the transcript:

The culture that treats sex very casually and that suggests that we have a right to sex absent the consequence of pregnancy, is going to be a culture that’s more likely to engage in abortion.

The culture that embraces radical individualism and selfishness and libertinism in one area of sexual matters is going to embrace it in another, and that’s going to result in abortion.

And furthermore, we’re all complaining about the Pride movement, and the Pride movement has become much less popular than it used to be. You’re seeing this in a drop — Gallup polling and the values survey that it gives out showed a significant drop in support for the Pride coalition in just one year.

So, a lot of people are turning on it. A lot of mothers, a lot of parents in schools — it’s how Glenn Younkin won in Virginia. It’s how Ron DeSantis won in Florida.  You go all the way back to the beginning of the sexual revolution. And you go all the way back to contraception.

There were two cases, Eisenstadt and Griswold. First was Griswold in 1965. Then Eisenstadt comes around in 1972, the year before Roe v Wade. And Griswold finds a right to condoms within a marriage.

Where is that in the Constitution? I have no idea. But some libs on the court discovered that magically in 1965. But they said, but — there is no right to condoms outside of marriage. Then seven years later, the court discovers, oh, actually, there was more invisible ink in the Constitution.

And actually, there is a right to condoms outside of marriage. Okay. Maybe you like condoms. Maybe you don’t like condoms. I don’t know where you’re gonna find that in the Constitution.

I think a lot of people are beginning to notice that the contraceptive mentality is the beginning of the Pride mentality. Because the contraceptive mentality divorces sex from the consequences of sex.

It introduces a sterile sexual ethic, which is exactly what gave us the Pride movement. There’s no distinction here. If you can’t read between the lines, the conclusion that one draws is that condoms are kind of gay. To put it as bluntly as possible. Okay?

And people are beginning to realize, okay, if I don’t like this insane, anarchistic view of sex that is totally self-centered and divorced from any ends whatsoever, well, then maybe I gotta rewind it and ask what is the point of sex?

Which is why it’s not gonna be the patriarchy that’s coming for your consequence free birth control. It’s not going to be the men.

The men, frankly, are huge supporters of — of birth control and contraception because it allows them to have consequence-free sex. It’s gonna be those conservative women. That’s who’s coming for it.

 

“Puritanism: the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.”

I’m miserable and god-dammit, you will be too!

 

“We’re not happy, ’til you’re not happy!”

Control is their goal…
Control of your body and mine.

They’ll call it “choice” or “State’s Rights” and even “freedom” and then legislate those “choices”, “Rights” and “freedoms” away.

I’ve been telling heterosexuals for years that the same people coming after us are going to be coming after them.

Here is Knowles in his gay sex scene.

They same ones who bitched about Roe for decades also bitched about “the pill”. It was obvious after Dobbs they’d continue to push as Plan-B is often described as a “contraception” medicine.

Influencers like Knowles are demagogues who prey on the fear and paranoia of people who can’t stand to see us become a country where women and people who are not white, straight or Christian are equal to them by scapegoating women and minorities so that their fans won’t pay attention to the fact that it’s not people of color, Jews, LGBTQ people or women who are screwing them, but the wealthy people who donate to the Republicans and depend on them to ensure they don’t have to pay taxes.

They want to return to the day when women were the property of their menfolk.

 

It was not until the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974 that women could get bank accounts or credit cards in their own name, without needing a husband, father, or other male relative on the account as well.

 

I know. I was raising 3 children as a single mom and couldn’t get credit to buy an A/C for our tiny apartment. In 75′ I met a female banker who understood my dilemma and helped me get a home loan in my name so we could live in decent housing.

They hate women.

And if you notice, 90% of their anti-trans animus is directed at trans women.

And 100% of their anti-drag animus is directed at men doing female drag.

The common thread in all of this is virulent misogyny.

They even want to punish monogamous women and their children for having non-monogamous husbands. The age of syphilis is ready to return.

Homophobia and transphobia are just aspects of their misogyny. I don’t know why TERFs don’t get that.

Yep. Many years ago, I read a sociological/psychological analysis about the connection of misogyny and homophobia, and it centers around the conceit that men “betray” their gender privilege by being perceived as voluntarily giving that up.

They want to re-introduce slavery, but with the rich enslaving the poor.

God told them that everybody else needed reforming.

The Handmaid’s Tale was supposed to be a cautionary tale, not a how-to. But, here we are.

Hey Knowles, it’s because of people like you that a burning hatred of religion is developing. Church attendance and belief in God is plummeting year after year. Keep pushing it and you’ll eventually see a backlash that will make life for the remaining religious practitioners very miserable for a long time.

That backlash is exactly why Talibangelicals are become more Christian nationalist: mandating their own beliefs as national policy is a very desperate attempt to keep those beliefs relevant. The thing is, this leads to imperial leakage: “The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.”

 

 

 

One thought on “Knowles: We’re Coming For The Right To Contraception

  1. He comes off as an incel and a rapist, at least to me. All the ones who talk in this fashion usually end up being harassers and rapists, even if they aren’t charged with a crime. They don’t want the responsibility, they also don’t feel women are humans.
