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.”

 

 

 

Episode 2: Florida’s First War on Woke

EPISODE SUMMARY
Long before Governor Ron DeSantis declared a new war on wokeness, Florida lawmakers in the 1950s and 60s tried going after the NAACP, suspected communists and gay people in Florida schools and universities. The lawmakers upended life for countless numbers of their fellow Floridians before being upended themselves by their own zeal for the cause. Now that DeSantis is bringing this playbook to a presidential campaign, Rachel Maddow and Isaac-Davy Aronson ask what we can learn from the last time Florida went down this path.

For those that are hearing impaired or prefer to read instead of listen, the transcript is here.

THE COMMITTEE

The Committee is a documentary film about the little-known Florida Legislative Investigative Committee of the State Legislature from 1956-1965. Florida Senator Charley Johns chaired the committee, and its aim was to root out communist and homosexual teachers and students from state universities. It was successful in either firing or expelling more than 200 suspected gay and lesbian citizens.

I wish I could post this short video.   It is what DeathSantis is trying to recreate today in Florida and if he gets the presidency he will push this hard on the entire country.    Hugs

Knowles: “Ban Evil Pride Flags From All Public Spaces”

So this morons only shtick is to push hate and fear.   Yes that is the standard operating mode of the right now.  But this guy is riding high with his almost non-stop attacks on the LGBTQ+.  Just like Matt Walsh it is all he has to have someone notice him.   It is always the other that is the fault or reason things are bad with these people.   But the guy is a flat out liar but it won’t matter as all his followers want to hear is the hate.   He claims that it is illegal to fly Nazi flags, “We ban all sorts of flags from public spaces – Nazi flags … “  Hugs

We ban all sorts of flags from public spaces – Nazi flags, hammer and sickle flags.

You might want to let Florida know.

Yes, I don’t know where any flags are banned in public spaces. He must be living in an alternate reality,

Also, Christians have a flag. So if he is saying that no one is a real American unless they only fly the American flag, he forgets those people, and all the people who fly the ‘don’t tread on me’ flag, university flags, etc

I drive by countless frontyard flag poles where they are flying a Trump flag instead of the American one. It’s their property and they can fly whatever they want, but it’s definitely not the American flag. Of course when Republicans do it it’s okay.

our planet is literally on fire in so many ways, and morons like this are worried about flags? air-quality high alert (dangerous levels) for us here today. visibility is wayyy down….looks like a ground fog. my nose has been dripping all morning, GAH! first time i have seen noaa use ‘smoke’ in our forecast. looks like afternoon garden projects are on hold. again.

“But is it more extreme than turning Christmas day into Christmas week into Christmas month into Christmas season into — left unchecked, I promise you — Christmas always.”

Only difference between my quote and his is that the ever-expanding Christmas season really seems to be a thing… yet folks like him always talk up a “War on Christmas” as if it’s the thing under assault and bringing death threats to employees and such.

ABSTINENCE-ONLY?! Sex Education USA vs. Germany | Feli from Germany

WHAT’S UP WITH AMERICANS AND NUDITY? | Feli from Germany

Compare news coverage from around the world and across the political spectrum with Ground News: https://ground.news/feli ▸”Florida principal forced to resign after showing students Michelangelo’s ‘David’ statue” or “Parents Complain About ‘Pornographic’ David Statue” 👈 These types of headlines went around the world a couple months ago and left many people in Italy and other countries utterly confused. What’s wrong with the David Statue? How could anyone think this is p*rn? So let’s talk about how nudity is handled in everyday situations in the US compared to Germany, and why it seems to be such a big taboo topic in the US!

77% were girls as young as 12, married to much older men.

The one’s fighting to keep this is fundamentalist religious republicans.   Each state that has tried to raise the age has had it fought by religious groups and voted down by republicans.   Ask why if their aim to remove LGBTQ+ books / media to protect the children and claiming pride flags sexualizes kids, yet they fight to keep preteen girls being legally raped by older men!  The truth is these people just want to remove any non-heterosexual thinking from society and push straight heterosexual thinking on everyone, especially the kids.   Hugs
