Well, Fire fighter dude certainly didn’t hold back on his thoughts.
Every tweet I’ve seen about this is screaming “where’s the lie” and “he did nothing wrong”; I don’t think this news story is getting quite the reaction the media was hoping for.
We need to make it clear early on that anyone spouting this drivel is either a domestic abuse apologist or an abuser themselves. Because let us be extremely clear here: what these men miss is literal ownership of their wives. That is what they want, that is what they are aiming for. That is its own form of domestic violence, and it encourages other forms of domestic violence.
Edit: Since multiple radfems have reblogged this addition, I feel like it is fucking essential to point out that while this push is clearly and obviously coming from misogynistic cis men and primarily directed at cis women married to cis men, that domestic abusers come in all shapes, sizes, ages, assigned sexes, genders, and backgrounds. If this bullshit were to pass, it would 110% be utilized by abusive cis women to prevent their husbands from escaping them and these male survivors would have even less recourse because of how unlikely it is that they will be believed about the domestic violence they’ve endured. Domestic violence is an LGBTQ+ issue also, but I seriously doubt that if society has regressed to the point where no fault divorce has been rescinded, that same sex or perceived same sex marriages would be legal, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Any ideology that promotes the idea that men are always abusers or are the only abusers, and/or that women cannot be abusers of other humans regardless of assigned sex or gender, are ALSO abuse apologists or abusers themselves.
Anyway, I wrote this in a very truncated way that can apparently be misread by bigots and other fools, so I thought it was critical to clarify what I’m saying here.
Reblogging this for my necessary correction. Do not reblog the prior version if you happen to see it, and maybe check up on who you saw it from to make sure they’re not a terf or similar bigot that you’re inadvertently following.
Months ago I got so many excited messages about the government capping insulin for people with insurance. I know I aggravated people with my jaded response, but this is why. The insulin cap is over. Insurance or not, it’s going to cost thousands. It was all over the news with these negotiations started, pat on the back for the Republicans and Democrats. Now it’s over for us and it’s silent. We are going to keep dying and we are going to continue to watch each other die. Our blood is on their hands.
What’s beyond cruel here is insulin is incredibly cheap to produce so the fact it cost thousands? Is brutal and cruel evil with only one purpose, to kill disabled people.
