Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They’ll never ban condoms. This is all about controlling women, not sex.
The religious right thinks premarital sex is a sin. And they are all about imposing their views on others.
The religious right thinks YOUR premarital sex is a sin. They are totally fine with THEIR premarital/adulterous/rape sex.
A common misconception is that conservative/religious men in the lower ecclons aren't similarly oppressed.
The truth is that sweeping populations of men are controlled by the higher ups in those groups.
It's the leaders controlling "the rabble", not all the men controlling all the women.
If a peasant feels superior to his wife, he'll kick her when the master kicks him. Having women at the bottom of the pile makes it easier for the elite to maintain power.
When the woman is made to "be lesser" and the man is made to go to the church, the man is broken down all day, and he goes home to his wife who he proceeds to break down.
When "the master" kicks him, he kicks her.
I'm not saying to not stand up for the oppressed women. I'm saying encourage the women to see it and escape it.
I'm also saying 50 men tops in these circles are "higher up", and 5 of them are "top", and the other 50,000 abused and oppressed men also need to see it and escape.
It's both. Hashtag notallmen
