    That assumes you had any good faith in the first place. Women’s rights are being revoked and this is their response. And all you can do is cry about it. It’s very pathetic.

      If I lived in America I’d be voting for the Democrats and for abortion rights every time, I’m just pointing out that this is an absolutely ineffective way to address the issue or change anyone’s mind.

      Do you ever wonder if this kind of interaction is part of the reason the democrats aren’t doing very well? It seems quite obvious from the outside that it’s part of the problem.

        Voting Dem and Choice is a start. But while there are these extreme levels of misogyny in the world, we’ve all got a lot of work to do. Best plan is to stop whining and get on with it.

      I find it often pays to assume people are acting in good faith and explain things to them patiently rather than simply assuming anyone who disagrees with you is a troll.

        They’re literally complaining about women’s choice to do with their sexuality as they choose. There is no good faith there to begin with, which is incredibly clear.
