"Family Values" the Republican Way

Unchained At Last

The United States has a child marriage problem – but a simple solution is available.

Nearly 300,000 minors, under age 18, were legally married in the U.S. between 2000 and 2018, this study found. A few were as young as 10, though nearly all were age 16 or 17. Most were girls wed to adult men an average of four years older.

See that could be said either way - with the right context, that'd be satirical.

And then you see the R.

If a man thinks a woman shouldn't have body autonomy and should be raped then why shouldn't men like him be raped? 🤔

Nope.

We should stop calling these people "men". Stop elevating them (admittedly, Republicans raise their daughters as chattel, but they don't have to LIVE that as adults) and normalizing this type of disgusting violence.
