It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
The internetification and coquettification of the Schlafly mentality has ceased to even surprise me.
What do you mean by "Schlafly mentality?" I'm not really well-read on the history there.
She was one of the leading opposition to the equal rights amendment.
I gathered as much from the Wikipedia page, but I was curious about the "mentality" being talked about, the psychological aspect, since Wikipedia mostly just discusses basic facts and events.
Not speaking for theposterformerly, but I think they’re talking about the paradoxical nature of Schlafly advocating for a lifestyle she herself was not living. Right wing tradwife grifters making a professional career out of telling women they shouldn’t have professional careers.
The idea that just kind of being stuck playing life support system is actively appealing and glamorous, I think.
