Kamala underperformed Biden by 4% among women, primarily college educated women, the sole cohort their shitty woke anti-Bernie bro strategy of the last 4 years was supposed to win over in numbers that warranted losing all men. Physician heal thyself.

Some companies and government agencies have offered incentives for parents: one conglomerate gives employees who have three or more children a free car, and another constructing group has spent $5m on $75,000 cash bonuses to workers who have babies.

Fucking idiots

Just an FYI, for better education. 4B = bisekseu, bichulsan, biyeonae and bihon. For context of the Korean meaning, romanized for pronunciation. no sex with men 비섹스, no giving birth 비출산, no dating men 비연애, and no marriage with men 비혼.

Thank you, had no idea what it meant and didn't have enough initiative to go look.

Well, I guess maga chuds can always just fall back on good ole reliable porn... ooohhh sorry dipshits, you banned that too.

The male maga chuds will just sleep with female maga chuds. This isn’t going to really accomplish anything except for liberals not getting laid or procreating.

[–] Sweetpeaches69@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

I take solace in knowing that all the female maga chuds I know are hideous wildebeasts, bloated and putrid. Them and maga men are a match made in heaven.

Isn’t this how the movie idiocracy started?

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

Except there aren't that many of those female maga chuds. That's why they're so keen on taking away womens' rights. The only way they can get laid is if the women have no choice.

Not sure where you are getting that idea. Almost half of the Latinos and whites who voted for Trump in 2024 were women.

There's more than you think. My workplace has tons of them.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

Yeah it’s certainly not the majority of women and I would say it’s at best a 2:1 ratio. But there are many maga women in the dept of the fortune 20 company I work for

Didn't we see the Maga dating apps be flooded with dudes and barely any women?

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 6 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

I have no facts to back up this claim:

Isn't that every dating app? Mostly men and bots?

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

It is now, kinda unrelated but AI really killed all the dating apps. There were always bots and scammers but I was always able to meet women, without subscribing, over a period of like 8 years using them off and on in between relationships. These days even if I payed their bullshit fees all I get are scams

American women should absolutely say it out loud, "If you voted for Trump, no pussy." I saw that stated (low-key) when I was dating a few years back. Their profiles either said, "Don't care about politics.", which translates as, "Fuck off with your Trump shit." Or, outright said, no MAGA, in those words.

[–] randomaside@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

ALL women need to go on general strike. Not just if you voted for Trump, for everyone. Hard-line for "no freedom? no work, no sex, no labor". Watch the economy cripple at the greatest union in history. Watch political organizations form behind women because they've been denied access to what women provide.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago

ALL women need to go on general strike.

It worked in Iceland

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

The February Revolution was not the result of the vanguardists successfully organizing and executing a revolt, but of many groups doing decades of groundwork laying before a bunch of women marching together on international women’s day and it going from a protest to the overthrow of the czarist regime.

That said the groundwork of today is to appeal to the disaffected worker class

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 24 points 22 hours ago

I saw both types on tinder when I was using it a few years ago. Some would say “no MAGA” and some would say “no libs.”

I suspect religious indoctrination to be the main factor as this was UT and AZ but there are more women out there willing to vote for their own objectification and yoke than I think we assume.

Fun history fact, this is also called Lysistratic nonaction after a play by Aristophanes and has been seen in both myth and recorded history for a variety of purposes, usually to end wars or other violence, but also often to protest the infringement of women's rights.

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 33 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Like the old adage goes, “there’s always a relevant Aristophanes play”

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 24 points 22 hours ago

Man doing xkcd millennial before xkcd.

[–] modeler@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

I'd love the pigeons shitting all over Trump and his cavalcade for the next 4 years, but look at me, living in cloud cuckoo land...

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Threads about this are great for adding folks to my block list

"Don't talk about politics on the first date" used to be a thing but now even as a man I think I would need to know someone's political views in detail before a second date. It's not enough to just vote for the same candidate. Plenty of people who despise each other's ideology voted for Harris. I'm even afraid to talk to some old friends about politics. I know they're Democrats but it's still possible for one of us to say something that would seriously damage the friendship.

It's like being Goldilocks. This one is too far right, that one is too far left...

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

That’s so weird, like my ex accidentally found herself on a date with a neonazi once. Sure, politics were once a minor conflict for most people, but even then it’s not like there weren’t communists in the 90s.

The first date should be “do we mesh, and are we compatible”

And yeah, I’m so grateful my teenage friends wound up with similar politics to me. A bunch of white kids from the Ohio suburbs and we all wound up some variety of socialists as 30 year olds.

If i used tinder, or the like, the first line would be “if you ever voted for trump, swipe (whatever way is bad)”

[–] babybus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

On a side note, why do people swipe? I always find that pressing either button is more convenient.

[–] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 1 points 12 hours ago

My phone always ran the site too slowly to swipe, I have no idea which direction was which.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 58 points 1 day ago

For now, McKenna isn’t sure exactly what 4B will look like to her in the election’s aftermath. She wants to do more research on the community. She’s not swearing off sex for ever, or taking a vow of celibacy. “Now when I go out with my girlfriends meeting people, instead of mingling to find a date, I’m going to mingle to get change,” she said. “When men come on to me, I’m just gonna push back.”

Good on them!

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 0 points 8 hours ago

Trump is turning the women gay? Wut.

[–] Grainne@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 1 day ago

Good on them. Hopefully the blue balls hurt.
