From the conservative women I know, it’s because they don’t think these Draconian laws will ever apply to them…which is just characteristic of them.
They don’t think abortion should be legal because they can control their own sexual activities. If women (i.e. slutty liberals) want to have sex then they should be punished blessed with a child.
Women conservatives are just conservatives. They don’t think the law will apply to them.
I get your point, but let’s not imply that it’s only women’s job to vote Republicans out. Policies detrimental to women diminish and damage the whole country and that’s everyone’s responsibility.
I don’t think anyone was saying all the responsibility belongs to women. I think they were saying that women, among other targeted groups, should have extra motivation to vote these people out.
I did choose the word ‘imply’ instead of ‘say’ for a reason. And yes, implication is subjective so my comment was just my opinion. In any case, I would like to see men and all people experience that urgency and motivation just as strongly.
Ok, going back to (direct quote) misterundercoat’s statement that I was originally replying to above,
If you’re a woman and vote to put any Republican in power in this country, no matter how small or local, you must be insane.
You’re right. They neither said or implied that anyone else who voted Republican is any less insane or any less to blame.
I think I just get frustrated when people want to only go as far as labeling a voting behavior or a moral stance as insane, stupid, deluded, evil or just plain dumb… and not dig into the whole system of shit that led to the person or group behaving that way. But there’s plenty of room for both of those angles in this lovely fediverse and I shouldn’t feel any need to police such things.

…or hoping that backing/marrying a powerful man will mean the leopards won’t eat YOUR face.
Evidently, they’ll just abuse it to death rather than eating it.

Ok, but you were wrong that they were implying it. And you can’t weasle out of being wrong by saying it’s subjective.
