The new American Dream coming from Maga/Republicans/Christen radical right, white trash culture and politics: a white picket fence around a trailer in a gated trailer park, with a blow up swimming pool in every yard and wives calling their husbands daddy.
Any woman that votes for a Republican needs her head examined.
All I gotta say is I would not feel the least bit sorry for any puke thinking he's an "alpha male" trying to put that garbage over on my daughter. She'd deck him like a punching bag clown, except he'd be staying down.
I don't espouse violence, but that's what would happen. And I'd be as proud of her as ever.
Fascinating, why has 3/4 of the job growth during this administration gone to women?
It seems like they would be playing that up more.
at this point the sexism in this administration is so blatant a toddler could understand it:
Imagine if you showed this hypothetical child a group of blocks that consisted of 16 square blocks and eight round ones, then you sequentially removed four of the eight round blocks, said child would figure out that something was going on with the round blocks that wasn't happening to the square ones even if you didn't then replace all of the departed round blocks with square ones.
it scales, btw: I see intuitively that it must have a p-value less than 0.01 (0.0067 actually), but having taught statistics at university, not the average data consumer- we'll put that at the upper end and it would mean that practically everybody is bracketed by the toddler on one end and people of my ilk on the other.

When I think of biblical womanhood, I think of Lydia, the businesswoman with a lucrative trade in purple cloth who was a patron of the Apostle Paul in Philippi; and of Phoebe, referred to by Paul as a deacon of the early Christian church.
What they are trying to do is preposterous! The war on women of our Nation will NOT have a happy ending for any of them. Taking us back to the 1950's will NOT make things better. And in the end "The won't know what they had until it's gone." So wrong on so many levels!
Dan you have only just touched the tip of the iceberg with this one. There are many woman on Substack that could give you a few pointers on this topic, and they speak from experience. Love you, all you say is true, but falls a bit short of all that needs to be said.
This is important information. I wish everyone would read your columns, Mr. Rather, especially any easily influenced Gen Z women. Early in my career, I worked with Displaced Homemakers -- the trad wives of the 1950s/60s -- who were tossed aside in the 1980s without educations, careers, or credit histories. The State had to step in to keep them from abject poverty.
I hope that all that we accomplished in the ‘70’s for women’s rights isn’t lost. Losing abortion rights was bad enough. Losing all the rest is simply unthinkable to this old lady.
Will the men who impregnated them get arrested, too? There need to be very clear equal consequences for them. Why do they always get to go off to laugh and play?
I was told over 40 years ago that I wasn't really married because 1) I didn't have a marriage license and 2) I hadn't changed my last name.
Well, I was married legally and really because I cohabitated with my husband for 30 years, we owned property together, we filed taxes together and we referred to each other as husband and wife to everyone, publically.
My husband died in 2021 and I had a little bit of trouble collecting insurance and workman's comp, but a little trip to the IRS website and voila! I had proof of a marriage lasting 30 years.
I'm so glad I never changed my name. It would be so terrible not to be able to vote just because I followed the rules.
Thank you Dan. This topic infuriates me. As a manager in women’s healthcare with a department made up of primarily young married women in a rural area, not one of the young women want children, several seeking permanent sterilization. Why? It is NOT too many feminist rights. It is a belief that they cannot ethically bring a child into a MAGA hellscape that wishes to impoverish the family, make women unable to support or educate children or protect them in the event Dad decides he is too limited in personal freedoms to stay in his family. They have seen the trap many patients find themselves in and cant seem to weigh the happy families enough to overcome the fear. As a boomer who saw weddings and baby showers be moments of celebration it grieves my heart. Women who achieved a career and family were a source of pride and their children learned resilience and belief in themselves and family teamwork.
Do the war on men next! If you’re unable I just posted it on my feed….check it out and enjoy!

Hi: I wonder why Republican men are so afraid of women?
I was told over 40 years ago that I wasn't really married because 1) I didn't have a marriage license and 2) I hadn't changed my last name.
