    kinda blows my mind sometimes when i think about how many white women are vocally/outspoken conservative, as though the hardened core of the movement wouldn't Handmaid's Tale them all in a heartbeat if they could.

      Cut to the scene in that one documentary where Lauren Southern is getting sexually harassed by Gavin McInnes, like gee I wonder if there's a global movement by women for women that seeks to address exactly that sort of thing.

      I think it's a combination of:

      1. Most people generally not thinking through the implications of their political beliefs,
      2. A lot of those "beliefs" being more aesthetic/cultural choices than stuff they're deeply invested in,
      3. How easy it is to call for radical changes when the odds of those changes touching your life are minimal, and
      4. Some understanding that -- as a huge right-wing constituency -- really fucking them over would be difficult.
