I guess we’re reverting to a more MAGA centric norm of “boys will be boys” when they stalk girls. No need for the police to do anything.
I’m not suggesting things were perfect, but we have fully left the me too era for one in which Jordan Petersons theory that women are “wired” to be more subject to men, because history, and damn the actual choice women had on the matter throughout that history. As such, there will be more complacency in these matters going for(back)ward.
It's the same as it always has been. In counties and cities run by corrupt, extremely religious people - people don't get prosecuted for things if they're allied with the town church, police, or politicians. This has been going on non-stop since before 1776.
It's how religions work. If you're one of them, you're golden and untouchable. If you're not, they're going to make your life as shitty as possible. That's what religious people do in reality, actual reality. Every day.
That's how "red" states work.

If I were the Dems, my platform would be to create 10 million pick and shovel jobs.
Besides the roads and bridges, we could rebuild the power grid.
Get the man babies out of the basements and give them real jobs.
And yes, I'm sure that there are a lot of women who'd love to drive dump trucks and run power lines.
edit =This getting anonymous downvotes is the funniest thing I can think of.
No actual arguments as to why it's a terrible idea, just loathing of the idea of picking up a shovel.
Bidens infrastructure bill. Democrats do a thing. Nobody notices. People wonder why Democrats don't do a thing.
Not only "not noticed", the republicans just took credit for it. Complete lies, but they said it was theirs. That's how propaganda works, and one side only uses propaganda. Because we let them broadcast it non-stop.
I had a Nanny who was shocked to learn she missed out on extra pay because of Republicans killing that part of a prior tax bill. She voted for donald every time she could. She was shocked to learn about dems infrastructure bills. I felt like I was informing an idiot what the world looked like. Republican voters are completely misinformed about reality, no degree of "they should do this" will fix the voters being misinformed.
On a personal note. I let her life fall apart after donald won. She was struggling financially and I could've helped her, but I didn't. She should've pulled harder on her bootstraps.
That's hilarious that you think basement dwelling incels are going to be any use whatsoever in a physical labor job.
Funny thing. When I made the edit I was at negative 8 votes. Now I'm up to positive 3.
I didn't think there'd be a lot of controversy.
And yes, I think there are many of them who would rise if they were presented with the right challenge. No all, but some
It has not been my experience, but I suppose if there was some purpose.
Biden did that bill. Already an option, but there’s a profound concept with people you need to understand. You cannot make people do what they do not want to do.
