On the side which validates misogyny and child kidnapping no doubt.

She thinks shaking hands with a woman is as bad as raping her, and that adopted children would be better off being murdered. Seriously. I’m not painting her beliefs in the worst possible light. She has literally said both of those things. Search for it if you don’t believe me. I’m not going to hijack this thread with it any more.

You know this basically leads back into the mind set of why people can’t understand that pushing Christmas on somebody who doesn’t celebrate it is offensive. If it’s your culture (Santa Claus, crosses, rape fantasies, fantasizing your way out of barrenness, etc.), enjoy it, but once you cross the line and try to force some else to enjoy your little habits (Santa Claus, trying to force women to touch you, taking people’s children, lying about relationships), you should expect resistance. Why that is so difficult for people to understand on a board that is supposed to be about fighting ignorance always surprises me.

And this is why we can’t have nice things.
