Women are out here making the argument that their hormones make them so crazy that murder is justified, without apparently considering what that argument actually implies about women.
Yes, postpartum hormones can influence mood and mental health. Postpartum psychosis is also a real, documented psychiatric condition.1) It’s very rare (1/2 per 1000 births) 2) neither womanhood nor hormonal fluctuation automatically eliminates agency or criminal responsibility.
Even an insanity defense requires evidence that a person’s mental condition met a specific legal threshold at the time of the crime and not simply evidence that she was postpartum, hormonal, depressed, or mentally ill.
For most of Western history, women were explicitly characterized as irrational, emotionally unstable, and intellectually inferior because of their reproductive biology. “Hysteria” itself was historically associated with the uterus, and women could be institutionalized under extraordinarily broad standards.
So when you argue that a woman’s reproductive biology can make her so fundamentally incapable of controlling herself that she shouldn’t be held accountable for killing someone, you’re resurrecting exactly the premise that female biology makes women less rational, less autonomous, and less responsible for their own decisions than men. It’s the same logic used to excuse black murderers. “They could not help themselves.”
You can’t have it both ways.
Either women are autonomous adults capable of equal participation in society and deserving of equal justice under the law, or we’re fragile creatures governed by hormonal madness who cannot reliably be trusted with the same agency and responsibility afforded to men.
If you genuinely believe the Clancy defense, you’ve constructed a better argument for the paternalism of the 19th century than most 19th-century men ever could.
Congratulations!
Parents, you can send your child back to school with confidence this school year.
Under @POTUS' leadership, your God-given right to raise and nurture your child will be protected.
Now its time to boycott Walmart. They banned Damon Darling because he was paying for people groceries and other items. What a way to hurt your own business.
@Walmart
We should boycott Walmart seriously like what the fuck is the problem with this fucking country
Fuck @Walmart hope the booster hit yall some thing crazy
Walmart banned the guy for paying people’s grocery bills.
Damon Darling goes into stores, drops cash on strangers’ carts, helps folks struggling with inflation, and films the good deeds. Walmart’s response? Lifetime ban. Private property rules against filming and approaching customers, even when he’s spending money and making their sales go up.
In a country where people are struggling at the register, the one doing something about it gets the boot. Pure corporate clown world.
Helping your neighbor shouldn’t be a fireable offense. 🇺🇸
Here's what bothers me about all the artists pulling out of The Great American State Fair. Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, Milli Vanilli (who knew they were still around) and others claim that they can't play this event because it's too divisive and has caused security concerns.
PLEASE, HELP ME UNDERSTAND. I can't see the people who want to attend a Freedom 250 event causing security threats. Are these threats instead coming from the people who are AGAINST this celebration?
And what part of Freedom 250 is divisive? Please, be specific. I love Martina McBride. What changed that made this event no longer "non-partisan?" I'd like to know because NONE of this should be about politics.
I remember the Bicentennial. Everyone got together, Republicans and Democrats, to celebrate the 200th birthday of our nation. I remember people HATED President Ford and Nixon at the time. But they still showed up to celebrate. They didn’t boycott due to the person in the Oval Office. The celebration was bigger than the president.
Freedom 250 should be exactly the same. No politics. No partisanship. If that's really what it's turning into, I'd like to know exactly how. Until then, it just looks like partisanship and fear of retaliation from their own side when performers drop out.
🔥 FUCK THIS SHIT! 🔥
It's absolutely DISGUSTING and pathetic that @martinamcbride, @bretmichaels and these other fake ass "patriots" are refusing to show up for America's 250th anniversary just because Donald Trump is involved.
These talentless frauds and gutless losers built their whole careers off the back of this country.
The freedom, the fans, the opportunities America gave them and now they wanna spit in its face over politics?
What a bunch of whiny, virtue signaling BITCHES.
You don't get to cash in on American dreams for decades and then boycott the biggest birthday this nation will ever throw.
Never forget this betrayal. If you can't put the country first for one goddamn day, then WE THE PEOPLE won't support your sorry asses going forward.
No more streams, no more tickets, no more merch.
Go fuck off to whatever blue gay retarded bubble you crawled out of.
America doesn't need you.
But you sure as hell needed America. 🖕🖕🖕

“Bypassing the 60 vote cloture won’t destroy the institution… you know what WILL? Taking a cozy 2-week SPRING VACATION while DHS isn’t even funded!”
JOHN THUNE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED!
