    It’s 2026 goddammit and those pathetic losers still see women as an absolute property. One chromosome decides your fate…incredible. Let’s not even mention anything queer-ish.

      I hate the USA but last time I checked, women were not property by law and also are allowed to get educated. But if you see no difference, fine. You’re surely free to have an opinion.

          Dude. Just because they’re also full of religious backwards numbnuts, who want to reign over women, doesn’t mean they’re even close to the Taliban level of degeneracy.
