23. I am starting to wonder for how much longer

It would probably be some sort sleazy, bogus MAGA “REAL FEMINIST ” movement that kills suffrage if they can go it:

Trust the reliably sleazy Atlantic to write a sunshiny piece on this horrible woman. The Atlantic boasts the awful, Pronatalist and anti-abortion but from the “left”, Liz Bruenig as well as the abundantly douchey, stale centrist shill Derek Thompson, who is now reducing Mamdani’s win to affordability only.

It would find support from the types of people who consider this rubbish feminist:

Sadly, I can imagine the Sinclair Lewis quote applying here..when they come for suffrage it will be weirdly, however unconvincingly, tricked out as feminist (i.e. with a parade of Maga women-MTG, Boebert, a collection of sleazy influencers, Candace Owens etc spear-heading it).

This is a historic low for women’s rights.
