So long as they can also set up a semen surveillance department to prosecute men for leaving their jizz between couch cushions and fleshlights.

I was going to disagree with you about fleshlights, but then I realized that’s how fucking asinine this whole menstrual monitoring bullshit is and it was a good analogy.

Pretty sure JD would HATE this! Imagine if he has to report all his couch fucking for each of his sperm tax right offs.

No, we are infected with lots and lots of xtian nationalist bullshit and an antiquated system that overly represents them. We need a system that allows us to ignore them since they are a minority - and let them bray as much as they like, but utterly powerless to tell anyone else how to live their lives.

It’s a hop, skip, and a jump away from making them cover up head to toe in public and banning them from driving or being seen outside without a man.

The extremist terrorists were with us in the house the entire time.

The DHS reported on the extreme right being the biggest domestic terrorist threat ages ago. The right freaked out, as expected, and it was quickly played down.

But the DHS was right.

This article is clickbait garbage. What they said is SO MUCH WORSE, but calling it “Menstrual Surveillance” is fucking stupid. While menstruation and pregnancy are obviously related, they’re not the same thing.

What they actually said is that they want to have states he able to monitor pregnancies so they can know if a woman becomes pregnant, but then suddenly isn’t anymore, so they can question them for an abortion, either illegally in state or out-of-state. Given they’re also pushing to monitor menstrual cycles alongside pregnancies, it’s full on police state shit that goes even further than what is described.

Clear. Concise. Factual. That’s all you need. The right already gives you what you need to show how fucked up they are. You don’t have to clickbait. It’s dystopian enough on its own.

Having lived in the south, nothing about this is remotely surprising.

100% guarantee most neighborhoods are starting networks that watch local girls to try to monitor if theyre gaining weight and then take a trip, not that they need to be recruited, they’re just idle pedophiles anyway.

Now they have something to threaten girls with for their silence…

Genuinely wondering: you say they are “pushing to monitor menstrual cycles alongside pregnancy.” How is that not menstrual surveillance? I haven’t dug into this myself but I’m confused by your comment and trying to understand better.

They’re pushing for that, but it isn’t what this person was taking about that they quoted. Nowhere in the article does any direct quote say that.

We know that’s the path they’re going to take by their actions, but they’re extrapolating in an article quoting something else.
