    So good I felt this deserved its own thread:


    What the rightwing response to Andrew Tate has proven beyond any doubt is they don't actually care about "grooming" and never did.

    It's an accusation that masks an admission. In their worldview, women of any age are men's rightful sexual property, and they want the monopoly. 1/

    As long as you're part of their hierarchy, your crimes against women and children aren't crimes at all, but the natural order of the world. Something to be encouraged to reinforce their power and dominance. Hence why pedophile priests and GOP politicians are protected. 2/

    "Grooming" only becomes a crime when people not of the in-group start to push back and assert themselves. The massive, coordinated attacks against Drag Show Story Hours have nothing to do with grooming children, because none are being groomed. 3/

    No parents are being forced to bring their children to these events. They're entirely voluntary. It has nothing to do with defending their own values, but denying parents with "competing" values the chance to bring their own children up in them. 4/

    Why? Because when children and women are exposed to a greater variety of ways of living, when they experience different viewpoints and opinions, the inflexible orthodoxy underpinning the entire rightwing worldview begins to crack. 5/

    Their monopoly over what they perceive as their rightful property is threatened. Not because any children or women are being harmed, exactly the opposite. Because empowered women and educated children are harder for THEM to harm. 6/

    Sexually insecure men like Tate, his entire incel army, and the rightwing influencers who know better but defend him out of solidarity have never cared about child abuse or sex trafficking. They care about their supply shrinking.

    That's all it ever was. 7/7

    and that's before we even discuss the glaring reality that not ONE of the "protect children from those who would sexually take advantage of children!!" crowd has ever even ONCE gone on record howling about the daily stream of new stories about Christian ministers of all sorts doing exactly that.

    Look.

    He might have had a moment or two of weakness and clandestinely built up terabytes of child porn.

    But he wasn’t some kind of homosexual deviant.

    He was a good Christian community man.

    A police officer. He taught Sunday school. A Scout Master. Volunteer softball coach in the church league.

    It’s not like he wore makeup and dresses.

    At this point, at least he wasn't a democrat librul. Because Rudy did drag and was always their favorite mayor and no one is booting out santos for doing drag shows.

    Qanon 'Meme Queen' wants Trump to intervene for her son - who was just found guilty of pedophilia for molesting his 12 year old stepdaughter.

    Said Meme Queen has repeatedly stated that she believes Trump is waging a secret war to save children from the liberal pedophilia cult. Now she doesn't seem so concerned about that.
