It's not really weird if you look at it like their brains quit developing at 8 years old. Their entire platform is basically 'vaginas are gross, school is dumb, I want a bigger allowance, and stranger danger'
Fun fact: conservative brains have larger amygdalas, leading to greater response and sensitivities to fear and disgust.
They also have smaller Anterior Cingulate Cortexes which relate to... Pattern recognition and pattern dissonance lol.
So if you know conservatives with a strong fear and disgust response while also being literally incapable of seeing their own hypocrisy / cognitive dissonance... This is why.
This doesn't directly relate, but Iggy Pop once said he doesn't mind to be seen cross dressing because he doesn't consider it to be a negative thing to be a woman. They think Tampon Tim is a slam, because they think being compared to/associated with a woman is demeaning. Take note republican women, they don't respect you.
For a brief moment I thought you'd gotten Iggy Pop and Suzy/Eddie Izzard confused because I cross dressing might involve wearing a shirt, which Iggy pop isn't known for
But sure enough, it was Iggy Pop, him in a dress is probably the closest I've ever seen to him wearing a shirt.
Oh no, he's concerned with women's Reproductive Rights, medical care, and hygiene! What a comprehensive list of the absolute worst qualities a person could have.
Can you imagine Ronald Reagan whipping out incredibly stupid and weird nicknames like that? The man was a terrible president and did real harm to the country, but at least he was able to talk like an actual grown-up.
Seriously, can you imagine him suddenly dropping moronic nicknames for Carter or Mondale? The Republican party circa 1979 would have dumped him immediately and consigned him to the dustbin of history.
I agree. He should just point out that it's weird for them to attack him over this. Making sure kids have food and menstrual products available to the ones that need them are good things.
