    "STEVEN CROWDER, THE right-wing podcaster, is getting a divorce. “No, this was not my choice,” Crowder told his online audience last week. “My then-wife decided that she didn’t want to be married anymore — and in the state of Texas, that is completely permitted.” "

    So she should be stuck with this asshole for the rest of her life? And what kind of bullshit marriage would that look like.

    These clowns have no business dictating how people should live their lives.

      Their unironic answer is yes. These people are religious fanatics and/or raging control freaks who want the privilege of deciding how everyone else lives.

        It’s funny (well “funny”), the right wing podcasts my brother listens to was recently going off about how you need to train women and they can’t even think without a Real Man™. And these fuckers are sitting screeching calling LGTBQ folks they’re groomers at the same time. It’s been sucking off Trump a lot lately but the misogyny makes regular appearances. These aren’t obscure channels either.

      What do you expect? They don’t view women as anything more than brood mares

        Omg. I’m not surprised, but it’s still disgusting to see. Now this dumb fucking clown is on some mission to use state laws to force women into servitude.

    I though conservatism was about keeping the government out of our lives, not expanding its reach…

    Of course it’s Crowder at the forefront of this - the narcissistic manchild who was caught on-camera being such a vile piece of shit to his eight-month-pregnant then-wife that even his biggest simps couldn’t pretend that it was defensible.

      I’m baffled by America sometimes. The man is CLEARLY in the wrong, like he is being such a piece of shit on camera, but republicans are like: yeah poor guy, his wife left him, we should prevent that!!

    People like Stephen Crowder are angry that the laws aren’t on their side of being completely abusive assholes and getting away with it. They want things to go back to the way they were in the early 20th century when you could trick a woman into marrying you, then immediately treat them like shit without having to worry about them being able to leave. It’s sick.

    This is no more than a sad, small man whining about how he wants more control over a woman. It’s truly pathetic.

      They’ll do what a lot of people who vote right-wing (not all) do now. Act controlling, and try to stop them from talking to other guys.

      In my case, had an ex-husband swerve at me when I was driving. Dating another woman who the guy has managed to fully isolate from her original friendgroup including myself. He’s dropped statements to her such as mentioning he knows where I live, etc. Had another, who decided to threaten me mafia style

      Or, ban abortion (which they have already tried to do), so they’re forced to carry their kids. At this point of time, surely any guy voting for MAGA (at the very least) should be considered a huge red flag.

      And amongst all that, they’ll keep blaming everyone else for anything they can

      They will try to push legislation and cultural norms that pressure women indirectly into marriage. They will try to make being a single woman less pleasant of an experience. Shame them culturally, cutting funding for single mothers, making childcare more expensive, making workplaces more hostile for women to work in, etc.

      Many of these things are already in the works by conservatives, they will continue pushing them forward.

    On top of the issue of wanting to ensnare a person into living under you, why would he want to be with someone that openly doesn’t want to be with him?

    He would need Sharia Law in completely to have any benefit, not just bits and pieces.
