Forced to marry their rapist? It occurred to me as I was reading an OP [View all]

about "popp'n out babies", just how close we are to this bizarre scenario again (still, in some places). We have "politicians" (otherwise known as misogynist, woman-hating assholes) overturning Roe, denying women health care, insisting that women must stay in violent, abusive marriages, must pop out babies like human pez dispensers, have their menstrual cycles monitored, and have 19A repealed. It isn't too far from there to forcing women tto marry the rapists. The basic thinking is that men should have access to women wherever and whenever they please, women's choices be damned. I can see the incels having a field day.

Over the top? Histrionic? Exaggerated? I don't put one goddamned, woman-hating thing past these bastards. Not one.
