"My stance is too far."
Because it might affect HIM. Controlling women and girls? Totally fine in his book.

Finally you get it! I don't have a uterus, so people with uteruses don't matter! Is it so complicated? Controlling the bodies of people with penises is totally different: that includes me!!!

Also, pro-choice women are just stupid sluts who are pro-baby killing. - Too many right wingers.

Right wingers do this for so many things.
"It's fine for me to have food stamps. I'm working hard! It's those other people who are gaming the system."
"I need help due to my illness / disability, because that's a real issue. But you don't have a disability. You're just lazy."

Oddly consistent though, they’ve only ever had a problem with women, let’s be honest.

Plain ol’ misogyny. They don’t value women’s choice as much.

We shouldn’t abstain from one of life’s pleasures just because people like you want people to have children against their will.

u/Frequent_Row_462 Oct 21 '24
Yeah stupid people wanting to have sex!
Let's eliminate contraceptives so we can punish them. 😈😈😈😈

u/El_Cactus_Fantastico Oct 21 '24
Or… just let people get abortions until they are ready to care for a kid

Pregnancy is not a punishment for sex. Sex is not a crime....Conservatives need a lot of therapy... association of female sexuality with negativity is really creepy. If they don't get a baby out of every rape or sexual intercourse they feel cheated even though there are thousands of children who need homes already. It's never been about children its about punishing women and forcing them to be mothers.

Looks like satire, but makes a real point. (As most satire often does)

u/mangolover Oct 20 '24
What makes you think it’s satire? The interviewer is obviously trying to point out the hypocrisy, but it’s not obvious to me that the interviewee is acting.

u/NoPrompt927 Oct 20 '24 edited Oct 20 '24
The hat is brand new, there's no evidence of any other rallyers or MAGA supporters in the background, and the setting is just... weird. The response from the interviewee is also very choherent and he offers no real resistance to the interviewer. That's not to say MAGA interviewees are generally incoherent, just that the answer seems very pre-prepared/rehearsed.
Edit: by resistance, I mean the interviewee falls into the trap too easily. Most real interviews, you'd see the interviewee backpedal or try to justify their exceptional viewpoint; this person doesn't.

This is channel 5 on youtube. Ive been watching for years and this guy is an extremely honest journalist, although is left leaning. So while there may be a possibility that this is set up, i HIGHLY doubt it based on the work he has done in the past.

u/NoPrompt927 Oct 21 '24
Just because they've done legit stuff in the past, doesn't mean they wouldn't do satire. Don't get me wrong, I'm not citing this as an indictment of their credibility, I'm just saying this video seems satirical in nature. The point it makes is still extremely valid.

u/Ryvern46 Oct 21 '24
…yeah of course its satire. Im just saying the guy hes interviewing probably actually believes the stuff hes saying. Thats why its funny. Bc we are in on the joke and hes not

u/NoPrompt927 Oct 21 '24
My point is the satire comes from both parties being in on it. There's enough indicators to suggest the interviewee is an actor.
I'm not sure why it matters though, as good satire can be hard to distinguish from reality.
It's not as if one satirical interview with an actor discredits the original creator.

u/AussieJonesNoelzy Oct 21 '24
It's like they're almost able to realise the flaws in the ideology but are too stupid to grasp with the fact that what they're saying is hypocritical.

They think abortion is murder. So stopping abortions is good and forcing vasectomy is bad. It's just rude to dance around the real problem to make them look bad

u/Nerdy_Valkyrie Oct 20 '24
I get the satire but people seriously need to stop saying vasectomies are reversible. Not even as a joke, because people will believe it. They might be reversible. There's a huge difference.
Never get a vasectomy as a temporary thing.

u/spocktalk69 Oct 21 '24
Vasectomies are reversible now. They tie a knot in it now instead of cutting. Or if you're really rich you can get a switch installed where you can turn it off and on. No joke.

u/Complete-Basket-291 Oct 21 '24
I mean iirc it has something like a 1/20 of not being properly reversible or something.

u/Circadianrivers Oct 21 '24
I’m pro choice but I don’t think this a fair comparison.
Forcing someone to get a potentially permanent (in rarer circumstances) surgical procedure is not the same as preventing someone from getting one done.
8
u/Loud-Tonight-6673 Oct 21 '24
I feel it is. They both could lose the ability to have more kids. Preventing someone from getting it done can lead to fatality or permanent damage to the mother in some cases though. Abortion isn’t just from people not wanting to have kids in the moment. It’s an encompassing term for a part of Women’s healthcare.

u/Circadianrivers Oct 21 '24
That’s a good point actually.
I guess that shows how stupid both positions are really.
3
u/youpoopedyerpants Oct 21 '24
It is removing the control a person has over their own body.
Forcing someone to have a vasectomy and forcing someone to carry an unwanted or unviable pregnancy to term are the same thing.
In both cases, a person is being forced to do something with their body that they don’t want to do.
Obviously no one wants mandatory vasectomies. That’s the point. Why is it okay to say no abortions but not to mandate vasectomies??? It isn’t.
