Listen up, wimmin! It's all our fault!

While we were busy talking about women being told to smile, that Supreme Court snuck up on all of us with that Hobby Lobby decision and now see where we are!

You see how that works? It's such a beneficial argument. We shudda been focused on the REAL issue but, no, we had to go and be silly. See what you got?

Now you go and fight, women!

A world where men think they can control women's facial expressions, is a world where men think they can control women's reproductive systems.

It's all woven together.

One feeds and builds a platform for the other.

The little "insignificant" things are the platform which allow the bigger thing to be built.

Seems pretty fucking obvious to me.

besides, it isn't just specific to one post or one thread. It's very common. We just have to look at it and call it for what it is along with a good deal of SMH...

previously said the ruling was no big deal.

Because Scalia and co. Look to HOf before writing legal decisions. It's on p. 34, fn. 9.
