Almost put this in the Gender Issues thread, but I feel like it probably belongs here.

"A woman is like a child": MAGA turns on Republican women

Conservative women believe complicity will save them, but an emboldened far-right is gunning for their rights
www.salon.com www.salon.com
Forty-five percent of female voters backed Trump in 2024, despite his overt misogyny. Most, no doubt, believed that complicity would protect them and that the attacks would be centered on other women. But while the GOP certainly wants to strip liberal and feminist women of their rights, male MAGA leaders are showing increasing interest in bringing Republican women to heel, both culturally and through the force of law.

House Republicans passed a bill (now stalled in the Senate) this session to require citizens to have a passport or birth certificate matching their name to vote. This would be a back-door ban on voting for any woman who took her husband's last name and doesn't have a passport, an estimated 69 million women.

Webbon and the TheoBros have been clamoring more loudly in recent months about their wish to strip women, especially their own wives, of the right to vote. "You won't let women vote? Well, our society doesn't let five-year-olds vote," Webbon explained in a May podcast. He added that "a woman is like a child" and that "God has appointed men to protect them."

As Sarah Stankorb at the New Republic documented, there has been growing support in Christian nationalist circles "for the repeal of the 19th Amendment and support a 'household vote' system in which men vote on behalf of their families."

Historically, Texas A&M has been a very conservative university, as I'm sure Ironbrig would attest.
Friday, Texas A&M banned drag shows from campus, including Draggieland, which has been running since 2020 amidst heavy protesting. Previously, the board of regents had cut sponsorship for the show in 2022, but students rallied together to fund it themselves. Now they'll have to find another venue.

Today, Lt. Gov Dan Patrick let them know they're still DEI woke leftists and he's slashing their budget.

Tell me how the boot tastes, TAMU board of regents. Did it taste good enough that its memory will make you forget the pain of the face eating leopard?

I want to vote down the closing of the Drag Show. And vote up all those conservative schools losing funding from these assholes. LEAVE SHSU OUT OF THIS!

But...Jack Daniel's is distilled in Tennessee? (One of) the plant(s) that makes the barrels is located in Kentucky (and is apparently laying off/closing), and the company that owns JD is based in KY, but the distillery is in TN.
