“So stop reducing it to ‘my GF is angry at me for factors outside of my control’ for pity points on the internet, and intentionally making your girlfriend the ‘crazy hysterical woman.’ Their anger at you is born out of your reaction to the SCOTUS ruling, not the ruling itself.”
Stop telling me not to view her as a crazy hysterical woman when that’s exactly what she is to be mad at me for something I had utterly no control over and no hand in. That’s exactly what she is. Anybody looking at it rationally could see that.
how pregnancies are so much more dangerous now, and how I might face going to jail if I miscarry.
pure hysteria. Nobody is going to jail for a miscarriage. Where did you even dream up such laughable nonsense? She me any even proposed law in any state that would criminalize miscarriages. I'll wait.
"It didn't really hit home for him until I told him we can't try for another baby because of this.
Hysterical response. You're dramatically altering your lives and possibly ruining your relationship with your husband for NOTHING.
I've been low-key upset with him since the ruling was leaked way back when and he sighed at me like I was over reacting when I was in tears."
You're clearly a lunatic who needs to get hold of herself. There is zero reason to be mad at him for something he played no part in. There is similarly no reason to be in tears. Stop emoting and think for a change. This does not affect you. Get a grip.
"I'm also one of these women. I can't even look at my husband or sit near him bc he has still not said a word not one word. I'm not bringing it up. I have twice in the form of a comment about how I'm feeling and there was silence so now I'm silent. I don't know how this is going to play out."
You're another hyperemotional and completely irrational nutjob. You're mad at him for what? failing to read your mind? If you want your relationship to actually work, the first thing you need to do is talk to your spouse. Do not assume he can or should be able to read your mind. Nobody can. He probably went silent because he was trying to avoid making you even more unstable than you already are - which is quite unstable. Get a grip.
"I told my partner (who's sympathetic but can anyone without a uterus truly understand?) I'm mad at anyone who isn't mad."
Guess what. Not everybody on the planet is going to feel exactly the same way you do about every issue. You cannot demand universal agreement of others. The best you can ask is empathy - which he gave.....and you're STILL mad at him for no reason. He really ought to rethink whether or not he wants to stay in a relationship with you.
"What disturbs me is that, even if you want to get pregnant, something could go wrong, like an ectopic. In many of these states, the ban[s] are absolute. People are going to die. Even the married Christians who want a bunch of babies."
uhh no. I know of no state at all in which an abortion could not be performed if it were medically necessary to save the life of the mother. Show me one state that even proposes a law such as this let alone a state that has actually enacted such a law.
"It's already starting... #medtwitter I saw 2 ectopic (which are in NO way viable) wait 9 hours so man doctor can talk with man lawyer to make sure that she 'qualifies' for care. Those ladies who think Trump is Jesus have no idea that all of these emergencies are off the table in some states."
Where did you go to medical school....doctor? I didn't realize that was your patient. Oh you didn't? Oh, that wasn't your patient? Then how the hell would you know whether or not the doctor in that case did anything that fell below the standard of care? You wouldn't. Again, what state has so much as proposed a law that would ban abortions which are medically necessary to save the life of the mother? Name it.
"Heck my husband is effing terrified for our kids. He's been raging right along with me. I don't understand how men don't care about the women they claim to love."
Not agreeing with YOUR POLITICS is not the same as not caring about the women they love. You hold no monopoly on care.
"My normally very, very empathetic husband told me to—and I quote—"calm down" yesterday when I learned of the apparent tampon shortage that's going on. (I start my period soon-ish.) Given how angry that made me, I can scarcely imagine how irate I would be if we weren't equally appalled by Roe's overturn."
He must think exactly like I do.....OR ELSE!!! Grow up. Not everybody in the world is going to agree with you about every issue. The best you can hope for is communication and genuine empathy on those occasions when your spouse disagrees. Be happy if you get that. If you are going to childishly demand 100% agreement on everything you are either not going to get it and are going to lash out like a child OR you have married an utter doormat you cannot possibly respect. Calm Down.
"I've actually had men ask why I care so much when it doesn't affect me. I'm too old to get pregnant myself, so I should stop giving a s***?"
Nobody said you can't care about it. What they've essentially said is "Calm Down". It sounds like you need to.
"I commented here the other day that my husband came home and openly wept, he was so angry and upset and felt so helpless."
LOL! Your "husband" is pathetic. "Wept"? Over a political issue? He needs testosterone supplements STAT!
"Mine told me not to worry because it won't affect me in my state (which depends on the next election mind you). Also, it didn't ban abortion, it just turned it back to the states. Grrrr!!!"
So he told you the truth. Deal with it.
Discussion
I’ve seen many posts from men, predictably confuddled as to why their girlfriends were angry at them “for no reason” about Roe v Wade.
Of course, these girlfriends in question were immediately labeled as “red flags” or “crazy feminists” by dudebros in the comments.
Men, your girlfriends are not angry at you because of Roe v Wade. They are most likely upset because you were unable to display empathy, and were apathetic to (or worse, in support of) her rights being stripped away. So stop reducing it to “my GF is angry at me for factors outside of my control” for pity points on the internet, and intentionally making your girlfriend the “crazy hysterical woman.”
Their anger at you is born out of your reaction to the SCOTUS ruling, not the ruling itself.
BF ought to ask GF to marry him and have his children. Problem solved.
People keep lying and saying women will go to jail for a miscarriage. That is not happening. People will be charged with abortion for jaywalking!
“I’ve seen many posts from men, predictably confuddled as to why their girlfriends were angry at them “for no reason” about Roe v Wade.”
Girlfriends being angry at their men for no reason is the normal state of affairs. Females being irrational and all.
Not just a bf/gf thing. Women across the fruited plain are snippy at men, taking cheap shots at brothers, co-workers, male acquaintances. Women in workplace authority are pooping on the men below them, figuratively.
They can’t say why they are acting this way, as they know it is wrong. Just a mean streaked lashing out at any male they can damage.
Guys are just hunkering down, hoping sanity returns soon.
A response that is nearly exactly true:
To the lefttard woman I use to date; I have met a wonderful, traditional, graceful and beautiful morena and we are very happy together. She values life in a way you cannot know. Quite frankly, she makes you look like a harridan POS. T'chau - I wish you the best. Regards, Caipirabob
1 in 4 women have had an abortion. Some of those that did probably regretted it and still have feelings about the abortion. This ALL WOMEN stuff is not true.
So, she refuses to have a child unless she has the right to kill it.
In all seriousness, if your girlfriend is mad at you, you need to get a new girlfriend. Her maternal instinct is gone. You don’t want a woman like that raising your progeny.
The dumbest part of all this is that the “rights” most of these women are claiming they lost didn’t change one bit for most of the nation. All those banshees in California and New York clutching coat hangers can still walk into a Planned Parenthood, apparently up until nine months pregnant, and get that precious “aborsh”.
Talk about criminalizing ectopic pregnancies and miscarriage bans are just hysteria, and attempts to clarify that are a great way for those boyfriends to understand what kind of girl they got and what type of future waits for them.
Odd, isn’t it, that they show none of the comments from the “bros.”
Looks like progressives will be taking a breather from breeding for a while. Count that as a good development.
this is great. the guys might ask the women to marry them so that they can back to their regular milk.
How many abortion have these witches committed?
If Leftists, expecially female Leftists, didn’t have something to be angry about, even if made up, they would have no reason for exiisting.
Wait for pity parties to start every week.
That’s a whole lot of gender-assuming
