Roe v Wade and Incels
Post Body

Excuse the rambling nature of this post. I'm angry.

Moments ago, Roe v. Wade was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court. For those of you who don't know, Roe v. Wade was the Supreme Court decision to make abortion legal in the U.S. It's overturning does not make abortion illegal, but instead removes all federal protections from the right to get an abortion, thus leaving it to each individual state to decide what it will allow within its borders.

I'm not here to make any kind of pro-choice argument. If you aren't pro-choice, you're wrong and your ideas are a proven detriment to modern society. That's just a fact. I won't waste my breath arguing with you. What I am here to do is explain to you the [minor] role incels and people like them had in spurring this along, and how you can start fighting back against them today.

It should come as no surprise that incels enjoy hurting women whether that be directly or indirectly. The overturning of Roe v Wade is an opportunity for them to vicariously punish women for daring to have sex with anyone that isn't them. It is a way, in their minds, to prevent women from having casual sex with "Chad" because that now comes with the risk of being forced into giving birth. Do not let them revel in those ideas. Point out their horrid views to their friends, families, employers, etc. Put them on full blast and do whatever it takes to embarrass them and make them quiet. Shove them back into their echo chambers. Make it clear their views on the matter are simply unacceptable. Do not "debate" them. Do not engage in a discussion with them. They aren't worth it.

As for what you can do to help outside the context of incels vs. decent people, any of the following:

  • Build underground railroad style networks in your own communities to harbor and transport those seeking access to safe and legal abortions.

  • Protest. If you can find a local protest near you, go participate. The more bodies on the street, the better.

  • Spread awareness. Inform others about the impact the overturning of Roe v Wade will have. More abused, neglected, and abandoned children. Higher rates of crime and poverty, etc.

All in all, be prepare for incels to celebrate this but don't give them the time of day. There's work to be done.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The Supreme Court of the U.S. does NOT plan to stop at overturning Roe v. Wade. Several laws were already triggered by the decision in several states to effectively outlaw abortion within their borders. There are only a few coastal states and about two midwestern states that still grant legal access to abortion in some capacity. PLan B pills are also still legal everywhere, so if you can, stock up and distribute as necessary.

SCOTUS will be looking at keystone decisions that have protected our collective rights before most of us were born. This includes the same-sex marriage and even interracial marriage. This includes decisions that would impact the efficacy of the 13th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution. Understand that this is much, much bigger than abortion. The right is trying to turn back time.

NOTE: Incels are already starting to send me PMs. If you are getting any for participating in this thread, I recommend simply ignoring and blocking them. Now is not the time to convince them to act like adults or try to give them "advice".

Jesus. What a stupid diatribe. OP is definitely brainwashed and does her best to construct a straw man that she can burn down.
