    Women’s rights are on a sharp decline in Israel.

    Yeah, that’ll happen in a patriarchal theocracy.

    The sky is blue, water makes things wet, blood is red.

    Just saying things that are obvious, don’t mind me.

        There is the whole myth that ancient people couldn’t see the colour blue. But that was because they didn’t have a distinct word for it that didn’t include other shades like purple.

    John Kerry warned that Israel can be Jewish, large, democratic, pick two. They picked Jewish and large. Now leopards are coming for faces.

    Israel is currently on an absolutely bloodthirsty genocide bender right about now. The fact that it doesn’t give two shits about women’s rights is quite a bit further down the priority list from where it doesn’t give two shits about life in general, and is violently unaliving most everyone not like them in the region

    Pretty ironic, actually.

    Hacker ticked off a list of historical accomplishments for women’s equality in Israel: the 1951 Equal Rights for Women Law, considered revolutionary at the time; Golda Meir serving as one of the first female leaders in the world in 1969; the military’s mandatory conscription of women.

    Yeah, cause socialist zionists dominated political power during that period. As racist as they were towards Palestinians, equality was increasing. That’s not the ideological reality today.

    I mean I get that’s bad, and it’s definitely a sign of civilization regressing, and with each step backwards, we continue to inch towards the day where we finally topple any evidence of progress that has been built, and we’re lucky if we can even hold it together enough to emerge from the ashes of modern society as feral bands of mud people with some chance of perhaps one day making it back to this same point in another 2000 years or so.

    But, is the “loss of women’s rights” perhaps offset by the privilege of knowing that even if you lose your rights, you can still be shitty to people of a different ethnicity without concern of public judgment or accountability for your shitty behavior? And if so, isn’t that what freedom is all about?

    Males bullying females is the “wedge” that they use to get far-right totalitarianism’s basis in…

    It’s consistent, through different cultures, & it may be hardwired in our limbic system: bullying women is the basis for male-fascism-totalitarianism.

    Counter it XOR fail the Great Filter, humankind…

    Having-exterminated-ourselves is a “valid” choice, in Universe’s Natural Selection’s eyes…
