In the end, this is a war between people who believe we all deserve human rights and those who believe only wealthy White cis het Christian men deserve them.
If you aren't a wealthy White cis het Cristian man, why in God's name, would you ever side with our enemies?

The U.S. is in an unprecedented crisis.
A convicted criminal holds the office of the presidency (unconstitutionally, I might add) and is being abetted by a corrupt and broken SCOTUS and GOP Congress.
Our constitution has no mechanism to repair it.
It must be amended.

The patriarchy has created a "workaround" for men who want to engage in what are traditionally designated "feminine" activities.
It's okay to engage in "womanly" activities if they are sufficiently "masculinized."
Take cooking, for example.
