What has this got to do with being conservative?

It’s just someone being an ass, I don’t understand how their place on the political spectrum even gets thought about.

I find this a lot on social media. How there is such venom towards whatever the other side is that it becomes all encompassing.

Or am I totally missing something here?

Edit: the American masses don’t like their world view being questioned it seemed.

Lack of empathy, especially towards women, is generally associated with conservatives due to the current political climate. Whether or not that’s got any truth to it, I couldn’t say.

Right, but the post didn’t mention anything political, so why bring it up? I find the obsession with US politics tiring.

I guess if you lived here, experiencing the speed run into authoritarianism, you’d feel tired, but also a bit raw and sensitive about this shit. Unless you’re one of the fuckos that seem to be cheering that same speed run.

Everything is political. Misogyny is political.

It isn’t a US-only thing. Conservatism in the Western world in general is closely linked to sexism and misoginy. If the guy were being an asshole in a politically neutral way, like taking up too much space in an airplane or getting drunk and talking too loudly, people wouldn’t bring politics into it. But he was being an asshole in a political way.

Women are bleeding to death alone in hospital parking lots after being kicked out by doctors as a direct result of the conservative movement. Have you ever faced a real life-or-death threat? It is only human to fight back with all your might all the time when someone tries to kill you.

This is off the rails now. A probably fake exchange depicting a creep triggering such a responding comment is beyond all my expectations.

You asked and got an honest answer, and now you’re upset.

Eh, it’s not just americans. Conservatism is very much “rules for thee but not for me”.

When you write something like this, you can’t genuinely think it’s 100% accurate, right? Like, you have to know it’s BS deep down, right?

That statement, out of context, is fairly accurate. OP is just not in the group they think they are.
