Abusing women almost feels like a badge of honor at this time in our country.

It breaks my heart to see men like Andrew Cuomo, DJT, Hegseth & more advance to greater power as women bear the cost.

Cassie’s testimony against Diddy is true bravery.

In another instance of failure to read, this critic is an MD.

I do not argue against birthing children; I argue against forced birth & that the climate of disrespecting women doesn’t incentivize women to have kids

Calm down Robert, you’re getting emotional

Admirably, there’s widespread bipartisan condemnation of this disgusting behavior in the Young Republicans’ group chat.

But of course, JD Vance is employing his classic what-aboutism and refusing to take responsibility.

Today’s GOP is not what conservatism represents. These are not the values I was raised with, and I’m so disappointed that this is considered acceptable.

Who from the GOP is going to draw a hard line?

Chloe Lee MD, MPH @chloenazra.bsky.social · 18h

We already know there are lines today’s GOP is willing to cross with impunity. Abuse of women & children, promoting incompetence in exchange for loyalty, & more weren’t enough to turn people off this party and its supporters.

So, while I commend the writing, I wonder whether it will be meaningful.

We cannot expect women to welcome motherhood in a country that believes in their inferiority, refuses to support them meaningfully, and treats their bodies as expendable machines for production.

It also totally misses the point of the article, which is that rampant misogyny and devaluing women has in part contributed to the lowered birth rate. So disappointing.

Chloe Lee MD, MPH @chloenazra.bsky.social · 2d

For sure! And it also entirely neglects the point of the article.

I don’t trust anyone who refers to women as “females” & talks about their failure to have families in the same breath.

Apparently, treating women better isn’t even a consideration; it’s all those selfish females’ fault #medsky

There is nothing "natural" about forcing women into domestic servitude. If it were, our government wouldn't need coercive legislation for women to adopt the submissive role.

“In 1961, when I was just eight years old, I contracted measles. There was no vaccine available at the time. Like many of my classmates, I suffered through dangerously high fevers — mine reached 106 degrees — and nearly died. The disease left me almost totally deaf.” cc @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

Vaccination requirements kept our communities safe. Do not listen to anti-vaccine rhetoric. Do not gamble with your child’s health.
