No. You need to stop making gross caricatures because I sincerely doubt that these conservative women in the US actually prescribe to the belief of women only being of value as wives and mothers that you claim they do. Furthermore, it's clear that you see these beliefs as evidently and undoubtedly inherent to the conservative world view and that such fundamental tenants would apply to either side of the anglo-sphere.

Bigoted is an accurate remark to describe those who engage in rank political tribalism and are totally incapable of being able to fairly discuss the opinions of others without being disingenuous.

For all your talk of wanting to work with these women you seem to be pretty quick in referring to them as nothing more than deluded pond scum behind their backs.

The sheer snobbery and contempt you have have shown for these women is understanably enraging and you need to develop a more mature way of engaging with women as a group rather than taking any opportunity to slander and misrepresent them to make yourself feel superior.

Good day, Mam!

OP again here:

Seriously, I said no such thing as "deluded pond scum," (anyone interested can read this thread and my posting history for my actual words) nor implied that I had anything less than admiration for the enthusiasm and hard work of conservative AMERICAN women fighting the US Equality Act. I have partnered with conservatives in the past, and am partnering with them now.

Nor did I make a "gross caricature" or anything close. I said one sentence that is quite true of some of the conservative American women fighting the Equality Act, the US Equality Act, not the UK Equality Act: some of the AMERICAN women fighting it think that women should be wives and mothers.

I had just got off the phone with one when I typed the OP.

And in my posting history, you can see that I have called out the Democrats over and over and over and over.

But I won't waste my time, because, like every other AMERICAN woman, I could be about to lose my rights via the US Equality Act, so I need to focus on stopping it.

I would just ask that you refrain from ad hominem attacks, which we've successfully kept off this board. Thanks.
