Considering the articles the new york times put out this week you would be extremely naive to think they aren't trying a full take over at this point. I don't believe there is a two party system but if I did I would be saying the democrats are attempting to make it a one party system with all the tricks they pulled to deplatform Trump and accuse him of things.I agree for the most part, that the threats to pack the Supreme Court are just threats and pandering to the Dem base. However, these threats can be effective, which is what happened to the Supreme Court under FDR. FDR threatened to pack the courts after they overturned the Tennessee Valley Authority, and even though there was a major bipartisan backlash, SCOTUS pretty much stopped overturning cases brought against his policies. For example, Wickard v. Filburn, where they ruled that the Commerce clause allowed Congress to regulate pretty much anything if it had the possibility to affect interstate commerce. That is what worries me about these court-packing threats and I hope SCOTUS retains enough of its independence.
Go shave your armpits legbeard.It's more that the typical stereotype of the blue haired feminist isn't always necessarily the responsible party. A lot of what people complain about is the result of racial grievance activism dating back to radical groups in the 1960s civil rights era and corporations attempting to pander to progressives to try to avoid the left turning on them at the polls. It's a lot bigger than Tumblr and a lot of the comments in this thread get genuinely sexist making sweeping statements about all women rather than focusing on the political and corporate forces which want this to happen. The BLM rioting and pandering would still have happened in a world where Tumblr didn't exist and no one used hair dye.
Basically if anyone who isn't a biologist, medical professional, or in the military or police starts talking about "females" as a term for women I assume they're a smelly virgin, rightly or wrongly. It's hard to describe just how weird it would sound if someone started casually talking like that in real life. I think the same way about feminists who whine about "white males". Those people must have pretty unsatisfying lives.
