   US bases 150km from the suburbs of Saint Petersburg. Heck of a job, Poots.

   /
   The authorities are currently negotiating a defense agreement, which, if implemented, will give the US armed forces the opportunity to use Finnish soil and bases for training and material storage.

   Negotiations on the defense cooperation agreement (DCA) between Finland and the United States took place last week in Katajanokka.

   Negotiations from the Finnish side Leading deputy head of department Mikael Antell from the political department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs says that the text of the agreement has been reviewed once in the discussions "in a positive and solution-seeking spirit among the allies".

   […]

   Finland has several different agreements related to defense cooperation, such as the so-called host country agreement with NATO. "The difference is that this is a binding state treaty and much broader in scope," says Antell.

   "The DCA agreement enables troops to enter the country, stay on the ground, pre-storage of material and possible infrastructure investments through the funds granted by the US Congress to the Pentagon," says Antell.

     The Finns are apparently "losing their marbles". I imagine Russia will retaliate by positioning missiles of their own on the border with Finland.

   The USA culture wars of the 2020's are a reprise of the 1970's.

   Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has a ban on discussions about sexual orientation and gender identity in the classroom, it's now being installed across the GOP owned states.

       Well i guess if schools are to educate the future work force, and sex work will be the job most likely to be done by unemployed boys and girls of what ever sex, then i guess its really important for schools to teach the how blow jobs are given and how butt plugs are used.

       As for same sex attraction, that is so 1980s, today its gender attraction and bigoted homo and heterosexuals will just have to fall in line and abandon their bigotry about 'sexual attraction' and fuck the mangled sexual organs of the people that went through the gender abattoir and the old pervs that still have them.

   The USA culture wars of the 2020's are not just a reprise of the 1970's but also back to the 1850’s.

   A campaign in the GOP owned states involves prevention of sex education and de-funding planned parenthood (access to contraception and MAP) and the ban on access to the abortion pill within the state (including supply into the state or even the availability to women in the state in other states). And also making fertility treatment illegal (on the grounds there might be unused embryos), this is done to force these conservative women to resort to a supply of pregnant socially liberal handmaidens.

   A bit like white landowners having other people do the labouring, as in the 19th C.

   Some of which reminds one of the underground railroad of the 19th state and inter-state claim of rights over human beings – escaped slaves and the wombs of women.

   HISTORY

   1. Roe v Wade and Aid to Dependent Children (solo mothers) which helped women keep children or to care for them after a divorce. Part of social and economic equality for women.
   2. The pro-life movement and another to blame solo mothers for crime – and thus the welfare reform signed into law by William Clinton – term limits, (low paid) work for welfare and faith based providers and Job Club and also shared parenting to discourage women from divorcing cheating husbands.

   The anti-feminist backlash part 1.

   For mine, education, access to affordable contraception and MAP and the availability of fertility services and adequate support to sole parents or better adoption options was the modern approach.

   That said, there is a huge difference in abortion rates – within the OECD the highest 4 times the lowest (which sort of demands a comparative study as to why). And the availability of the abortion pill means the difference between legal and illegal states is in declining.

     If the West supplied (affordability and availability) contraception to the Third World or Russia (highest abortion rate in the world) the world level would decline substantially.

       Don't worry the only legal right persons with the bodily ability to create a future work force or a future army will be abortion. I mean the sex workers of tomorrow can not be expected to be pregnant all the time from all that sex work- unless of course the sex buyer is into sex with pregnant bodies in which case, Ka-ching.

       I man in Russia you can legally abuse your person with the natural vaginas, without any issue, unless of course you beat them so bad they have to go to hospital in which case the beater of that natural vagina'ed body will get a wee fine. You know, rights of ownership and all that.

     https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/woman#Etymology

     IF women can't refer to themselves as women because some penishaver is having a hissy fit, and if women are now persons of certain bodily abilities or persons of bodyparts that 'man' can also have cause they were born with the 'female reproductive organs and sexual organs of interest to many males', you can neither protect that 'category of women' nor can you advocate for their rights.

     If males in frocks get to decide what is a woman and what they can and can not do, then this is very much the dystopian world of Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan and so on and so forth, with the caveat that so far in our world 'persons with abilities and bodyparts' have yet to be hidden under a bedsheet in order to not upset and offend males. Mind, that would hinder that sex is work thing, even though prostitution exists in all of these countries.

     Essentially women are things that exist, that can't be defined and that in the worst case scenario are objects to be owned, inclusive their labour – free of charge of course, they should be lucky enough to get a meal a day and a place to sleep. Thanks, Labour, National, Act, Greens and TPM, thy generosity with the lives of others that you don't consider important and even worthy of a modicum of dignity and respect and privacy is leaving females behind everywhere. Slay!!!!!!!

       Your language is very derogatory, Sabine. Clearly you hate this group with a passion.

         Not just the group but liberal society.

         Clearly the campaign by the right to divide and conquer women against feminism has been a total success in some cases.

         In return for the protection of the political right (as KJK calls it the protection provided by the men of vigilante force and power going into women’s spaces and dragging out the transgender) they want to burn the liberal “Weimar Republic” state.

         Comparing contraceptive rights for women with sex work etc and mental health conditions is full on Anita Bryant territory.

         It reminds me of Christabel Pankhurst – after failihng to become a Tory MP her latter career was in the USA preaching end time judgment against the immorality of man. Ms Dworkin wrote of the danger posed by the political right in 1983.

         In 1983, Dworkin published Right-Wing Women: The Politics of Domesticated Females, an examination of women's reasons for collaborating with conservative men for the limitation of women's freedom

         https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_Dworkin

         Dworkin opposed prostitution and pornography. just like conservative right wing woman but warned about alliances with them. That leads to the hand maids tale society etc.

         K-JK herself said she did not identify with feminism because of support for prostitution and pornography (a mischaracterisation – those feminists want women to be safe and empowered to do what they want).

         Rather than (hate) not just the group but liberal society, but a reaction to threat and questioning of the liberal society for enabling it.

         It's probably based in the notion of first principles, rights for women only existing if their identity is secure. Thus the basis of liberal democratic society dependent on this (as in the first duty of government being public safety).

         And if identifying the inclusion of others/other as a threat to security of their place in the existing regime, then …

         It's similar to the the claim that because some immigrants commit crime and or violence against women, then Moslems/foreigner migration is a threat society and or women (KJK and Moslem gangs in Midlands and Trump banning migration from Moslem countries and calling Hispanic illegals rapists).

         Or the claim (oft on Kiwiblog pre moderation) that if Moslems get to a certain number in society, then it is doomed.

         There is a reality in that if migrants remain in, or become part of underclass status, then their crime levels will be higher. There is also a reality to the fact that some sociopaths (various labels of the DSM once used against those same sex attracted and now used to profile those of gender identity are being casually thrown around, as per the days when homosexuals were accused of intending to prey on children) will exploit gender self id (these range from exhibitionists to more threatening abusive individuals).

         In that area some self ID transgender women do themselves no good by behaving like men with entitlement in women's spaces – there was/is a reason why society needed/needs women's refuges. After all it might be seen as being unable to listen to women as equals and called classic misogyny.
