I know I’m preaching to the choir, but this made me so mad. Support for abortion rights is falling with men overall (except for Democratic men) and especially Republican men. “A mere 19% of Republican men think abortion should be legal in most circumstances.”
Think twice about “non-political” men or independents, too.

This is where vetting and not being afraid to cut things off come into play.
Many of these guys will lie about their political affiliation or values to get laid, without a second thought. They’ll also wait for you to describe your values, traumas, and ideal guy so that they can “adopt” the persona for long enough to get what they want.
For some, it’s just attempting to reverse engineer intimacy or a relationship with someone that they know wouldn’t be interested in them (similar to people who lie about their education level, income, financial status, hobbies, or values to attract a dating partner). For others, there is an element of sadism in the deception – “haha, I got the pro-choice feminist to put out.”
When I was single, I didn’t list my political affiliation on any of my dating profiles, and kept that information vague during irl dates, while listening very carefully to what the actions and words of my date told me.
Edit: Don’t be afraid to put off sleeping with a guy for at least a few months (or whenever you’re comfortable, if longer). Monitor his behavior changes after you’ve been intimate with him.
Remember, nearly 100% of pregnancies are caused by ejaculation.
Honestly, more than just not sleeping with them, if you associate with conservative men at all you should stop. No community for these losers until they reform.
Yep. If I started dating again I’d subtly coax out their political views without giving hints about mine so I could find out what they really think without them being able to lie and adopt my views to get laid. Or pretend I was conservative and see if they agreed because if they agreed they either believe those views, which is bad, or they don’t and pretended to believe them, which is also bad.
Maybe just wear a shirt that states your values. Then they can just avoid you… But probably doing that anyway.
Well duh
I honestly think we need to stop fucking or being besties with Republicans at this point.
