Jonas Grinevičius and Li Nefas
Make Women Great Againthats the tagline of the upcoming The 22 Convention that will happen in May in Orlando, Florida. Its causing some huge waves of disbelief and anger both online and in the media.
Some people are outraged at nearly every part of the convention. That it costs 2,000 dollars for a ticket (though theres a 2-for-1 early bird deal going on now). That the speaker lineup is composed only of men. That the convention promises to show women how to be ideal and ultimate wives.
Meanwhile, the convention styles itself as an opponent of feminism and claims to promote all forms of positive femininity. It also states on its website that it will be the mansplaining event of the century.

This is what the convention claims on its website

Johnson believes that the US has to change for it to survive

Johnson also stated that he believes there is currently a feminist war on motherhood going on and called for it to end. He also expressed his belief that feminism should be viewed and examined as a national security threat.

(50,560 posts)They're billing this as "Destined to be the mansplaining event of the century."
And just so you know, they're only disclosing the hotel this bullshit is being held in to registered attendees.

(2,657 posts)all raised by a feminist mom and a feminist dad, I reject the massive amount of garbage being propagated by these mansplaining, clueless reprobates. Feminism has always been about lifting women up, not putting them down. It has been about giving women choices, not taking them away. It has been about respecting women as well as respecting whatever choices that they make. It is those of us on the left that have pushed to make healthcare available for mothers and all children. Also, It has been those of us on the left who have pushed to make good food and decent housing available to all mothers and all children.
In fact, it has been those morons on the right, who are obviously behind this collection of brain dead men, who have done all that they can to make sure that only a few have access to what mothers and children need--all while so many in our nation and the world have had to struggle so hard.
This event of gibbering fools represents the very heart of the problem--mostly White men who think that the solution to everything is to tell the oppressed peoples of the world that if they only worked harder they would have everything that they need--all the while doing all they can to make sure that those same oppressed people have as little as possible in terms of both resources and opportunities.
To those who are responsible for this abomination, I have two thoughts:
1. Go pound sand.
2. May God have mercy on your worthless souls.
