26,000 rapes in the last nine months? If that’s true, they should be focusing on that more than abortion.

I promise you, survivors have been saying this for years.

That’s a crazy amount. That’s nearly 3000 rapes a month. Or roughly 100 rapes per day. And that’s only those that resulted in pregnancy. Actually for a state the size of Texas maybe it’s not that surprising, sadly.

That is astronomically bad. I know why women hate men. They are making a bad rep for all men. Disgusting.

Yeah, once you can stop the defensive toxic masculinity, and listen to women, it's impossible not to be a feminist unless you're truly evil.

oh gawd, and crybaby man-children complain about girls rejecting them, when girls are just trying to stay safe 🤦‍♂️

I'm not crying about rejection. But thanks for playing miss interpreting sentences that can have alternative meanings. Next week you can read into a meme I post and think it's about your childhood.

Oh my gosh. I'm sorry. My reply/comment was very badly written. It was not directed at you. I meant to talk about how, in general, some men, who are child-like, take rejection so badly when they don't understand the dangers women deal with when it comes to dating or other social interactions with men.

Again, I apologize. I should have looked over what I wrote before posting it.

I was assured by Governor Abbott that there wouldn't be rapes because those are illegal.

There aren't people illegally crossing the border, either. Oh wait… did no one think to throw that in his face at the time?

That’s only 26000 RAPE RELATED PREGNANCIES. Not the total number of rapes unfortunately.

Or, you know, maybe not allow people to be raped and allow people to discontinue a pregnancy, especially those arising from rape.
