What MRAās think will happen at the Women-Only Wonder Woman Screenings
bsqu:
We at the Alamo Drafthouse would like to officially apologize for our role in the end of mankind as we knew it, and the ascendant Gynocracy that followed. We didnāt know our women-only screening of Wonder Woman would result in the overthrow of all world governments and the total subjugation of men, but in hindsight we probably should have seen it coming.

Adopteesā stories are not yours.
Maybe I shouldnāt be angry; Iāve seen this kind of nonsense so many
times. But Iām still angry. You cannot claim youāre for birth mothers,
adoptees, and unborn life when a) plenty of birth mothers donāt/didnāt
have many choices, if any, and b) many adoptees are pro-choice.Iām so tired of seeing adopteesā stories co-opted as an āadoption, not
abortion!ā mantra. Most of the time, these folks have no clue how hard
adoption really is, how much it costs, and how much emotional labor is
needed from everyone involved.For me, the bottom line is: our
stories are not yours to steal for your own anti-choice purposes. They
are not yours to tear apart and use parts of to fit your own agenda.
They are ours, and for many of us, theyāve been difficult and even
painful to share. Leave adoptees alone.co-signing as a fellow adoptee. We are people, NOT theoretical stories for you to make a point. You have no idea what our situation is and it is wrong to impose views on us (āhow would adopted children feel if they were abortedā) or co-opt our stories for your purposes. It makes me highly skeptical that āpro-lifeā people are really all that concerned with life when they constantly treat OUR lives with disrespect.
I always joked with my parents. I told them, āIf I donāt make it as an actor, my fallback is musician.ā – Oscar Isaac
