Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So democrats are the prudes now? I get the point of the article, hypocrisy, but Republicans don't come off in these stories as the bad ones
Why is asking for equal treatment prudish?
Read what she said again. She doesn't spend time talking about how disgusting Boebert is, she doesn't call her names, she doesn't call for her resignation, she doesn't spend time whinging about the children, she doesn't do any of the things that would be done to her if she did something like this.
She simply noted that the reaction to this is less than what she has endured over lesser actions.
I'm having a hard time grasping how that amounts to being a prude, so please help me understand.
So tone deaf. You don't have to be prudish to disapprove of adults fondling each other in an all ages theater.
"You don’t have to be prudish to disapprove of adults fondling each other in an all ages theater."
Yes, yes you do have to be prudish to get mad at people making out in public. Like I said before though, hypocrisy doesn't work when it comes to sex, saying these people you hate like doing it isn't going to make them seem like the bad ones, and pointing out FOX not covering it isn't a news flash
Why did you phrase it like this "Yes, yes you do have to be prudish to get mad at people making out in public."? (Edit: Lol your profile explains it all real well but I still want to hear you say it) Because flashing her tits and giving a handjob with kids around while blowing vape smoke at a pregnant women are a little different than "making out in public"
I had a gf when I was younger that loved banging in public places. But you don't actually do that in a place with children, especially when you are vocally encouraging people to terrorize LGBTQ+ folks as groomers.
Wow. You just downgraded heavy petting to making out and acted like I wouldn't notice. Tell me you know you're wrong without telling me you know you're wrong.
Read the quote again. She's calling out Fox and conservative media for cherry picking what they are outraged about.
