Between the 1500s and 1700s, women in Britain, Germany, and Scotland were punished with the Scold’s Bridle a cruel iron mask that locked around their head, pressed down or pierced their tongue, and forced them into public humiliation. Women labeled as “too talkative” or “disrespectful” were chained, paraded through the streets, and ridiculed.
This wasn’t just about keeping someone quiet—it was a tool of patriarchal control, designed to punish women who dared to speak, stand up, or defy male authority. Some masks even had bells so everyone could hear their arrival, turning their suffering into a spectacle. Today, surviving bridles in museums remind us how far societies went to silence women and why fighting misogyny and patriarchal control is still necessary.
I'll never get over watching right wingers telling people to vote red to stop the socialist left while expecting checks in the mail from the government.
Ohio surgeon cheats on his wife, gets his mistress pregnant, uses wife’s info to acquire abortion pills, force-feeds them to mistress to cause abortion.
I won’t hold my breath for the outrage from men. I know you’re all very tired from ignoring one of these cases a day.
“If women kill their children due to hormones they can’t be allowed in high pressure jobs”
Men kill their families every 5 days
They kill because they’re mad, they’re drunk, they’re jealous, their football team lost
It’s treated as a nothing event because we’re so used to it!
While men are screaming 'die, c*nt' at women about the Lindsay Clancy case, they sure do seem quiet about Alan Michael Smith. Who is he, you ask?
Well, he casually carried out the deadliest mass shooting in Montana history on August 23, fatally shooting 8 of his relatives (ages 7, 12, 13, 15, 39, 72, 73, and 92) during a Sunday family dinner.
I do appreciate all these testerical men giving us an opportunity to highlight:
- 96% of family annihilators (weekly) men
- 95% of IPV murder suicides (10 per week) men
- 99% of rapists men
- MEN HAVE NO PROBLEM DECLARING ACCUSED GUILTY
(unless it's men who hurt women)
The Patrick who dropped her off at a hospital and immediately went skiing?
The Patrick who continued to leave the kids alone with her after she told him she didn’t feel the kids were safe alone with her?
Oh oh I know!Maybe you mean the Patrick who was such an inattentive husband he literally did not notice when his wife was constantly awake 48 consecutive hours?
Or perhaps you mean the Patrick who went on vacation with his new girlfriend 18days after his kids died and put them all in one urn?
The men squealing about "repeal the 19th" are the same men squealing that a pedophile should be able to be in a pedophile chat room on a crowded plane without the proof being photographed.
Proving that men will defend men, no matter what crimes they commit.
When a woman posted her husband was a pedophile & he killed her, men lined up to declare it was her fault. When a woman posted about how amicable her ongoing divorce was & he killed her, men declared she embarrassed him. When a man suffocated his daughters, men blamed the mother.
@ponygirl923 In a large war, Dale would be one of the first to hide or die, so bonus?
One of the weakest misogynistic weirdo freaks to exist. Once real violence comes, he'll be the first to fold.
