My sister got mad at me when I mocked her for getting upset Ginsburg died, and claimed she was a 'champion for women's rights' - so I asked her to tell me exactly what Ginsburg did for women's rights, other than write dissenting opinions for the minority of the court whose opinions were dismissed by the majority, failing to persuade enough other justices to adopt her views. Hanging around for nearly 30 years, being ignored as a dope for nearly the entire time, and casting a deciding vote on behalf of a majority of the court not once is really about as irellevant as a justice on the court can be. She had a s much influence on the evolution of the law as a potted plant.

Just the first thing that popped up.

We're actually playing Under Dark in Advanced 2e right now.

Got any suggestions?

Hahaha, did you actually remember the number before looking it up?

My AD&D nerd claim to fame was going 18/18 on WoC's polearm identification quiz.

Hehe, no, I thought it was 21 or 41. Had to look it up, and that's someone's custom chart even. I think it's 41 or 42 on a normal one.

I had the exact same argument with my sister. Her answer was, “she fought for things like allowing women to do what they choose with their bodies.” I said, “you mean your child’s body? Don’t you know how you were made?” She didn’t really have a coherent response lol. Just started screeching about some chapter in the book Freakonomics that says abortion solved all of societies problems.

Btw I found out that the source to all of this RBG worship is a single documentary (called “RBG”) that premiered a few years ago. They made it seem like she is the single greatest thing to happen to women. Start spewing facts that aren’t in that documentary and watch the cognitive distance appear in their facial expressions.

they're going to do the same thing with this comey show that's coming out. they're still running with it, even as more and more information is coming out that puts comey in a horrible light. (he's lived in that light for years now, for us...but for normies, they're just getting clued in). rbg got the hollywood treatment; i think the last years of her life were spent living as her caricature, notorious rbg...on purpose.

They’ve discovered that people trust online streaming “specials” more than anything. It reminds me of the early days of reality TV shows when everyone thought they were real and none of it was scripted or made up. But this is obviously way more dangerous.

Thanks - I had some vague knowledge that as a lawyer, she did fight on behalf of women's rights, did not know the specifics. As a SCOTUS justice though, I stand by my assertion that always being on the losing side, other than a couple times she was part of a 7-2 majority, on the whole her career on the court was entirely meaningless. A dissenting opinion is not the law, it's just the whining of the losing side.

Wasn’t even the first female Justice. She did nothing for women.
