Misogyny: that's what Project 2025 is advocating for and this Childless Cat Lady isn't having it.
For every social media warrior who proudly declares #IUnderstandTheAssignment, there's a counterpart ready to gleefully embrace a wave of Christofascist extremism that threatens to strip women of our hard-earned freedoms.
So what is the assignment? It's to prevent Project 2025 from gaining traction in the upcoming election. The solution is clear: vote for the party that stands firm against the erosion of our rights.
Don't like the options? Feeling disillusioned by genocide and all the other crap both parties seem to allow? Remember: voting isn't marriage, it' it's a bus ride towards our collective goal. And our goal—the "assignment"—is to get as far away from the dystopian nightmare that the ultra-conservative Christofascist authors of Project 2025 envision. Only one party can guarantee they won't force women to become the next Ballerina Farm girl. Who will you choose?
Key takeaways from this episode include:

• how misogyny, especially misogynoir, will be used against the presumptive nominee
• educating yourself on Project 2025's goals
• why the childless cat lady trope is so often used by the opposition
• how in this context the difference between childfree and childless is meaningless
• the critical nature of local elections
