That's right, conservatives want a candidate for the most powerful position on earth to worry about hypothetical nonsensical situations where men will go through years of medical and psychological treatments just to punch women in the face.

Tbf I wouldn't mind going through years of medical and psychological treatments if it meant I was allowed to punch whoever I wanted to in the face. Not for sports or for transgender reasons, just for fun. Turn me into a weapon please.

Just try it the other way. Random face punching today, years of medical and psychological treatment later!

Amygdala too big and cerebrum too small

Why would any man go through chemical castration to punch a woman in the face when he can just become a conservative politician?
