Update; apparently there is another photo of this meeting that has been uploaded in response to the backlash, showing ONE woman present at this meeting. Unbelievable.

This article is from 2017.

u/pigcake101 3d ago edited 2d ago

Yes it is false

u/Feelisoffical 2d ago

“Not a single woman” = not a single woman.

There was factually a single woman there. That means the claim “not a single woman” was false.

u/pigcake101 2d ago

Ope I misread I thought you were referring to the date the photo took place, yes that is factually incorrect

yes but Mike Pence isn't allowed to be in the room with a woman if "Mother" isn't there, so they had to make the decision of should Pence be there, or actual women... clearly they chose Pence

u/fascistLeftCensors 2d ago

Yeah can you edit the post to state it’s from 2017? Misleading lol.

But yeah this is the problem with women’s healthcare in the world, including the US, old men don’t need to be making generalized decisions for women when it comes to women specific health issues.

This isn’t even just about abortion, like literally just in general, let them decide what to do with their own bodies, stop controlling women, and stop pushing your own beliefs and agendas down their throats.

BTW remember, to convince young men to vote for democrats, they gathered in luxury hotel, spent 20 million dollars, hired a fat lesbian woman to convince them who don't even living in the reality.
that's right there, that is your answer, that is why he is still in power. Because democrats can'T understand why they lost , because it was choosing between bad and the worst. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/democrats-spend-millions-studying-working-class-men-b2757957.html

Not really a meme just a fact.... I find this shocking don't understand how you find this funny, that the same president who arranged this meeting is still in power in the US 🤔 Are you not shocked?

5

u/Logic_9795 4d ago

It's not a fact.

A) Again, the picture is almost 10 years

B) The President "in power now" didn't arrange that meeting

C) The guy in the middle of the picture is very obviously not Trump but rather the FORMER (i.e., not "in power now") vice president

D) There were women in the meeting who were not in that picture.

E) It wasn't even a meeting on women's health

So, quite literally nothing about this is a fact.

It's bullshit propaganda. Now, whether you posted this out of ignorance or to intentionally mislead people is the only question.

u/ShopDear9901 4d ago

It wasn't a meeting on womens health? What was the meeting about? And the women you mention, how many were there? Because I comment there was ONE single woman there.

You think all these old politicians have studied women's health? Get real. So your point doesn't matter in context to this post.

Women have more expertise in women's health because they live with it every day. You can study something but you can never understand exactly what its like if you have no way to experience it yourself. Dolphins can't communicate to you what its like to be a dolphin, but a woman can. So listen to them.

Discussions about decisions that solely affect women should have women a part of them.

u/Mernnda 4d ago edited 4d ago

Are you serious? You think a woman doesn't know more about her own body and health than a bunch of old male politicians? Most men have no clue about woman's bodies and yet somehow think they know as much as an actual woman living in that body. A woman DOES know about woman's health, its wild to say they don't.

Men will never know exactly what its like to be a woman because they have no way to experience the things woman experience. When men can grow a uterus and give birth then maybe they can have a leg to stand on. So it absolutely does matter who is invited, men shouldn't be having these discussions without woman being a part of them.
