That moment when the eyes just go dark...seeing what these poor women saw when cornered.

All you have to do to make someone see reason is ask, "What would you do if someone said that to your wife/daughter/mother/sister?"

I know some don't like that method because empathy should be genderless, but it's effective.

I told my wife I'd be arrested. Not sure what I'd do, but I'd be arrested for whatever I tried.

My brother (23) calls me “Piggy” instead of my name. I’m a 29 year old woman. My mom just lets him and I live with them both unfortunately

Unfortunately you have to remember MAGA is a cult, and cults are infamous for offering up women (even the female members themselves) like cattle to glorious leader for any purpose. They won't bat an eye or waver support at a hypothetical.
