Billie says she is "sick and tired of old men." Do you agree?

Question

Billie Eilish calls out Texas over abortion law during performance in Austin: 'I'm sick and tired of old men' Billie Eilish slammed the state of Texas over its recent controversial abortion law while performing at Austin City Limits over the weekend. The Grammy-winning artist took the stage at the show to perform some of her hits. However, she stopped at one point to discuss politics and pulled no punches when it came to denouncing the abortion law. The star admitted that she almost didn’t attend the show as an act of protest about the law, which went into effect on Sept. 1 after being upheld in a 5-4 decision by the U. S. Supreme Court. It is the strictest abortion law in the country. Critics say many women don’t yet know they’re pregnant at six weeks – around the time when a fetal heartbeat can first be detected – and the law makes no exceptions for rape or incest. It also allows citizens to sue providers of anyone helping women get an abortion. "I'm sick and tired of old men," Eilish said. "Shut the f--- up about our bodies." Eilish continued: "When they made that s--- a law, I almost didn't want to do the show, because I wanted to punish this f---ing place for allowing that to happen here. But then, I remembered that it's you guys that are the f---ing victims, and you deserve everything in the world." She concluded with a sort of call to action by calling on concertgoers to "tell them to shut the f--- up" before raising her middle finger, prompting a not insignificant number of people in the crowd to do the same.

I agree with her. Im sick of old men creating rules that affect me. I don’t care what your Bible says. Not everyone in America is Christian and if y’all want to make this a Christian Country take the “Land of the Free” out the slogan. America is becoming just like these Muslim countries who men are slaves masters of women. For instance, why does Texas not want women who have incest/rape to get an abortion? But let it be their daughters who get raped and they’ll fly out to the next state to get the baby aborted for their “good image” to remain in tact. Abortions will never end. Women will just do backyard abortions and die. Until the same thing that happened in China will happen here. The government will force women to abort sons and keep daughters because of the gender imbalance. You don’t think it will happen? If the government can force a woman to keep a baby, you think they can’t force a woman to abort? Here’s an idea. If you claim Christian you sign a legal document that forbids you from getting an abortion. It will affect you and your partner. You both should be thrown in prison for life an abortion happens or is planned. Give out $10k rewards to whoever catches you.

Eh. I'm not a fan of Billie or abortions. This isn't something I care about nor does it directly effect my life. I think abortion is fucked up but what does my opinion matter on it? It simply goes against my personal belief that all life is precious. I only think it's okay in cases where the mother's life is in danger or if the child has severe birth defects that would render it unable to live outside the womb. But people will do what they want. Not like birth control and condoms aren't a thing. As for rape and incest I will give some leeway in those circumstances, even though the child had no part in it and is innocent, but I do understand that it can be extremely mentally distressing for the victim. And the amount of abortions that are a result of rape or incest is less than 1% of total abortions so... Oops there I went giving my opinion. 🙃

Honestly I wouldn't mind if all old people just went "poof."

Although I will agree with the comment saying that she would probably fuck those same old men. Women do seem to love sleeping with the men they talk shit about. Just a fact.

Also "you're the victims and you deserve everything in the world." Lol what?

Let me be upfront on this: Old men are a royal pain in everyone's ass—not just women. I get it on the abortion issue, but they are too many stodgy old grampas who think that 1958 living is key to the future. They are really mistaken if they thing they represent the majority of people anywhere in this world.

BossThe2nd · Answer

To be fair, plenty of the fucktards trying to deprive women of reproductive rights are young.
Young basement dwelling incels who are bitter about the fact that others get to have sex while they don't.

She should be sick and tired of men in general, really.

maddie2003 · Answer

In spite of being young and naïve, she is ignorant as hell. Who made it possible for women to vote? Old, white men. Who gave people of color--or whatever the fuck they wanna call us now--our rights? Old, white men. She is just an icon of the modern-day socialist-propagandist movement.

15_Debo · Answer

I agree with her...
Parents or Fathers cannot have the right to make decisions for other people or their children... it is their life and they should live it in whatever ways they want... no one should be forced...

EmbraceThePain · Answer

I’m pro-life so I do personally like what Texas is doing. I don’t see abortion as an issue around controlling women’s body’s or not giving women free choice.

To me, it’s about preserving the preciousness of the developing human being.

That’s all it is for me. It’s a moral issue.

So, whenever a woman says “my body, my choice” or “stop controlling my body”

I just ignore, if I can’t reason with her. Again, for me, it’s not about that.

This issue of abortion, people will not budge it seems. Just believe what you believe and vote on it and hope you see what you voted on enacted because you think it is the right or moral thing.

spookywashere · Answer

I don't have a fixed opinion on this. People are free to do as they wish, it's not my problem. Just because I'm a woman, doesn't mean I have a say in what ALL other women do with their bodies. So it comes down to personal choice for me, do what you want and let others do the same... it's not that hard.

Just play one of her songs next to your babybump and fetus will garot itself with the umbilical cord rather than listen to her

darkcloud1945 · Answer

A womans body should be cared for by the woman only , there is only one place there could be a problem and that is if pregnant does the father have any rights if the womwn wants to keep or want to get rid of it since it took two to make the child. Not looking for a fight just asking how to resolve that problem.

loveslongnails · Answer

If men got pregnant, abortion would be legal for at least 3 months, no questions asked. Protecting the unborn? Bullshit.

tatianamay · Answer

To each their own. I really think a female judge should make the decision though. Well, a few female judges should collectively decide and make a decision

doopayo · Answer

Billie needs to practice what she preaches. Her boyfriend is literally pro life but whatever. Billies great at virtue signaling

Exterminatore · Answer

I think Billie is a singer and she should sing or shut her mouth. No one goes the her shows to hear BS political rhetoric. If I wanted to listen to BS I’d listen to Don Lemon.  Cancel Billie.

Grond21 · Answer

First off, the law DOES make an exception for rape, incest, or health of the mother. Second, I never look to pop stars for political opinions. They are usually blind.

Jessica405 · Answer

I agree with Billie. Most men have no real idea what it is like to be female. Just as women have no real idea what it is like to be a bloke.

t-8900 · Answer

this is the part where I say..."WHO?"  sorry i dont keep up with celebs.

Jayplays900 · Answer

Again, no respect in this country.

This goes for both democrats and republicans. Maybe we should use that wall money and build it in the middle of the country, giving both peoples their own right to make their own decisions. Cause it's obvious that people are going to endlessly hate each other, so fuck it, this country is fucked.

Isn't this bitch dating like a 30 year old.

She stupid teenager who's been indoctrinated by liberal. I'm younger than her fucking boyfriend and I agree with old men.

Also liberals say men can have babies so my opinion matters.

Babygirl_S · Answer

There are good old men out there. I am not sick of old men. I do, however, think any man looks way hotter in his 20s and early 30s. Grumpy old men put me off.

MzAsh · Answer

I get it but at some point you have to learn to quit being angry and just do what the fuck you’d want. Want to have an abortion? Go get one and don’t care who likes it or not. Let the others assholes be angry for a change.

BlacklightShade · Answer

The producer of The Wire cancelled a TV show in Texas because of Abbott's bullshit.

Tstrbrainer · Answer

Idgaf about Billie, because I don't know anything about her, but I do agree some things she said.

Abortion is definitely a termination of life, but abortion laws are invading into the personal space of individuals. So such matter is better left to the judgement of individuals.

And maybe she's right about old men, some of them, not all, might be pissed off that young women don't want to have sex with them, so they take away their rights
