Once anyone reaches the age of majority, they have brains; and are responsible to force their cognitive processes, attitudes, and behaviors.

Kos "owns" his ongoing misogynistic attitudes; and no--his wife cannot (nor should she attempt) to "change him" (that's so Tammy Wynette/Loretta Lynne).

The crux of the matter is that he's made a fortune off the backs of the women he's trashed (as w/I-Mess--it's a long-standing behavioral pattern...nothing new); and it shows in his ad revenue (which is the only reason he has the 'luxury' of being taking paternity leave (don't anyone pat him on the head, pls...he SHOULD be an engaged parent).

Few people in this country have paid maternity/paternity leave, folks...nor can they afford to take unpaid leave.

All men should actively parent...for fuck's sake; all he did was contribute less than a tsp. of sperm...his wife risked her life (twice) in childbirth.

I only hope she's intelligent enough to have her name on every asset they own.

I intentionally stayed off that congratulatory thread, re: his daughter's birth--I have sense and ethics enough not to toxify it (that's a sign of maturity--I coulda...but chose not to do so).

Doesn't mean I wasn't think it.

As long as people are hitting the front page over @Orange; (as well as refresh), his behavior isn't gonna shift (ad revenue will continue to ramp up).

Yes, it's partially "bandwagon" mindset, re: why people go there--too many progressives aren't.

Being a parent to a daughter ain't gonna change a fuckin' thang, folks...people who bully only cease said behavior when they're forced to do so--by a bigger bully (no incentive to otherwise shift behavior).

Yes--it's time his page views and frontpage traffic is replaced/coopted.

As with I-Mess, consequences to ongoing negativisitc power-mongering behavior (when incessantly insulting over half of the USA) need to hurt--be swift--as well as consistent.

Have at it.
