A description of the most violent anti-women greeting card I ever saw....Warning Horrific...

Why? Because I need to get it out of my head?
The memory just resurfaced after some years! Probably due to drumphf & Co. And maybe the post about Hegseth pastor? I d k.
This is like from 40-ish years ago!
Serious 🚨!!!!!
TIA, for anyone willing to read.

I'm in a card store. Not sure for what occasion. As a curious person I look at different things that catch my interest.
There a card that proclaims on the front something like; "Best Valentine's Gift ever!".
I open it...

It's a legess, armless, headless naked woman's body sitting up!!!!! 😱
.
I'm not sure why I didn't yelp, curse aloud! Might have quietly gasped!
And since I'm someone who who doesn't always hold back on strong descenting opinions...
I wonder why I didn't (maybe bc I was too shocked) march right up to the counter w offending card in hand asking why allowing such violence-promoting trash in their store!!!
(yeah, yeah, First Amendment...) it wasn't like it was my local card store who would see me again!
O M G!

What's worse is there are Men Like That still out there in Our Country! (Not to mention elsewhere)
😫 😭 😬😬😬😬😬 Arerrggggg!

is under no obligation to sell an offensive greeting card and you'd have been well within your rights to demand that they not display or sell it.
