It’s very hard to escape the conclusion that these people don’t have a problem with violence against women or child abuse, per se. They’re just against “braaahn people touching aaahr women and kids”, precisely because they see them as THEIRS to assault and abuse…

You can't have infinite GDP on a planet with finite trees, finite water, finite minerals. It's math, not ideology.
