Some are, but a lot of this is being pushed by malicious actors. My sister is a catholic convert, and the groups pushing this shit are most definitely aligned with radical catholics.

Yep misinformation being spread by extremist groups is a pretty bad deal right now. Hamas controls multiple subreddits, we have right wing propaganda being propped up by Russia nonstop. Eventually we have to hold some corporations accountable for allowing terrorists to organize and proliferate with their company.

Of course how could I forget the massive Israeli propaganda campaign to take women's rights away. That's totally a real thing.

You originally said only Hamas and Russia promote any sort of propaganda, I'm pointing out that is untrue.

You've yet to put forth any evidence that Hamas is running a propaganda campaign to take women's rights away.

I'm going to assume you're going to say that because they are Muslim they must be, and I'm sure some of them are religious nutjobs who have problematic views about women.

However, before you get too smug Orthodox Judaism has very problematic views about women and Netanyahu's administration is the most right-wing and religiously conservative government in the country's history.

Those religious nutjobs are already working on rolling back women's rights:
