LOL! A couple of questions, Paul. How do you find this crap and why would you read it? Why would you burden others with it?  |

So, if gender is now just a social construct and not reality, why are they making such a big deal about the push to elect the first "female" president?

I only looked at the cartoon to realize I need read no further. If you consider it a burden to learn what the education system in this country is imposing on children so be it. A school district in NC has already imposed the teachings of the gender unicorn on its students. Have others? I don't know but if parents/grandparents are made aware they can challenge the imposition. |

Three are actually major courses of study in universities called women studies. Men have been doing this for centuries with no formal education at all (on women studies), it's more of a trial and error throughout a lifetime of on the job training study. I'm not sure we're getting any better at it, beyond..... yes dear, I agree completely.Men might do better with some formal education in this field. So why are the vast majority of people taking this course women? They must be trying to figure themselves out. Good luck. (no I am not a misogynist... though I sometimes sound like one) |

I think one of the statements near the beginning summarizes the rest of the article:
"In fact, theorists like Judith Butler would argue that language is also important in the social sciences because it’s kind of how we make up things and pretend they’re real."

I believe the fact the HRC is female is the only thing that is true about her entire being  Some just want a woman no matter what else is or isint true. You cant fix stupid  |

I'm feeling traumatized by this subject and desperately need to find my safe space. Fortunately it's sitting at home in the garage with a full tank waiting for me.

So why are the vast majority of people taking this course women? They must be trying to figure themselves out. Good luck. (no I am not a misogynist... though I sometimes sound like one) That reminds me of this:
A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer. All of a sudden, he said out loud, "Lord, grant me one wish."
The sunny California sky clouded above his head and in a booming voice, and the Lord said, "Because you have tried to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish."
The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime I want."
The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take over thousands of miles! I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of another wish, a wish you think would honour and glorify me."
The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I wish that I could understand women. I want to know how they feel inside, what they are thinking when they give the silent treatment, why they cry, what they mean when they say " nothing!", and how I can make a woman truly happy."
The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four lanes on that bridge! |
