A Big ‘Uh-Oh’ for Women’s Sports REPRINT

“I enjoy being a girl…”

Everything leftids believe is based on some kind of delusion. The government creates wealth. You can raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour with no adverse effect on business.

And of course, if you say you’re a girl, that makes you a girl. Whatever you say you are, you are. And only a Biggit says otherwise.

And so, at Cromwell High School in Connecticut, a 15-year-old boy with a mustache has gone out for girls’ track–because the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference says you are whatever you say you are–and has already come in first in a girls’ track meet (http://www.crisismagazine.com/2017/transgender-lunacy). Ain’t that grand? And because he’s a freshman, he can look forward to four full years of filling his shelf with girls’ track trophies. Well, at least until bigger and stronger boys with full beards say they’re girls, too, and knock him out of the catbird seat.

The girl who trained so hard to come in second in the meet, and win nothing, said, “I can’t really say what I want to say…” Yer darn tootin’ you can’t! The Human Rights Commission might be listening. You know what they do to those who utter hat speach.

Hey! what happens when it’s time to give out girls’ athletic scholarships? Can boys scarf those up, too?

And what happens when the workplace catches on, and men start declaring themselves women so they can get raises and promotions that would otherwise go to…ahem!…real women?

You can’t follow crazy thoughts and not end up in crazy places.

Because They’re Crazy

“Books?” said the liberal Eloi. “Yes, we have books! And here they are…”

Someone recently said that liberal ideas make sense to liberals.

That’s because the libs are crazy.

A leftid looks at Detroit–ruined houses, piles of books rotting away in the abandoned library–and says “Yeah, we want that!”

A leftid sees the piles of human feces on the sidewalks of San Francisco and says, “Yeah, we want that!”

He sees the mobs of angry Muslim “asylum seekers” turning Western Europe’s cities into “No Go” zones, and demands the same for America.

A leftid gets jealous if MS-13 hasn’t set up shop in his home state–as long as it’s nice and far from his own neighborhood.

A lefty loon is always “rooting for a recession” so he can blame it on Republicans and get Democrats elected.

A leftid sees young people coming out of college with nothing to show for it but a chip on the shoulder and a mountain of debt, and calls it “higher education.”

A leftid sees people in Venezuela breaking into the zoos and eating the animals because there’s no food in their stores, and says, “Oh, yeah, gimme some of that!”

A leftid sees so-called “students” physically assaulting a speaker, putting on masks and rioting, starting fires and breaking shop windows, and orders the police to stand down.

I could go on, but you get the point: everything that appalls a normal person titillates the liberal. These are, after all, people who insist that there are no moral facts. Give them one small sip of power and they’re roaring drunk, trying to drain the whole jug at a gulp and then reach for more.

America will not be sane until the Left is out of business.

UK to Ban ‘Gender Stereotyping’ in Advertisements

Totally forbidden gender stereotype!

You’d think there were no real problems to be dealt with anymore, the way governments keep zeroing in on bulls*** like this.

In the United Kingdom, the government’s Advertising Standard Authority has acted to prohibit “gender stereotyping” in ads… because it “might be harmful to people” (http://www.mrctv.org/blog/uk-ban-ads-promote-gender-stereotypes).

How could it be harmful? It could “lead to unequal gender outcomes–” What? what the blazes are they talking about?–“in public and private aspects of people’s lives.” Which is silly, isn’t it, because if the government’s going to step in and regulate some “private aspect” if your life, it isn’t private anymore, is it?

What exactly is a “gender stereotype”? Search me. Any acknowledgement that there are men and women and that they aren’t exactly the same, aren’t interchangeable… but how, then, do you go about creating ads in which “gender stereotypes” do not appear? Sure, you can show people playing bridge, or some other activity in which “gender” is irrelevant. But, see, if you were to show a woman sitting at a sewing machine–well, that would be unforgivable! From now on, you can only show men using sewing machines. Oops–just created a new gender stereotype.

Do they have nothing more serious with which to occupy their time?

We don’t have a bunch of commissars in charge of advertising in our country–not yet we don’t. But even these dorks in Britain could surely find something more important to do, if they really put their minds to it: presuming they have minds. How about coming down on blatantly false advertising, eh?

But no–these are the whoopee crowd, our betters, the enlightened ones: and by thunder, they’re going to tell us what to say and what to think, and they are going to re-mold our culture in their own little know-it-all hands and bring forth Social Justice if it kills us…

As C.S. Lewis once pointed out, the robber will reach a point where he’s satiated; but the self-righteous do-gooder will never reach that point, will never have enough of meddling in other people’s lives. And if his ministrations are actually killing them, he will be quite unaware of it.
