Remember how the left not long ago went on and on and on about the supposed “war on women” from the right? The irony is that according to current leftist dogma, women no longer exist. After all, the Biden Administration’s Department of Health and Human Services is insisting in referring to mothers (once understood as a significant subset of beings known as “women”) as “birthing persons,” because current leftist dogma says man can have babies, too. Which means women no long have anything naturally distinctive about them.
Christine Rosen dilates this problem wonderfully in the current issue of Commentary in “The New Misogyny.” Key bit:

There are few terms less respectful of motherhood than "birthing person." How anyone who loves a woman--Grandma, Mom, wife, fiancee, sister, daughter, aunt, niece or granddaughter--could be so cold as to describe a woman as if she were an auto part says everyhing about their own soulless humanity. If this callous, politicized vocabulary represents the future of western civilization, welcome to the outskirts of a brave new world.

True! He is right! The left doesn't really think any specifically female experiences are important.

The swimming video is literally sad. The guy who is pretending to be a woman is done about two lengths of the pool before the second place finisher.....and ACTUAL woman reaches the end.
So....setting "records" which are entirely fraudulent is impressive to exactly nobody. This is literally the destruction of women's sports and the women who join in this farce are the necessary props to make the lie seem real. If the real women would just walk off and refuse to compete against an obvious cheater like this, the game would be up.
Ladies.....don't be props in this farce. Sit it out, let this deranged fool have to play by himself.

Where ya been Steven? It has been that way since my teens and I am in my 6th decade of life. The Left has always hated women on our side of the aisle. Especially if we choose to marry, and have kids along with a happy life going to church.
The left loves their females, but they truly hate real women. You can see it right now with all the genderbenders participating in girl's sporting events and invading their locker rooms and bathrooms. If the feminists truly wanted to defend girl's rights, they would be fighting tooth and nail against the genderbenders invasion of our nation's daughters and their privacy. That is why Feminism is a complete failure as well.

Pete Buttigeg is a fantastic mother to his twins. Maternity leave left our distribution chain destroyed because diesel trucks emitted carbon particles in Los Angeles. Leave poor Pete nurse the twins. Our hope for women is Kameltoe because she is barren although a courtesan.

Feminism was the opening salvo in the war against the family. It was the radical feminists that insisted abortion was the defining "liberty" for their emancipation. Next came "no fault divorce", followed by gender-neutral "marriage". Young women who decide to dedicate their creativity, intellect and drive into shaping the next generation have been denigrated for decades. Instead the accolades went to female police officers, firefighters, doctors, construction workers and auto mechanics. Any "first woman" in any field was elevated to the status of heroine, excuse me "hero". The blurring of inherent sex roles within the family and society has now reached its zenith with a man winning medals and trophies meant for women.
Modern women were hoodwinked into swapping the role of bread baker for bread winner, to the detriment of husbands and children over five decades. When mothers were no longer around to bird-dog the schools with robust PTA's, school boards became the bastions of communism we see today. Fathers visit on weekends if the kids are lucky, or get shuttled between two homes/two bedrooms every weekend. Without mothers engaged in their children's lives, youngsters are prey to the LGBTQ and CRT crowd. All of this destruction and dysfunction was perpetrated on purpose by powerful people lusting for total control of humanity.
Women can have everything...sequentially. Beginning with marriage and building the foundation of a loving and honest relationship in which to bring children. Staying home and raising their own babies is the greatest job a woman can accomplish in life. Depending on the number of children, a mother only has 20-25 years to develop and shape the next generation. She still has half her adult life to work in the world, bringing with her a compassion earned and learned over thousands of scrapped knees and teenage crises. Our society is now suffering from the influence of stay-at-home moms for 50 years.
We cannot have a strong country without a strong society born of strong families held together by strong women.

ABORTION is the gift that keeps on giving to men; or the modern version of how to keep women as "permanently available" sex objects. When things go 'wrong' its is exclusively her "CHOICE" and responsibility to resolve it.
# 4 " The left loves their females......" Wrong: Has confused "love" with "lurve" meaning "LUST".

How bout the simple fact that wearing glam makeup and frilly gowns does not define womanhood.
And many women do not want it to.
Bc guess what, they know that eventually they will not be considered women for rejecting those 2 things.

Great minds think alike #6. I've said the same or similar many times. I would add that the women sold a bill of goods on feminism don't get angry with the feminists ie the 'sisterhood,' they get angry with everyone else! Of course, it's usually men bearing the brunt of this misplaced rage so they get to participate in the misery of feminism too.
1) Much of feminism was created out of whole cloth by...already-idle academics. Lesbians, childless married women and old maids. It was easy enough for them to cook up the rules, less easy for women in the real world believing and trying to implement this have-it-all-and-have-it-all-the-time fairy tale.
2) Married women with children who claim to be happy feminists usually have money and a lot of it. Much easier to claim to be strong and independent when there is child care, house cleaning, etc. on offer.
3) Despite all the lip service paid to feminism and its so-called ideals, as you say when push comes to shove young, heterosexual, normal women want husbands, family, safety and security. Maslow's hierarchy of needs combined with millennia of God-given instinct.
It's a shame for them and for us that young women buy into this propaganda and become militant. Far too many of them are angry, lonely, frustrated and confused.

Maybe someone could take this guy out in the country and 'streamline' him even more...
You know, help him out a little....... then he could 'famous' be for sitting down to pee.
We'd probably see a lot less of this.

My mother was a nurse. When she married, she quit nursing and had 9 children. To the feminists, she would be considered a sell out, but she raised 9 good men and women who all love and remember her with love. I am happy she isn't around to hear the abominable phrase "birthing person".

My sainted mother was NOT a birthing person...she was a Mama who loved me and looked after my needs..she brought me through the second world war and made sure I was fed and clothed...NOW...if some self loathing people have a problem with that...so be it...but politically correct obama cannot change the term....just because his mother was a selfish/ignorant woman...whose partner was a dead/beat muslim who abandoned little obama...leaving him angry at the world...in particular America....

The LEFT sets before us their ideal women: ugly, mouthy, venal, and stupid. These womyn considered to be ''leadership'' they push forward Pelosi, AOC, Clinton and Omar. Furthermore, I will always think of the “woman” swimmer from U. of Pennsylvania as Liar Thomas

Who knew Pete Buttigieg was a 'birthing person'? That's a miracle in itself. The left are just people playing with words while sounding and acting dumb. When feminist have rallies with guest speakers like Cher Bono you know it's a farce movement.

When a man claiming to be a woman can have a period and deliver a baby vaginally, then he has the right to be called a woman.
Until then, he is still a man.

In the last 30 years, I've watched (male) sport after (male) sport axxed by Title IX. Women had to have the same numbers in sports as men... trouble is, they didn't naturally want to do that. So in came scholarships for field hockey, women's lacrosse, volleyball, etc etc. But those still weren't enough to 'level the playing field' in numbers so... men's gymnastics--gone. Men's wrestling--gone. And more, and more.
Now this.

I never really "got" feminism. All the woman I knew until about 1970 were treated with respect and liked their lives --- mostly. Then a few disgruntled lesbians who really wanted to be men came up with new rules for women to live by or they weren't considered cool and had to sit at the loser table.
This was as evil as the serpent tempting Eve with the forbidden fruit! The innocent women who bought into it are often less than happy when they look back.
The biggest mistake is telling a man he doesn't have to do something ... like take care of his own kids, do the heavy lifting, etc. ... to which the average guy will say, Ok ... do it yourself. This is (most of the time) a detriment to both the guy & the gal.

Question for the complaining parents of these real women swimmers: why do you continue to pay thousands of dollars to send your kids to a University that would sanction this crap??? The only way to beat the scourge that is now most universities is to stop feeding them money. For the life of me, I don't get why parents with decent morals and common sense continue to fund these organizations that are determined to destroy the values of their children.
