Entitled men who think they should have unfettered access to high paying jobs by forcing women out of the labor force. This was the reasoning of labor unions when they proposed the "family wage" idea early in the 20th century. The sole reason for it was to kick women out of the labor force because of the belief their participation lowered men's wages and standard of living. Ruinous, evil concept. Male pay has ALWAYS been inflated for that reason, not because the jobs are "better," which way too many feminists past and present seem to think. It is because of the notion they are "providers for families" while women are mere dependents. That is why when women dominate a field, the pay and prestige go down.
Sometime back the NYT had an article about nurses and the proposal the pay would go up if more of these laid off dudes from blue-collar fields would train into it. NOBODY asked the obvious question of WHY the pay should go up just because somebody has a dick? Why SHOULD the pay go up simply because more men would do it?

The notion women are inferior dies very hard. There are still millions of people who still believe in such a thing as a "male" or "female" brain. They get completely screwed up by confusing sex roles ("gender") with sex. Furthermore, many white men still believe in it because it keeps them on top of the privileged pile while closing off opportunities for women.
The "nature v. nurture" debate was settled many, many years ago. Sex roles are nurture, sex is nature.
The end.

We are living in Orwellian times. This is coming from the so-called "left," and it is pernicious.

There is too much whitewashing of the late George I. We need to talk a little bit at least of facts.
The WSWS eviscerates the late president here.

An "official" obituary for actor Wright King, who died at the age of 95 on November 25, is here.
King was born on Jan. 11, 1923, in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. He graduated from a high school in Mount Vernon, Illinois, and won a scholarship to the St. Louis School of Theatre before enlisting in the U.S. Navy in 1943. He was on a ship headed for Japan when World War II was declared over._____
King hitchhiked from Mount Vernon to New York City and got a job playing Aladdin for eight months — at $35 a week — in a national theater production that catered to children. Later, he worked for the Yiddish Art Theatre.
After Streetcar closed on Broadway in 1949, King played the newspaper collector in a short run at the City Center in New York. "Two days later, I got a call; [Kazan] wanted me for the film," he said. "I never wanted to be a movie star, but I sure wanted to be in that movie.
"Kazan was wonderful, but he liked to manipulate his actors to get what he wanted. At one point, he got me very disoriented and confused on the set, the camera was rolling, and that's the shot he used."
Emile Ratelband lost his bid to have 20 years shaved off his legal age.
He plans to appeal:
Ratelband was undeterred by the court’s rejection and vowed to appeal. “This is great!” he said. “The rejection of {the] court is great … because they give all kinds of angles where we can connect when we go in appeal.”
He said he was the first of “thousands of people who want to change their age”.
Ridicule is one of the most powerful weapons against political opponents, especially those holding such a nonsensical idea as "transgenderism."

Sexist and degenerate to the core, queer theory was one of the worst things that ever came down the pike. It should be barred from all college campuses. And "libertarianism" isn't freedom at all.
