Barr can't compel blue states to do what he wants. This is just an intimidation tactic.

No surprise so many female-dominated jobs are considered "essential."
It doesn't translate into higher pay because women don't have dicks between their legs and thus are considered "providers for families."

Jim Bakker is on the ropes thanks to the fallout from his peddling the quack Silver Sol on his program back in February. A group is pushing AT&T to pull his program off platforms like DirectTV.
Faithful America began a signature-petition campaign last month to demand that TV platforms like DirecTV, DISH Network and Roku dump Jim Bakker’s show, calling it "dangerous and misleading" in a time of pandemic.
Faithful America gathered some 13,000 signatures, mainly from Christians fed up with Bakker's "coronavirus misinformation," said campaigns director Rev. Nathan Empsall, an Episcopal priest, in a Thursday interview with the News-Leader.
"It’s a religious issue for us," Empsall said Thursday, not a political one.
"Christians are sick of seeing their scriptures distorted and our faith hijacked," he said, "and of hearing the coronavirus talked about in Old Testament plague terms and misleading terms with Jesus's name."
Empsall said one of the seven DirecTV channels contacted by AT&T, World Harvest Television, told him earlier this week it would no longer carry Bakker's show after conferring with its communications law attorney, but the News-Leader was not able to independently confirm the information late Friday.

What I want to know is where they find these idiots to run for public office:
“There are more important things than living, and that’s saving this country for my children and grandchildren and saving this country for all of us,” Texas's GOP Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said. https://t.co/aOWXuockzD— The Hill (@thehill) April 21, 2020

Excellent, excellent piece about how the Idaho sports law protecting women-only sports competition is the right thing to do:
Furthermore, this sex-difference isn’t about socialization or effort; it is about biology. Male physiology (muscle mass, greater hemoglobin, bone strength, hip shape, lower fat composition) is exceptionally advantageous for sport. As others have noted, the fastest female of all time has her world record beaten every year by high school boys. If sports were not sex-separated, there would be almost no college athletes, no professional athletes, and zero Olympic athletes for the vast majority of sports (e.g., track, swimming, tennis, basketball, soccer, cycling, ice skating racing, and so on). For female athletes to gain benefit from competitive sport, including the possibility of being on teams and winning occasionally, sports must be sex-separated. This is not debatable.
Enter gender. In recent years, we have seen various countries and U.S. jurisdictions pass or tacitly allow gender self-identification as a replacement for sex in a variety of arenas including sports. Many of these bills and efforts no doubt have good intentions, but they are misguided.
Gender (identity) is not a synonym for sex. People who are transgender experience a “sex-gender mismatch,” but they still have a sex, and it is on that basis that they are transgender. People should not be discriminated against on the basis of gender, and transgender people deserve full human rights. There is, however no “human right” to opposite-sex provisions. In other words, maintaining sex-based rights is not discriminatory against people of the opposite sex (including transgender people).
Excellent article. I look forward to her examination of the ruinous Equality Act, which would make sex-segregation illegal.
