The rules of bigotry, according to the left, represent a constantly shifting kaleidoscope of nonsense.
This week, we learned that if you don't want your small daughter sharing a restroom with a man who thinks he is a woman, you are a bigot; if you are a woman who is uncomfortable with a man who thinks he is a woman whipping out his male genitalia to urinate in front of you, you are a bigot; if you are a religious person who doesn't want to participate in an activity you consider sinful, you are a bigot.
Conversely, if you are a man who thinks he is a woman and you want to force a small girl to pee next to you, you are a freedom fighter; if you are a large man who thinks he is a woman and you want to be one of the girls, right down to hulking into a Macy's ladies room, you are a hero; if you are a gay man and you want to force a religious person to serve you, you are a hero.
If all of this seems odd, that's because it is.
It's obviously logically incoherent, to begin with. The left insists that a man who believes he is a woman must be treated as one, even if his biology dictates that he is a male. However, if a man believes he is a man, he cannot discuss vital issues of national import (like abortion) since he lacks the vital prerequisite: a womb. Men cannot understand women, the logic seems to run, unless they are women.
But men cannot be women, of course, except in the fevered imaginations of people on the left. Even the left doesn't believe that: Leftists simultaneously want to enshrine unchangeable sexual differences (although, according to them, men and women are inherently and unchangingly different with regard to their abortion perspectives) and deny that these differences exist in the first place. (Caitlyn Jenner's twig and berries are irrelevant to the issue of gender, they say).
"This is nonsense," you say.
"Shut up," they say.
In the end, leftists don't have to be coherent -- they just have to control the government gun.
The baseline definition of freedom in Western Civilization has been this: You do not get to force me to serve you, and you do not get to force me to think the way you want me to think. As follows, you cannot force me to think that you are a woman if you are a biological man. You cannot force me to spend my taxpayer dollars to pretend along with your mental illness. You cannot force me to run my business as you see fit because I have no affirmative duty to you.
But the left doesn't believe in freedom -- except the freedom to destroy the right. Thus, leftists believe that Bruce Springsteen has an absolute right to cancel concerts in North Carolina, but that bakers in North Carolina can't stop baking wedding cakes for same-sex couples. The left believes that the government must compel elevated pay rates for women, but government should compel men to be treated as women based on their subjective feelings on the subject.
The kaleidoscope of leftist morality never stops shifting. But in the end, only one moral counts: the left's ultimate insistence on use of government force to compel obedience to their kaleidoscopic morality.
Well expressed.
Coincidentally, my daughter just joined a construction labor union and they got a porta pottie of her very own.
What is that noise I hear?
Oh that is Hillary cackling because she got conservatives talking about potty time instead of her corruption and scandals
We fell for it, again
The obvious solution is single-person toilets, with provision made for handicapped and their assistants. But it’s not about that. It’s about forcing normal people to go against the social norms they learned as children. Those social norms have nothing to do with religion or belief. They have everything to do with privacy, cleanliness, and the wishes of essentially all women in the world.
It’s not about religious beliefs, but the left thinks it is, and so they are obsessed with forcing us to conform.
People are fired from their jobs for expressing opinions. The country has become a fascist hellhole, destroying itself from the inside.
I am seeing more and more of this. I figured it out when I talked to a manager. He said that in Central and South America, the septic/sewer systems are so bad that only urine and feces go in the toilet. No one trusts the plumbers/sewer workers to show up on time and fix the problem, so its just easier to wipe your ass and throw the TP on the floor so the evil establishment owner will have to clean it. It is starting to be more common here in America. Disgusting.
Hear, hear.
When the government no longer provides safety and justice the the people will.
Ask the French rulers after the revolution how that worked out for them
Just wait till they make it mandatory. Just like they did with the ADA act.
It's coming, just watch. And we won't do a damn thing about it except text and post about it.
Pathetic country we have become.
ONLY meant as satire but with an element of truth of this sickness.
That is the easiest answer for all involved. Anyone building a new building with any kind of bathrooms in it should go for cramped, efficiency, one person units with locks.
This will continue until judges are afraid to go outside.
Really.
This is an extremely well written article and that quote is one of the kill shots in it. The final line is the other:
“The kaleidoscope of leftist morality never stops shifting. But in the end, only one moral counts: the left’s ultimate insistence on use of government force to compel obedience to their kaleidoscopic morality.”
I’ve noticed that there are no MASH reruns on any cable channel, despite the show being anti-war, pro-women’s rights, demanding respect for Asians, etc.
As if cross-dressing by a heterosexual guy was verboten.
Yep.
I work in Mexico 3 months of the year and they have wastebaskets for this. They don’t throw the paper on the floor. No wastebaskets in America (no need), so they throw it on the floor.
Really, I’ve seen worse in Greece, on the island of Create. In some areas, the water only runs a few hours a day, so they crap on top of crap and it’s a NIGHTMARE.
If leftist jackazzes want to call me a bigot for knowing the difference between right and wrong, men and women, and having common sense, I can live with that. It just sticks and stones, and I know how to break bones.
We have lots of muslims. I wonder how all this will play out when muslim women will be forced to share bathrooms with tranny males? I bet the media won't focus on that.
I think that there is a bigger event going on.
The Democrats are testing the nation to see how much we will accept.
NO, I won't agree and I also disagree that Globull Warming is settled "science".
I guess it's off to a Re-Indoctrination Camp for me. I'll send a forwarding address, once I get "my head on straight". /s
