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 we the people better become activists, agitators, because if we just sit on our asses and wait for the next election we’ll get steamrolled. Elections hardly matter anymore, especially when we win.
I also appreciated Shapiro’s contrast between the rights of Springsteen, et al to refuse to perform in traditionalist North Carolina and those same activists’s demands that Christian bakers must cater homosexual weddings despite their religious convictions. Hypocrisy? Absolutely. But this anarchistic madness is backed by the government gun.
stupid auto correct on ipad.
You are right...that was an excellent comparison. Thanks for the reminder.
“”If every father of a daughter and every husband of a wife left the seat lid down with urine dribbled all over it and a puddle on the floor of the women’s room this nonsense would end post haste.””
Don’t count on it! There would be a movement to furnish cleaning materials to every female entering who had a complaint. I can’t even come up with a word that would label the complainer but they would find one.
We are not going to see any common sense solutions to any of the most recent stupid, ridiculous, insane actions on the part of the leftists! We are just going to see more of them - things that our imaginations couldn’t even begin to conjure up. They’re making us all as nuts as they are.
“”Though I don’t understand some of his recent personal decisions Ben is still a good writer.””
Isn’t he the guy who encouraged that news gal to press charges against Trump’s right hand man and left Breitbart because they wouldn’t back her? Someone else has to be writing the articles for him that reek of logic and common sense if that is the same guy. He didn’t have any of either in that news gal’s complaint!
That’s a good point.
You don't want to know about the third world.
This cultural depravity will end as the era of Clinton/Obama cultural Marxism fades away. Americans do not want this crap.
Some small businesses are merely putting signs that read “Bathroom”, the bathroom is a one person unit.”””
IF I owned a commercial building, I would REMODEL.
I would take the multi unit bathrooms and turn them into my new and spacious SUPPLY room.
I would take the small closet that I currently use for cleaning supplies & vacuums, etc, and turn that into a ONE PERSON bathroom.
While this remodeling was going on-—and I WOULD take my sweet time with it-—I would bring in Porta Potties & have them serviced at least once a week. Probably would try to do this in the winter, so lost time out in the Porta Potty would be kept at a MINIMUM. TOO COLD to dawdle-—something I learned at the one room school I attended for grade school......
Old age & treachery works every time.......and I am 76.
Thanks for the heads up as I am traveling to Greece and Crete in June. I will make sure to, ahem, take care of things before I leave the cruise ship.
Celebrate perversity!
Yep, that’s little Ben Shapiro, Michelle Field’s boy toy.
Problem with your plan is codes, for x number of occupants the building must have y number of bathrooms
Can people not talk about their pee pees for 5 mins.? That’d be nice. Apparently - not.
Saw you on Alex!!! Awesome!
All it takes for the NBA and the NFL to cave to the PC police are two transgenders, 6 liberal activists and 20 lawyers. The squeaky wheel gets the oil.
They don’t want to lose business or alienate potential customers.
Until the 99% of regular people protest and get angry they won’t care and they won’t listen.
When they find out that 95% of their fans disagree with their knee jerk PC stance and refuse to go to their games or buy merchandise or watch it on TV, then and only then will they change their tune.
