Wrong response. The correct response is to open a cigar lounge for the men.
What is next; women’s dorms?
As so often happens one thing gets shut down because of a complaint
Welcome to the abuse of Totle IX ladies
So a woman who identifies as a man would not be allowed in?
Oh, I see some money up in this humpybumpy
Yes. Finally someone that understands how to fight the commies.
Don’t complain about Target letting men in the ladies’ room. Demand that they rip out a couple of stalls and install urinals there for any guy who might be identifying female.
Shine a light on the hypocrites. Take the battle to them. Time to quit playing 4 corners defense.
Why close a useful room? Why not OPEN it to all sexes?
This is still a sexist violation of the law - the university is saying that if women can't have it for themselves alone, then no one can have it.
On the other side, academia and the government have been using "Title IX" (No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.) like an ax, caring naught for tradition nor logic.
I regard it as a good thing that the complaining professor teaches at University of Michigan rather than the in state rival, Michigan State University! Then again the female equivalent of the old boy's network (wary about doing the name) might take umbrage there.
if Professor Perry understood the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers as constitutional lawmakers had intended for those powers to be understood, then he would know that the post-17th Amendment ratification, vote-winning Titile IX is based on constitutionally nonexistent federal government powers imo.
More specifically, note that the only sex-related right that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect is voting rights as evidenced by the 19th Amendment, that amendment giving the feds the specific power to legislatively strengthen that right. But since the referenced women-only lounge clearly has nothing to do with voting rights, the women’s lounge is hands-off to the feds.
Also, note that the states have never delegated to the corrupt feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate schooling purposes.
In fact, previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified not only that powers that the states haven’t expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds are prohibited to the feds, but also that Congress is prohibited from appropriating taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, the power to regulate intrastate schools not among those powers.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
So the federal Title IX funds that Prof. Perry argues might be withheld from the university because of the women’s lounge are arguably state revenues that the corrupt feds stole from Michigan in the form of unconstitutional federal taxes.
The bottom line is that the women’s lounge seems to be based on constitutionally unchecked 10th Amendment-protected state powers.
Given the projected $5 trillion unconstitutional federal budget, note that the constitutionally powerful states would probably find trillions of dollars in extra revenues to spend if they grew some and eliminated the unconstitutional middle-man, the constitutionally-humbled federal government, as a phony source of revenue.
Remember in November !
Patriots need to support Trump by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes and repeal unconstitutional federal laws like Title IX.
Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
Cigar lounge for men. I like that.
Either have a male only lounge too, or no off limits lounges for anyone.
Let the libtards feel being hoisted on their own pitard.
You know they used to have places just for guys to relax, until women bitched and the powers that be said no.
MSU quietly closed it during summer break....wait til the 20,000 coeds get back in the fall.....there will be protests!
