I’m trying to visualize how this kind of insanity might have looked if it was in a different age. Prior to WWII there were social rules in the British army. Learning dressage (fancy horse riding) was a must. Okay, crazy and out of touch with the world in 1939 but it was tradition, so can probably be forgiven as an absolute MUST for some ranks. Another thing was, that if an officer got divorced, he was forced to resign his commission. An officer, a general I think, fighting in the jungle under General Stilwell, received an urgent message that his wife had filed for divorce and his resignation was required. He handed the message to General Stilwell who said he’d take care of it. Apparently, Stilwell penned a blistering reply essentially saying, kiss my butt, but in proper language. The regulation was changed.
In the near future the trans stupidity is going to make bell bottom pants and Nehru jackets look normal and stylish. The sexual mutilation surgeries, which would have resulted in prison sentences for doctors maybe just ten years ago will be viewed like lobotomies are today.
There’s a book titled, “The Madness of Crowds” which chronicles similar incredible insanity over the centuries. But even compared to some of that crazyness, the Tampons for men and trans idiocy will stand out as “Damn! What were they thinking?” Even eating Tide Pods seems rational in comparison.
Stillwell was an American general.
