'Joan of Arc is a female cultural icon': Backlash grows against Shakespeare's Globe Theatre for new play depicting Maid of Orleans as non-binary character with 'they' and 'them' pronouns
UK Daily Mail ^ | August 12, 2022 | Dan Sales

A new play about Joan of Arc, where she is non-binary and uses the pronouns 'they' and 'them', was today branded offensive and sexist by feminists. It is billed as 'questioning the gender binary' but academics have called it 'a violation of history'.

What a strange time we live in where I find myself supporting feminists. Women are getting assaulted on all fronts by the LGBT. One of the charges at the show trial for Joan of Arc was her wearing armor was cross-dressing as a man. Really disguisting one of the greatest women in history is being crucified on a cross of queer.

I wonder if these would be the same feminists who praised the actors portraying the Founding Fathers in Hamilton? Now they’re offended?

She was a girl. A 14 year old who went in and fought bravely and wisely. She had the Blessed Mother and St Michael as her guide and strength - her strength did not come from a sexual partner preference

And her strength did not come from her secretly being a man.

Feminism is so stupid. It prefers men

There are as many female saints as there are male saints. Many doctors of the Church are women.

The UK is terminally wounded and is no longer British.

American progressives are bound and determined to import all the badness to make us the same.

Now, since the FBI assault maybe the war can actually begin

The limeys always love to tear down Joan because if not for her, they would have ruled France.

She was also a Catholic saint. She wore men’s clothing to protect her chastity, not because she was “non-binary” or a lesbian. She was forced her to wear women’s clothing while in prison and some sources say she was raped as a result.

Even Mark Twain, who was an inveterate atheist and hater of all things Catholic, thought Joan of Arc was one of the most admirable and fascinating people who ever lived.

I’m surprised they’re not calling the lead character “J of Arc”. I guess that just didn’t occur to them.

Mark Twain was a huge admirer of Joan of Arc. Spent five years researching and writing his “biography” of Joan and said it was his best work. It is a shame he is not around to vaporize these fools with his wit.

There is hope. DC Comics recently took a seventy million dollar right-down (loss) on “Batgirl,” a movie that was already finished. They won’t even be releasing it to streaming services. The purported reason is that test audiences were so turned off by the movie’s woke content that the management thought it would so damage the brand the loss to the brand and future releases far exceeded the loss of just canning the movie. Trade magazines say they are likely to similarly lock up two more movies started under the previous woke management. This tells me that we’re about to see the pendulum of woke swing the other way. Once that happens I may once more watch standup comedians and perhaps even a movie or two. I stopped watching movies made after about 2010.

I did recently watch what must be the final Bond movie. They killed off James Bond, apparently, to replace him with a black woman who had a co-string role. I won’t watch her, not because she is black, or female, but because they went woke and killed off an iconic character in service of the trans, LGBT theology. It would have been fine if they’d made the woman a new spy character on her own. They didn’t because, like Star Wars, their intention was to destroy the male character and replace him. Well f@#$ them. I won’t give them my time or attention.

Incidentally, here’s bit of leaked script for the new black, female 007 movie.

“007 strides confidently into casino and elbow’s aside another patron at the craps table. Taking the dice, she tells a waiter.

“My name’s Shaliqua...Shaliqua Brown. My pronouns are ‘she’ and ‘her.’” Blowing on the dice and throwing them without looking she says, “Vodka martini with one of those cute monkeys on a stick.”

Croupier: “We have a winner. Congratulations, you now own the casino.”

Your comment is as trashy as the play.
