Yes! Long overdue. Push-back by normal people seems to be accelerating all over the country. I’m ecstatic that we are pushing back against the lunatic perverts who keep trying to throw 10,000 years of civilization and common sense in the shitter.

Is there a way to only protect the women who didn’t vote for this clown world and/or encourage this?

Actually, I was watching two female gymnasts who were in turn watching males do female routines on the uneven parallel bars, and they were soon impressed into silence. It seems that when it comes to feats of strength, women can’t compete with men on any level.

I read an article last month that women are losing out on athletic scholarships because of this insanity. Hopefully it’s turning them off the left.
