President Joe Biden pulled out all the stops for International Women’s Day on Monday, but he arguably undercut women’s advancement while paying lip service to it. He issued a glowing statement about women’s empowerment, launched a Gender Policy Council, and signed an executive order barring “sex discrimination” — including discrimination on the basis of gender identity — in public schools.

“On International Women’s Day, we celebrate the achievements, contributions, and progress of women and girls in the United States and around the globe,” Biden declared. “My Administration is committed to honoring women by investing in their opportunity, security, and wellbeing.”

I am 72 years old with arthritis of spine and hip. My skeletal and muscle is good. I can kick the ass of a much younger female.
It is insanity for me to compete with a female, I am stronger and quicker.
We are just different and thank god for this. If we were all equal in all our qualities we would not be interested in each other. I am very interested in my wife post 27 years of marriage. LOL
When I was in high school, I would have been proud to stand in, uh, solidarity, with the female cheerleaders in the showers. And if they had wanted to shower with the guys, I’m positive they would have been welcomed with open arms. Among other things.
Do you think that the left’s open destruction of women is an influence of a religion from around the Persian Gulf?
