Since I’m short on time and long on things to complain about, a round-up of the latest in liberal hypocrisy:
R. Stacy McCain offers a thorough trouncing of the Marxist ideology that passes for political discourse in Rep. Diane Watson’s office.
So-called feminists decry the basis of Title IX (i.e. sexual dimorphism is not a basis on which to deny women the ability to compete in athletics) in their rush to condemn anyone who would sex-test elite female athletes. Women have their own teams, competitions, events, and funding because we simply cannot compete alongside men. For example, our testosterone levels are normally between 15 and 70 ng/dL, whereas those of men are between 200 and 1200 ng/dL (here). This is not, and can never be, about gender or a social construct: it will forever be about biological distinctions and the need to ensure that women – real, biological women – have the opportunity to meaningfully compete in athletic events.
Just as women who have never decidated themselves to a sport can never understand the need for sex, not gender, rules in sports, modern “feminists” cannot understand why Women’s Studies will never be the equivalent of engineering or economics, no matter how obvious the results of such disparities.
Then again, these are the same people who view women – and their very lives – as nothing more than collateral damage in the war on America’s unborn. The New York Post, Mark Steyn, and Althouse have more.
One has to wonder why Republicans who engage in extramarital affairs are run out of office on the “hypocrisy” charge, but Democrats who engage in sexual assault, sexual harassment, and rape are excused on the basis of their political stances. One also cannot help but wonder if those who excuse Teddy Kennedy’s actions would trade places with Mary Jo Kopechne or subject themselves to sexual assault so that the Senator could have his career and abuse his women, too.
