I believe 'Unisex' should never be used anywhere. We all know what it means but it has a tendency to fake out the brains of the younger generation. This may be part of the problem with the sexual confusion in todays children. Of course some of parents are advocating this.
Absolutely, yes. Those pushing the ideology, from within the institutions, that is. The masses, so addicted to being politically correct, are just plain stupid to be going along with it all.
Not all the masses, fortunately, but we don’t hear about those who don’t drink this Kool-Aid. The politically correct, in line with Big Pharma-funded corporate media, have been lulled into not thinking critically about anything. Boggles the mind!
"Those pushing the ideology, from within the institutions, that is"
Exactly, and what is the ideology that has successfully taken over all of those institutions for the last few decades? Nothing comes from out of nowhere, including so called 'gender ideology'.
I've noticed very few people who are openly critical of 'gender ideology' today are prepared to admit that it's just the logical (and ass-achingly predictable) destination of feminist ideology. In fact 'gender ideology' is basically just the next wave of feminism.
It was feminism that has spent the last century promoting (a parody of) cross-sex identity/ behaviour/ lifestyles as well as a 'social construct theory of gender'. Modern day 'gender ideology' is the fruit, feminism is the tree.
It was the feminists who first declared women and men to be essentially interchangeable (ie hormones, muscle mass, sexuality, reproductive equipment make no difference apparently). It was feminists who claimed traditionally feminine attitudes, feelings, behaviour and lifestyle choices were socially constructed and if we just raised women to be more like men there would be no 'fixed' gender roles in society.
The blank slate/ affirmation model of teaching and parenting that we see today is just about putting decades of feminist ideology into practice, and applying it to children. It was feminism, after all, which convinced women to give up the role of motherhood ('demeaning') and throw their kids to the wolves (daycare/ state schools/ in front of the TV) so they could go and have a 'fulfilling career' dressing up in a suit every day and working in an office with all the men (and paying taxes too - which are then spent on indoctrinating the abandoned children with even more feminism/ gender ideology).
The same women who cheered when every single male space was invaded and taken over by women (in the name of 'equality') are now appalled and outraged over changing rooms being infiltrated by trans women.
The same women who flocked to see movies with petite women beating up men all the time with a sense of glee are now appalled and outraged at trans women winning gold in women's sports with the exact same sense of glee.
The same women who championed The Pill (an endocrine disrupter) and how it allowed women to adopt a more masculine sexual lifestyle (or at least a grotesque a parody of it), are now outraged and appalled at endocrine disruptors being given to teens.
Feminists spent the last century erasing the boundaries between the genders in our minds, our attitudes and our culture. And despite owning the narrative on gender related issues (as well as all the institutions from schools to the UN) they did absolutely nothing to outlaw genital mutilation of boys which is still practiced widely in the west.
And now - all of a sudden - they are moaning that there are no boundaries between men and women any more, that genital mutilation is wrong and that cross sex hormones are wrong... and it's all men's fault.
But we need to understand that men are absolutely powerless to challenge any of this because all of it is being done under than banner of 'care' (of the female variety - ie unconditional love and acceptance), which is another strategy invented by feminists. As long as you frame your policy objective or social engineering in the feminine principle of maternalistic 'care' anybody who challenges you can be framed as 'not caring'.
This is perhaps the most dangerous legacy of feminism. While modern post-feminist women have eschewed the role of mother and carer, governments, technocrats and 'philanthropists' have taken on that role for themselves, which means they all get to occupy the moral high ground and they get to define all opposition as a 'threat to our our children's safety and wellbeing'.
None of this would have been possible if women had rejected feminism and continued to occupy that primary role of mother and carer in society.
I am open to suggestions on how we could have abandoned traditional gender roles WITHOUT ushering in a Brave New Word of non binary children, artificial wombs and transhumanism (which is where this is all heading).
I guess I am just bored with all this pearl clutching over 'the insanity' of current woke policies. It's not insane, it's not stupid, it's not political correctness gone mad. It's 100% cold, calculated and entirely logical. The social engineers don't want gender, natural reproduction, families, pair bonding or parenthood any more (except perhaps for themselves). They want a genderless population of dumbed down worker drones, with reproduction carried out by artificial wombs and 'parenting' carried out by AI.
Feminism/ gender ideology is just the most suitable ideologies to get us to that end point. I really don't see what else needs to be said on the matter. Either we embrace our biological (mammalian) roles again and start pair bonding, being stay at home mothers, being traditional provider/ protector fathers, homeschooling etc .... or we lose all of it.
Gender identity and roles (sexual dimorphism) are really no different to muscle mass and overall fitness. Either we use it or we lose it. Trying to 'defeat gender ideology and woke culture' is like trying to regain health using liposuction. It's not addressing the root problem. It's not actually promoting health.
It's easy to criticise and even oppose all the 'gender madness' in the world right now, but I still don't see that many people actually promoting natural biological gender (is there any other kind?) because that is still actually regarded as regressive. The idea that a mother actually needs to sacrifice her career (and create a suitable stable home with a loyal partner) in order to properly raise children is still regarded as an extreme lifestyle option, not a basic necessity (and social responsibility). Thanks to decades of feminism, we have literally stopped VALUING gender, especially female gender. So called 'gender ideology' is just filing the void that feminism hollowed out, that's all. The social engineers love to destroy a thing first, so they can then replace it with their stupid artificial version of it.
The gender critics accuse trans women (specifically those who behave outrageously in public and make headlines) of 'caricaturing women' (woman face), but the deeper truth is that the 'modern empowered woman' (a creation of feminism) is ALSO a two dimensional caricature of a woman. The influencer, the gym thot, the only fans girls, the plastic celebrity women - they are all doing 'woman face' too. The influencers who promote stay at home motherhood, home baking, chickens, goats, vegetable gardens, family life, pair bonding with men are not only rare, they are ridiculed and spat on by feminists for still being under patriarchal mind control, or for being 'pick me's'. Feminists want the status that comes with womanhood, but without actually embracing womanhood itself. To be a feminist is to impose upon oneself a kind of 'trans' identity. 'Feminist angst' was. always a kind of mild gender dysphoria.
The current spearhead of the so called 'gender critical' movement is mostly composed of 2nd/ 3rd wave feminists (while the majority of their fellow feminists continue to push 'gender ideology' and 'social construct theory'). The feminists who are gender critical seem to just be outraged and appalled that there is a new class of victim (trans men and trans women) who now get all the special treatment, attention and resources that were once reserved just for them!
Feminists are literally the ones who got us to this place to begin with. They are the ones who originally defined 'gender' as the root cause of all of society's ills (real or imaginary). If gender is the problem and 'gender equality' is the goal, then erasing gender altogether and making it totally arbitrary and meaningless is the logical solution. Feminism was always demanding the abolishment of gender. Now we have the technology and drugs to carry out that demand.
For these reasons I propose feminists and their ideology might in fact be a part of the problem. And until we address this, and dismantle a century of feminist propaganda, piece by piece, the agenda will just keep marching on.
This is quite the essay, PRC. I'm wondering why it's not a post on your own Stack, as I see you've published a couple of articles. This is too good to be buried here in a comments section. (I agree fully with your hypothesis and all supporting details.)
Not to mention that the people who shout MY BODY MY CHOICE when it comes to abortion have no problem with mandated vaccines. And vice versa -- conservatives who advocate "medical freedom" draw the line at abortion. Go figure.
For the record, I don't condone any kind of sexual surgeries on children, and I believe in medical freedom, including a woman's right to choose abortion.
Probably an unpopular opinion here in the US, but I don't think parents should be allowed to remove the perfectly healthy foreskins of their sons, either. Circumcision is painful, traumatic & utterly unnecessary. It destroys proper sexual function whereby the male foreskin facilitates static contact between itself & the skin inside the female vagina, basically acting as a sleeve inside which the erectile tissue moves independently. This design minimizes the friction that often results in pain for the female.
I learned this 34 years ago. I never knew the sex of any of my four children, but I told my former husband I would not have a circumcision done if we had a boy. He didn’t agree with me. I went to the University library and brought home a few books on the topic. He then agreed. I ended up having 4 daughters!
I was reading Mothering Magazine in the 80’s & 90’s. They were exposing the harms of circumcisions, fluoride treatments, childhood vaccines, hospital births and more.
The medical evidence is usually enough to overcome cultural conditioning, but it gets much more contentious when dealing with religious dictates. I don't believe religious freedom should include subjecting your children to removal of genital tissue or any other procedure that permanently alters the body, but there are religious people who disagree with me vehemently.
I have three sons. the first is not circumcised; thankfully HIS father was agreeable.
I WISH my other two were not but THEIR father insisted. (half brothers of my first). one of the dumbass arguments that I allowed to sway me was that it would be confusing for the boys to not 'look like' other boys who were. okay, well, my first husband (with whom I never had any children - it was not a long marriage) was not circumcised and I did not notice that he 'looked' any different 'down there'.
another BS argument I have heard was something about hygiene. I'm sorry but I find it difficult to believe that God/Nature would select for male body parts that were inherently 'unhygienic'. my 91 yr old father is also not circumcised and obviously it hasn't caused him to die of poor hygiene.
me too :( I was in an abusive relationship with the father of my two youngest and choosing my battles at the time, regrettably didn't have me up for that one.
This is a conversation that a lot of people don't want to have because ultimately it's going to involve telling a particular religious/ethnic community that their First Amendment rights don't actually supercede the rights of their children to bodily autonomy! Personally, I think the kids should reach AT LEAST the age of consent before having the opportunity to express their OWN personal religious freedom in this way if they so choose.
Normal teenage angst and identity crisis (I remember it well) has now been monetised under the invention of gender disphoria in a frightening way. You've hit the nail on the head with putting that side-by-side with the FGM outrage.
I only know one person who thinks that any of this gender messing about on kids is acceptable. I have ONE friend (we are in our early 60's) who thinks kids can be 'trans'. she bases her belief on the fact that a mutual gay male friend knew he was 'different' at a young age. I counter that I'm pretty confident that he doesn't regret not having his penis removed. said gay friend is incensed by parents cross-dressing their children - he thinks its sickening and HE used to do drag in his 20's! (he considered it artistic expression and not a lifestyle). it seems like gays in our age group do NOT support this 'trans agenda'. funny that the friend that DOES seem to support it, was a victim of incest as a small child. not sure how that figures in but I do find it kinda strange, psychologically.
Brilliant, Anne!
Thank you, Jenny!
I've written it before, but you should seriously consider having t-shirts with your most popular pieces.

I believe 'Unisex' should never be used anywhere. We all know what it means but it has a tendency to fake out the brains of the younger generation. This may be part of the problem with the sexual confusion in todays children. Of course some of parents are advocating this.
Good point!
unisex
adjective
: not distinguishable as male or female
And they are so utterly STUPID that they can't see the irony staring back at them in the mirror.
Stupid, blind, bought & paid for — all of the above?
Absolutely, yes. Those pushing the ideology, from within the institutions, that is. The masses, so addicted to being politically correct, are just plain stupid to be going along with it all.
Not all the masses, fortunately, but we don’t hear about those who don’t drink this Kool-Aid. The politically correct, in line with Big Pharma-funded corporate media, have been lulled into not thinking critically about anything. Boggles the mind!

They don't care, there is a plan behind this.
“They” meaning the perpetrators? I imagine the oblivious would care if they had a clue!
Ugh… the ACLU…. Make that the AACLU… anti civil….
Yes!!! They don’t deserve their name anymore! What they’re doing these days makes a mockery of civil liberties.
the ACLU was all about supporting the covid mandates... just sayin'
Supporting a mandate is hardly supporting civil liberties….the hypocrisy is comical..
right?! absolutely mind boggling!
Not to mention that the people who shout MY BODY MY CHOICE when it comes to abortion have no problem with mandated vaccines. And vice versa -- conservatives who advocate "medical freedom" draw the line at abortion. Go figure.

(just my two cents)
Having my son circumcized is one of my biggest regrets in life.
me too :( I was in an abusive relationship with the father of my two youngest and choosing my battles at the time, regrettably didn't have me up for that one.
So terrible that this has become standard procedure, along with childhood jabs, flu shots, etc. Thank you for sharing this info, Magdalene!
This is a conversation that a lot of people don't want to have because ultimately it's going to involve telling a particular religious/ethnic community that their First Amendment rights don't actually supercede the rights of their children to bodily autonomy!

*First Amendment rights to freedom of religious expression*
I would love to get inside the head of one these Progressives who sees this.
Truly! How do they wrap said heads around the contradiction?
I bet'cha they don't really think about it. Just I believe this, I believe that, they never pay attention to the contradiction.
That practice of cutting should never happen again on all of EARTH!!! What horror!!!! Thank you for posting!
Yes! Cutting of all kinds, by cultures and cults!
The hypocrisy is mind blowing
A cartoon is worth a thousand words.
The first word that comes to my mind is :
Hypocrites.
Beautifully stated May I 2nd that ?
You may !!
Gotta share this 1 (gem of a meme)
I look forward to it!
Normal teenage angst and identity crisis (I remember it well) has now been monetised under the invention of gender disphoria in a frightening way. You've hit the nail on the head with putting that side-by-side with the FGM outrage.
Thank you, Joshua!
I wish they'd stop cutting the sex parts off of helpless kids, and stop pricking us all to dammmm death.
I only know one person who thinks that any of this gender messing about on kids is acceptable.
