Dylan Mulvaney Slams Backlash Over Her Transition—'I'm Not Some Monster' Share
Twenty years ago, my father, Irish author Jack Holland, wrote a book called Misogyny: the World's Oldest Prejudice. It's a sweeping look at how hatred and fear of women has been a part of nearly every society in human history. The need to control women's sexuality, women's voices and women's power have been a feature of societies from Victorian England to Afghanistan under the Taliban to ancient Greece and Rome. "What history teaches us about misogyny can be summed up in four words: pervasive, persistent, pernicious and protean," my father wrote in 2006, in his last work before he died.
I have to admit that when he wrote it, I didn't understand the urgency of the subject. Back then, I was certain that we were past the worst of the crimes against women, at least in the West.

I compare it black face in the old minstrel shows (i.e., an over-the-top send-up of the most extreme stereotypes). The male-to-female tranny will big hair, big makeup, big nails and a big chest essentially satirizes the likes of Dolly Parton. There’s absolutely a misogynistic component to this.
this was a good read.
Now, with the "trans" delusional ideaology, it's on steroids.
They want to erase biological women and make them irrelevant.
I believe that actual women are a constant reminder to the trans / homos that their entire existence is a fraud.
Linda like serial killers who hate their moms and kill women who look like them.
Kinda like, not Linda like. Ugh.
Back in the day, any psychiatrist worthy of the name would tell you that homosexuality is based on the hatred of women.
(My stepdad [deceased] went to med school in the 1940’s; he kept his textbooks and his psychiatry textbook stated that plainly and also pointed out that homosexuals has a shorter lifespan than heterosexuals.)
It’s really weird because they would not be if a real women didn’t give birth to them.
Any sane person can see it.
But, their whole ideology is built on a foundation of delusions and lies, so...
Newsweek is really publishing some good, and varied, pieces. This is one of them.
