There’s power in language

Yep, liberals believe that language is more dangerous than actual actions.

Berzerkley at its very best.

I notice the media thinks “gunman” is fine.

Focusing on the important things and preparing kids for the real, brutal world!! :)

They won’t last 5 minutes.

I guess that they have too much university education to know that “man” comes from the German and means “person/human being.” Its use to mean “male” is only from the 11th century. Nevertheless, the original generic meaning remains with the specific male meaning.

[IronJack]

Well, there are certainly no males in Berkeley to object.

So Berkley has solved all their homelessness and other issues, right?

Crap i hate what this country is becoming!

[Red Badger]

It keeps them busy, for a while...................

[Starboard]

Get back to your Man Cave. ;)

[Scrambler Bob]

Identifying as plural, comes in handy during vote harvesting, etc.

[morphing libertarian]

nice MANeuver

[SkyDancer]

There are so many they’d be at it for decades and still be the hypocrites they are; they show their stupidity every time they either say or do something. They’re a laughingstock for the rest of the country.

[exPBRrat]

Just more ‘newspeak’ nonsense.

[faturism]

Well now that they have solved the poop problem, homeless problem, drug needles on the ground problem................... The are also banning natural gas..these geniuses think that “natural” gas means cow farts. It’s a world gone mad

[BTerclinger]

AOC-holes.

[faturism]

Killing fields.......cinemax today 11;30

[Two Kids' Dad]

Absolutely not. They’ll only be allowed to celebrate the contributions made by xx-persons and those individuals of color that had involvement in what some call the “moon landing”. The white male patriarchy must not be allowed credit for anything of value, nor any non-negative recognition of any kind.

It’s pretty frightening how far afield the leftists freaks have gone. Even worse, that we know they plan to go further. Buckle up.

[C210N]

This story would appear to be unmanagable. The left is just manufacturing issues to manipulate conservatives and manifest in mandatory maneuvers to mangled things too many to even mention.

[AppyPappy]

Double male-centric
