I don’t think I saw this one last October.

    The Halloween costume comparison doesn’t work in their favor.

    Also, seeing suffrage colors used against women never fails to sicken.

    Got it.

    Now, what is your avoidance advice regarding trans tricks?

    Isn’t it? And adult, and public spirited, and pro-women, and thoughtful…the list is long.

    Is it supposed to be funny? Clever? I’m afraid that I simply don’t understand the joke, and/or the message.

    All I have to contribute to understanding this is that the stills are taken from the latest remake of Mean Girls.

    Scene:

    https://youtu.be/ei__hV1R7jo?si=q11giS97e6JUv0Hv&t=4

    Explanation:

    In the regular world, Halloween is

    when children dress up in costumes

    and beg for candy.

    In Girl World, Halloween

    is the one night a year

    when a girl can dress

    like a total slut

    and no other girls can

    say anything about it.

    The hard-core girls just wear lingerie

    and some form of animal ears.

    In the images above, a girl wearing “lingerie and some form of animal ears” (Karen) is berating the fish-out-of-water girl (Cady), who is apparently performing her femininity wrong by wearing a scary costume, like the boys do. The original dialogue for the second shot is “It’s Halloween.”

    The “National Women’s Law Center,” by positing Cady as a “TERF” in the sequence, is placing itself firmly on the side of Karen, that Halloween is for women dressing in sexualized and revealing clothing, and if women don’t do that, they’re doing it wrong.

    Ah, nice nested ironies then. Thank you.
