Peak Smug Male Jumps In to Lecture Women Who Know More About It Than He Does And Have Vastly More At Stake Than He Does chapter 87 billion.

Oh, gee, thank you, Peak Smug Male; as if we hadn’t already done that and only been punished for it anyway.
Says Peak Smug Male who has nothing to lose in this dispute, in sharp contrast to women who have so fucking much to lose.

How sad for you. We’re so bored with [n.b. not “of”] being told what to do by people who don’t lose anything when men take women’s jobs and titles and spaces and changing rooms and competitions and prizes.

Even though some of them are? Why cannot we? Who put you in charge?

    WTF is more “impolite”?

    (1) Recognizing that a man is the sex he actually is? or

    (2) Men forcing themselves on women in every conceivable instance where sex matters?

    Man thinks about complex ongoing issue for 30 seconds, does no research, ‘solves’ issue in his own mind and declares others stupid and wrong. Having achieved such great success, for his next act of public service he will solve the Middle East problem, and then before dinner the Ukro-Russian war. If only there was a word for this designed to give men a moments pause for thought.

    It’s the old failure to recognize the original breach of “politeness”, the original offense. No matter what you may have inferred from parents’ saying they didn’t care who started it, who started it actually does matter. It’s the difference between offense and defense.

    I rather blame the media for this, actually. The common response of someone who has only just now stumbled into this issue is to think that some firm, but polite truth telling will sort things out. The media failure is that Johnny Come Lately will have no idea that this has been tried over and over and over again with little success and significant losses.

    There is no need to be hostile and impolite. When a man who calls himself a woman wishes to use the men’s room, it is incumbent upon all of us fellows to be kind and accommodating.

    Also, is this where we talk about trans vegan death cults, or is that somewhere else?

    Bauckholt lived in New Jersey when the two met in 2022 at a rationalist group event in New York and was in her late 20s or early 30s.

    If they are representative members, the group doesn’t sound very rationalist. Well, maybe it identifies as rationalist.

    maybe it identifies as rationalist.

    Isn’t that all it takes? Or maybe…a passport. Yes, that’s it. A passport.
