It doesn't come much better than this. A candidate for school superintendent won and was offered the position. Then had it rescinded. Why? Easthampton is rallying around a superintendent finalist who said his offer to lead the city’s public schools was rescinded after he referred to women as “ladies” in an email — an act some school committee members reportedly viewed as a microaggression. https://www.boston.com/news/schools/2023/04/04/easthampton-school-committee-rescind-superintendent-candidate-offer-ladies/

Are you suggesting it's wrong to judge your opinions based on what you write? You are not making weather predictions based on meteorology but on astrology.

You don't get to make that decision for women. All of this is unrelated to the points I made that unweaving support for 'the law', 'the environment' and 'trade' are not intelligent or logical. But the decisions on environmentalism, trade and law are made by these people. And rarely in the best interests of the environment, trade or justice.

Again, this has nothing whatsooever to do with or addresses anything I wrote. You seem to be arguing with yourself and drawing on a well of anti-male prejudice which appears to run pretty deep.

No, it's not. Conservatives don't favor the rights of a tiny minority who are mainly suffering from mental disorders over the safety and security of half the population. And aren't they now? I disrespect our legal system because it has clearly become ideologically tainted to such an extent it cares more about social justice than real justice. A lot of conservatives feel the same way. I care about the environment, but don't tell me that increasing energy costs which hobble our economy and drive industry to other countries is good for the environment when the goods are simply produced elsewhere by energy which is dirtier and with fewer pollution controls. I believe in trade but not being suckered by countries that ignore international trade rules like China does.

Nothing you said has any meaning nor addresses anything I said.

Why would you want to debate with conservatives if YOU are a conservative? Wouldn't you want to debate with liberals and socialists?

That's okay. I never took you seriously. When I saw your name I thought "Yeaaaah, I bet." I mean, you can't even get your tenses right. This is not a prediction of tomorrow. It's a statement of fact of today. And everything I wrote is proveable.

And what? Left without interference governmental and societal interference to degrade it more natural aggressiveness of males will cause them to dominate most industries and businesses, make more money, and control politics. Women have to be 'encouraged' to enter certain professions, given special help, have quotas provided for them, etc. There are women in professions like the military, policing, fire, EMTs, etc. because of quotas, not because they're as good as men. Very few are. Fifty percent of the Liberal cabinet are women because Trudeau made a quota, not because they care about merit. The government browbeats businesses to put more women in the boardrooms and pressures universities through grants to push forward more women in STEM fields even though women don't want to go into those fields to nearly the extent men do.

I dare you to list three qualities of Trump.

It's also unprovable that a 250lb man with a penis is a woman. Hence, it's simply they and you say it.

No. The most expensive homes in Ottawa generally go for maybe $5-$8m, and more than half the value of that is the land. If you can build a huge, freaking house for a couple of million dollars (minus the land cost) why do you need $38m to build one for the PM?

It's not that historic. It's only been used as a PM's home since 1951. And unlike the White House it is not an office or a place for entertaining.

It's only relatively rare in that it crossed the border from conservative news. Most such attacks are ignored by the mainstream media, and so yes, go unnoticed. Just like most violence, incl racial violence perpetrated by racial minorities is ignored.

Dude, if I can say "I'm a woman" and just for the hell of it go explore womens changing rooms and join a women's sports league it's not hard won. Who says it's social progress that we have 250lb men beating up 150lb women in sports leagues? Many would call that social regression. Who says it's progress that a hairy, bearded man can stand in a women's change room with an erection and ogle the women because he SAYS he's a woman? Many would call that perversion.

You can call 'gender' a societal or cultural construct all you want. There are separate women's spaces and sports leagues not because of their gender but because of their biological sex.

There's only an 'open debate' where mobs go at each other, as in the mobs of parent screaming at school boards vs the mobs of trans supporters screaming at them. As we saw with the OP (and another story I posted today) an individual who tries to speak on the issue doesn't get very far. And notably, in the UK and US there are opposition parties that push back against it. Canada's Conservatives are, I think, far too desperately fighting against the idea they might be conservative to dare oppose trans rights.

Why people are being silent. Hint: It's not agreement and 'disdain'. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/the-rise-of-the-mob-and-the-new-woke-crusades

Hard-won identity? How hard is it to win an identity when all you have to do is say "I'm a woman now" as you barge into the ladies room?

It is both. And always has been.

It harms a much greater segment and there's a lot of weight pushing back at it. World Athletics has banned transgender women from competing in elite female competitions if they have gone through male puberty, the sport's governing body said on Thursday. World Athletics votes to exclude transgender women athletes Following extensive stakeholder engagement and a systematic review of evidence, England’s National Health Service (NHS) has issued new draft guidance for the treatment of gender dysphoria in minors, which sharply deviates from the “gender-affirming” approach. The previous presumption that gender dysphoric youth <18 need specialty “transgender healthcare” has been supplanted by the developmentally-informed position that most need psychoeducation and psychotherapy. https://segm.org/England-ends-gender-affirming-care After months of debate and scrutiny, the bill was met warmly, passing through parliament 86 to 39, and called “a big step forward” by LGBTQ+ advocacy groups.That was until earlier this month, when the U.K. government vetoed the bill. https://time.com/6250646/united-kingdom-scotland-transgender-bill/

If you are going to accept one definition of that word you need to also accept the other. either of the two main categories (male and female) into which humans and most other living things are divided on the basis of their reproductive functions.

Another example of cancel culture. This one the determination of what I can only guess is some kind of spurned 'friendzone' guy to get revenge against an attractive woman who rejected him by smearing her as a white supremacist. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/jamie-sarkonak-the-revenge-of-caylan-ford-after-hit-job-ended-her-political-career

Your understanding of what it costs to make and then distribute and advertise these movies needs more... knowledge. The worldwide gross for Black Widow across all markets is some $375,474,179. That’s just short of its two-times production budget for starters. In relative terms, Black Widow had the highest domestic monthly earnings (including the biggest Fri-Sun debut) since Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker ($173 million) in December 2019. Granted these are reasonable numbers for a film limping through the Autumn of a global pandemic – but they still don’t stack up. With second-weekend earnings seeing a 69% plunge – almost unheard of for a Marvel film. https://bombreport.com/black-widow/
