“WOMEN’S GROUP” AS HATE GROUP: Funding for women’s group under review after call for ban on man-woman relationships. “The Quebec government says it will re-evaluate the $120,000 annual public funding it gives to the province’s biggest women’s federation after its president suggested that heterosexual relationships should be banned.”

This wasn’t a slip, except in the sense that the mask slipped.

A HUGE POSTER OF HER ILLUSTRATIONS HUNG OVER MY BED FROM AGE 11 to 17:  Barbara Remington, illustrator of Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, Dies at 90.

FRUITS OF THE TRANSGENDER REVOLUTION: “I imagine girls will drift back into not participating in competitive sports, which is the way it was when I was in high school. What’s the point anyway?”

Plus: “Today, the pressure to be empathetic toward transgenders is so great that I believe women, known for our empathy and our desire to appear compassionate, will let go of competitive sports and return to the inclinations that dominated back in the days when I went to high school. It’s a trade-off, a trade-off between the potential for athletic victory and the feeling of being kind and inclusive. The latter is something quite valuable and within the reach of all women. The former is a dream, and it’s only a dream for an elite few among women.”

So, traditional-gender-roles folks, you have the trans crowd to thank for returning us to the 1950s!
