Sounds to me that she would be better off at a Law School that knows these differences.
What a world!
Group think has reached a point that monsters are being created and then replicated as time passes.
More monsters.
A monster?
A creation that is void of reason and acts solely upon animal instincts.
Get your pitch forks out.
Light your torch.
It’s gonna be a long night.
I realize that the young lady in this controversy is a law student in Canada, but in reading about her story it occurred to me that I can’t remember the last time I heard someone say “I can say what I want, it’s a free country”.
Honestly, when was the last time you heard that expression?
I fear we have all traveled back through time, and a cynical man named Pontius Pilate is asking; “What is truth?”
Orwellian – “In a time of universal deceit [NOW], speaking the truth is a revolutionary act.”
Maybe this is why real Americans bought 5.6 million guns in the first three months this year. Bullets are now harder to find than TP was last year.
Saw on Instapundit that a man was removed from Twitter b/c he tweeted that men cannot get pregnant.
In other news, the US womens four-times World champion girls’ soccer team, in April 2017, lost 5 – 2 to a Dallas FC under-15 year old boys soccer team.
Honestly, when was the last time you heard that expression?
“It’s a free country” was a phrase you heard so often ca. 1975 it was almost a cliché. I have no sense of when I last heard it. Ronald Reagan’s public rhetoric often included phrases like “we are free”, although I don’t recall ‘it’s a free country’ was his specific formulation, as he wasn’t in his speeches giving a statement of defiance to someone trying to impose on him. Reagan retired in 1989. In my lifetime, liberals have spoken of ‘free speech’ to the exclusion of almost every other kind of liberty, but have tended to favor a ‘rights’ discourse. Nowadays they’re against free speech as most of them are head cases and other opinions trigger acute emotional distress. Most of them are liars, too. You can’t actually argue that men are not stronger than women because it’s manifestly untrue; you can, however, sanction people who utter true things.

People forget Bobby Riggs defeated Margaret Smith Court, who was a better player than Billie Jean King. I believe there is a satisfactory argument that he threw the match with King in order to settle some gambling debts. Recall that at the time Riggs was 55 and King and Court were around 30.
Of course, we have gender-norming of performance scores in the military because women in the military have no strength and endurance deficits whatsoever.
The “student” is a 29 year old married mom of two from Dundee Scotland. I think she knows better.
Talk of expulsion on the internet, is an obvious ploy to instill fear in ANYONE who might to also speak the truth-
Princess Merida Lives!

“Boy, the way Glenn Miller played,
Songs that made the Hit Parade,
Guys like us we had it made,
Those were the days.
And you knew who you were then,
Girls were girls and men were men,
Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.
Didn’t need no Welfare state,
Everybody pulled his weight,
Gee, our old Lasalle ran great,
Those were the days!”

“People forget Bobby Riggs defeated Margaret Smith Court” using drop shots and lobs. It wasn’t won through strength.
Michelle Payne was the first and only female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup in 2015 (the most prestigious horse race in Australia and one of the most coveted in the world of horse racing). She took her Down syndrome brother as her strapper. The youngest of 11 children from a Catholic family, her mother died when she was 6 months old leaving the dad to raise them on his own. She suffered a fractured skull in 2004 during a riding accident, and recovered to climb to the top of her game.
“You know what?” Payne said. “It’s not all about strength, there is so much more involved, getting the horse to try for you, it’s being patient.”

He was a 55 year old man playing the best women’s tennis player in history. And we’re talking about a sport where men and women routinely play together. There have been in the last 70 years about two lady golfers who could hold their own on the men’s tour, about three in motorsports, &c.
So what how old he was. He didn’t beat her because he is physically stronger than her. He outskilled her in one match through clever shots. In one match. Therefore it doesn’t mean men are better at tennis than women. It means Bobby Riggs was better on that day in his match against Margaret Court.

She’s the best women’s tennis player in history. She had ample opportunity to be as clever as he was.
There’s a reason the professional competition is sorted into men’s and women’s events, bar the mixed doubles. There’s a reason men’s matches run for five sets and women’s for three. Why do you thing that is?
I don’t disagree about sorting the competitions into sexes. But you can’t really use examples of single matches to say who is better at a sport. Just because Riggs won a match against a female player, does not make him better or “stronger”. The 15year old soccer match has been brought up here- those young boys won one soccer match. I’d like to see those 15 year old boys consistently win over a professional women’s side over an entire season.
The lunacy of gender definitions doesn’t mean we have to start undermining the achievements of women in sport. And I’m
no feminist by any means.
And when it comes to being a person of Christian moral goodness and fearless in upholding her Christian convictions, then Margaret Court wins hands down. And that’s worth more than a match of tennis.
