Thanks JL - as always a fine and essential read.

Auntie is spouting dangerously high levels of irony too:

Gender Identity Extremism and the plot to break reality ...

Thanks ,JL. Good news keeps us going and keeps our spirits up in the midst of all the woke madness which seems to have destroyed its believers' ability to think with anything approaching rationality ,logic or just plain common sense !! You're a star 🌟🌟🌟

There's a poster on Spinster who says there are no genes for intelligence on the Y chromosome. I'd love to know more about that! When I look at how my husband's stupidity has made him even more stupid (damaged himself with lack of physical activity), I can almost believe it. For all you sedentary types out there, you can get away with a lot if you're active; e.g., active smokers are healthier than inactive nonsmokers. Ditto, drinking; ditto, eating.

I really needed it after that POS in the women's room at supposedly the Target near Fenway in Boston, filming women, wanking, getting jizz on the floor, just disgusting. Not only are men convincing us of their irrationality, they are getting more disgusting by the day.

"Fifthly, there is the attempt to shut down debate: “She is a woman, she uses she/her pronouns, and any reference to her otherwise is offensive.” Gender ideologues are the ones who profess that usage of pronouns operates independently of the two biological sexes. If so, then a pronoun now operates much in the same way as other kinds of identities – such as, “I am a Democrat” or “I am Muslim.” Would we ever select someone for a sports competition based upon their religion?"

Ain't that brilliant? Wish I'd thought of it.

It's good to hear some good stories thank you.

It inspired me to write a very short wee rhyme to celebrate these strong women reaffirming their boundaries. (I hope noone minds)

Female Boundaries:

My body is my home,

you are not invited in.

My body is my castle,

my rights are mine to win.

My body is my temple,

take your worship from my door.

My body is my stronghold,

bright and bold I still endure.

This is about the boundaries that a female women has the right to claim, in my opinion.

They are physical, political, social and biological.

And plus there's probably other types of boundaries too :)
