THE LEFTISTS WILL EVENTUALLY EAT THEIR OWN (IT’S ALREADY STARTED)

February 20, 2019

I wish the sponsor of THIS GEORGIA BILL EXEMPTING THE TAX ON FEMININE HYGIENE PRODUCTS OUT OF FAIRNESS TO WOMEN and the BROWN UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATOR WHO DECIDED FEMININE HYGIENE PRODUCTS SHOULD BE STOCKED IN THE MEN'S RESTROOMS would get together and decide whether or not both men and women need such products. The answer was self-evident from the beginning of human history until last year, but it now appears that the Left is suddenly divided on the issue. I have no problem exempting those items from taxation (the fewer taxes, the better), but if the reason for doing so is to remove an inequitable burden on women, what do you tell the "men" at Brown who use them as well?

At some point, the edgy concept of intersectionality will, by necessity, collapse under its own weight because, if our woke thought-police continue to slice society into an infinite number of distinct victim groups, eventually everyone becomes both a victim and a perpetrator. This emerging reality is exemplified by the recent REACTION TO MARTINA NAVRATILOVA'S OPPOSITION TO TRANSGENDER ATHLETES. Remarkably, Navratilova, a legendary tennis star and pioneer of women's rights and gay rights, is now cast as an oppressor in the emerging turf war within the LGBT community. When victimhood becomes power, the race becomes one to the bottom, and everyone loses.
