Women are crazy and men are stupid. And the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid.
—George Carlin
Some people believe that gender is merely a social construct — that men and women are fundamentally one and the same. Those people are called “nitwits.”
It’s blasphemous to say aloud in liberal America (and can get you kicked out of college), but it’s as obvious as a urinal for the rest of the country: DUH!! Of course men and women are different!
Even in godless, soulless, Darwinian terms, you wouldn’t expect men and women to be facsimiles: Each gender has different strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities when it comes to reproduction. Therefore, it’s reasonable to assume that men and women would be genetically predisposed to adopt different reproductive strategies.
Right?
Anything contrary might jeopardize your chance at perpetuating your bloodline, P.C. “fairness” be damned. If you’re still on the fence, think of it this way: If just one of your great-great-great-(and so on)-grandparents was shy, celibate or risk-averse, YOU wouldn’t be here! Not to be crude, but your direct family tree doesn’t include any virgins.
It’s survival of the fittest, not survival of the fairest!
Noting that men and women bear different risks, costs, and vulnerabilities when it comes to “sexy time” doesn’t make you a lewd, vile, chauvinist pig — or an apologist of the Patriarchy.
It makes you minimally observant.
Because the political polling data makes it clear as day: Men are significantly more likely to be conservative and pro-Trump. Women are more likely to be liberal and support Marx Lenin Stalin Bernie Sanders.
It’s WAY more extreme with younger Americans, where political polarization is at an all-time high, far surpassing all other age groups:
NBC News just released a remarkable story: “Young men and women are taking the ‘gender gap’ to staggering new levels.”
Trump’s approval rating has a 7-point gender gap among seniors. It grows to a 13-point gap for people in the 45 to 64 bracket and shrinks to nine points for folks 30 to 44.
But for Americans between 18 and 29, it’s a 21-point gap!
What’s especially striking is that today’s youngsters were reared during the one-two punch of the #MeToo movement and the trans movement. It was a heavy dose of misandry, followed by the complete and total eradication of all biological definitions: Gender was purely a choice; anyone can be a boy or girl if they want!
With all that propaganda and media pressure, you’d expect young, impressionable boys and girls to behave more similarly. After all, the media, government, teachers, and pop-culture celebrities kept trying to convince ‘em that we were one and the same — that all XX or XY distinctions were in our heads. In that sort of climate, you’d assume most kids would be obedient little sheep and do what they’re told. Instead, the exact opposite happened.
Welcome to the world of unintended consequences.
That’s the danger of overreaching: There’s almost always blowback. A wise politician will “guide” the pendulum slowly and deliberately, gaining as much territory as he can, consolidating his gains as he goes. That’s how you grow a movement.
Had the trans movement adopted this approach, they would’ve fought for acceptance and legal recognition, but stopped before we reached the weird realm of girls’ bathrooms, school showers, dominating women’s sports, or declaring it “transphobic” when a boy declines to date someone with a penis.
That would’ve made most trans people very happy, since the overwhelming majority just want to be left alone. They don’t want to be political props!
But an overly aggressive politician will push too far and invite blowback.
Make no mistake: When you overreach, that pendulum swings back in a hurry. And when it does, it doesn’t reset in the middle. Whoever pushed the pendulum last… wins!
In business, there’s often a first-mover advantage. Done right, you can seize market shares and freeze out your competitors. But in American politics, it’s better to move second.
Let the other guy bat at the top of the lineup!
The benefit of batting second is, you know exactly where to put the ball, because it’s impossible for the other side to cover the whole field. It’s just too big. There’s always gonna be open, exploitable turf.
It’s a subtle nuance of human nature that our current president instinctively understands:
“I’ve been saying during this whole campaign that I’m a counterpuncher…”In partisan politics, it’s better to be the answer than the question. (Particularly when the question is, “What is a woman?”) And if you follow Trump’s agenda, it mostly follows that pattern:
Q: Why do we need to crack down on immigration?
A: Because the Democrats opened the border and flooded our country with illegals!
Q: Why do we need tariffs?
A: Because Americans are getting ripped off, and our citizens deserve high-paying jobs!
Donald Trump wins by being the answer; Democrats lose by being the question.
Welcome to the art of the pendulum — and the danger of overreach.
