Just making sure we are all gender neutral here. Remember that sex is just a social construct, that 2 + 2 doesn't equal 4, that we must say Amen and Awomen after prayer, because just saying Amen is Latin for sexism. Oh, not to forget that weed cures all diseases and the earth is flat.
If you are woke! Yes, you are in a cult and yes you are anti-science and anti-logic.

"Giant vagina sculpture fuels culture wars in Brazil"
| quote | | Artist Juliana Notari said the sculpture questioned the relationship between nature and culture in a "phallocentric and anthropocentric society." . . . Called “Diva,” the vivid 108-foot concrete and resin sculpture by artist Juliana Notari is on the site of a former sugar mill that has been turned into an open-air museum in Pernambuco state. . . . Bolsonaro’s political guru, Olavo de Carvalho, took to Twitter to lambaste Notari’s work—seemingly proposing a giant penis sculpture as a way to challenge it. |

Just the highlights. From first word to last, the entire report is only about four times more than what I just duplicated above.
When I saw it, I thought it would enhance this forum topic.

The US House or Representatives is trying to be. FAIL !
It promotes inclusion and diversity.
| quote |
... Congress will address issues of inequities on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, or national origin; honor all gender identities by changing pronouns and familial relationships in the House rules to be gender neutral; |
|
If I recall correctly, one, um two pronouns changed were "herself" and "his self". The two were changed to "themselves". "Themselves" describes more than one where to former language is singular. I did not hear what they changed "he" and "she" to.

"Woke" = The modern day Jacobins itching to begin their Reign of Terror
Who will be their Robespierre?
It will end just as quickly because Thermidor always comes.

"Artist", yeah. Right.
There was once a man who declared certain pieces of work to be degenerate and were outlawed. Do we miss him yet?

A few more stupid decisions like this will guarantee more Conservatives elected in two years. Interestingly Speaker Pelosi’s first priority upon being re-elected as Speaker. Even before the COVID-19 relief bill she says is her highest priority. My guess is that she thinks other shiny objects will distract us at the next election.
Probably something she had to promise to get enough “Progressive” votes to win the Speakership. Politics is a disgusting business!

| quote | Finally, the new rules package from Democrats also bans the House from using popular terms Americans use for their relatives including father, mother, daughter, son, brother, sister, and more.
“House Democrats are passing radical new rules that shut down the legislative process and stop amendments from being made to improve legislation," said Congressman John Moolenaar, who voted against the new rules. "Democrats are also banning the House from using common terms like father, mother, brother and sister, which are unique words that many people use to describe their loved ones. Tucked inside the package is a proposal to use “gender-inclusive language.”n The goal is to “honor all gender identities by changing pronouns and familial relationships in the House rules to be gender neutral,” their joint statement reads.
McGovern issued a separate announcement about “Changes [to] pronouns and familial relationships in the House rules to be gender neutral or removes references to gender…”
Terms to be struck from clause 8(c)(3) of rule XXIII, the House’s Code of Official Conduct, as outlined in the new proposal include “father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, first cousin, nephew, niece, husband, wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, stepfather, stepmother, stepson, stepdaughter, stepbrother, stepsister, half brother, half sister, grandson, [and] granddaughter.”
The terms would be replaced with “parent, child, sibling, parent’s sibling, first cousin, sibling’s child, spouse, parent-in-law, child-in-law, sibling-in-law, stepparent, stepchild, stepsibling, half-sibling, [and] grandchild.” |

No, I do not. Censorship is still censorship and tyranny is still tyranny.
Nor do I miss anyone who tries to foist obscenity on the public and falsely claim it is art or humor. Such behavior is simply obnoxious and childish.

I wonder what the reaction would have been had the concrete vagina had included an impaled phallus in it? [This message has been edited by maryjane (edited 01-05-2021).]
