Toxic masculinity is everywhere, according to the moonbats at Business Insider — even at a conference for non-men:

A tech conference celebrating women and non-binary people in computer science sparked a backlash after people said it was dominated by men.

The complaints were about the The Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing which took place in Orlando from September 26 to 29.

The purpose of the event was to discriminate against men in tech hiring.

The event markets itself on its website as the “world’s largest gathering of women and non-binary technologists,” and tickets set back attendees around $1,300. …

[Product designer Lily Li] said she suspected that cisgender men may have “finessed” the system by pretending to be non-binary, or selecting “prefer not to answer” on their entry forms…

If you can’t pretend to be black, pretend to be female. If that won’t work either, call yourself “nonbinary.” It’s either that or get marginalized.

Insider found many more public comments on LinkedIn left by female and non-binary attendees where they expressed their disappointment over the experience, describing a place “over-capacitated by rude, disrespectful, and female-attacking men.”

They mean “attacking” in the Liberalese sense:

Some said they had been bothered and harassed and even hit on.

Clearly the eradication of toxic masculinity requires more than woke propaganda. Engineering the next mandatory vaccine to turn men into Dylan Mulvaneys might do the trick.

The social engineers are coming after Roman emperors now:

The North Hertfordshire Museum has said it will be “sensitive” to the purported pronoun preferences of the third century AD ruler Elagabalus (also known as Heliogabalus).

Classical texts claim that Elagabalus asked to be called “lady” and asked to be termed wife, mistress and queen.

When a society begins to decay, degeneracy sets in among the people in charge. Rome was no exception. Tiberius was a pedophile. Caligula’s excesses are still infamous. However, in the case of Elagabalus, this may have been character assassination.

Cassius Dio, a Roman chronicler, wrote that Elagabalus was “termed wife, mistress and queen”, told one lover “Call me not Lord, for I am a Lady”, and asked for female genitalia to be fashioned for him.

However, Cassius Dio served the following emperor Severus Alexander, who took the throne after the assassination of Elagabalus.

One historian suggests that the accounts use his reputedly deviant behaviour as a justification for his assassination.

According to Cambridge classics professor Andrew Wallace-Hadrill,

“The Romans didn’t have our idea of ‘trans’ as a category, but they used accusations of sexual behaviour ‘as a woman’ as one of the worst insults against men.”

As well they might. It is inherently disgusting for men to behave like women. This has been understood throughout the world and throughout history.

Nonetheless, the North Hertfordshire Museum proclaims it will now refer to Elagabalus as “she” — a politically motivated lie.

Liberal Democrat councillor and executive member for arts at the Lib Dem and Labour coalition-run North Herts Council, said: “Elagabalus most definitely preferred the she pronoun, and as such this is something we reflect when discussing her in contemporary times.”

Rome now has its first woman emperor. Congratulations to Elagabalus for breaking the glass ceiling 1,800 years after he died.

Museums are supposed to preserve our heritage. In a world run by progressives, they disfigure and destroy it.

Nothing is sacred to moonbats except moonbattery. They might find the Roman Empire guilty of toxic masculinity and cancel it altogether, so that future generations will never know it existed.

On a tip from Franco.

Tyranny is tyranny, whether imposed in the name of the proletariat, the planet, or something bizarre and nonexistent, likely sexually perverted children. The pretext used by your rulers to grind their collective boot on your face makes no difference whatsoever. All that matters is how hard they grind it. They are grinding it hard.

In the name of the planet,

Single-use plastic drinking straws, cutlery, plates, drink-stirrers, expanded polystyrene food and drink containers, and cotton bud sticks will be banned from sale or supply in Victoria from 1 February 2023.

Victoria is home to Melbourne, Australia’s second largest and arguably most progressive city.

Businesses and individuals will be fined $54,000 and $10,900, respectively, for selling, supplying, or distributing the forbidden items. This is even more draconian than the punishment already in place for selling highly useful plastic bags: $49,500 and $9,900, respectively.

Even the most picayune aspects of normal life must be controlled and the most trivial conveniences suppressed, so that you cannot so much as sip your ice tea without doing it in compliance with liberal ideology.

In the name of sexually perverted children,

The Fairfax County School Board in Virginia approved changes to expand punishment for students for “malicious misgendering” at Luther Jackson Middle School Thursday.

The changes in the Student Rights and Responsibilities handbook, approved by a vote of 8-4, make it possible for students as young as fourth grade to be suspended for “malicious misgendering” or “deadnaming” their peers.

“Misgendering” means referring to someone with the correct pronouns even when these differ from “preferred” pronouns. “Deadnaming” means calling someone by their real name rather than a new name that has been invented to go with a new identity as a member of the opposite sex.

Thanks entirely to brainwashing by liberal social engineers, transsexual posturing is trendy among children, who are incapable of comprehending its implications.

Kids are forced to refer to other kids by bogus pronouns and phony names. This is compelled speech, which goes beyond even suppression of free speech to constitute the purest essence of tyranny.

Children who grow up in an environment where they are compelled to lie will have a hard time comprehending the principles America was built upon.

Transsexualized children, global warming hysteria, oppressed blacks, gun violence, toxic masculinity — all of it is idiot noise intended to validate that grinding boot. It is a waste of time to argue with moonbats about how many historically marginalized transsexual BIPOCs can dance on the head of a sustainably sourced pin. The only thing anyone should have to say to them is “Get your boot off my face.”

Meanwhile, as the liberal establishment wages war against “toxic masculinity” and presents Harry Styles as a role model, masculinity continues to be celebrated by those who have not succumbed to moonbattery. The animated series Primal by Russian-born Genndy Tartakovsky is a case in point:

This strikes quite a contrast to the degenerate, demasculinizing crapola that comprises the standard television diet.

On a tip from Jack S.

No one who represents Western Civilization is safe from progressives. These cultural vandals would cancel Beethoven for being white. Educators on the cutting edge of wokeness would cancel Shakespeare:

“This is about white supremacy and colonization,” declared the teachers who founded #DisruptTexts, a group that wants staples of Western literature removed or subjected to withering criticism.

Like everyone who lived before right now, Shakespeare had a viewpoint that needs to be erased from history because it was “problematic.” He has been found guilty of the ultimate crime, “whiteness.”

If Shakespeare must be taught, these educators say, then it should be presented with watered-down versions of the original or supplemental texts focused on equality issues.

For now, Shakespeare is still allowed, but in some classes can only be studied in the context of Marxist theory and “toxic masculinity analysis.”

The School Library Journal, which describes itself as “the premier publication for librarians and information specialists who work with children and teens,” joined the fight this year and offered young adult novels as alternatives to Shakespeare.

No doubt the young adult novels replacing Shakespeare are carefully chosen on the basis of the race, sexual identity, and left-wing political outlook of their authors. As the public is continually dumbed down, young adult novels will become suitable reading for adults, so long as people are still able to read.

At the rate moonbattery is progressing, anyone who has earned the disfavor of the social engineers today is likely to be banned completely tomorrow. In no time, merely suggesting that the last copy of Shakespeare’s work should be spared from the bonfire will get you canceled. To speak his name will be racist and therefore forbidden.

This isn’t just a matter of policy preferences. The fight against what we now call “liberalism” is a desperate struggle to keep civilization alive.

On a tip from Varla.

In 2017, a pair of pranksters demonstrated that moonbattery is making a mockery of academia by getting a parody article about how sex organs are a social construct published in an academic journal. Their warning was wasted. Radical moonbattery has seeped out of the ivy-covered ivory tower to infect the broader society. As noted at Not the Bee, parody is now presented as reality:

The Scientific American published an actual article arguing that sexual organs are merely social constructs, not biological realities of dichotomous sex with specific functions in procreation.

Pranksters Jamie Lindsay and Peter Boyle were probably sniggering as they wrote this:

Anatomical penises may exist, but as pre-operative transgendered women also have anatomical penises, the penis vis-à-vis maleness is an incoherent construct. We argue that the conceptual penis is better understood not as an anatomical organ but as a social construct isomorphic to performative toxic masculinity. Through detailed poststructuralist discursive criticism and the example of climate change, this paper will challenge the prevailing and damaging social trope that penises are best understood as the male sexual organ and reassign it a more fitting role as a type of masculine performance.

Yet Rachel E. Gross no doubt wore an expression of smug righteousness as she excreted the following for Scientific America:

[W]hat is a penis? … Basically, we’re talking about a fleshy organ lined with columns of spongy tissue, which can fill with blood and grow rigid. As it turns out, that’s also the definition of a clitoris, which develops out of the same embryonic structures and is made up of the same tissues. …

“What I’ve come to realize is that everything a man has a woman has; everything a woman has, a man has, anatomically,” says Dr. Marci Bowers, a gender affirmation surgeon in Palo Alto who has done more than 2,000 male-to-female surgeries. “The penis is just a large clitoris. In fact, I don’t know why they don’t just call it a large clitoris.” …

[M]uch of what we know about our nether regions has been shaped by lazy, antiquated stereotypes about what men and women are. Looking past the penis and beyond the binary categories of male/female, penis/vagina (or, more accurately, penis/clitoris) opens our eyes to the full spectrum of gender and genitalia in all its glorious permutations.

Yet again we see that the liberal establishment is at war with reality.

Hilariously, liberals denounce their opponents as enemies of science.

Unlike their opposition, progressives believe in science; or at least, that’s what they shriek at us in a tone of scornful sanctimony. Meanwhile, Procter & Gamble — arguably the most ostentatiously liberal corporation out there, despite heavy competition — presents us with this:

Compared to the campaign to convince us that there is no physical difference between men and women, spinning devastating riots as “peaceful protests” is bush league gaslighting.

The reaction has not been entirely positive:

“This ad is misogynistic and advocates erasing women. So goodbye 4ever!!!” one critic wrote. …

“I’m genuinely interested to know who at @Tampax thought it might be a good idea to gamble your entire client base (Biological Women) against this anti-factual and anti-woman, virtue vomit,” another critic said.

Why not? P&G already drove off male customers with the infamous Gillette ad denouncing them for toxic masculinity.

Moonbats characteristically defend the scientifically insane liberal position by sniffing that they are superior believers in science:

“Lovely as always to see bigots absolutely bewildered that the world has left them behind and science didn’t permanently freeze during their 5th grade biology class in 1983,” one person wrote in defense of Tampax.

Higher taxes can avert climate doom — that’s settled science. Men and women are biologically different? That went out with Members Only jackets.

Liberalism is a war against sanity.

The science has spoken. Moonbat men — specifically, men who call themselves feminists, are more than twice as likely to need pharmaceutical assistance to achieve or maintain an erection.

It is not your imagination. There really is something limp about male moonbats. Their desire to abolish “toxic” masculinity could be explained by envy.
