If you are polite enough to open the door for women or help them with heavy packages, repent at once, for you have committed benevolent sexism:

Benevolent sexism involves the belief that men should cherish and protect women, and “put them on a pedestal”. This is because women are viewed as being more morally pure, weaker, and in need of protection.

Research proves that those who indulge in benevolent sexism actually hate women. Because this is patent nonsense, it has to be explained with the use of theory:

While it may seem paradoxical that benevolent sexism and hostile sexism are correlated, ambivalent sexism theory holds that benevolent sexism is reserved for “good” women who conform to traditional gender roles. Hostile sexism tends to be directed towards women who are perceived to be seeking to usurp men’s power.

Whether you are letting a woman take the taxi you were first in line for because it is pouring rain, or you are wincing in distaste because a purple-haired 300-pound lesbian is shrieking theory in your face, it is all one sexism.

According to experiments that were no doubt conducted by Experts in the field of sexism, “exposure to benevolently sexist comments led women to perform worse on a cognitive task” and worse yet, “benevolently sexist feedback led to women displaying cardiovascular responses similar to experiencing threat.”

Given a preexisting heart condition, a remark like “Your hair looks nice like that” could kill.

If you see a moonbat acting rudely toward a woman, don’t be quick to condemn; it may be a heroic act of restorative countersexism.

On a tip from Chris Weller.

Winston Smith is the protagonist of George Orwell’s 1984. His job is to edit previous publications to retroactively impose upon them the current party line. In the ultimate Orwellian irony, moonbats are doing the same thing to 1984 itself.

The estate of George Orwell has approved a feminist retelling of Nineteen Eighty-Four, which reimagines the story from the perspective of Winston Smith’s lover Julia. …

In Julia by Sandra Newman, the incidents of Nineteen Eighty-Four are seen through the woman’s eyes.

This isn’t the only great work to be subjected to a feminist retelling.

Julia … is the latest in a series of feminist retellings of classic stories, from Natalie Haynes’s reimagining of the Trojan war A Thousand Ships, and Pat Barker’s The Silence of the Girls, a version of the Iliad from the perspective of Briseis, to Maggie O’Farrell’s Hamnet, which centres on the life of Shakespeare’s wife, and Jeet Thayil’s Names of the Women, which tells the stories of 15 women whose lives overlapped with Jesus.

Stunted by moonbattery, our society can produce nothing new except in the realm of technology. All it can accomplish culturally is to pervert the works of healthier generations by imposing the prevailing ideology upon them.

Stay tuned for a reworking of Shakespeare’s plays with all of the characters recast as Transsexuals of Color.

Not the Bee quotes the original 1984:

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten.”

It is once again confirmed that leftists view 1984 not as a cautionary tale but as an instruction manual.

On a tip from Mr Freemarket.

Just because the White House is occupied by a creepy character infamous for inappropriately touching little girls who has been credibly accused of sexual assault does not mean that the #MeToo reign of terror is over. Those who are sufficiently useful to leftists can do whatever they please. For those who are not, accusation still equals guilt:

Former San Francisco Supervisor Jane Kim publicly apologized for bringing a former aide accused of rape to a political event last month.

The former aide, Jon Jacobo, is a Mission District organizer who was considered a rising political star until two months ago when tenant rights activist Sasha Perigo went public with accusations that Jacobo had sexually assaulted her in April.

A left-wing activist’s accusation can snuff out a budding career. Believe all women means any woman at all.

Perigo, 26, did not file a police report and Jacobo, 33, has denied the charges on the grounds that the sex was consensual.

Nonetheless, he resigned his seat on the Building Inspection Commission and is now treated as a political leper.

Kim was among politicos seen as trying to support Jocobo, and perhaps resuscitate his career by inviting him to the Pak event, for which she was condemned by the San Francisco Women’s Political Committee.

“I am relieved to see Jane Kim commit to the SFWPC’s call to action,” Perigo said in a statement, adding that those who commit sexual assault and abuse “should be cast out of public life.”

Tara Reade could not be reached for comment.

No wonder moonbats so often take on a condescending tone, implying that you would certainly agree with them if you weren’t such an idiot. Their logic is airtight. Any man who denies being a misogynist is a misogynist. That leaves men who admit they are misogynists. Therefore, all men are misogynists. An enlightened feminist explains to the unwoke:

According to our state religion under Democrat rule — i.e., critical race theory — the same principle applies to all whites being racists and therefore racially inferior.

Surely this woman would never go on a date and subject herself to certain oppression. What a blessing. Getting stuck on a date with her would not be pleasant.

On a tip from Wiggins.

Members of the cultural Marxist coalition that progressives have been using to destroy the West are hereby forewarned: you will receive special favor from leftists only so long as you are useful to them. Then they will sacrifice you to some other, more strategically victimized identity group — very possibly in an insensitive and humiliating manner. Scotland, at the vanguard of moonbattery, demonstrates what happens when women become less politically useful than men who pretend to be women:

The head of one of Scotland’s biggest rape crisis centres has suggested “bigoted” rape survivors should be re-educated about transgender rights as part of recovering from their trauma.

Mridul Wadhwa, a transgender woman [i.e., a man], said people would not truly recover unless they addressed their “unacceptable beliefs” because “therapy is political”.

Screw your rape trauma. Bow down before LGBT ideology.

He surely has a “dead name” that it would be transphobic to mention. Not even moonbats would name their son Mridul.

His brand of therapy will become invaluable to liberals as more women are raped in prison by transsexual inmates.

Wadhwa, 43, was appointed chief [executive] of Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre in May, a post that was advertised as for a woman only.

The centre is currently advertising for a chief operating officer, who must also be a woman, and says applications from trans women would be “especially welcome”.

All animals on the leftist farm are equal; however, faux women are a lot more equal than real women.

Mr Wadhwa used to be a Scottish National Party council candidate in Edinburgh, but he…

…left the party in December after [Members of the Scottish Parliament] backed a law to let rape survivors choose the sex, rather than the gender, of the person examining them, and joined the Greens instead.

If you don’t agree that sexually deranged men posing as women should be allowed to examine rape survivors despite their objections, you just aren’t woke.

Once again, we see that with leftists the issue is never the issue; the issue is always the subjugation of the entire population to their depraved ideology — except when the issue is also getting their claws on money. For more on that topic where Mr Wadhwa is concerned, refer to the Glinner Update.

On a tip from Steve T.

It is because of moonbattery that we can’t have nice things — or even look at anything nice. Liberal social engineers are so vicious, they would force people to look instead at Megan Rapinoe in her underwear:

Victoria’s Secret has sent its angels packing in a monumental rebranding that replaces the supermodels with a group of seven “women famous for their achievements,” including U.S. soccer star and activist Megan Rapinoe.

Rapinoe is best known for her belligerent lesbianism and extreme left-wing views. The seven or eight people who watch women’s soccer may know her from that. She is not known for her pulchritude. But of course, beauty is an oppressive construct of the sexist patriarchy:

Martin Waters, former head of Victoria’s Secret’s international business and its new CEO as of February, explained to The Times of the company’s rebranding, “When the world was changing, we were too slow to respond. We needed to stop being about what men want and to be about what women want.”

A guy with Waters’ job ought to know that a lot of women want to look attractive. Only those twisted by moonbattery would want to look like a harpy from hell.

Whereas Rapinhoe shrieks about her sexual perversion, former Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima is a devout Catholic who attends Mass every Sunday, does charitable work, opposes abortion, and holds that “Sex is for after marriage.”

To let liberals win the Culture War is to trade Adriana Lima for Megan Rapinoe.
