When you go to a antifa riot, but your Mom shows up and reads you the riot act.

It might be staged, but it is believable.

You will obey.

The latest target in the vicious and often violent war being raged by extreme trans activists is one of my all-time heroes – the world tennis champion and LGBT rights campaigner, Martina Navratilova.

Navratilova has been accused of being ‘transphobic’ as a result of a tweet responding to a question from a follower about transgender women in sport.

‘Clearly that can’t be right. You can’t just proclaim yourself a female and be able to compete against women. There must be some standards, and having a penis and competing as a woman would not fit that standard’, tweeted Martina.

Oh, Mizzou.

Today’s crazy comes from — unsurprisingly — the University of Missouri (Mizzou), best known for torpedoing its enrollment rates after campus protests led a professor to threaten a student journalist. An official at Mizzou indicated during a deposition that a male student who was physically larger than the female student he asked out may have violated the school’s Title IX policy because his physical size gave him “power over her.”

Unexpectedly!

It Sure Looks Like This Obamacare Program Has Led to More People Dying

Under the health law, Medicare started penalizing hospitals for too many readmissions. Now mortality rates are up.

Also unexpectedly! Global Climate Disruption is...difficult to get a handle on.

2018 will be the first year with no violent tornadoes in the United States

We still have a few days to rectify this situation. But this isn't the time of year for EF-4 and EF-5 tornadoes.

Clearly that can’t be right. You can’t just proclaim yourself a female and be able to compete against women. There must be some standards....

Being awash in testosterone gives you a few unfair advantages in an athletic contest. Then again, the trans athletics dust-up was never about fairness in athletics.

Remember when Juwanna Mann was pitched as a comedy?

re sports: it is not enough to be mostly in agreement with trans activists, you must be 100% or you are an enemy. Martina is right, men can win every single athletic contest that exists except perhaps the balance beam and synchronized swimming. Track and field? Clean sweep. Team sports? clean sweep.
re Mizzou: The claim of "power over her" has been creeping outward. First it was bosses--ok sure, he can fire her. Then faculty with any student, even if not in their class or department (I know lots of profs now married to a former grad student of theirs). Then just being famous (football player, famous comedian). Now it is taller. It seems women are helpless if they perceive the guy to be more worthy/famous/rich than themselves. It's like a date-rape drug. Exactly the same.

The two teachers who made Linday Shepherd's life miserable for showing a video of Jordan Peterson are suing her:

Yes, the ladies at the Gender Critical forums are very worked up about the athletic stuff. Also, male rapists who declare themselves female being allowed in female prisons, with predictable results.

And these books sell like crazy

The Lord of the Rings as fascist allegory?

Civilization is in trouble. It's regressing, folks. 1843 Magazine examines civilizational decline as evidenced by a decline of manners on mass transit in a review of In Pursuit of Civility by British historian Keith Thomas.

Thomas' book "tells the story of the most benign developments of the past 500 years: the spread of civilised manners. In the 16th and 17th centuries many people behaved like barbarians. They delighted in public hangings and torture. They stank to high heaven. Samuel Pepys defecated in a chimney. Josiah Pullen, vice-principal of Magdalen Hall, Oxford, urinated while showing a lady around his college, 'still holding the lady fast by the hand.' It took centuries of painstaking effort – sermons, etiquette manuals and stern lectures – to convert them into civilised human beings [...] and comes to a terrible realization, that "everything our forebears worked so hard to achieve is now reversing. A process that took centuries has been undone in just a few decades."
