Mark Steyn asks: What sort of woman would be offended by the sight of another woman's penis?


You can't make this stuff up fast enough to get ahead of the crazies.
Three years ago I wrote:

I can't recall ever describing The Vagina Monologues as 'edgy'. But I did tell Joseph Brean that I was amused to see that its annual 'V Day' production at Mount Holyoke College has been canceled because of its 'extremely narrow perspective on what it means to be a woman'. Hence, this Guardian headline: 'Vagina Monologues playwright: "I never said a woman is someone with a vagina".' As I said to Mr Brean, the revolution devours its own: Less than 20 years after Eve Ensler 'empowered' women by 'reclaiming' their vaginas, it seems a woman doesn't need a vagina at all, and it's totally cisgenderist to suggest you're not a woman if you're hung like a horse.
As is my wont, I was playing it for laughs - but, as I always say, none of the people who matter in our society are laughing. Hence, the Bathroom Wars of the subsequent years, in which the position of what used to be known to Common Law as the Reasonable Man (now presumably the Reasonable Cisman) is apparently (as I put it on Rush): What sort of woman would be offended by the sight of another woman's penis?

So this latest development in Trump Resistance anniversary observances was entirely predictable:


Pink pussyhats are being dropped from Women's March because they 'exclude trans women and women whose private parts are not pink'


The pink is racist, and the pussy is transphobic. The Pussyhat Project has now issued a clarification of the rules:

The color pink was chosen "because pink is associated with femininity," the Pussyhat Project posted on its website. "We did not choose the color pink as a representation of some people's anatomy. Anyone who supports women's rights is welcome to wear a Pussyhat. It does not matter if you have a vulva or what color your vulva may be. If a participant wants to create a Pussyhat that reflects the color of her vulva, we support her choice."
Read the whole thing.

If you're a normal man today and would rather not to date a creature who was once a man but now believes it's a woman  you're a hate filled bigot according to the masters of modern culture.   The inmates running the asylum was once a joke; not any more.
