Nice picture featuring both of the non-staff who showed up.

Maybe besides I'm missing the problem? Is there something on that sign that I'm not supposed to agree with?

You could start with the implied disagreement with the right to one's own opinion. It is one thing for their own gathering, but my guess is that the idea is to push to make their agenda universal.

No it's a genre of music and style, which depending on where you are from you attribute to either the Ramones or the sex Pistols.

Seeing people like this getting smacked in the face with the reality the existence of which they deny is almost enough to make a person look forward to SHTF.

Journal: Transgenderism ‘Not Supported By Scientific Evidence’

Wage gap nonsense dives even further to new depths of stupid

Essentially: "women who took career breaks then worked part time don't earn the same as men"

Mothers' pay lags far behind men

 

[printcraft]

Wait.... You mean to tell me if you don't work as many hours as someone else you won't get paid as much as they do?!
We need .gov to fix this!!!!!!

Finally some sense. Was reading the news stories about some 5 year old's mom who is fighting for her(his?) right to use the bathroom for her felt gender. All I could think of was The kid is FIVE. What are you doing to her? She can't possibly have any concept of gender at that age.

Parents who push this garbage on kids too young to fathom it are doing far more damage than they perceive society and "gender norms" to be doing.

Child abuse.

That wasn't what I took away from it. Most companies I've seen have a schedule (whether they follow it is another matter) of when you get evaluations which lead to raises. If I'm due for a 90 day, and then annual evaluations, my performance in my job should not be tied to the number of hours I do it. (If I give 100% effort and am a model employee, the fact that I work part time hours shouldn't mean I make less per hour, especially less than someone else who gives 50% effort and finds any excuse for a coffee break/smoke break/etc., in the same job class.) What I understood this to say was that the part time employee wasn't getting those evaluations that lead to raises, on schedule. I'd have to agree that that was wrong. I might even agree it's discriminatory. I'm not sure it rises to the level of needing governmental involvement, though.

Sure she can. At five, she knows she's a girl. She's happy when told she's pretty, and she knows the traditional gender roles she sees modeled for her: Mommy and Daddy go to work, come home, Mommy makes dinner while Daddy drinks a beer and lies on the couch and farts all evening.
Seriously, if her parents are like most, she probably has a dollhouse, a few dresses in her closet, and likes to watch things like Doc McStuffins and Dora on TV. Her brother (or maybe the boy next door, or the one in her kindergarten) has toy trucks, maybe has a suit in his closet for church on Sunday (maybe) and watches Transformers and Superman.
For that matter, look at the super heroes: Wonder Woman is strong, but she doesn't LOOK strong. She looks like a princess (which she is) in a costume that looks like a bathing suit. Superman LOOKS muscular and imposing, and his costume is full-coverage.
And then there's:

Children do learn early what's expected. The man is supposed to be strong and smart, and the woman is supposed to be eye candy, at least traditionally. They learn today that women are also strong and smart and capable. That, in and of itself, I don't think is a bad thing. From a personal perspective, I also don't mind that men are not usually portrayed as eye candy.

Blessings,
Bill

What? You never played "Doctor" when you were five? I think I was pretty aware of the difference in plumbing by then.

You know I would like to agree but the way the world's going it seems more like how you feel or how something makes you feel is what justifies Things Not facts

Don't worry, the University has it all sorted out. It's okay to call it that because it's ironic guys.
