Intnl Womans Day - Slap in the face

[ripvanwinkle]

I see Jill Biden gave a award to a trans gender man. This made Twitter erupt with shock and disgust. A real slap in the face for Feminism. They will have to rename it International Whoever Day.

I don’t think anyone here will care about your latest outrage, rip. Not sure anyone will even care that you don’t get it.

[Tennesseer]

Hey, Don. How's the weather where you are. Hope all is well with you and yours. All fine here with me. Take care

Sunny today so worked in the garden with Donnadub. Some ‘industrial’ gardening.
What’s your favorite whiskey down there?

Oh boy!  Another one.   

These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using an appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports, and omit information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy.

Funded by / Ownership
Olympic Media owns and publishes BizPac Review. According to Open Secrets, Olympic Media receives funding from prominent Republican politicians and PACS. For example, in the 2022 election cycle, they received a total of $4,831,681. Notable funders include Jim Jordan for Congress $1,293,441, Great American Patriot Project $1,102,481, Cawthorn for North Carolina $488,408, and Josh Hawley for Senate $244,084.

The BizPac Review website lacks transparency as they do not disclose these funders. Advertising, donations, and a store that sells conservative branded merchandise generate revenue.

Analysis / Bias
In review, Bizpac Review covers news and opinion content with a strong conservative Republican bias. They also have a people section covering commentary and news about other conservatives such as Donald Trump, Kellyanne Conway, and Laura Ingraham, all of which have poor records with fact-checkers.

Overall, we rate Bizpac Review Right Biased based on story selection and editorial positions that almost always favor the right. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to poor sources, misleading loaded language, and four failed fact checks.

I don't know about anyone else, but I would just once like to see rip post an article from somewhere that is NOT a far-right source.  This one happens to be primarily funded by a few of the most ridiculous and stupid members of the conservative caucus.  Wish I could be surprised.

I guess bizpacreview wasn't up to reporting on eleven of the honorees?

WHITE HOUSE —

U.S. first lady Jill Biden wanted to put this year’s International Women of Courage recipients on the biggest stage possible, so she invited all 11 honorees to the White House on Wednesday for the awards ceremony held on International Women’s Day.

For the first time this year, the award also honored a group, naming the women and girl protesters of Iran as the inaugural recipients of the Madeleine Albright Honorary Group Award. Countless women and girls led protests across the nation’s 31 provinces after 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in police custody in September, allegedly because she was not properly wearing her headscarf.

The pic is too big, otherwise I'd post it, but here's the description underneath-

Polish journalist Bianka Zalewska, left, Ukrainian medic Yuliia Paievska, center, and Malaysian Senator Datuk Ras Adiba Radzi hold hands during the International Women of Courage award ceremony at the White House in Washington, March 8, 2023. All three are award recipients.

You're not a woman, so you don't get to be outraged. Also, Twitter is trash.

[grumpyhermit]

Twitter was mad? Gosh it usually take so MUCH to stir that group of level headed individuals into a fury. They never overreact or post inflammatory click bait. 


Also, a transgender man would fit your narrow definition of a woman, so not sure why you would be upset in the first place.  Oh, wait is it maybe because you don't actually know what you are talking about and maybe it would be better to remain quiet? No, surely that couldn't be it.

what could be a greater honor to women than becoming one?

it used to take a bit to stir them up.  now that it is mostly Russian bots and such, it takes far less.

I’m more concerned about actual issues facing women, like rising maternal mortality rates, the wage gap, violence against women, the lack of women in government and STEM.

I can’t seem to care about a biological male whom presents as female getting an women’s day award

Why Jack Daniel's of course. Do you have a state beverage up there?

A transgender man is someone who was born with society's definition of female genitalia and transitioned to male.
A transgender woman is someone who was born with society's definition of male genitalia and tansitioned to female.

Use the proper nomenclature please.

As a woman, transgendered women don't frighten me. They don't take away any of my rights.  They don't change the way I live my life in anyway.   Actually, they have a lot of the same "life experiences" that I have.   They know that women are treated differently than men in our society.  They've experienced Mansplaining. They've experienced the double standards at work.  They've been overruled/talked over/made to feel they are second class citizens by men.  They've been subjected to violence because of the way they look/dress.    They are painfully aware of the gender inequality in our society.  


For the OP: Why would I as a woman care that a transwoman got a women's day award?   I have more in common with a transgender woman than with a cis male.   And what does this have to do with Feminism?    

I don't get why there's so much hate and contempt...

It's stirring the pot.  There has been debate for decades on whether or not transwomen should be counted among feminists and given room at the table.

If they can keep us all bickering amongst ourselves over who gets to claim the title of "woman" we aren't going to notice everything they are doing behind our backs.  Also if they can keep us divided we can't defeat them.   Conservatives are fucking terrified of the idea that all minorities may actually unite because we're a big enough block together to end them once and for all.

Personally, I am on the side of intersectionality.   Dividing us up and excluding others because they weren't born with vaginas is just another form of privilege.

It costs me nothing to be her ally and we both have everything to gain from it.

[happyhoix]

There’s been a lot of men who have championed women’s rights. I wouldn’t mind if such a man won an award on ‘women’s day. ‘

I didn’t know women’s day had rules about who is allowed to win.

We like the Jack! We have hundreds of wineries and breweries and even numerous distilleries now. I like Walla Walla reds and IPAs.

You might want to share with Rip staunch Republican Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner's before and after pictures so he knows what a transgender woman is.

Been 30,odd years since I've had an alcoholic drink. But when I did drink my alcohol of choice was Cutty Sark scotch.
