In November 2019, they all laughed at Dennis Prager for saying what, in 2022, they all get mad at you for not saying.

Maybe it’s a negotiation strategery. We’ll give you the pronouns, if you give up your menstruation 🩸 claims.

Peter said...

Dennis Prager should have explained: what is meant is that biological women transition to being men. Then, as “men” they of course menstruate. I think Maher, et.al. are assuming biological men.
Still, of course Praeger was correct and mockers were behind the news.

Humperdink said...

Men certainly are a creative gender. They can convince the lefties they belong in a women's prison. Not only are lefties gullible, but stoooopid too!

Reminds me of the old tune "Only Women Bleed."

I tried to remember who sang it.

Alice Cooper.

I wonder if the rest of the trans community has already cancelled him/her/them/hir/zir.

I also wonder whether "Schoolhouse Rock" could come back with a catchy jingle to teach us all the new pronouns that we have to know.

The 2016 to (present) era will be remembered as Mass Formation Psychosis, Trump Derangement Syndrome, or another title. In knowing how academics strive to create new theories no matter how silly, they'll probably claim it resulted from something like ergot fungus as some claimed for the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution.

"We've all been poisoned by Monsanto! It was RoundUp! It's in the corn, in the corn, in the corn! Don't eat corn or you'll go mad!'

[Probably, actually it'll be understood as a sudden functional cognitive decline precipitated by smart phones and social media.]

Yeah. To say the Left has jumped the shark is an understatement. My theory is that they're like a disease that is running rampant and working to infect as many people with as many diseases as they can until society finally catches it's own breath and puts a stop on the spread. At that time we'll all look up and see how much of their bizarreness has become part of our everyday lives.

Multiple pronouns to fit your everyday mood. Check.
Multiple genders because you just never know who's coming out of you on any given day. Check.
Tampax because you might have an accident, since you are not used to doing that. Check.
Homeless encampments outside of your nice suburban home. Check.
Entire stores full of goods you can just take. Check.
Drag Queen Happy Hours for first graders. Check. And who wouldn't want that?
The censoring of anybody who questions these and other "changes for the good", backed by Journalists for Censoring. Check.
Cutting back of police in all major cities because they get in the way of the people doing their business. Check.

There's so much we can learn from these people.

guitar joe said...

Here we are, only only three years later, and Maher has been calling out progressives for such silliness. Hope he apologized to Prager.

Shouting Thomas said...

This is the outcome of your feminism, Althouse.

Not an accident or misinterpretation.

Your feminism cannot co-exist with free speech, cannot even co-exist with biological reality.

The great icon of feminism, Hillary Clinton authored the Russia Collusion Hoax. The war fever with Russia she whipped up might lead to all out nuclear war. This is what feminism produces. As always, Marxists claim that their good intentions are all that matter. Outcomes are what matter.

I’m a sinner, too. I believed and did stupid things when I was a kid. Feminism was a stupid mistake of your youth.

The one thing you can do to stop the madness is to publicly renounce this false, suicidal doctrine. It won’t fix the global damage, but it’s a start.

The point is always that times have changed, moral discoveries have been made, and you're a bad person.

What Prager said in 2019 was a trans conspiracy theory that has now completed the transition to leftist dogma. That's what the trans movement is all about. When you have a movement theory that is insane to begin with, that is impossible to defend using reason, its supporting arguments necessarily push the movement deeper into the realm of make believe and madness. In 2019, trans kindergarten students or trans women inmates impregnating biological women in California prisons were also right wing conspiracies. Look how far we have come today! Now we differentiate between trans women with boners and regular menstruating women by adding the word "biological," and Disney World has added the concept of 5 year old trans kids to Fantasy Land. Yet, the primary national conversation regarding this insanity is the effect on women's sports! It's past time for a massive reckoning for the crazy left.

Similarly, look back a couple of years at how Fox reported on events, and how CNBC/CNN/etc reported on events, and see which ones proved to be more accurate.

tim maguire said...

Radical activists have always depended on you, today, not remembering what they said yesterday. Prior to the internet, they got away with it--media control in just a few hands meant that we were much closer to living in Winston Smith's world.

As they try to bring the other parts of 1984 into our world, they are hamstrung by our ability to look back to yesterday. The tech titans are doing their best to squelch it, but the more they tighten their grip, the more star systems slip through their fingers.

How DARE someone be SO TRANSPHOBIC; that they Refuse to be Glad of the fast that men can menstruate

(and YES, i meant to use the word GLAD)

Iman said...

It’s all lost on these people.

exhelodrvr1 said...

And Trump was correct about German dependency on Russian energy, and defense spending by NATO members

michaele said...

I'll bet Dennis Prager never guessed he's be considered by some as a brave truth warrior just for pointing out things that are common sense.

John henry said...

Pretty much every so called "conspiracy theory" of the past 5 years has turned out to be real.

Whitmer kidnapping, actually an fbi conceived and contrived plot is just the latest.

In England it is against hate speech laws to say that men can't menstruate. You can be fined and, I think, even jailed for saying it.

Bill Maher should retire. He has made himself irrelevant by refusing to come to grips with (and thereby minimizing) the ideology of the left. This clip from 2-1/2 years ago shows Maher in complete denial while Dennis Prager gives him a dose of truth.

His current natterings are like watching a sea bird caught in an oil slick. Dennis Prager has been right and robust about it for years, as have Jordan Peterson, the late Rush Limbaugh, and Dennis Miller.

Christopher B said...

It's never going to happen, and when it does it will be glorious.

BUMBLE BEE said...

The left is scared shitless of Dennis Prager. He has standing invitations to most of them to debate him. Never happens. His life has been devoted to the study of leftism and he's not afraid to show them. He's at least as valuable to America as Rush, probably more.

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

The Left benefits from the fact that any attempt to clearly describe what they are doing always sounds like craziness and the media culture is to ascribe the craziness to the speaker and not the policies at issue.

Michael K said...

The Media and leftist politics are doing a good imitation of psychosis. The craziest of them seem to be running the country.

"I also wonder whether "Schoolhouse Rock" could come back with a catchy jingle to teach us all the new pronouns that we have to know."

"Three is a Magic Number" was actually about male, female, and other. It was also about multiple personality disorders.

LA_Bob said...

The other day, Althouse posted a clip of the Rogan-Maher interview. I watched the clip but not the whole interview. If Rogan didn't play that segment with Dennis Prager to Maher, he should have.

Joe Smith said...

The left hate Prager because he's a religious Jew.

But nobody can say that he's some sort of bomb thrower.

He's a very smart, measured, and somewhat boring guy.

They also hate him because he's usually right...

Amadeus 48 said...

For added delight, see Robert Reich's statements in the Guardian to the effect that to allow free speech has always been the dream of every dictator, strongman, demagogue and modern-day robber baron on Earth. As someone said about it, we are well along toward Freedom Is Slavery.

This would be high comedy if our current crop of comedians had any stones. I will point out that Reich was Secretary of Labor and is currently a professor of public policy at Berkeley. The Guardian (note the name) has performed a public service by letting Reich show the quality of his thinking.

Readering said...

Maher's reaction would be same today.

“How many FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the events of Jan. 6?” Sen. @TedCruz asked.

“At least 20” @FBI and @ATFHQ “assets” were embedded around the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, a defense attorney revealed in a court filing."

Funnier still, "women" incarcerated in a women's prison can inseminate.

Only women can BE inseminated, not other "women", but still.

This is called "progress".

You've come a long way, buddy.

"Headline: "NJ women’s prison inmates pregnant after sex with transgender prisoner" (NY Post)"

I would think that getting a woman pregnant would pretty much disprove the idea that the guy really thought he was a woman.

The new etymology: MEN-stru-ate.

NJ prison. Prisoners make do with what is available. Same in other sleepaway institutions.

Rollo said...

I didn't listen to yesterday's Bill Maher Bella Thorne podcast, but this was trending today:

Bill Maher Cruelly Mocks Bella Thorne’s Anxiety to Her Face

...

“So how can you be that fucking concerned about what’s going on in the world?” Maher said. “I know what’s going on in the world! I should have the anxiety! I follow it, you kids don’t follow it. You don’t know what the fuck is going on in the world! What are you upset about?”

Same old asshole Maher.

        And you would be wrong.  According to current trans ideology, that was a female dick and balls that were used to inseminate the fellow prisoners, and the inseminator is a lesbian.

        I am NOT making this up.
