Controlling the language = controlling the narrative

 I was talking with a friend last night about language and PC censorship.  Common usage like ‘bullet-points’ are now ‘triggering’ to some people.  And then I found this article about Megyn Kelly who has learned that when our language is controlled, to an extent, our actions are as well.  

From the article:

“I was an early proponent of using preferred pronouns as far back as the early 2000s. Of saying ‘she’ when I knew the truth was ‘he.’ It seemed harmless, and I had no wish to cause offense. Trans people were tortured enough, it seemed to me, by nature of their dysphoria and society’s disdain for them in general. So I complied. I went along with it,” she said.

“I didn’t see the harm,” she said.

But because of this (and I will admit that I used to do the same), we have skied down the slippery slope to people at risk of getting fired for not using a person’s ‘preferred pronoun’.  It was the camel’s nose under the tent that has ultimately led us to men in womanface singing about anal sex in front of children.

Women, real biological women, are being erased in favor of men dressed as women (or even men who don’t even make that much of an effort and just say they are women–beard and all).

I think it’s the next step in the destruction of our world.  First, men and boys were attacked and marginalized.  ‘Toxic masculinity’ was a phrase bandied about freely.  Drugs were used on boys acting like boys in school.  Then their sick and brainwashed mothers decided to turn them into girls.

But then girls are marginalized. Spaces, sports, beauty contests–all being won by sick men and those who support their illness rather than calling it like it is.

When the fundamental basis of our world-men and women, no longer exists, then how can civilization stand?

  6. Woman… Dagnammit…. Ladies! Females! Humans born with XX chromosomes.Funny… how even the language has become “FLUID”, right? I OWN… a HARDCOPY, UNABRIDGED Dictionary (I LOVE THAT THING) and I defer to THAT quite often.Indeed. I also defer to a quote from an auld tome…. “Never attempt with words that which can be readily accomplished using a flame thrower.” – Flex Crush (The fictional protagonist, “Real Men Don't Eat Quiche”I've so often re-visited that tome and it's sequel “Real Men Don't Bond” because whilst tongue in cheek, it's SO counter to the “toxic masculinity” ploy…I bagged Gilette ages ago. The attack on Men was bad enough. This all out “Assault” on the LADIES is stupefying and downright scary.Nullify MEN (the PROTECTORS of WOMEN) THEN… go after the Women. Strategy? Hmmmmm…. Control MY language? Good luck with that.As to the term “Fag”… here in the US not so much… but in the UK it was quite common to “Step outside for a quick Fag (cigarette)” I don't know if that's the case any more. I rather doubt it.
