Helen Andrews drops a provocative thesis: Feminization = wokeness.
Everything we call "woke"—empathy over rationality, safety over risk, cohesion over competition, inclusion over free speech—is just the natural outcome of institutions becoming majority-female since the 1970s.
She points to surveys: ~2/3 men prioritize free speech, ~2/3 women prioritize inclusive society. Men lean "ethics of justice" (rules/facts), women "ethics of caring" (context/relationships/emotions).
Examples: James Damore fired not for facts but because it made women "feel bad." Kavanaugh hearings: masculine side demanded evidence, feminine side focused on "she's crying."
Her take: When women predominate, politics/institutions tilt toward subjective feelings over objective rules—even if many women reject it (e.g., best Kavanaugh books by women critics).
This 2:46 clip is bold, polarizing, and ties demographic shifts to cultural ones.
Agree it's a key driver of wokeness? Or overreach? What's your read on the gender gaps in free speech/inclusion polls?
This Black Woman Just Demolished the “Trump is Racist”
Lie in Under 60 Seconds 🔥
They keep pushing the narrative that Donald Trump is racist.
Then a fearless, outspoken Black woman steps up and completely destroys that myth with facts, logic, and zero apologies.
Watch her break the silence and expose the real agenda. The left hates this.
The “racist” label is their favorite weapon — and it’s crumbling. #Trump2024 #DonaldTrump #BlackVoicesForTrump #TrumpIsNotRacist #MAGA
In Texas they told me to stop at Buc-ee's for gas.
I have been to shrines. I have stood in temples that took two hundred years to build.
I was not prepared for the gas station.
There were one hundred and twenty fuel pumps.
I counted them because I did not believe them.
A man beside me was filling a truck the size of my first apartment, and he was not filling it because it was empty.
He was filling it because he was here, and here is where a man fills things.
Inside was a hall so vast I lost the horizon.
A wall of jerky. A wall of fudge I did not know the country produced.
A brisket sandwich handed to me by a man in a beaver costume.
And I want to be clear, the beaver is not a mascot.
The beaver is a saint.
The people speak of him the way my grandmother spoke of the mountain behind her house.
And the bathrooms.
I had been warned about the bathrooms and I had dismissed the warning as the pride of a loud people.
I was wrong to dismiss it.
The bathrooms are famous across the whole state and they have earned it.
I have slept in worse hotels. I nearly bowed upon entering.
A janitor was polishing the floor with the devotion of a man tending a garden he loved, and when I thanked him he said "welcome in," which I have since learned is what Texas says instead of hello, and also instead of I am glad you exist.
I went in for gas. I was inside for ninety minutes.
I came out with fudge, a shirt printed with a joke I do not fully understand, forty dollars of jerky, and a feeling I can only describe as having been to church.
I did not need any of it.
I needed all of it.
I have walked through the great cathedrals of the old world. I lit no candle there.
I lit no candle at Buc-ee's either.
But I did fill the truck.
And I understand now that in Texas, this is the same thing.
@wombat_socho@kangminlee@sneako Well, probably we'd want to turn them into more Christians, ideally. But if they refuse to repent and believe in the Gospel and they're hell-bent on our destruction and , then I have no qualms with sending them straight there (🔥🔥🔥)
A Canadian who lived their “universal healthcare” system for 32 years just gave Americans the reality check everyone pushing “Medicare for All” needs to hear.
She didn’t rant. She showed the receipts:
• Nearly 200,000 emergency patients waited 48+ hours for a hospital bed last year alone.
• Almost 1 million Canadians now leave the ER without care because the wait is too long (up fivefold in some reports).
• ER doctors warn these delays are lethal.
• 5.9 million adults still have no regular family doctor.
• Specialist waitlists are exploding — median 28.6 weeks from GP referral to treatment. Some doctors are closing practices to new patients.
• Only 2.5 hospital beds per 1,000 people — well below the OECD average. Hallway medicine is routine. Patients die on stretchers.
Her line hits hard:
“We want universal healthcare… until we learn.”
She’s not wrong. Canada’s single-payer model gives coverage on paper but delivers rationing by queue in practice. Long waits aren’t a bug — they’re the feature when government controls supply and prices.
America’s system is also broken: crushing costs, administrative bloat, and real gaps for the uninsured or underinsured. We spend nearly twice as much per person and still have problems.
The solution isn’t importing Canada’s waiting rooms. It’s fixing supply (train more doctors/nurses, cut red tape), adding real competition and price transparency, expanding HSAs/direct primary care, and protecting innovation.
Be informed before you trade one set of problems for another.
@BrandonStraka Just point them to the linens and bedding section... They'll doubtlessly find some things there that, along with a little alteration with some scissors, will work just fine. ☺️
@Jere_Memez@TRobinsonNewEra Reminds me of the scene in "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" when Lucy and Susan find Aslan tired to the stone table. I hope this turns out similarly. However, without turning to Aslan in repentance and faith, I doubt it will...
@RachelT1722@tacooghost Um... What was that little report Rupert Lowe was reading to Parliament the other day? Something about gangs? Muslims? Grooming?
