Madison Avenue Gaslighting.

You know how ignorant, hick, redneck, rube, bourgeoise, uncool, unhip, middle class yokels are always spotting "secret coding" in hip, trendy advertising that they think is mocking them?

Maybe they think that because it happens?

It turns out that some women - radical, crazy lesbians, actually - also have problems with the politically correct cant that men can become women.

So....yes...we've gotten to the position where only the crazies can speak the truth.

The word "women" no longer describes "people who can get pregnant"...

...according to our wacky betters.

That will undoubtedly be something else that everyone will have to agree to in about 5 years.

//But the spirit of the age is against the old lesbians:

The members of the board of the New York Abortion Access Fund, an all-volunteer group that helps to pay for abortions for those who can’t afford them, are mostly young women; Alison Turkos, the group’s co-chair, is twenty-six. In May, they voted unanimously to stop using the word “women” when talking about people who get pregnant, so as not to exclude trans men.

(Cue Theodore Dalrymple on how the purpose of politically correct propaganda is not “to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better.”)

There’s a certain historic irony and inevitability to lesbian feminists being routed by the only people claiming to be women who are even more ferociously masculine than themselves: individuals with actual Y-chromosomes.//
