[/quote]I do.  That's one of the ways I know PP needs to turn off MSNBC.  I mean, Dems are now supposed to pretend that we don't know what a woman is.  So it's ironic for someone to say that Republicans are trying to take away women's rights.[/quote]

People who care more about a manufactured LGBTQ issues than a woman’s right to control her own body probably aren’t D to start with. 
[/quote]Manufactured?  Biden is trying to change Title IX so that men who either believe they are women or who are pretending to be women can play girls' and women's sports, use their bathrooms and locker rooms, be sentenced to women's prison, use women's shelters.[/quote]

Yes, this is manufactured to spin people up. This is not an 80s sitcom, people do not get their birth certificate reissued or take expensive medication so they can pee in the stall next to you for nefarious purposes.

If you're worried about assault, let's talk about assault - there's little preventing a cis man from walking into a womens bathroom or locker room today, after all, so if that's a real worry then let's explore that instead of demonizing a tiny group of people who aren't hurting you. [/quote]There are laws and social contracts preventing men from entering women's reserved spaces.  If Title IX is changed so that a women is defined as anyone who says they're a woman, those protection disappear.  This is especially bad for womens' and girls' sports, women's prisons, abuse shelters, etc.  The fact that you deny this means you're either a misogynist or so woke you've lost your mind.[/quote]

What % of assaults are actually committed by cisgender men vs transgender women?

I’m not hearing any Rs complain about the huge number of assaults that are [u]actually[/u] happening by cisgender men. Only these fantasy assaults by transgender women.

If Rs cared so much about women then why do they want to protect rapists. Why aren’t they doing something about assaults?

If they cared about women’s sports then why aren’t they pushing for gender equity in sports?

This is not about protecting women for Republicans. It’s about hurting transgender people. 
[/quote]First of all, I'm a Democrat.  Now on to your questions.  Males commit 99.5% of all sexual assaults against women regardless of their gender identity.  So the answer to your question is irrelevant.  All males should be banned from women's spaces.  And you're not hearing Republicans complain about normal men assaulting women?  You need to get out more.  As for sports, Title IX covers amateur sports quite well (unless Biden or someone else changes it to include males as women).  As for pro sports, it's a capitalist endeavor so female athletes are paid what they earn.  Actually, I take that back.  Many are paid more than they earn because they are subsidized by men's sports.  Your bemoaning gender equity just men's they aren't taking enough from the men and giving it to the women for your liking.  Nine of this is an excuse to allow males to play women's and girls' sports.[/quote]

I saw the Rs protecting rapists on campus. I saw them elect/nominate abusers.

And there is much more to gender equality in sports than pro sports. How about equity for HS and college sports? Support to actually enforce Title IX?

[/quote]LOL. That article is about BJK growing up 70 years ago and then cited data from 2003.  This is a typical woke tactic, pretending things are exactly as they were in the past.  But as the the father of daughters, I would support enforcing Title IX more stringently.  That includes keeping males out of girls' sports.[/quote]

You stopped reading too early. The article talks about how we still have a long way to go with women's athletics today.

There are many ways you can actually support your daughters and women’s athletics:

[/quote]No.  I read the whole piece.  The last part is where it really jumps the shark when they say that banning males from women's sports is discriminateoy to women which is insane.[/quote]

Oh fun. Are you going to mansplain to BJK about gender equality in sports? 
[/quote]Typical woke trying to gatekeep who gets an opinion on what.  Gender equity affects both genders, all two of them, because with equity and authoritative body takes from one and give to another like with socialism.  So everyone can have an opinion on gender equity.[/quote]

So gender equity is a form of…socialism?

You should discuss this with your daughters and wife and get their take on it.
