`Ello chaps! Mouse here weighing in on the distressing prospect of raising a gender-neutral ehh….offspring, in the midst an oppressive society meanly clutching to the bygone vestiges of the great enemy of civilization—patriarchy.
Yes, patriarchy, the biblical model that protected and provided for billions of wives, daughters and sisters over the last 6000 years. It’s bad. All of the feminist teachers at your local wokeness University agree (including all lefty SDA schools). Biblical patriarchy is a non-starter in our enlightened era of rebel women, soy boys and neck beards. But I disgress, chaps.
In case you needed reminding that leftism is foaming-at-the-mouth crazy, check out this letter to Slate from a distressed SJW Yankee mother. Just look at that headline. "My daughter wants to wear pink dresses ... where did we mess up?" Can it get any more bonkers than that?
“My husband and I have a frequent disagreement on our 3-year-old and her love for dresses and all things pink! For the first two years of her life, she was constantly mistaken for a boy because she wore gender-neutral clothes. We direct her towards books and other media that do not represent traditional gender roles (no sparkle princesses!). We ask friends and family to refrain from commenting on her appearance and clothing, if they can help it, and to instead focus on skills or interests. However, our daughter adores the color pink, insists on wearing dresses, and is currently obsessed with accessories. I am fine with this, though I hope it will be a phase.
After a few battles about wearing her sole pink dress when it was dirty, my daughter and I did some online shopping together and she chose a few more dresses to order (all of them were pink, obviously). My husband is unhappy that I encouraged her obsession by purchasing the dresses and letting her wear some of my old jewelry. He gets annoyed when dresses get tangled while climbing a rock or running and says that dresses and accessories aren’t suitable for doing most things. I appreciate his commitment to raising our daughter without gender stereotypes, but I also want to encourage her to make her own choices. I feel like if we push back too hard on her love for dresses and jewelry, it will backfire, and she will only become more obsessed! Help!
—Pretty Annoyed With Pink”
OH PLEASE HELP!
This is where we are now as a society, chaps. A lady has a three-year-old girl who acts like a three-year-old girl and that so traumatizes her that she writes a frantic HELP! letter to Slate—of all places!
After Slate responded with some dreadful advice for the dotard parents, they try to talk them back from the edge, assuring them that patriarchy is the real enemy. And misogyny. And discrimination. They did all this without pointing out that the mother is ‘discriminating’ by assuming the gender of the child by referring to her as a HER. Horrors!
The hard Left is so into performative wokeness that they sacrifice their own children on that altar. They raise them with daily nudges toward homosexuality and/or transgenderism. But it’s worth it all if it makes the parents feel more progressive, right? Indeed not. It's child abuse, really, in spite of the mother saying “I am fine with this, though I hope it will be a phase.” Oh, sure you’re fine with it lady… Which is why you wrote this gormless eggplant question to Slate.
It’s quite clear that the 3 year old has more common sense than her parents. Maybe she can raise them instead.
These parents have a severe mental illness, their self-awareness level coming in at a solid zero.. I do hope they don’t have another tilt at creating a child, at least not until they discover a cure for being dead from the chin up.
But there is hope, lads. It is after all, the Good Book that can cure everything from hobnockers to bedswervers, and whiffle-whaffle wokesters obsessing over the best way to destroy the identity of their child. God’s Word knows who we are, and presents our true identity in Christ Jesus (1 Cor. 6:20).
I’m off to ride my seeing eye horse into the sunset, tally ho.
