I go to a gym in a very liberal part of a pretty liberal city- think BLM and pride flags on religious institutions, congressional rep among the most committed to destroying women's rights through trans.
When I joined, I noticed a sign on the door to the women's locker room about inclusion yadda yadda. I.e, "don't complain if you see dick in here." I've always been pretty wary changing in there and on the lookout for pervs. I've been especially concerned since it's a community gym and I was in there once with a gaggle of 7th graders all changing for swimming, just worried about possible scenarios--I've seen trans identified males in the gym but not the locker room.
I've been kind of scheming/fuming about the sign, like thinking of surreptitiously stickering it. But a couple of weeks ago when I deliberately went to suss it out for sabotage I realized it was gone, replaced by a large general "gym rules" sign. Then I saw there was a large rainbow (but not progress pride) sticker on the mirror at the sinks. It said a lot about protecting race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc., but of course not sex itself. It pissed me off all over again when I read it. I thought perhaps I had confused where the sign was as I hadn't noticed it on the mirors before. Had a dream about stickering it a few days ago; went in today and POOF! It's gone!
I really, really hope this is a sign of mass peaking. I'm delighted. I might even try out their premium membership which gives access to a sauna-- I hadn't signed up before becuase I didn't want to deal with dick in there.
Onward!
Now imagine a woman shows up like that to any function; the comments would be nasty, misogynist, she'd be shamed, and no one would take her seriously. Hell, when Angela Merkel dared to wear a gown with a bit of décolleté, she was shamed as if there was no tomorrow - "she's too old for that, it looks awful, how on earth can she do that yadayadayada". But if a man does it, he's brave and stunning and we're supposed to worship him.
No German woman would ever dare to show up like this AGP in a professional or political setting. She would immediately lose any credibility. It is such a shame that this guy is still a valued member of the Green Party and a member of the German Bundestag.
Oh, patriarchy's new dress code just dropped, how lovely.
Germany's government has lost the plot, and all the female politicians happily clap along to the TWAW chants while throwing their feminist sisters under the bus.
Edit: the most worrying part however is of course how utterly undemocratic this "discussion" progresses. Critics are silenced and their statements are ignored.
How was he even let in the building dressed like that? This is so fucked.
Look at what this fucking AGP is wearing to address government officials. His store bought tits gets him an invite while her doctorate leaves her literally silenced and marginalized. I am so sick of this crap.
