Shapiro Calls For Criminalizing “Men Wearing Dresses”

Shapiro Calls For Criminalizing “Men Wearing Dresses”

This is Ben Shapiro.  The head of and the leader of the Daily Wire, one of the biggest right wing media outlets.   His hosts include people like Matt Walsh, Candace Owens, Michael Knowles, Jordan Peterson, Dennis Prager all who have either called for the elimination, deportation, or making completely illegal the LGTBTQ+ community / people.   This is one of the most watched and quoted right wing media, and Shapiro is wrongly considered one of the right’s intellectual.  Several of these people spoke at the CPAC events calling for the extermination of gay and trans people, and all media about the LGBTQ+ community.

I was talking in the comments the other day about what the republicans / the right want to achieve with these drag bans, what their goal is.   It is not to regulate adult entertainment, burlesque, and strip shows with drag performers as those laws already exist.   This is not about normal obscenity such as showing genitals, as again those are already well regulated.   

What is being regulated out of existence, outlawed in public, is what Nan calls cross-dressing and what right means when they say drag.  They want to make it illegal for a man to dress as a woman, to wear a dress / skirt or a woman to wear clothing normally assigned stereotypically to males.   It is about enforcing stereotypes of what is a woman’s role and what is a man’s role even to what clothing each role typically wore then.   Remember the comedy shows in the 1970’s / 1980s where the laugh line was a man wearing an apron?   Well here is Shapiro just saying what the goal is.   Flat out removing trans people from society and public view.   Flat out trying to legislate what a gender can wear based on old stereotypes of gender roles.   The goal is to return to a time when females were in not in men’s jobs, doing men’s work, when women were home in time to make dinner for their husband and wait on him.   All to protect the children, remember?    

First they came for the trans people, but I was not trans … then they came for …  Hugs

“Should wearing dresses and skirts be illegal for men in public? If so, should wearing pants for women in public be illegal in public? Well, pants not so much because there is a female version of pants that is nearly indistinguishable in many cases from male pants. But men wearing traditional female clothing in public – I think that there is a case that local communities should be able to stop that. Sure, I mean, we have local laws about being naked or indecent exposure, at least we used to.” – Ben Shapiro.

We’re all born naked, and the rest is just drag. — Ru Paul

I read a story once about westerners having trouble understanding that in Indian women wore something like pants while men worse robes. This was traditional gender-coded attire in their country. Gender roles differ across time and place. Only right wing Americans who don’t know that there was history before 1950 think that clothing or anything else has a universal meaning.

In the 19th century, Blue was for girls (“like Mary’s mantle”), and Pink was for boys (“his boyish, ruddy cheeks!”).

That was pretty common right up until around WWII. It wasn’t until after the war that it switched around. It was just like the baby dresses they used for both sexes. There are still a few photos around from my dad and my uncle when they were babies and then pre-teens. The short pants are precious.

Oh fuck that. Any actual feminist (meaning, people who aren’t TERFs/”Gender Criticals” aka conservative blowhards) knows that them criminalizing “men wearing dresses” will also inevitably mean criminalizing women wearing pants, which will mean using the violence of government to police womens’ modesty.

In other words, we’ll become Iran after Trump handed the theocrats and autocrats power by rejecting Obama’s deal that was getting them to open up.

Collier teacher under investigation for showing “Confederate History Month” video to school

https://nbc-2.com/news/local/collier-county/2023/04/14/collier-teacher-under-investigation-for-showing-confederate-history-month-video-to-school/amp/

 

NAPLES, Fla. – A teacher at a Collier County school is facing backlash from parents after they showed a video celebrating “Confederate History Month” to the entire school.

The video aired as part of the morning announcements on Tuesday at Manatee Middle School, according to a district spokesperson.

“If you didn’t know, April is an officially celebrated month here in the State of Florida named Confederate History Month,” the teacher said in the video.

The school district wouldn’t identify who the teacher is but said they are investigating.

 

“Every year our state celebrates and memorializes that valiant, brave fight and the countless sacrifices by our men and women during that known as the Civil War,” said the teacher in the video.

The teacher bills the video as a look into the state’s recognition of Confederate History Month.

However, parents call this pro-Confederate propaganda.

“It was very biased seeming,” said Casey Smith. “The confederacy, as far as I’m concerned, has always been a stain on American history.”

“To me, it looks like straight out of a Confederate sympathizer playbook,” said Annie O’Donnell.

At one point in the video, the teacher suggests a different name for the Civil War.

“[The] Civil War, but may be more correctly titled the War To Prevent Southern Independence,” he said.

“No. It is the Civil War,” responded Casey Smith. “It has always been called the Civil War.”

Parents tell NBC2 they have no problem talking about slavery, the Civil War, or our nation’s darkest days.

“Some of this actually sounds very accurate,” Smith said.

The issue they have is with what the teacher made up and put in the video and in front of their child’s faces.

“They spoke about celebrating the confederacy in the State of Florida,” Smith said.

O’Donnell, whose kids don’t go to Manatee Middle School, said it’s important for kids to learn about our nation’s history, but not in a way like this.

“Doing it accurately, holistically, fully,” she said. “I would find it difficult to imagine that the students here are going to be able to trust this particular teacher again.”

The State of Florida does recognize April as Confederate History Month. Several movements in recent years have failed. In Florida, the birthdays of Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis, along with Confederate Memorial Day are all considered state-legal holidays.

Collier County Public Schools said the instruction of Confederate History Month is not a part of the district’s curriculum.

The district wouldn’t identify who the teacher is, but a spokesperson did say they are still employed while the school investigates.

Florida School Celebrates Confederate History Month With Video Praising “Valiant, Brave Fight” Against US

The entire point of America’s civil war was slavery, both the continued practice of it in the states where it existed and whether it would be allowed to spread into the newly conquered and/or purchased territories in the west.

The state leaders, many of whom later joined the seditious Confederate government, said so, repeatedly.

Why did the Confederate states seek to break away from the rest of the Union? Absolutely no other reason was given at the time other than for the preservation of slavery. Period. They believed that the election of Lincoln as President presaged the rise of an unstoppable Abolitionist movement.

Any time some history whitewashing white supremacist tries to claim it was about “southern independence,” it’s time to demand, “Independence from what exactly? What was the southern states’ beef with the rest of the country? Be specific. If you’re going to say, “Washington was too heavy-handed”—exactly about what?”

It was always slavery and white supremacy. Their own leaders confirmed it in countless writings and speeches from those times. Their political and cultural descendants have spent the last century and a half trying excuse sedition, insurrection, and literal treason, and to pretend the secession and war weren’t about maintaining and expanding slavery at all.
