[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 365042, member: 57984"] Yes, it's all so regressive, while pretending to be progressive. As I've said for a long while, I feel woke-ness has been introduced to undermine the left (and, yes, I mean a deep-state, intelligence plot). But whatever the impetus or source for it, the effect is the same. The interesting effect of recent "equity" standards (which means quotas) being rigidly applied in hiring and education in certain countries (instead of more organic equality), this social engineering approach of, say, forcing institutions to place a certain percentage of women into STEM studies and careers in which many of them aren't really interested (although few are being pushed into bricklaying or sewage careers) is that there has been an almost self-isolating or self-segregating thing going on where men and women are moving toward their old stereotypic career paths than ever. I'm not exactly sure what parallels I'm trying to make here, but when the ultimate end-stage achievement in gay acceptance is that we all now have not only the right -- but the obligation -- to call ourselves "queer" and to run around screaming and flapping our wings in drag while reading to your toddlers from porno novels, no longer rejecting the worst stereotypes but validating them and regimenting them, I just can't believe that that's a step forward. And it's apparently not. Because polls show that gay acceptance is now at a 20 year low, and it's because of all the asinine gender stuff going on which has gone to the center of anything "leftist". What does this have to do with Ryan Murphy's HOLLYWOOD revisionism? Well, if you can neutralize and trivialize the history, un-closet the topic and the people retroactively, no matter how absurdly, it sure seems like there must be a contemporary motive that couldn't possibly be genuinely progressive. The Stonewall riots of 1969, that mythologized touchstone event in gay rights history, has recently become [I]even more[/I] mythologized by spinning it that those riots were started, fought, and won by drag queens. Does that really help?? We've now become so goddamned normal that we're ragingly psychotic by choice, perhaps out of a recreational desire to remain "interesting." Ultimately, women are going to wind up back in the kitchen barefoot and cooking, and gays are going back into public toilets (cooking in a different kind of way) in exactly the way God (and the conservatives, so they'll know where they can find you on their lunch hours) intended it all along.
