Tea at Trianon: National Organization For Women Proves It Actually Hates Women

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

National Organization For Women Proves It Actually Hates Women

From Jan Greenhawk at The Easton Gazette:

It's recent news that several current and former NCAA female athletes are suing the NCAA for violating their Title IX rights. Title IX is that act that required schools to provide women equal opportunity to compete in NCAA sports. This was in response to the debacle of Lia Thomas, a biological man, competing as a woman in the 2022 NCAA Swimming Championships.

Thomas, who had been a very low ranked male NCAA swimmer, was able to compete against women and win the 500-meter event. In an event in which he tied for fifth with Riley Gaines, a female swimmer, the NCAA gave Thomas the trophy, telling Gaines, ‘We have to give the trophy to Lia but we respect and admire you so much.’ Gaines said.

Gaines has since testified about the event, and also about the fact that Thomas, a fully intact male, paraded in front of women in the women's lockeroom with his genitals completely exposed.

One would think a National Organization for WOMEN would respond in support of the female athletes involved in the suit.

That would be incorrect.

NOW made a statement over Easter Weekend:

"Repeat after us: Weaponizing womenhood against other women is white supremacist patriarchy at work," the post from NOW said. "Making people believe there isn't enough space for trans women in sports is white supremacist patriarchy at work." (Read more.)
