New York Times praises China’s communist society as 'freedom' that Americans should envy

China unleashed a deadly virus upon the world, told us to protect ourselves from it by destroying our economies, now redefines freedom without natural rights, and tells us to envy their servitude.

Activists push to erase women in both language and in law

The first route is via the Equality Act which has collapsed subjective "gender identity," and objective sex, into one meaningless definition. The second route is to remove sex markers from birth certificates.

Feminism is a political ideology that is about power not women's liberation
