According to a New York Post op-ed by David Marcus,
the main branch of the New
York Public Library canceled an event scheduled for January 17th.
Why is this noteworthy? The event was titled, “Evening with Canceled Women.”
(This is not a satire post and you are not reading the Babylon Bee).
Marcus
noted that the event was to be sponsored by the Women’s Liberation Front, a
feminist organization that has the temerity to support a biological
definition of gender. He stated, “The only plausible explanation is that the
NYPL fears backlash from trans activists. That is, the women are being denied a
platform over their objections to trans ideology.” He added that the event was
specifically designed for women who have been the victims of “social-media
bans, protests and hecklers—all for asserting the not-long-ago common view that
gender is based in biological facts, not subjective feelings.” He also observed
that, “In very short order, the academy, the media and the government have simply
decided to overturn thousands of years of the understanding of gender, without
so much as a discussion about it.”
The
event’s organizers have been forced to move the meeting to a “secret location”
that will only be announced to ticket holders the day it is slated to be held,
in an attempt to prevent gender-denying protesters from shutting it down.
Society
has degenerated and devolved so fast that people who wish to state the obvious,
undeniable truth now have to go into hiding to do so, or risk being attacked.
As Marcus pointed out, in just a matter of a few decades, the elites who
control our institutions—and therefore our lives—have attempted to simply invalidate
immutable laws of nature, while simultaneously suppressing any and all forms of
dissent.
The
fact that the “Evening with Canceled Women” event was… canceled…by the NYPL
reads like something from a Monty Python skit. The fact that it is not should
be concerning to all of us. Leftists are typically blind to irony, hypocrisy, humor,
subtlety and introspection. If “the science is settled” on man-caused global
warming, it sure as hell is on the existence of two sexes.
“Evening
with Canceled Women—Canceled” is akin to “Procrastinator’s Anonymous Meeting
Postponed.” Except that the latter is fictitious (at least to my knowledge) while
the former is all too real.
