No, the 1000’s of ladies demonstrators outdoors the State Home the opposite day weren’t coming after Billy Galvin, the secretary of state, who works there.
They have been after Elon Musk, who doesn’t.
It solely appeared that they have been after Galvin, 75, of their scorched earth demonstration, since he’s the one man left holding statewide workplace, an workplace he has held for greater than 30 years.
All the opposite statewide places of work from Gov. Marua Healey all the way down to state Auditor Diana DiZoglio are held by girls, together with Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll, Legal professional Common Andrea Campbell, and state Treasurer Deborah Golberg.
So clearly, Billy, the final man standing, has obtained to go to make for a clear sweep.
Additionally, the state Senate is commanded by Senate President Karen Spilka. And whereas the Home remains to be run by a person, Speaker Ron Mariano, it’s only a matter of time earlier than he’s adopted by a lady, or not less than a person in transition.
The mayor of Boston, Michelle Wu, is a lady, as is U.S Legal professional Leah Foley.
So, what’s the meat?
As well as, one in all our two U.S. senators is a progressive girl, whereas the opposite one talks like one. And whereas solely three of the state’s 9 progressive members of the U.S. Home of Representatives are girls, all of them vote alike.
When you don’t suppose so, then simply take a look at their vote on Home-approved laws, stymied within the Senate, that might ban boys and males from collaborating in women and girls’s sports activities in colleges and faculties.
In an period when 80% of individuals polled don’t need males competing in girls’s sports activities, all 9 members within the Home and each Senators. Elizabeth Warren and Eddie Markey additionally voted towards banning them.
In different phrases, they voted in favor of permitting boys and males who establish as women and girls to compete with them in girls’s sports activities.
Consequently, males who fail to win something in faculty swimming, as an illustration, compete as organic males towards girls and win occasions they might not beforehand have gained competing towards males.
Unusually, all of the politicians are Democrats who, cult like, imagine within the safety of ladies’s rights, besides relating to defending girls from organic males competing as girls in feminine athletic occasions.
Whereas the ladies demonstrators on Worldwide Girls’s Day marched to the State Home after a protest outdoors a Tesla showroom on Boylston St., no point out was manufactured from permitting males to take part in girls’s sports activities.
As an alternative, they held indicators and chanted about Musk proposed cuts within the federal workforce, immigration, homosexual rights, trans rights, racism, tax coverage and the preventing in Gaza and Ukraine.
No person chanted in favor of defending girls in highschool and faculty sports activities from competing with organic males collaborating as girls.
The problem was in entrance of their eyes, however they appeared away.
That is comprehensible in case you are a progressive girl as a result of none of your progressive Democrat Celebration leaders, in concern of offending the miniscule trans neighborhood, are in favor of defending girls athletes.
Massachusetts has two good examples. One is Gov. Maura Healey, who, regardless of standing 5-feet, 4-inches, starred at girls’s basketball at Harvard. She hardly would have been such a standout had she been compelled to play towards 6-foot, 4-inch males towering over her.
The opposite is U.S. Rep. Lori Trahan of Westford. She gained a school scholarship to Georgetown College for ladies’s volleyball when she performed towards women, not organic males. Had she performed towards boys in highschool, chances are high she wouldn’t have gotten that scholarship.
But each are towards banning organic males from competing towards girls in girls’s sports activities.
Go determine.
