Chronicling the ongoing intersectional struggle to liberate women — inclusively defined as the legacy kind and the transgender individuals — from the Patriarchy™, one microaggression at a time.

Child-Transitioner-in-Chief Randi Weingarten begs WEF to design and enforce international curricula for use in American schools

While the dominant theme at the recent Davos summit was the acknowledgment that globalism in its current form is failing and a recalibration is in order, public school boss and groomer extraordinaire Randi Weingarten refuses to give up the ghost.

Below is the goblinlike, power-mad lesbian’s very long-winded way of demanding the subversion of American sovereignty in order to shove child trannyism and race communism down the throats of every kid entrusted to government custody eight hours a day:

How do we create this partnership between education, labor, government, and industry… When you do it, we, in the United States of America, we have 16,000 school districts. We have over 100,000 schools. There are industry partners all over. And you people were the ones who said ‘you can’t keep on doing this industry by industry.’ You were the ones who said ‘you can’t keep on doing this governor by governor.’ How do we use the WEF to create this kind of integrated network so that we’re all working together?

‘Manufacturing’

Here is Rep. Jan Schakowsky, Democrat Swamp member from the great state of Illinois, musing aloud as to whether women don’t flock to manufacturing jobs because of the combination of letters at the beginning of the word:

Yesterday, I met with a manufacturing company but they also are engaged in getting young people more engaged in manufacturing.

So I asked them: So how many of those students that our signing up and want to do this, how many are women?

And they said well, there... I know there's at least 13% or something. It was a low number and you had mentioned trying to engage more women in manufacturing. I'm just wondering if just the name ‘manufacturing’ sounds like a guy?

“Manufacturing sounds like a guy.”

Amazing syntax.

Anyway, here is a modest alternative proposal, if I may dare to mansplain briefly: Women, as a general rule, are more interested in people while men are more interested in things.

Wildly misogynistic stuff, I know — but, also, universally accepted as an obvious truism prior to the 1960s feminist revolution of the West. 

For the record, although this isn’t directly responsive to the representative’s claim that women don’t join the manufacturing sector because of the name, a study in wildly progressive Sweden found extremely disproportionately negative responses to male applications as compared to female applicants in female-dominated fields, and no difference between the sexes in male-dominated fields. 

Via PLOS One (emphasis added):

We estimated the degree of gender discrimination in Sweden across occupations using a correspondence study design. Our analysis of employer responses to more than 3,200 fictitious job applications across 15 occupations revealed that overall positive employer response rates were higher for women than men by almost 5 percentage points. We found that this gap was driven by employer responses in female-dominated occupations. Male applicants were about half as likely as female applicants to receive a positive employer response in female-dominated occupations. For male-dominated and mixed occupations we found no significant differences in positive employer responses between male and female applicants.
