Re “Diversity – How Important Can It Be?”
Meghan Sahli-Wells’s audience is not demanding. They are seldom disappointed.
The City Councilwoman and her crowd know the victimology drill. The script never varies, a separate subject.
Like an automatic leftist, shock is her coziest value, the shortest route to attention.
Two weeks ago on the dais, Ms. Sahli-Wells pronounced it “shocking” that she is only the fifth distaffer to be elected to the City Council in 100 years.
She is correct — only if she finds a blue sky or green grass shocking. Hmmm.
She also was linguistically imprecise.
Had she said she was disappointed, that would have been accurate. To brand it “shocking” – for shock value — suggests a failure to understand history
The paucity of women on the Council is exactly the opposite of shocking.
Most ladies of Culver City have been tending to their more important traditional duties. Research has shown ladies – secure types — are not attracted to being competitive. Emphatically that is not a sign of inferiority, merely one of the many natural distinctions between males and females.
Specializing in victimhood, Ms. Sahli-Wells declined to contextualize her argument, weakening her assertion.
How many women have lost Council races in Culver City?
Three women have run and won in recent years. Each has made notable contributions – Jozelle Smith, Carol Gross and Ms. Sahli-Wells.
Therefore, what?
The overwhelming majority of women here and everywhere else in our recovering country believe they can make greater contributions to society through traditional channels, a concept leftists loathe.
