That was three days before Christmas, and look what The New York Times has done:
Become the first (and hopefully last) newspaper on planet earth to hire a gender editor.
Schlepping down the long, dusty, sometimes lonely, road of life, you may be pardoned for idly wondering, what does a gender editor do?
Jessica (I Am a Victim) Bennett, who appears to be a lifelong female, said: “I see gender as a lens through which we view global storytelling.”
Suspecting correctly that her words sounded nonsensical, she tried to be clearer. “That means writing about feminism and women’s roles in politics, culture and economics.”
Then Ms. Bennett dipped both feet back into slimy mud:
“It also means covering masculinity and sexuality and gender fluidity and race and class and looking at science and health and parenting and parenting and sports all through this lens.”
What, praytell, is gender fluidity?
Jessica says she wants to raise gender awareness. Eh, wot? Surveys show that 100 percent of normal Americans and 3.4 percent of leftists have memorized and accepted their gender.
Despite leftist clamor to the opposite, medical professionals repeatedly have assured us that “transgender” is a made-up term and concept. A man cannot become a woman any more than he can become a bear or a werewolf. Nor can a woman switch. It is a fairy tale.
A few lines later, Jessica the bear, the werewolf, the woman, the gender editor, said she looks forward to the day “when my job no longer has to exist.”
So do I.
As I recall, only three of my four sons wanted to be gender editors when they matured.
To remind us one more time that she is a victim, Jessica reached for her two left-wing claw hammers, one for each hand.
“The reality is that media long has been created by and for white men.”
Revenge is mine, said Ms. Bennett.
“I don’t think it’s partisan or not neutral to say that is no longer the world we live in. Our coverage should reflect that.”
