World Of Womanliness
Three snippets on a theme.
First up, because we’ve been starved of irony, some news from Brazil:
Felipe Santos Silva, who has adopted the name Erika Hilton, told the Chamber of Deputies that the Committee should focus on women “without exception in their dignity and plurality,” and included transvestites in his definition.
Because when you think of the dignity of women, you immediately picture drag queens.
Mr Hilton, a member of the Socialism and Liberty Party, has responded to his critics – people suggesting that perhaps the president of a Women’s Rights Committee might be an actual, you know, woman – by denouncing them as “LGBTphobes” and “defenders of paedophilia.” Which may strike readers as a little rich, given statistical realities.
On which, more shortly.
Mr Hilton has filed a criminal complaint against one of his critics, via the Public Prosecutor’s Office of São Paulo – and demands for the equivalent of $1.9 million dollars – on grounds that said critic failed to perceive Mr Hilton as a woman. A failure to affirm, or indeed to hallucinate, that Mr Hilton has seen fit to construe as “violence.”
And because a cake needs icing,
Meanwhile, in the laugh-a-minute world of transgender Reddit moderators:
And from Rhode Island’s educational bureaucracy:
But remember, dear citizen, these are Things That Never Happen.





Who voted for him?
Unclear, but:
We live in an age of wonders.
I have questions.
Adding insult to injury…
Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.
This is a brilliant way to throw a sabot into a Marxist gubmint bureaucracy.
Get them fighting amongst themselves – just like they often do to conservatives.
But it never works out that way. No matter how vicious the intestinal battles, the Left always presents a united front towards outside enemies.
Thing that never happens – special edition!
Indeed it is an oxymoron, with an emphasis on the latter.
However, also in the world of womanliness, a lady is mad, one finds a use for her new house, and a very sound theory.
We’ll be at this all day.
One or two warning signs there, methinks. I mean, many of these progressive ladies seem to be one bad day away from a Thorazine prescription.
I scarcely need to point out the inevitable attempt to conflate a remark clearly aimed at herself, specifically, with a supposed dislike of all women everywhere. As if one must somehow mean the other. On grounds of having no eye-catching shortcomings to be remarked upon, presumably.
As deflections go, it’s quite bold. Or cack-handed.
Will no one think of the pronouns?
She’s just showing us where she’s putting her new

Not unrelated, a choosy beggar.
It’s quiet today, comment-wise.

Speaking of transgender Reddit:
What to call it so it doesn’t sound male.
Septum ring … nuff said. (plus those glasses??!!)
The sort single dads escape from.
A rose by any other name . . .
No sniffing. Just want to be clear on that point.
I’m now pondering the idea that renaming your penis will somehow stop it from being a male sexual organ.
Oh r/trans, never change.
Reply of note.
Given the, um, sensitive topic, I’m wondering whether to leave out knitting patterns to distract the womenfolk.
For decency, I mean.
Don’t want any fainting.
I think this ties several comment threads tovether quite nicely:
renaming penis:
dick–sexual organ, vulgar
Richard–formal, non-sexual, dignified
glad to help
I don’t think the ersatz ones really are…

She only lost because it was a Democratic primary. Republicans would have reelected her by not even showing up to vote. We really should thank the Democrats for this one.
In post-WWII Korea, my dad had to send his men to the company doctor for “short arm inspections”.
You forgot scatological.
This is Bexar County, which Kamala Harris carried by nine points in an election year when the Republican turnout was high. So your assertion that you’re the only real conservative and the other “conservatives” could have stopped the Democrat from getting reelected is patently idiotic.
Brazil, women, “women” …
I used to be well acquainted with three Brazilian ladies, working in Silly Valley. Not people to mess with. I imagine a confrontation between any of them and Felipe Silva would end in bloodshed. Especially Marcia. Hi, Marcia!
I’m a chick who goes on the internet and calls them heifer rings all day long.
So it’s not just men making fun of you, sister. It’s everyone who’s not captured by the mind virus.
Someone says that the septum piercing suggests mental conformity and obnoxious political views. Naturally, she responds with a lengthy, quite vivid display of her mental conformity and obnoxious political views.
And so, a comment about septum piercings gets us, via unconvincing convolution, to the alleged but never specified oppression of “black folks, indigenous folks, Latine folks,” and a pointed, self-satisfied disdain of white men, all white men, as The Pale Satan.
And madam is too busy preening, too busy admiring her own imagined radicalism, to see what has happened. What has been revealed.
Again, as seen many times, it’s a case of wanting to send ostentatious social cues, signals, but not wanting those signals to be understood realistically, or based on past experience, or in ways that are unflattering.
In answer to her question, after Odysseus was done with him not even Polyphemus would have had to guess.
In other news, it is a day ending in Y.
Your assertion is itself patently (where do we file for these patents anyway?) idiotic. Clearly hypothetical comment (see the “would have”) that you needed…for some reason…to put in a different context. Republicans fail time and time and time again to show up for elections. This isn’t just my…assertion, this has been pointed out by many others, even leaders of the Republican Party. Why my pointing this out to you gets your, and apparently at least one other here, knickers in a snit is the tell.

Don’t get cocky. Temps were in the 70’s a couple days ago here. Right now it’s 23 in Freedom degrees. Hoping to get above freezing after lunch time. Assuming the sun comes out.
I should add that by the front door there’s still a bucket of rock salt for gritting. Just in case. At some point, I’m going to have to move it back into the garage. But today is not that day.
The HP Sauce was added. Since you ask.

Not a language anyone recognized. Of course.

I stumbled across this in some CAD-related writing. Doesn’t it sound familiar?

“If you put tomfoolery into a computer, nothing comes out of it but tomfoolery. But this tomfoolery, having passed through a very expensive machine, is somehow ennobled and no-one dares criticize it”.

It’s the noticing that’s the problem.
You must pretend not to see the evil. And then meekly welcome more of it. Until…
If the term evil induces spluttering, I suppose savagery will do. Or for the especially sensitive, profound incompatibility.
