Classic Punching Down...

It's a shame the good law professor did not debate fellow academic John McWhorter* in his column comments in the NYT on this, which is essentially about language issues.  Instead old Annie tries to make the issue, somehow, about White Women Public Safety, and baits her readers to hatred in the comments that she and her husband moderate.  Nothing new under the sun, indeed.

I find it perfectly amusing that the cast of Hamilton is revealed in this story as exhibiting in fact the very "-isms" nad "-phobias" with which these same people denounce others, often with zero truth to the accusations.  Fire them all. Cancel the play. Burn the theater. Salt the earth. Hamilton is a hotbed of hate.

I'm sure she'll have the power to rein them in when the calls advance from just burning the theater and salting the earth to burning out the tranny actors inside.  White Lady Power and all.  She can put it back in the box, right? Sad. 

Well I'm for love, I'm all for happiness, and I'm for if-you-don't--likeit-can't-you-just-let-it-pass?  And I'm for turning up the music, or turning down the lights, and I'm for nothing more than me and you tonight... ~Hank Jr.

Love rules.  Love wins.  Haters gonna hate. The pushback,in her own comments section, has come for her already...  Evolve already people, evolve!

Strick said... Isn't the real issue that the presumably woke members of the cast were teasing and taunting a trans member of the cast? The dressing room request was apparently an attempt to avoid that issue in a hostile work place, right?

Right.

*   Not sure if recommending to others is pretentious, but the good law professor subscribes to the NYT and should sign-up for the gender-based language discussion tonight with her son's hero McWhorter (he links to the man a  lot) and other Times staffers.  With a closed noggin like hers, I don't think she will learn anything new so much, but at least she'll be punching in her preferred playground:  the safety of academia where the words and names rarely retreat to violence over these issues, like in the real world where her commenters spew from...

Fire them all. Cancel the play. Burn the theater. Salt the earth.

But always, always, always:  protect the pink princesses in the ivory towers!  They're afraid, on behalf of their gender, and thus justify (and even encourage) the hatred and violence against their trans-sisters. That's the opposite of trying to learn and grow and understand, even at an advanced age... Sad.
