I don't exactly know how much truth there is in all that, it's just one of the arguments I've heard and it makes sense to me.
Just to clarify, what I meant to write here is that I don't know if it's true that women had more fulfilling lives before.

Dad condemns toxic masculinity after five-year-old son is ridiculed for wearing nail polish
A father has been praised online for sharing a Twitter thread about “toxic masculinity” after his five-year-old son was mocked at kindergarten for wearing nail polish.
Aaron Gouveia, from Massachusetts, is a former journalist, father of three sons and founder of parenting site Daddy Files.
His middle child, Sam, has a number of hobbies that are stereotypically associated with young boys, including playing sports and being interested in trucks.
“When my wife picked him up from school he collapsed into her arms and cried uncontrollably. He was devastated at how other kids turned on him, even his friends.”
Later that day, Gouveia was upset to hear his son ask to have his nail polish removed as a result of the bullying that he’d received.
“My son is far from perfect but he’s got a huge heart and empathy for miles,” he writes.
“He finds beauty in everything around him and for five years he’s never been afraid to be different because different has never meant ‘bad’. Until now.”
In Gouveia’s opinion, Sam’s experience at kindergarten has emphasised the fact that toxic masculinity is taught to children by parents at a very young age.
“My wife and I spent five years successfully preaching tolerance, acceptance, and the importance of expression and your kids unravelled that in one school day,” he writes in a tweet targeted at the parents of the children who derided his son.
“He now feels the shame you desperately want to associate with being different.”
Gouveia encouraged his son to paint his nails an even brighter shade, and to ask the children in his class why they were making fun of him.
Sam’s 10-year-old brother then decided to paint his nails “in solidarity” with his younger brother, with Gouveia following suit.
“Intolerant parents and their offspring scored a minor victory today but they don’t win the war,” Gouveia writes.
“Be brave and shine bright, my beautiful polished boy. Know that mum and dad always have your back and if the rest of the world has a problem with your nails, they can check out my nail polish!”
but can't people see that he's actually doing him a disservice by not using this opportunity to teach him another important lesson? Like the one above about owning not only the "freedom to be different" but also the responsibility that comes with it.
So I guess this story touched a me a bit as it seems important not only for parents but also educators dealing with this kind of issue. What are we teaching to children?
They can say boys can have girls paint, but if one wore other culture's dress it is cultural appropriation.
Pop singer Céline Dion is launching a new line of children’s clothing, and she announced the partnership with Nununu with a creepy, Orwellian advertisement.
In the commercial, which first aired Tuesday, Dion declares, “Our children — they are not really our children, as we are all just links in a never-ending chain that is life.”
“For us,” she continues, “they are everything. But in reality, we are only a fraction of their universe. We miss the past; they dream of tomorrow.”
Then, standing in a neonatal unit flanked by male and female symbolism, the Canadian recording artist says, “We may thrust them forward into the future, but the course will always be theirs to choose.”
While Dion is in the hospital, which she presumably broke into because security guards are trying to find her, the entertainer blows black glitter into the air, magically changing the babies’ pink and blue outfits to black and white, gender-neutral clothes.
All of this happens as a children’s lullaby plays faintly and eerily in the background.
Dion explained during an interview with CNN that she was inspired to design a gender-neutral clothing line after taking her twin sons to Disney World.
Rather than go straight for the superheroes, the singer recalled, her 8-year-old boys were interested in meeting the princesses and Minnie Mouse.
“And then I said, ‘But what about Mickey?’” Dion said. “They replied, ‘Oh, we like Mickey, but can we be…’ And I end up saying to myself, ‘You know what, it’s OK.’ You know why it’s OK? Because they’re talking, they’re finding themselves.”
Dion explained it’s important for parents to let their children inform them about “what they feel like.”
“You don’t know what they’re going to become later,” the 50-year-old celebrity said. “You don’t want for them to have a problem of growth and say, ‘I’m supposed to be like that. I’m supposed to say that. I’m supposed to dress like this. Because I’m a guy, I’m a boy, I’m supposed to do…’ No. No. You don’t know. Let people be who they are as quick and as soon as possible.”
The new line, according to the description on the Nununu website, “liberates children from the traditional roles of boy/girl, and enables younger people to grow on values of equality with the freedom to strengthen their own power of personality based on mutual respect.”
The gender-neutral clothes are available now for order.
Who Is Funding the Transgender Movement?
I found exceedingly rich, white men with enormous cultural influence are funding the transgender lobby and various transgender organizations. These include but are not limited to Jennifer Pritzker (a male who identifies as transgender); George Soros; Martine Rothblatt (a male who identifies as transgender and transhumanist); Tim Gill (a gay man); Drummond Pike; Warren and Peter Buffett; Jon Stryker (a gay man); Mark Bonham (a gay man); and Ric Weiland (a deceased gay man whose philanthropy is still LGBT-oriented). Most of these billionaires fund the transgender lobby and organizations through their own organizations, including corporations.
Separating transgender issues from LGBT infrastructure is not an easy task. All the wealthiest donors have been funding LGB institutions before they became LGBT-oriented, and only in some instances are monies earmarked specifically for transgender issues. Some of these billionaires fund the LGBT through their myriad companies, multiplying their contributions many times over in ways that are also difficult to track.
These funders often go through anonymous funding organizations such as Tides Foundation, founded and operated by Pike. Large corporations, philanthropists, and organizations can send enormous sums of money to the Tides Foundation, specify the direction the funds are to go, and have the funds get to their destination anonymously. Tides Foundation creates a legal firewall and tax shelter for foundations and funds political campaigns, often using legally dubious tactics.
These men and others, including pharmaceutical companies and the U.S. government, are sending millions of dollars to LGBT causes. Overall reported global spending on LGBT is now estimated at $424 million. From 2003-2013, reported funding for transgender issues increased more than eightfold, growing at threefold the increase of LGBTQ funding overall, which quadrupled from 2003 to 2012. This huge spike in funding happened at the same time transgenderism began gaining traction in American culture.
$424 million is a lot of money. Is it enough to change laws, uproot language and force new speech on the public, to censor, to create an atmosphere of threat for those who do not comply with gender identity ideology?
Transgenderism: A New Medical and Lifestyle Market
It seems obvious now to look at the money behind transgenderism. Many new markets have opened because of it. The first gender clinic for children opened in Boston in 2007. In the past ten years, more than 30 clinics for children with purported gender dysphoria have arisen in the United States alone, the largest serving 725 patients.
Comment: This may be correlated to the institutionalisation of transgender propaganda in schools:
Over the past decade, there has been an explosion in transgender medical infrastructure across the United States and world to "treat" transgender people. In addition to gender clinics proliferating across the United States, hospital wings are being built for specialized surgeries, and many medical institutions are clamoring to get on board with the new developments.
Doctors are being trained in cadaver symposiums across the world in all manner of surgeries related to transgender individuals, including phalloplasty, vaginoplasty, facial feminization surgery, urethral procedures, and more. More and more American corporations are covering transgender surgeries, drugs, and other expenses. Endocrinologists seeking the fountain of youth in hormones for more than a generation, and the subsequent earnings for marketing those hormones, are still on a quest for gold.
Puberty blockers are another growing market. The plastic surgery arm of medicine is staged for an infusion of cash as well as organ transplants, especially womb transplants for men identifying as women who may want future pregnancies. These surgeries are already being practiced on animals and the first successful womb implant from a deceased female donor to another female has already been a success. Biogenetics is poised to be the investment of the future, says Rothblatt, who has headed a massive pharmaceutical corporation and is now heavily invested in biogenetics and transplants.
Comment: Swedish doctors transplant wombs into 9 women
Transgenderism has certainly made its way into the American marketplace, so it seems important to consider the implications of this as we pass laws regarding transgender individuals' and our civil liberties. Transgenderism sits square in the middle of the medical industrial complex, which is by some estimates even bigger than the military industrial complex.
With the medical infrastructure being built, doctors being trained for various surgeries, clinics opening at warp speed, and the media celebrating it, transgenderism is poised for growth. The LGB, a once-tiny group of people trying to love those of the same sex openly and be treated equally within society, has likely already been subsumed by capitalism and is now infiltrated by the medical industrial complex via transgenderism.
Celine Dion has launched a new gender neutral line clothing line for children.
Urgh... Why does "gender neutral" need to be so ugly, creepy, depressing and dark? I guess it must reflect the minds or their "designers". And they claim that that way kids are expressing who they are, never mind that they all look depressed or empty. Great...
