I was watching that opinion piece yesterday and they turned of the comments a couple of times, must have been generating too much traffic [smilebigeye] Then I had to google who on earth "Jan Fran" is, I'm not sure I'm any wiser after finding out...Quote:

They are two completely separate things and its easy enough to look up the difference. There are plenty of other women to follow online and in the media that are actually grounded in reality. I think of her stuff as 'click-bait' and take anything she says with a pinch of salt and move on.
Progressive...
That girl is working for a newspaper, a boomer product if ever there was one. Yet she attacks the boomers, sneers at them in a sense, and the boomer newspaper customers are not all that numerous, they are declining, same as tv boomers. The days and stature of newspapers are passing fast. The newspapers lurk at fast food shops, and can be read for free... but they are not... because the people of all generations are on their phones instead. Or out pushing prams.
Jan's progressive reply to the cartoonist's reply to the haters is so progressive of her. I wonder if Jan subscribes to the feminist scripture and term "Toxic Masculinity".
I would invite any and all cartoonists to make a cartoon attacking this progressive compost.
Here is the idea for the cartoon, from a "tweet". It was a tweet too brief and insightful to be from a newspaper, especially a ailing newspaper worried about upseting PC advertisers (and their advertising accounts).

"Isn't it incredible that a man who feels he is a woman is "born that way" but a man who feels he is a man is a product of social and cultural conditioning?"
Lets see a cartoon pointing out that perforated progressive phallacy.
Yours truly, a semi-boomer.
Well, this went from the sublime to the totally rediculous quickly.
