The whole manufactured outrage by the Left is tiresome, boring, and absolutely stupid. Thank you for writing about it. What they don't say is that they would have been happier if a "trans" woman i.e. man would have been on the team.
To me, the story is not the women's hockey team declining the invitation to attend the SOTU address. Their statement was non-political and polite. It should have been a non-story. It is the crazed reaction to it. Manufactured outrage by the left is spot on!
Very true. The women's gold medal game was a week ago and the players have resumed their professional league games and gone back to college. That is why they declined the invitation.
The Olympic women, many of them, but not all, are themselves tiring. They diminish their accomplishments by biting the hand that feeds them, disparaging the society that gives them their opportunity for Gold. All these Olympic women are paid very well to develop their skills by the country they profess to hate. This is also true of American women athletes who train in America at taxpayer / USOC expense and then represent the primary American competitor in the world, China. It is disgusting. Anyone with a bit of perspective would understand that is ethically and morally wrong.
The person who defected to China to represent them, is probably a CCP spy and needs to be interviewed and possibly have their citizenship taken away. DUH.
And just imagine the physical damage that a “trans woman” could inflict on another player. Hockey is a full contact sport. Likely a lot worse with MEN playing dress up as women than the 3 teeth that Jack Hughes lost in his Gold Medal game.
See: Paulo Freire. He was the one who embarked on a program to trick voters into voting to get rid of democracy by replacing education with indoctrination. And while I'm at it, Marcuse was the one who embarked on a program to trick voters into voting to end democracy by replacing free speech with oh so righteous censorship. You are not hallucinating: all of this is not only very real but also quite explicit in their writings.
There's a high chance that the overall program will succeed. Too bad for us that it's a lot easier to establish a One-Party State than to get rid of one ... Big Brother is a lot more powerful than he used to be. Learn to love Big Brother.
Never will love Big Brother. I love the Creator of the Heavens and Earth and pledge allegiance and love his perfect son who sacrificed his life for me, dying in my stead, taking on the consequences for my life-long screw ups.
I hate to say it on Sasha's post, but American women in general are very disappointing. I would not want to be a single male at this stage in history. This Marxist lean of women shows they have been coddled and called "Princesses" most of their lives. The expectation of privilege is tangible. Women carry on their preening and comparing from their childhood years, including demeaning others they consider not as good as themselves. They call men "toxic" as the venom spews from their own mouths. There are plenty of exceptions (my wife, my daughter, Sasha) but most, probably 70-80%, think they are much more equal than others, even as they embrace DEI and anti-American policies. Sad...
You’re talking about liberal women. The world needs much more masculinity. The left would call it toxic, but look at them. Their “men” have been completely emasculated. Real women want real men. Avoid the loons on the left altogether.
Exactly, most women are liberal to "far left". That is what the polls show. According to PEW: "70% of Millennial women identifying as or leaning Democratic". They don't show the Boomer women percentages, my age group, but I know from experience it is about the same. Boomer women in the 70s are who started the ball rolling on the Progressive movement.
Just as so many moderates, like myself, got pushed to the right because the Left has gone so crazy - there are plenty of moderate women who get pushed to the left when Trump makes stupid comments dissing women as he did on this phone call. Total unforced error. Didn’t need to mention them at all. Have the WH make the invitation as they did and the women will politely decline as they did. Knowing Trump he expected them to say no but wanted to prevent any embarrassment. He needs to look to the future and stop being so selfish. JD is going to have enough trouble with the media still bringing up his silly cat lady comment. My point being women are primarily leftists but there are plenty up for grabs if Big Mouth would control himself.
What does conservative vs liberal on policies have to do with a President who has less than 3 years left. That is a copout. I have observed the "liberalness" of women, which actually means authoritarian Karens telling everyone else what to do, for the past 30 years. This is nothing new and should have nothing to do with one man and his 4 year term. It is not Trump who is up for election in November, but it IS conservatives in the Senate and House. Lose that and we lose America. Seems very selfish of moderate women to reduce our country's future to one flawed man. Those women are really no better than Trump
This environment you described has been around for decades. I have lived through First Wave, Second Wave, Third Wave, Fourth Wave feminism. Each wave became more hostile to men and each wave expanded the iron grip that feminism has on the institutions in America. And even with their dominance politically and culturally women think they are oppressed today. Single men today are smart. I married late and when I did, I did not marry an American. I have been lucky in this. Very lucky. But men today MUST be extremely cautious regarding marriage in America.
Why be shy, anywhere, on speaking out on Western women's epidemic of outright entitlement? Accountability is a key aspect of freedom. As is responsibility.
As a conservative grandma with 3 grandsons and 2 granddaughters I make it my station in life to be sure they have conservative values instilled in them. (As do their parents.) First, they are enrolled in private Christian schools. Do what you can to get your children and grands out of public schools. They have become nothing but indoctrination centers for the progressive left.
There needs to be a way for conservative men to find like minded women. It’s just difficult for them to meet them…it certainly won’t happen at a university unless it’s a Christian College. People used to meet at church, but that rarely happens anymore. With our youth spending so much time on social media, they don’t meet others face to face.
The women’s Liberation movement morphed into what we see now, and it will be our undoing as a society, if we don’t stop it in its tracks. We need strong men and strong fathers (and mothers) raising strong sons (and daughters).
Sasha, great piece. How long will this psychotic nonsense continue? Gender ideology is a warped and twisted system if virtue-signaling beliefs that has no basis in fact.
Trump's joke was innocuous and said to ruffle the feathers of the Democrats, whom he knew would be disparaging of the men's hockey team's spirited joy for a US win. A gold medal win for the men's team in 46 years would not be honored so why not throw some shade at the Dems? Too bad, the women's hockey team doesn't see the forest for the trees. They may be loosing teeth left and right when the big trannies join the league.
TDS is a terrible disease. It forces those who suffer it to insist men can have babies when they know they can't. The result is deep misery. Scott Adams rightly described it as cognitive dissonance.
Love you, Sasha, but you're adopting the left's spin and being unfair to the women's hockey team. (Recall the mother of the Hughes brothers helped that team to the gold.) This from Grok: "It was simply because the invitation interfered with previously scheduled academic and professional commitments right after the Olympics—not a political snub."
I've read something similar. I didn't see the specific announcement but it seems the women's team simply declined the offer with no other comment, unlike the soccer team rejecting the WH invitation during the Trump 45 admin. Unlike the men's team which I believe is mostly NHL players, the women's team is mostly college players, and their season break for the Olympics is over plus they've missed several weeks of school. Let's hold fire until the both get an actual WH invite.
The women's hockey team turned down a last minute invite to the State of the Union citing scheduling issues. And honestly, I believe that was probably the case for most of the players.
I also wouldn't be surprised if the team just wanted to stay out of it all.
The team linked arms and sang along during the national anthem so they're no less patriotic than the men's team or Alysa Liu.
And neither Kash Patel's presence in the locker room with the men's team nor the phone call between the team and the President are anything to get upset about.
Even my much-further-to-the-left-than-me husband said "Who the hell cares?" when we saw coverage of this on the news last night.
I was half expecting the Wisconsin players linking up to sing "Varsity." Perhaps they and their former team-mates with Canada and Switzerland did so after the medals.
What are we going to do in 10-15 (or fewer!) years when American women will no longer communicate with or associate with American men? I guess this is the “Green Marxist” dream: nuclear destruction of the family combined with no more reproduction this removing human “parasites” from the planet.
Seems like young men are being shoved to the right, while young women are running to the left .
Newsom cares about one thing and one thing only : Newsom. He is a far less talented, less intelligent, and literally more pale shadow of Obama.
The hypocrisy of the left knows no limits- now they know what women are…if they didn’t have something to be wildly offended by what would they do with their time?
... apparently, have a separate *rally* called the *People's SOTU* ... and coming from democrats seems a bit strange ... what are the rally cries going to be?
...More Ferraris for Somalis ... Solidarity with Stupidity ... Unity thru Autopen ...
The letter from the Women’s hockey team declining the invite from the President was very gracious, and expressed their appreciation for being invited but players other game schedules and commitments made it not possible. But it was a nice letter. Newscum just tried to co-opt it as a win for the Lefty’s. It had zippo to do with politics. Even some of the men’s team weren’t sure they’d be able to make it due to scheduling conflicts.
I actually think the women's team had conflicts....they had a lot of NCAA players who need to get back to their teams after missing a month....and the pro players have games tomorrow. I give them a pass since they sang their hearts out when getting their medals. I am sure Trump will honor them tonight....hopefully all the Olympians get a shout out....even the jerks.
Like what is even the point anymore? If their team isn’t in charge or perceived as the popular choice it’s the end of the world. Never an inch for “the other team”. I hate the state of almost everything anymore. Literally the only Dem I can think of who ever says anything nice about anyone remotely “the right” is Fetterman. Everything is always terrible, our country sucks, we are the source of all evil in the world, etc., because people exist (they live next door to you!) with different opinions and OMG they decided to go in a different direction than you. Do they mean well? Of course not. They aren’t just wrong, they are evil. The biggest threat is to you is your neighbor. This is the current state of the left. Nothing to be happy about, unless it is denigrating the right. Nothing to strive for. Nothing to come together over, unless it’s to bash the president or the right. I’m so tired of this sick game of politics as a blood sport in this country
Seals the deal, The next USA Women’s team will be made up entirely of Trans men/she/they/them. Canada will get smoked 20-0 and not just lose in overtime, and then THEY will get an all male team and level the playing field or ice rink in this case. The Canadians will be happy and 5% of the USA will be happy. Little girls playing hockey in the USA and Canada? Not so lucky or happy. But, as Lenin understood so well, some sacrifices have to be made in order for the dialectic to succeed and proceed to the next level. As to Gavin Newsom, he outed himself to the world with his book, boring, dull, self indulgent low IQ, and then laid it on the black community. “See!! I am dumb as a rock…just like you all! They gonna put us all back in chains.” Gavin…Frederick Douglas taught himself to read so he would end his enslavement. Try picking up a long book and see if you can get past the introduction.
The whole manufactured outrage by the Left is tiresome, boring, and absolutely stupid. Thank you for writing about it. What they don't say is that they would have been happier if a "trans" woman i.e. man would have been on the team.
Tiresome. EXACTLY. So burnt out on the constant outrage. Just tuning them all out.
Same...even as I know how dangerous it is to 'tune out'....
To me, the story is not the women's hockey team declining the invitation to attend the SOTU address. Their statement was non-political and polite. It should have been a non-story. It is the crazed reaction to it. Manufactured outrage by the left is spot on!
Very true. The women's gold medal game was a week ago and the players have resumed their professional league games and gone back to college. That is why they declined the invitation.
Even if it wasn't for that reason… I appreciate that they waited until after the games and they were home.
The Olympic women, many of them, but not all, are themselves tiring. They diminish their accomplishments by biting the hand that feeds them, disparaging the society that gives them their opportunity for Gold. All these Olympic women are paid very well to develop their skills by the country they profess to hate. This is also true of American women athletes who train in America at taxpayer / USOC expense and then represent the primary American competitor in the world, China. It is disgusting. Anyone with a bit of perspective would understand that is ethically and morally wrong.
The person who defected to China to represent them, is probably a CCP spy and needs to be interviewed and possibly have their citizenship taken away. DUH.
The women would have won gold with a roster stacked with “trans” women. Hahaha
They DID win the gold. In overtime with a truly spectacular goal.
And just imagine the physical damage that a “trans woman” could inflict on another player. Hockey is a full contact sport. Likely a lot worse with MEN playing dress up as women than the 3 teeth that Jack Hughes lost in his Gold Medal game.
I’d add performative to your excellent list.
As always, they accuse the other side of doing the things they do.
Projection Professionals
"The Women's Hockey team serves the American Left, not the American people."
Indeed.
“Give me just one generation of youth, and I'll transform the whole world.”

Here we are and I would just hope they realize they are the Mensheviks as Sasha did(thank G-d). The Bolshevik supporters are always killed first.
Democrats destroyed and took over education. They destroy everything they touch
Yes, they do, sir.

Women’s hockey is no different than the WNBA. Nobody cares.
WNBA is entertaining in a professional wrestling sort of way. I call it the FPF. (Females Politely Fighting)
I can’t do it. No interest.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not sitting and watching games. I just like the foul highlights on youtube
That’s good. I was worried about you for a second!
Well, a lot of people actually DO get exited about WNBA, but not me…
Proof our national IQ is dropping.
