Not All Princesses Dress in Pink

A teacher mentioned today that she read this book for her class, proving again that parents have no control over the propaganda being pushed in the name of "public education." We live in an age when cultural Marxism has taken over our state institutions. Even in red-about-to-turn-purple Texas, a "transgender boy" (born female) won the state girls' wrestling championship for the second year in a row. Some conservative state Texas is, when (1) it sponsors a wrestling championship for teen-aged females and (2) permits a teenaged-female undergoing hormonal "therapy" to participate in that championship.

It says something when out of all normies it's the Latin traditionalists who have anything close to a sensible policy regarding sex distinction. (I'm not including groups like the Chassidim and Amish who exclude themselves from normal society to one degree or another.)

Who remembers the US women's soccer team for their girl power brashness and lack of sportsmanship when they were eliminated in the last World Cup? That sort of arrogant, loutish behavior needs an appropriate response, and fake chivalry is not it.

"John Mosby" has something relevant for the culture war:

Ultimately, as in so many other ways, we are social creatures by design. 'No man is an island,' as the man said. No matter how well-intentioned you are about making courageous choices, if you surround yourself with cravens, you will make a coward’s choices. You may chalk it up to 'department policy,' or 'well, everyone is doing it,' but at the end of the day, you are making the choice, and those around you are not only facilitating it, they are encouraging it.
In Forging the Hero, I spent a lot of time explaining the concept of innangarð, and that our tribe/clan/community is defined as those who share our values, as evidenced by shared traditions and customs. If you identify as part of a tribe, or 'inner circle of trust,' no matter how lightly, that practices behavior (customs and traditions) that evidence cowardice as a value, then you will succumb to the ease of cowardice.
Don't capitulate to the cultural Marxists, or accept the status quo and the harm it is doing to the next generation in order to be accepted or to avoid trouble. If you act like a cuckservative, you will be recognized as one and deservingly outgrouped by those seeking to build a sane, virtuous community.
