Young Men and the Democrat Party: A Question of Identity
Demonstrated Responses of Liberal Media to Biles-Gaines Dispute Reveals Astounding Detachment of Democrats from Reality
The problem Democrats face in connecting with young men is no mere enigma—it's right there, in plain sight. Some party leaders just don't seem to notice, or possibly prefer to overlook it: the most revered men in the Democrat Party are those who announce themselves as women.
Recent social media altercations between Riley Gaines and Simone Biles have exposed this inner contradiction once more. The drama unfolded as Riley Gaines voiced her dismay over a high school softball team, led by a biological male, capturing a girls' state championship. Biles responded by defending male participation in female sports, raising questions about the Democrats' understanding of gender and sport.
Biles, Gaines, and the Sports World
The liberal media predictably rushed to Biles' defense. Columnist Nancy Armour, known for her incisive sports commentary, penned an article blessingly titled, "Simone Biles shows her greatness again in standing up for the transgender community." In her piece, Armour astoundingly claimed that, "there is no scientific evidence" proving men have a physical advantage over women in sports.
It's baffling that such convincing arguments don't propel Democrats to victory or help them connect with male voters. Strange indeed!
Armour wasn't alone in her stance. An NBC News writer branded Gaines a "critic" of transgender athletes, which was far from accurate. Gaines simply highlights the problems with males participating in female sports, a position reasonable enough for anyone to hold. The writer also overlooked Biles' personal attack on Gaines—baseless accusations that implied Gaines was not female enough.
Amazingly, this journalist was smart enough to realize that Biles' personal assault made her look bad, but not ethical enough to exclude it from the article. Yet, he made a grave error in identifying the team: it was a softball team, not a baseball team. Clearly, adherence to facts is not a priority in some quarters!
The BBC echoed NBC's response, neglecting Biles' derogatory comments.
A Subtle Shade of Bias
CBS took a more moderate stance, yet still revealed their leaning. They reported everything Biles wrote, but their language exposed their perspective. They labeled Gaines as a conservative pundit and someone who is opposed to transgender athletes in women's sports. A more accurate description could be: "Riley Gaines is an advocate for women's sports rights who opposes male participation and invading women's spaces."
For good measure, CBS added an additional comment about Biles: "an outspoken advocate for mental health awareness." While this doesn't seem relevant in this context, it subtly paints Biles in a positive light, contrasting her with Gaines, who is portrayed as less sympathetic.
A closer examination of articles on this controversy reveals a consistent pattern. Nearly every article supports Biles and vilifies Gaines, despite evidence suggesting that Gaines may be on the right side of the argument.
In conclusion, Democrats are now researching why their party is disdained by men. Here's some cost-free advice: cease demonizing men, reject the celebration of men who believe themselves to be women, and renounce labeling masculinity as toxic.
Maybe, just maybe, we'll pay attention to your message then.
