• Eleanor Holmes Norton, congresswoman from DC, introduces bill to require crash test dummies to be modeled on both male and female bodies.
• Progressives insist that transsexual females (biological males) be allowed to compete in women’s sports.

Human beings are fallible. There is no way to be sure you are right. But there is a way to be sure you are wrong: contradict yourself. That way you are sure to be incorrect at least 50% of the time. And if you choose your positions carefully, you can be wrong all the time.

Is there no practical difference between male and female bodies? Then biological males CAN compete fairly in women’s sports, but we DON’T need female crash dummies.

Is there a practical difference between male and female bodies? Then biological males can NOT compete fairly in women’s sports, but we DO need female crash dummies.

Well, which is it? You can’t have it both ways. Only small children believe they can have it both ways. In fact, small children insist on having it both ways. But many progressives act as if they were small children. They insist on having things their way, and throw tantrums when they don’t.

Female crash test dummies? Why not transsexual crash test dummies? What about crash test dummies of various races and ethnic groups? And if we run short of dummies, we can find plenty of politicians who qualify.

Once we leave logic and common sense behind, there is no limit to where we can go in the Land of Victimhood. But hang on. The ride will be really bumpy. And the destination won’t be a pleasant one.
