A Finnish politician who was on trial over her Christian beliefs on marriage and sexuality was found not guilty after the “hate crime” charges she faced were dismissed on Tuesday. 
Parliamentarian Päivi Räsänen faced state charges related to her sharing a 2019 tweet that included pictures of Bible verses,  a radio debate she had in 2019, and a pamphlet she wrote on marriage back in 2004. The Helsinki Court of Appeal unanimously dismissed the charges and those faced by Bishop Juhana Pohjola, who published Räsänen&#8217;s 2004 pamphlet called “Male and Female He Created Them.”
“I am deeply relieved. The court has fully endorsed and upheld the decision of the district court, which recognized everyone’s right to free speech,” Räsänen <a href="https://adfinternational.org/breaking-finnish-parliamentarian-found-not-guilty-of-hate-speech-for-bible-tweet-and-other-expressions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> after the court ruling was announced. 
Räsänen, a member of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/finland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Finnish</a> parliament, was supported in her defense by the Alliance Defending Freedom International. The prosecution must cover Räsänen’s legal bills according to the appeals court. 
“It isn’t a crime to tweet a Bible verse, or to engage in public discourse with a Christian perspective. The attempts made to prosecute me for expressing my beliefs have resulted in an immensely trying four years, but my hope is that the result will stand as a key precedent to protect the human right to free speech. I sincerely hope other innocent people will be spared the same ordeal for simply voicing their convictions,” Räsänen added. 
While Räsänen was unanimously acquitted by the District Court of Helsinki for the same charges back in March 2022, state prosecutors sought to appeal the lower court’s ruling earlier this year. 
The appeals court said that it had “no reason, on the basis of the evidence received at the main hearing, to assess the case in any respect differently from the District Court. There is therefore no reason to alter the final result of the District Court’s judgment.”

During the case, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/finnish-politician-back-in-court-for-criminal-interpretation-of-bible-verses" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prosecutors argued</a> that they “can limit freedom of expression in the outward expression of religion.” They also said that the 2019 tweet was criminal because of Räsänen’s interpretation of the verse. “You can cite the Bible, but it is Räsänen’s interpretation and opinion about the Bible verses that are criminal,” one prosecutor said.  
Paul Coleman, the executive director of ADF International, celebrated the ruling but added that hate speech laws were dangerous for societies. 
“While we celebrate this monumental victory, we also remember that it comes after four years of police investigations, criminal indictments, prosecutions, and court hearings. We applaud the Helsinki Court of Appeal’s ruling in this case, and we work towards the bigger victory when such ludicrous cases are no longer brought,” he said.

TV personality <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">Wayne Brady</a> has announced that he is “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lgbtq">pansexual</a>.”
The host of the popular game show “Let’s Make a Deal” discussed his sexuality during a recent interview with <a href="https://people.com/wayne-brady-comes-out-as-pansexual-exclusive-7569897">People</a>. 
“In doing my research, both with myself and just with the world, I couldn’t say if I was bisexual, because I had to really see what that was, especially because I really have not gotten a chance to act on anything,” the 51-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">actor</a> and comedian told the outlet. 
“So I came to pansexual because — and I know that I’m completely messing up the dictionary meaning — but to me, pan means being able to be attracted to anyone who identifies as gay, straight, bi, transsexual or non-binary.”
“I took pan to mean that not only can I be attracted to any of these people or types physically, but I could be attracted to the person that is there,” he added.
GLAAD, an LGBTQ advocacy nonprofit, defines pansexual as “a person who has the capacity to form enduring physical, romantic, and/ or emotional attractions to any person, regardless of gender identity.”

Brady was previously married to Diana Lasso from 1993 to 1995. He was married to ex-wife Mandie Taketa from 1999 until 2008 and shares a 20-year-old daughter, Maile Brady, with her.  
The women described their reactions to Brady&#8217;s revelation.
“I just said, ‘Great.’ As I knew coming out would help him be happier,&#8221; Taketa said. His daughter Maile said, “I just said, ‘Okay.’&#8221;
Brady also discussed feeling attraction to men in the past but not wanting to admit it. “Let&#8217;s be really honest: I&#8217;ve also been attracted to certain men in my life, but I&#8217;ve always pushed that aside because of how I was raised, and because I live in today&#8217;s world, and it&#8217;s scary as sh**,” he said.
“What&#8217;s the fastest way to hurt another man? I&#8217;m gonna call you out of your name. I&#8217;m gonna call you gay. I&#8217;m gonna emasculate you. I&#8217;m gonna use the F-word. I learned that very early from the people around me, they&#8217;re like, &#8220;Oh, so those are bad things? Yeah. You, you don&#8217;t wanna be that.&#8221;
Brady said in the interview that he had previously been &#8220;treated for love addiction.”

The differences between men and women are as multifaceted as they are obvious. 
For decades intellectuals and those on the political Left have argued that there are no meaningful distinctions between men and women beyond the physical &#8211; and even the physical differences are denied by gender ideology, which has produced such bizarre linguistic contortions as “birthing person” or “person with a penis” and reduced the categories of “woman” and “man” into arbitrary, subjective sludge.
At the same time, an increasing body of <a href="https://stanmed.stanford.edu/how-mens-and-womens-brains-are-different/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scientific research</a> supports what sensible people have known since time immemorial – men and women are complementary opposites with different ways of thinking, doing, and being.
“Of course, men and women have a tremendous amount in common,” Dennis Prager, founder of PragerU, clarified. Research indicates that men and women have the same average intelligence, for example, and members of both sexes are still moral agents with the capacity to do good or evil, although the set of temptations each sex will face differs.
But similarly robust data indicates that men and women differ drastically in median <a href="https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20161011-do-men-and-women-really-have-different-personalities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">temperament</a>, <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19883140/#:~:text=Men%20showed%20stronger%20Realistic%20(d,d%20%3D%20%2D0.33)%20interests." target="_blank" rel="noopener">interests</a>, <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/26913183?seq=5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">political persuasion</a>, attitudes towards <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/the-parenting-gender-gap_b_11430888">child rearing</a>, <a href="https://psychcentral.com/blog/relationship-corner/2018/01/female-vs-male-friendships-10-key-differences#3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">relationships</a>, and <a href="https://scitechdaily.com/what-factors-matter-in-sexual-attraction-for-men-and-women-of-different-ages/#:~:text=And%20while%20both%20sexes%20prefer,can%27t%20risk%20choosing%20poorly.">sexuality</a>, and even susceptibility to different kinds of <a href="https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2011/08/mental-illness" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mental illness</a>.
Unlike the ironclad differences in body structure and genitalia, the temperamental differences between the sexes do exist on a spectrum &#8211; while some personality traits may be more common in women or more common in men, there will be some men who are more feminine, and some women who are more masculine. But the fact that there are exceptions to the rule does not disprove the general pattern: while there is considerable overlap between the sexes along dimensions, along others the typical differences are so great that exceptions are few and far between.
“We have to make generalizations but they have to be intelligent generalizations,” Prager says. “And you always have to offer examples to make your point about the generalization.”
One article Prager <a href="https://psychcentral.com/blog/relationship-corner/2018/01/female-vs-male-friendships-10-key-differences#3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cites</a> notes that women are more likely to suffer from mood disorders such as anxiety or depression, while men are more likely to have autism or ADHD. That roughly tracks with personality research, which suggests that women are more sensitive to negative emotion than men, while men are on average <a href="https://psychcentral.com/blog/relationship-corner/2018/01/female-vs-male-friendships-10-key-differences#3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more impulsive</a> and less sensitive to social cues than women. While there is no shortage of depressed men or autistic women, women are <a href="https://psychcentral.com/blog/relationship-corner/2018/01/female-vs-male-friendships-10-key-differences#3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">twice as likely</a> to be diagnosed with depression and men are more than<a href="https://psychcentral.com/blog/relationship-corner/2018/01/female-vs-male-friendships-10-key-differences#3" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 4 times</a> as likely to be autistic.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/coming-soon-episode-8-differences-between-men-and-women" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Episode 8: Differences Between Men And Women</a></h4>
Another point Prager notes is that male and female infants play differently and have sex-based preferences in activities and toys. These differences have been validated cross-culturally and across species – infant <a href="https://psychcentral.com/blog/relationship-corner/2018/01/female-vs-male-friendships-10-key-differences#3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">monkeys</a> prefer either wheeled toys or plush, doll-like toys depending on whether or not they’re male or female. As a whole, males are consistently more interested in motion and action while females are more interested in faces and people.
Prager also recounts an anecdote where lifelong liberal Larry Summers — former Clinton Treasury Secretary and president of Harvard University — <a href="https://psychcentral.com/blog/relationship-corner/2018/01/female-vs-male-friendships-10-key-differences#3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bought</a> his young daughter toy trucks in an attempt to be “gender neutral “ as a parent, only for her to immediately treat the toys like dolls, dubbing the larger one “daddy truck” and the smaller one “baby truck.”
Men are also much more physically aggressive than women and more likely to resort to violence. They tend to be more competitive and less likely to take disputes personally — Prager notes that male athletes have been found to be more likely to shake hands, pat each other on the back or otherwise physically reconcile after a high-level competition than female athletes are.
Men also tend to be more rough-and-tumble in their friendships. “When men really like each other, they insult each other,” Prager notes. By contrast, female friendships tend to be built on emotional support and intimacy — what a man might think of as playful teasing would in that context be a devastating slight.
Women, by contrast, tend to be more innately nurturing. They largely avoid physical confrontation and are highly concerned with the health of relationships and the needs of infants and other vulnerable members of the group.
“Women are optimized for taking care of a child,” Prager says, noting that this observation should be uncontroversial whether you believe they evolved to be this way or were created for that purpose. The fact of the difference and the obviousness of its importance is incontrovertible — human beings could not exist if someone wasn’t focused on caring for the next generation.
Prager also notes that this difference extends beyond the immediate household and applies to views of society at large.
“Women overwhelmingly are more likely to vote for the parties that want to nurture those in society who are, for example, poorer. They vote for the nurturing party,” Prager said. 
Perhaps most frustratingly, men and women have different approaches to sex and romance, and often radically misunderstand one another.
“Women are aroused by their minds, men are aroused by their eyes,” Prager argues.
Men are predominantly aroused by visual cues of attraction: facial symmetry, waist-hip ratios, and other cues for fertility and health. They also have a greater interest in casual sex and are allured by the prospect of sexual variety — they are overwhelmingly more likely to consume pornography, patronize prostitutes, or pursue casual hookups.
“It&#8217;s not an excuse,” Prager says, arguing that those tendencies can be extremely destructive and have to be reined in, “but the fact that reality poses a problem is not a reason for a mature person to dismiss the reality.”
By contrast, while women are attracted to good-looking men, looks alone are rarely enough to keep their attention for long. Prager provides a list of other factors women consider when assessing a man that are at least as important as his looks, if not more so, including (but not limited to): “Voice, height, brains, personality, money, success, fame, power, charm, sense of humor, confidence.”
Put more <a href="https://psychcentral.com/blog/relationship-corner/2018/01/female-vs-male-friendships-10-key-differences#3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scientifically</a>: “While both sexes prefer a physically attractive mate or potential partner, males have been shown to report stronger such preferences for attractiveness … Females are more selective about other characteristics because their time for reproduction is more limited so they can’t risk choosing poorly.”
Prager also noted that the feminist push for “empowered” women to adopt male sexual norms and pursue casual sex was actively making women <a href="https://psychcentral.com/blog/relationship-corner/2018/01/female-vs-male-friendships-10-key-differences#3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">miserable</a>. Denying the various differences causes both sexes to dismiss or disregard those differences, hurting themselves and each other.
“The better men and women understand each other, the more they&#8217;ll accept each other&#8217;s differences,” Prager says, “and that can serve as a very big help in their relationship.”

June 1 marked the advent of Pride Month – the most important sacrament of the American secular religious calendar. During Pride Month, public schools across the nation teach small children the joys of alternative sexual practices and orientations; corporations plaster their stores in rainbow accoutrements of all sorts; and the federal government of the United States proclaims its fidelity to the LGBTQ+*&amp;^% ideology.
The American public, for the most part, has historically taken Pride Month not for what it is but for what it sometimes purports to be: a call for tolerance of the marginalized. But that, of course, is not what Pride Month is or ever was. Pride Month is not a call for equality, but a call for revolution. The Pride movement was always a call for a replacement of historic, tried and true cultural norms with new, untried and risky cultural norms.
Heteronormativity is one such tried and true norm: the correct belief that any durable society rests on the basis of male-female dyads producing children. Such a norm ought to be promoted. But Pride suggests the opposite: that heteronormativity is an authoritarian and discriminatory standard that places artificial limits on the full flowering of human sexuality. Explode the norm, and maximize human happiness!
This, of course, was precisely the case made by the original exponents of the sexual revolution. Herbert Marcuse, author of Eros and Civilization (1955) called for a rewriting of all sexual norms in order to tear down the capitalist structure. He sought “a non-repressive civilization, based on a fundamentally different experience of being, a fundamentally different relation between man and nature, and fundamentally different existential relations.” Such a civilization could only be birthed by treating “the body in its entirety [as] an object of cathexis, a thing to be enjoyed — an instrument of pleasure.” Sex would be unmoored from marriage and parenthood; Marcuse argued, “the barriers against absolute gratification would become elements of human freedom…This sensuous rationality contains its own moral laws.”
By 1970, feminist Shulamith Firestone argued that sexual revolution would bring about “not just the elimination of male privilege but of the sex distinction itself: genital differences between human beings would no longer matter culturally.” Happiness would now be found in a “reversion to an unobstructed pansexuality — Freud&#8217;s &#8216;polymorphous perversity&#8217; — would probably supersede hetero/homo/bi-sexuality.”
We have now reached the dystopia sought by Marcuse and Firestone: a world in which all the elites in our society participate in the rewriting of durable societal norms in favor of unending sexual gratification. In order to maintain that dystopia, however, our societal elites require one more element: repression of the traditional norms. A fair fight might leave traditional Judeo-Christian norms in place; they’ve proven rather durable over time. Marcuse had a solution for just such a problem: repression. Promotion of the new morality would require quashing the old. “[L]iberation of the Damned of the Earth presupposes suppression not only of their old but also of their new masters,” Marcuse wrote.
And so the culture war rages. Because, after all, old norms don’t die easily. They must be killed in order to achieve “Pride” in the alternative. And that revolution requires the exercise of cultural, governmental, and corporate power from sea to shining sea.

An <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/oregon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oregon</a> high school has parents livid after it was discovered that a health teacher assigned homework asking students to write sexual fantasy stories and mark the initials of a man or woman next to the sexual activities they would perform.
First reported by local television news station <a href="https://www.kezi.com/news/suggestive-high-school-assignment-has-parents-calling-for-change/article_b859ec0a-beda-11ed-b635-4ffc315760f3.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KEZI</a> in the city of Eugene, a parent exposed the assignment via a screenshot on Facebook, which asked students at Churchill High School to &#8220;write a short story of a paragraph or two […about] a sexual fantasy that will have NO penetration of any kind or oral sex (no way of passing an STI).&#8221;
According to <a href="https://www.oregonlive.com/education/2023/03/eugene-parents-decry-high-school-sexual-fantasy-health-assignment.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Oregonian</a>, Kirk Miller, health teacher and football coach, gave the assignment to students taking Churchill&#8217;s Health 2 &#8211; Human Sexuality course, which directs the class to show that minors could &#8220;receive loving affection without having sex&#8221; while choosing three items for the story.
Such items could include &#8220;romantic music, candles, massage oil, feather, feather boa, flavored syrup, etc.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Students at Churchill High School in Eugene, OR, were required to describe, in detailed writing, a sexual fantasy and turn it into the teacher. The assignment is part of a statewide curriculum called “Our Whole Lives.” I think there’s a word for this…? <a href="https://t.co/CZ4DZItOHG">https://t.co/CZ4DZItOHG</a> <a href="https://t.co/BSdsRCcJE8">pic.twitter.com/BSdsRCcJE8</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Hundreds of comments flooded the post within an hour of the screenshot being made public on social media.
&#8220;This is so inappropriate,&#8221; one post read. &#8220;Does he still have a job?&#8221;
Another parent expressed outrage over the idea of an adult male teacher asking their daughter to share sexual fantasies with him.
&#8220;I would be livid and be going to the police,&#8221; the comment said. &#8220;No teacher has any business asking this of a child.&#8221;
Katherine Rogers, whose 16-year-old daughter attends the high school but was not in the class, told The Oregonian that Miller previously gave the students another assignment that encouraged bisexuality, called &#8220;With Whom Would You Do It?&#8221;
The classwork required students to initial males and females that the student &#8220;would do each activity with,&#8221; which were sexual in nature, such as kissing and oral sex.
&#8220;You may use the same person for multiple activities,&#8221; the assignment added.
Rogers said students in the class felt &#8220;mortified, awkward, and creeped out&#8221; by the assignments.
Out of feeling uncomfortable with the assignment, Rogers said some students used &#8220;Kung Fu Panda&#8221; characters in their response to avoid being too personal.
&#8220;So while we are teaching our daughter to abstain from sex, her high school health teacher is asking her to pick out sexual partners and swing both ways,&#8221; one mother told The Epoch Times.
Churchill High School Principal Missy Cole said in an email sent to parents last week that school officials and Eugene school district officials were reviewing its high school health curriculum, which is called Our Whole Lives, developed by the Unitarian Universalist Association and the United Church of Christ.
&#8220;At this time, the assignment has been removed from the class syllabus and will not be a part of students&#8217; grades,&#8221; Cole wrote, according to The Epoch Times. &#8220;The Our Whole Lives curriculum is utilized by many districts across the state and is endorsed by the Oregon Department of Education.&#8221;
Peter Rudy, a spokesperson for the Oregon Department of Education, told The Oregonian last week that the state&#8217;s list of recommended instructional material for high school health courses does not include the curriculum in question.
Rudy told the outlet that Oregon school districts could choose curriculums not listed with the state-recommended materials and do not have to notify the Oregon Department of Education. State officials, he said, are not required to track what curriculum districts choose.

Mackensey Pulliam of Oregon Moms Union told The Epoch Times in an email that such learning material does not belong in schools.
&#8220;The Oregon education system is failing our kids with less than 45 percent reading at grade level and less than 32 percent able to do math at grade level,&#8221; Pulliam said. &#8220;We need to be focusing on academics and catching our kids up on years of pandemic-related learning loss. The purpose of our schools is to set students up for success as they enter the workforce or higher education, not to teach them about sexual fantasies.&#8221;

A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/planned-parenthood" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Planned Parenthood</a> executive has sparked backlash for saying that children are &#8220;sexual&#8221; from birth and calling for porn literacy lessons for older children.
Bill Taverner, executive director of the New Jersey-based Center for Sex Education, Planned Parenthood&#8217;s sex education arm, made the newly unearthed comments in a 2015 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfFH7bVqVQE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a>, Fox News first <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/planned-parenthood-sexuality-educator-claims-kids-sexual-birth-porn-literacy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
&#8220;I think that we unfortunately have in our society, an assumption of asexuality of people with intellectual disabilities,&#8221; Taverner told the interviewer, sexuality consultant Leslie Walker-Hirsch.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a myth that&#8217;s perpetuated, and really we are all sexual beings from birth until death,&#8221; Taverner said.
Planned Parenthood itself <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/planned-parenthood-sexuality-educator-claims-kids-sexual-birth-porn-literacy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">echoed</a> this sentiment in a guide called the &#8220;Fundamentals of Teaching Sexuality,&#8221; stating that, &#8220;sexuality is a part of life through all the ages and stages. Babies, elders, and everyone in between can experience sexuality.&#8221;
In a 2012 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37WNlsk5tQA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a>, Taverner appeared to imply that some pornography exposure could be &#8220;useful&#8221; for older children.
&#8220;I think that there&#8217;s this yearning for information that young people have that &#8230; hasn&#8217;t changed,&#8221; Taverner said in the interview, which was hosted by a local New Jersey chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW).
&#8220;I think that the internet is a major influence on how people learn about sexuality,&#8221; Taverner said. &#8220;There&#8217;s access to erotica, pornography. That was very different for young people 30 years ago, certainly not as accessible, certainly not as instantaneous. So there&#8217;s a lot of information that is useful, there&#8217;s websites that are —&#8221;
&#8220;Some of it is wrong,&#8221; interrupted the interviewer, NOW&#8217;s Rebecca Lubetkin.
&#8220;Some of it is wrong, a lot of it is wrong, but there&#8217;s good stuff out there as well,&#8221; Taverner responded.
Taverner added that &#8220;sexting&#8221; is another issue schools need to discuss with students during sex education.
The Planned Parenthood executive made similar remarks last year, saying that while those in public health and sexology never wanted porn to be the &#8220;de facto educator,&#8221; we need to &#8220;shift our education.&#8221;
Taverner said in a 2021 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnbpFlwlKXQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> that there is a &#8220;resistance&#8221; to discussing pornography with students because some people think it will encourage them to watch it, which Taverner called &#8220;the same faulty kind of premise as if we teach about condoms is it going to make people want to have sex with condoms. Maybe that&#8217;s not a bad thing.&#8221;
&#8220;Getting back to meeting people where they are, if this is what they&#8217;re doing with their cell phones and their tablets and their laptops, then we need to shift our education and stop doing the banana on a condom and think that, you know, we&#8217;ve done our thing,&#8221; he said.
Taverner said sex educators need to guide young people in thinking about their values, for example, the ethics of pornography.
&#8220;That&#8217;s not to say that there&#8217;s a right answer,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We need to have conversations about what&#8217;s missing in porn that may be different in a real relationship, and that&#8217;s not to castigate porn.&#8221;
Sex education can start as early as kindergarten, Taverner said in the 2012 interview. In kindergarten, sex education may involve talking about &#8220;what makes a family&#8221; or &#8220;the basics of germs.&#8221;
&#8220;All of that sets the foundation for a basic understanding that is useful for further conversations when we&#8217;re talking about condoms or when we&#8217;re talking about pregnancy prevention,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;Age-appropriate sex education is so important,&#8221; Taverner said. &#8220;We need to let our experts guide us.&#8221;
Monica Cline, a former Planned Parenthood sex educator, said Planned Parenthood clearly has a &#8220;distorted view of sexuality and children.&#8221;
&#8220;The pornification of our children by Planned Parenthood pays homage to the &#8216;Father&#8217; of sex education, Alfred Kinsey, who claimed children are sexual from birth after sexually abusing infants and children for his research,&#8221; Cline said in a statement. &#8220;The sex-ed industry, funded in large part by our government, has adopted this depraved belief, pushing this twisted thinking onto vulnerable populations since the 1970s.&#8221;
Cline called for the government to cut funding for Planned Parenthood and for parents to &#8220;wake up and get them out of the schools in their own communities.&#8221;
Taverner has worked in the sex education field since at least 1995, according to his LinkedIn page. In 2014, he <a href="https://www.plannedparenthood.org/about-us/newsroom/press-releases/planned-parenthood-holds-capitol-hill-briefing-real-sex-ed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advocated</a> for sex education at a congressional briefing on Capitol Hill.
Last year, he expressed his view that society has a &#8220;puritanical, anti-sex, eroti-phobic kind of orientation&#8221; around the topic of sex.
&#8220;We need to recognize that a lot of folks are driven by fear,&#8221; Taverner said in the same 2021 interview.

Meghan Markle said she doesn&#8217;t understand why women are &#8220;vilified&#8221; for exploring their sexuality while she said it appeared that men are instead &#8220;celebrated&#8221; for doing the same.
During <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/meghan-markle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Markle&#8217;s</a> Spotify <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/7vnRLX6s14LXiEYqoJxwqL?si=rz0QeW_ASR2ZMxIcbjAv-A" target="_blank" rel="noopener">podcast</a> &#8220;Archetypes&#8221; on Tuesday, the former &#8220;Suits&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/meghan-markles-podcast-blasted-as-preposterous-self-aggrandising-and-so-much-more">actress</a> talked about what she called the double standard when it comes to men and women &#8220;exploring&#8221; their &#8220;sensuality&#8221; while speaking with guest — and &#8220;Sex and the City&#8221; author — TV producer Candace Bushnell and trans activist Michaela Jaé Rodriguez.
&#8220;One of the things that I think as all women, we face, as you&#8217;re getting older, you&#8217;re exploring and starting to understand your sensuality, your feminine divine,&#8221; the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/stop-the-nonsense-megyn-kelly-takes-apart-princess-of-privacy-meghan-markle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Duchess of Sussex</a> shared. &#8220;Your sexuality, oftentimes, it can be very much used against you.&#8221;

&#8220;A man, if he is a player, out having fun or whatever he&#8217;s doing, it&#8217;s often celebrated, even heralded,&#8221; she added. &#8220;But for a woman, I don&#8217;t care if she is perhaps the most successful woman in finance in her mid-50s, I promise you, someone will still go, &#8216;But she was such a slut in college.&#8217; It will stick with her.&#8221;
&#8220;And I don&#8217;t understand what it is about the stigma surrounding women and their sexuality, the exploration of their sexuality that is so much more vilified than for a man&#8230;,&#8221;Markle continued.
On one of the duchess&#8217; podcast recently she claimed to have been &#8220;objectified&#8221; during her job as a &#8220;suitcase girl&#8221; on the game show &#8220;Deal or No Deal,&#8221; as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/all-looks-and-little-substance-meghan-markle-said-she-was-objectified-on-deal-or-no-deal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported.
&#8220;And by the way, I was surrounded by smart women on that stage with me, but that wasn&#8217;t the focus of why we were there,&#8221; Markle explained. &#8220;And I would end up leaving with this pit in my stomach knowing that I was so much more than what was being objectified on the stage.&#8221;
&#8220;I didn&#8217;t like feeling forced to be all looks and little substance, and that&#8217;s how it felt for me at the time—being reduced to this specific archetype,&#8221; she added.
Markle and her husband Prince Harry&#8217;s upcoming Netflix docuseries will reportedly come out on December 8, the <a href="https://pagesix.com/2022/11/21/prince-harry-meghan-markle-netflix-show-release-date-revealed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">outlet</a> reported. The Duchess and Duke of Sussex reportedly were &#8220;having second thoughts&#8221; on the project previously following the late Queen Elizabeth II&#8217;s death, a source shared with Page Six.
Meghan and Harry tied the knot in 2018. In March of 2020, the duke and duchess stepped down from their royal roles, and eventually ended up leaving the United Kingdom, moving to Southern California where they now raise their two children.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/sports-illustrated" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sports Illustrated</a> Swimsuit model Emily Ratajkowski said she doesn&#8217;t &#8220;really believe in straight people&#8221; after recently filing for divorce from husband film producer Sebastian Bear-McClard.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/emily-ratajkowski" target="_blank" rel="noopener">31-year-0ld</a> model made the comments during a wide-ranging interview for <a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a41616069/emily-ratajkowski-podcast-interview-november-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harper&#8217;s Bazaar</a> when she was asked about a recent TikTok in which it appeared she was identifying as bisexual.
&#8220;I think sexuality is on a sliding scale,&#8221; Ratajkowski shared. &#8220;I don&#8217;t really believe in straight people.&#8221;

&#8220;My girlfriend came over and was like, &#8216;B****, have you seen the green-couch thing?’” she added. &#8220;She was laughing at me because my green couch is so big.&#8221;
&#8220;I want to be able to have fun with how I present myself in the world without feeling like I&#8217;m a bad feminist or a good feminist,&#8221; Ratajkowski continued. &#8220;Duh. I don&#8217;t want to be a part of your club if you don&#8217;t want to have me. It&#8217;s fine!&#8221;

In September, the activist model filed for divorce from Bear-McClard after four years of marriage. The two share a one-year-old son, as Page Six noted.
At one point in the Harper&#8217;s Bazaar article, Ratajkowski admitted she feels anger over the divorce after Bear-McClard reportedly cheated on her.
&#8220;I can tell you that I have never been single before,&#8221; the model shared. &#8220;I feel all the emotions. I feel anger, sadness. I feel excitement. I feel joy. I feel levity. Every day is different. The only good thing I know is that I&#8217;m feeling all those things, which is nice because it makes me believe that I&#8217;ll be okay.&#8221;
Even though Ratajkowski didn&#8217;t want to talk about her divorce, she did confirm reports that she&#8217;s dating again.
&#8220;I have gone on dates,&#8221; the swimsuit model explained, noting she&#8217;s steering clear of dating apps for now. &#8220;But give me time.&#8221;

Entertainment website TMZ reported that Madonna <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/10/23/cardi-b-goes-nuclear-on-madonna-pave-the-way-clown-emoji/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sparked the exchange</a> when she shared a post via her Instagram Stories, celebrating the 30-year anniversary of her book &#8220;S.E.X.&#8221;

&#8220;30 years ago I published a book called S.E.X. in addition to photos of me naked there were photos of Men kissing Men, Woman kissing Woman and Me kissing everyone. I also wrote about my sexual fantasies and shared my point of view about sexuality in an ironic way,&#8221; the &#8220;Material Girl&#8221; singer wrote.
&#8220;I spent the next few years being interviewed by narrow-minded people who tried to shame me for empowering myself as a Woman,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;I was called a whore, a witch a heretic and the devil.&#8221;
She then suggested that it was because of her work in breaking the ground that artists like Cardi B. — whom she mentioned by name — could push things even further in their music and on the stage.
&#8220;Now Cardi B can sing about her WAP. Kim Kardashian can grace the cover of any magazine with her naked ass and Miley Cyrus can come in like a wrecking ball,&#8221; she concluded, adding a few clown emojis and saying, &#8220;You&#8217;re welcome b****es.&#8221;
Cardi B. responded in a couple of tweets — which she later deleted — suggesting that she didn&#8217;t necessarily have an issue with Madonna saying that she had paved the way for female artists, but she wasn&#8217;t impressed with the way in which it had been done.
&#8220;I literally payed this woman homage so many times cause I grew up listening to her,&#8221; the rapper tweeted, according to TMZ&#8217;s report. &#8220;She can make her point without putting clown emojis and getting slick out the mouth &#8230; These icons really become disappointments once u make it in the industry that&#8217;s why I keep to myself.&#8221;
The artist said she spoke to Madonna after she tweeted her initial response — and said that all was well, adding, &#8220;I talked to Madonna &#8230; It was beautiful &#8230; Have a great day and drive safely y&#8217;all.&#8221;

House Republicans have introduced a bill that would ensure <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/taxes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">taxpayer</a> money doesn’t go towards sexually-oriented projects directed at young kids.
The Stop the Sexualization of Children Act states that it would “prohibit the use of Federal funds to develop, implement, facilitate, or fund any sexually-oriented program, event, or literature for children under the age of 10, and for other purposes.”
The legislation is <a href="https://bossierpress.com/house-republicans-introduce-legislation-to-ensure-taxpayer-dollars-cannot-fund-sexually-explicit-material-for-children/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">backed</a> by 33 GOP House Members and was <a href="https://cc.org/house-republicans-introduce-legislation-to-ensure-taxpayer-dollars-cannot-fund-sexually-explicit-material-for-children/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">introduced</a> by House Republican Conference Vice Chairman Mike Johnson of Louisiana.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“The Democrat Party and their cultural allies are on a misguided crusade to immerse young children in sexual imagery and radical gender ideology,” Representative Johnson <a href="https://cc.org/house-republicans-introduce-legislation-to-ensure-taxpayer-dollars-cannot-fund-sexually-explicit-material-for-children/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “This commonsense bill is straightforward. No federal tax dollars should go to any federal, state, or local government agencies, or private organizations that intentionally expose children under 10 years of age to sexually explicit material.”
Federal funds would not be able to go toward events that involve “sexually-oriented material,” as well as “any program, event, or literature that exposes children under the age of 10 to nude adults, individuals who are stripping, or lewd or lascivious dancing.”
The bill points to the fact that private and government groups have used federal grant money “to host and promote sexually-oriented events like drag queen story hours and burlesque shows.&#8221;
The bill allows parents or guardians to “bring a civil action for injunctive relief … against a government official, government agency, or private entity” if his or her child was under the age of ten and “exposed to sexually-oriented material funded in part or in whole by Federal funds.”
It also prevents federal funds from being given to any group for three years if the group has two or more penalties for violating the bill in a time span of five years.
The measure defines “sexually-oriented material” as “any depiction, description, or simulation of sexual activity, any lewd or lascivious depiction or description of human genitals, or any topic involving gender identity, gender dysphoria, transgenderism, sexual orientation, or related subjects.”
It also provides a definition for “stripping,” stating that it would apply to “any act which involves the removal or simulated removal of clothing in a sexual manner for the entertainment of one or more individuals.”
The measure points out that specific school districts that get federal grant money have put in place sexual education for kids under 10 years old, and a lot of recently issued sexual education courses “encourage discussions of sexuality, sexual orientation, transgenderism, and gender ideology as early as kindergarten.”

The Children&#8217;s Hospital of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chicago">Chicago</a> is working hand-in-glove with Chicago schools to push radical gender theory and gender transition on students.
Documents obtained by writer and activist <a href="https://christopherrufo.com/unholy-alliance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christopher Rufo</a> show that the Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children&#8217;s Hospital of Chicago is collaborating with schools to push radical gender theory, providing school administrators with training documents, policy guides, and resources for students. These resources have been provided to middle and high schools in at least four of Chicago&#8217;s public school systems, Rufo reported.
&#8220;Beyond the lurid nature of some of the content, these documents reveal a profoundly disturbing collusion between radical gender activists in the medical system and the public school bureaucracy,&#8221; Rufo wrote. &#8220;They have laundered the promotion of queer theory, synthetic sexual identities, and child sex toys under the guise of &#8216;health and education,&#8217; devoting significant resources toward building &#8230; a school-to-clinic pipeline.&#8221;
The primary document is a training presentation entitled &#8220;Beyond Binary: Gender In Schools,&#8221; which took several forms in different school systems. One such training contained in Rufo&#8217;s report is conducted by Hadeis Safi (they/them), an &#8220;LGBTQ and Gender Inclusion <a href="https://www.luriechildrens.org/en/specialties-conditions/adolescent-medicine/trainings-education/meet-our-trainers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">training facilitator</a>&#8221; with the hospital&#8217;s Potocsnak Family Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine. The presentation includes a section instructing educators to support transgender and &#8220;gender expansive&#8221; students.
<a href="https://www.catherinecookschool.org/uploaded/2015-2016_School_Year/Newsletter_files/Gender_Identity_Presentation.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Other versions</a> of the presentation describe the phenomenon of &#8220;gender nonconforming,&#8221; &#8220;gender variant,&#8221; and &#8220;gender creative&#8221; individuals as a &#8220;normative variation of human diversity.&#8221; The presentation instructs schools in methods of &#8220;institutional inclusion&#8221;: so-called &#8220;gender support plans&#8221; for transitioning students that include discussions of confidentiality and parent involvement; avoiding gender segregation; allowing for an inclusive dress code; and supporting a school &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/left-wing-org-combines-k-12-radical-gender-theory-with-anti-cop-anti-capitalist-rhetoric" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Genders and Sexualities Alliance</a>&#8221; club. It instructs schools to &#8220;[e]xplicitly include gender identity in nondiscriminatory policies, diversity statements, and anti-bullying policies — and have explicit bathroom/locker room policies inclusive of all genders,&#8221; and to use inclusive school forms and identification materials. It also instructs schools to include LGBT issues in school curricula.
The presentation then provides a list of resources for teachers to share with students. One such resource is a breast binder exchange program from the DC Area Transmasculine Society; another free breast binder program is also available. Another resource links to a &#8220;<a href="https://twitter.com/realchrisrufo/status/1565088266390749185?s=20&amp;t=L1y0qdEXdezf25uisasd3g" target="_blank" rel="noopener">kid friendly website for gender affirming gear</a>,&#8221; which include: artificial penis &#8220;packers&#8221; to wear underneath clothing; phallic-shaped &#8220;stand-to-pee devices&#8221;; chest binders, and &#8220;trans masc pumps.&#8221;
Another resource links to an &#8220;LGBTQ friendly sex shop for teens&#8221; that includes dildos, vibrators, sex toys, bondage and gender gear. The website also includes graphic depictions of pornography, BDSM, and so-called &#8220;kink&#8221; sex. The resource list also includes a number of sex education resources targeted at teenagers.
Rufo&#8217;s latest trove of documents come as several major children&#8217;s hospitals have promoted life-altering &#8220;gender affirming&#8221; surgeries, such as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/audio-d-c-hospital-confirms-it-performs-trans-hysterectomies-on-girls-under-16-years-old" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hysterectomies</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lgbtqia-advocate-pediatrician-admits-children-can-medically-transition-at-10-years-old-minor-females-can-have-breasts-removed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mastectomies</a>, on minors as young as 13.
The Daily Wire reported Wednesday that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/there-is-no-youngest-age-at-all-california-doctor-admits-to-performing-affirming-surgeries-on-transgender-children-as-young-as-13" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Robert Mosser</a>, the founder of the Gender Confirmation Center in San Francisco, said that he does not have an age limit for &#8220;gender-affirming&#8221; surgeries in his clinical practice, and admitted that he has performed surgeries on children as young as 13.

James Lindsay — author and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/young-americas-foundation">Young America&#8217;s Foundation</a> speaker — was permanently suspended from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/twitter">Twitter</a> on Friday after tweeting, &#8220;Ok, childhood sexualization specialist&#8221; to a Harvard Law instructor who supports teaching <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender">radical gender theory</a>.
Lindsay had previously been temporarily suspended in June by Twitter for tweeting, &#8220;Ok, groomer.&#8221; On Friday, he exchanged the term &#8220;groomer&#8221; with the phrase &#8220;childhood sexualization specialist&#8221; in response to a tweet from Alejandra Caraballo. Caraballo is a former staff attorney at the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund and at the LGBTQ Law Project at New York Legal Assistance Group. Caraballo said to Lindsay, &#8220;Your misogynoir is showing,&#8221; which earned his rebuttal, <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-james-lindsay-permanently-banned-from-twitter">according</a> to The Post Millennial.
New Discourses, a commentary website founded by Lindsay, then <a href="https://twitter.com/NewDiscourses/status/1555572440008368129?s=20&amp;t=vu58mtyAqDJMsblLZ01EUw">announced</a> that he had been permanently suspended from the social media site. Caraballo then took credit for his suspension, revealing a screenshot that showed the instructor had spammed Twitter multiple times reporting Lindsay to the site.
&#8220;Good riddance,&#8221; Caraballo tweeted, before adding, &#8220;Tell James, I want him to know it was me.&#8221; Caraballo&#8217;s Twitter avatar shows the individual wearing a &#8220;Protect Trans Kids&#8221; t-shirt.

The &#8220;Cynical Theories&#8221; author has previously explained that the term &#8220;groomer&#8221; is used to describe members of the left who discuss sexual topics with children and condone hiding certain topics from their parents.
Speaking with The Daily Signal, Lindsay <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2022/08/02/cultural-critic-james-lindsay-explains-rise-of-groomers/">explained</a> that he is staunchly opposed to progressive radical gender theory pushed onto children by adult activists.
“They are bringing up sexual topics with children, normalizing discussions of sex with children, telling children to hide it from their parents,&#8221; Lindsay alleged. &#8220;These are all behaviors that if it was predatory pedophiles, we would immediately apply the word ‘groomer,’ but they’re doing it for cult purposes, using the same subjects.&#8221;
Lindsay explained that his use of groomer or grooming refers mostly to cult-like behavior.
&#8220;The thing people think I’m accusing them of is predatory pedophilic grooming, the idea that adults are going to seduce children into sexual relationships,” Lindsay added.
“And that definition of ‘grooming’ has a lot of currency, and a lot of people recognize it,&#8221; he <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2022/08/02/cultural-critic-james-lindsay-explains-rise-of-groomers/">argued</a>. “[But], as it turns out, we’ve all collectively forgotten that cult grooming was something that we all talked about, up until this controversy [about LGBT activism] erupted.”
The mathematician also told The Daily Signal that the Left&#8217;s desire to censor the word groomer has only increased its prominence.
&#8220;I don’t know what’ll happen in the long run, but in the short run, it’s backfiring,&#8221; Lindsay told the site after his July suspension. &#8220;I got banned off Twitter, locked out for 12 hours last week for ‘OK groomer’ and subsequently ‘groomer’ trended on Twitter to like 40,000 tweets or some number thereabout. It made it more visible that something inappropriate is going on here, to which the label ‘groomer’ applies in one way or another. And they’re trying to hide it and protect it and cover it up.&#8221;
