With the first female umpire now working in baseball, it’s time to take a look at how women have made historic strides in the world of professional sports by ruining everything.
You see, in the past, professional sports provided a safe method for wives to get their husbands out of the damned way by placing them in front of the television where they could watch something completely meaningless that wasn’t porn. That way, the wives could get their work done, and if they occasionally dropped in on the TV room with a sandwich and a beer, their husbands would happily devote the rest of their lives to their support and happiness. Later, over dinner, the husbands could describe every play of the game in agonizing detail, which would give the wives time to mentally organize their schedules for the week, since they didn’t have to listen to a word their husbands were saying because it was just about a guy on TV hitting a ball with a stick for some reason. At least their husbands hadn’t spent the day watching some naked girl pretend to enjoy getting strangled during sex, which would only give them bizarre ideas about how they should spend the rest of the weekend.
Now all that has changed. Women are invading every aspect of sports so that men can watch other men doing useless things for no reason while thinking about sexual strangulation at the same time. For instance, after ball games, attractive female sportscasters are now assigned to interview players so male viewers can listen vaguely to some athlete saying, “You’ve gotta take it one game at time,” while simultaneously wondering what the female sportscaster would look like if she were wearing some ridiculous leather contraption and a pair of handcuffs.
Having more women athletes on the field has also changed the nature of sports by ruining everything. Sports used to reflect masculine values like winning and also more winning. But now sports also have to reflect female values which run the gamut from incomprehensible to non-existent depending on the woman’s mood on any given day. For example, when gymnast Simone Biles quit the Tokyo Olympics because she had some girly problem called the twisties, most men felt this was tantamount to losing which, according to many sports analysts, is approximately the opposite of winning. But no. The men were swiftly informed that, in fact, Simone Biles had been very brave to quit like a girl over her girly twisties. And ever since then, Olympic women’s gymnastics has included Quitting as an event, along with Crying, Hugging the Winner as if You Were Happy for Her, and Giving Men a Look that Says they Better not say Something Insensitive or There’ll be Hell to Pay.

In women’s basketball, Caitlin Clark has completely transformed the game by causing people to realize there’s such a thing as women’s basketball. To thank her, black women players have been repeatedly beating the living crap out of Clark for being talented while white. This turns out to be a game that men will actually watch because it involves women wrestling with each other, so now men are showing up at women’s basketball games and hurling sex toys down at the court, which has also made the women’s game more popular by including sex toys. Even so, a woman’s basketball game remains the least popular American event that isn’t a colonoscopy, and when the players recently marched outside the stadium holding signs that said “Pay us what we’re worth,” they discovered they actually owed the league $15,000 apiece.
To prove that it’s not only women who ruin everything in sports, the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings have hired two male cheerleaders. So now, instead of an occasional amusing glimpse of pretty girls prancing around the sidelines in an intriguingly suggestive way, Vikings fans are being treated to two prancing homosexuals, something no sentient creature wants to see except other homosexuals who aren’t even watching sports because they’re homosexual.
And as for the first female umpire, so far her ball and strike calls have been about one and a half percent less accurate than the average male’s, which is being hailed as really great for a girl, and should transform the sport completely, by ruining everything.

For Uber, it’s time to get either new lawyers or new executives, because its new “Women Preferences” policy is obvious sex discrimination that violates the law. If we owned stock in the company, we’d sell it to avoid a loss from the big-dollar lawsuits that are sure to ensue for this ham-fisted “equity” scheme.
Recently, Uber <a href="https://www.uber.com/newsroom/women-preferences/">announced</a> that in the interests of making its “platform better for women,” it is implementing a “Women Preferences” pilot program that will give women riders &#8220;more ways to choose rides with women drivers&#8221; and women drivers the option “to request trips with women riders, including during peak earning hours like evenings.” In other words, Uber will be empowering its drivers to ignore, that is, discriminate against, male riders. Kind of reminds one of a time when taxi drivers all too often sped up and drove past black residents trying to hail them for a ride. Now, such conduct is prohibited by law.
The only difference between the racist taxi drivers of old and the sexist Uber drivers of new is that the digital “drive-by” discrimination is based on sex instead of race. But both are prohibited under the law.
Uber’s announcement claims this new policy is “designed to give women riders and drivers more choice, more confidence, and more flexibility.” However, “more choice, more confidence, and more flexibility” does not provide a company with a license to violate state and federal anti-discrimination laws.
Uber also brags in its announcement that it started this program in, of all places, Saudi Arabia. You know, one of the world’s most discriminatory countries, where women are treated as second-class citizens.
Yes, you read that right. Uber started its “Women Preferences” pilot program in the unenlightened Middle Eastern nation only after Saudi Arabia finally gave women the right to drive in 2019. That’s a remarkable delay, given that the first woman to be <a href="https://transportationhistory.org/2022/03/02/women-in-transportation-history-anne-rainsford-french-bush-automotive-pioneer/">issued</a> a driver’s license in the District of Columbia (Anne Rainsford French) received it in 1900. But what more would one expect from a nation that didn’t grant women the right to vote for the <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-35075702">first time</a> until 2015?
Uber’s lawyers seem to need a refresher on the law.
As a company incorporated in California, Uber is subject to the state’s <a href="https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=CIV&amp;sectionNum=51">Unruh Civil Rights Act</a>, which prohibits discrimination by all business establishments open to the public in California. Among others, it applies to hotels, restaurants, stores, theaters, taxis, and yes, rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft. California-based businesses that serve the public must treat everyone equally — regardless of their race, religion, sex, or disability, among other protected characteristics.
What’s more, federal law — the <a href="https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/civil-rights-act">Civil Rights Act of 1964</a> — prohibits discrimination in public accommodations as well. And while sex is not a protected category under Title II of the Civil Rights Act (like race is), Title VII of that same Act prohibits sex discrimination and harassment in employment contexts. That means that male Uber drivers who are not provided with the same sex-selective rider options as their female colleagues may have a claim for discriminatory treatment under that federal law, as well.
This isn’t the first time that the rideshare company has been accused of violating civil rights law. In 2017, Uber <a href="https://www.eeoc.gov/newsroom/uber-pay-44-million-resolve-eeoc-sexual-harassment-and-retaliation-charge#:~:text=The%20pre%2Dlitigation%20agreement%20was,retaliation%20after%20January%201%2C%202014.">agreed</a> to pay out $4.4 million in fees to settle a class-action lawsuit charging that the company had failed to adequately address sexual harassment by its drivers against female passengers. The same year, Uber software engineer Susan Fowler wrote a blog post that went viral in which she <a href="https://time.com/5784464/susan-fowler-book-uber-sexual-harassment/">accused</a> the Silicon Valley-based company of sex discrimination and harassment — both violations of Title VII.
And in 2021, the U.S. Department of Justice sued Uber, alleging that the company had violated the Americans with Disabilities Act by charging wait time fees to riders with disabilities who took longer to get in Uber vehicles. Uber eventually agreed to <a href="https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/uber-commits-changes-and-pays-millions-resolve-justice-department-lawsuit-overcharging-people#:~:text=(Uber)%20to%20resolve%20a%20lawsuit,discriminatory%20fees%20due%20to%20disability.">settle</a> the lawsuit, and paid millions in compensation to affected riders.
Uber’s new policy also allows riders to “select the ‘Women Drivers’ option when requesting a ride.”
If you want to avoid a taxi, bus, train, or airplane because you don’t like the race or sex of the driver or pilot, you can do that. While that might evidence questionable moral beliefs, it doesn’t violate state or federal law — after all, consumers exercise preference in the market all the time. But the private companies and local governments who own those taxis, buses, trains, and airplanes cannot engage in the same type of discriminatory “preferencing.”
Uber is rolling out this program in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Detroit, and says it is doing so “after extensive testing and feedback from global markets like Saudi Arabia, Germany, and France, where women-only options have been well received.”
Uber’s conduct in “global markets like Saudi Arabia” is blatantly illegal in the United States, regardless of whether it’s “well received” or not.

Anyone paying attention to the fight for women’s sports already knows that Riley Gaines isn’t backing down. And as the nation starts to wake up, she’s no longer alone.
The 12-time All-American swimmer and tireless women’s advocate has become a household name by doing something simple but radical: she’s speaking the truth. Now, Gaines is teaming up with XX-XY Athletics, the only athletic brand unapologetically championing biological women, to launch a collaboration that’s as bold and brave as she is. 
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Riley Gaines&#039; Be Bold Collection Is Here" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tuEEVWfPcMQ?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The retro-inspired Be Bold collection is infused with red, white, and blue to showcase unapologetic pride in this nation. But the brand and the styles aren’t just fashion — they represent a cultural pushback. And according to XX-XY founder Jennifer Sey, the timing couldn’t be more perfect.
“The first drop launched on June 23rd, the anniversary of Title IX. So it&#8217;s a celebration of all that Title IX represents, the opportunity it presented for women and girls across the country,” Sey told The Daily Wire in an exclusive interview. “And it sort of highlights the fact that we need to continue to fight to uphold it. We’re not going backwards.”
Not long before the collection’s June release, the Department of Education ruled that the University of Pennsylvania <a href="https://www.ed.gov/about/news/press-release/us-department-of-education-announces-university-of-pennsylvania-has-entered-resolution-agreement-resolve-its-title-ix-violations#:~:text=This%20action%20follows%20the%20Department's,the%20Trump%20effect%20in%20action.">violated Title IX</a> by allowing a biological male to compete on the women’s swim team, therefore robbing female athletes of records, awards, and their dignity. 
The school was forced to apologize and restore honors to athletes like Gaines. Shortly after, the Supreme Court <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/red-states-set-to-defend-womens-sports-at-supreme-court">announced</a> it would hear two landmark cases involving men competing in women&#8217;s sports. Sey said it’s all proof that the cultural tide is turning, and that this collection will help capture that truth.
“The world is shifting under our feet,” she said. “That’s in large part due to Riley’s work.”
Sey has a background in standing up for what’s right. A former elite gymnast and the first whistleblower in her sport to expose abuse, she spent decades at the helm of major brands like Levi’s before founding XX-XY Athletics in 2023 with a singular mission: to stand up for real women.
“I looked around at all the big brands pretending to champion female athletes, and none of them really did. They make money off of it, but behind the scenes, they treat women with astonishing disregard,” she said.
With Be Bold, Sey is hoping to turn that hypocrisy on its head.
The collection wasn’t just inspired by Gaines. It was built with her.
“She was totally involved,” Sey said of the line of fitness apparel. “The red, white, and blue color scheme? That’s all her. The name Be Bold? That’s how she signs her books. We leaned into her favorite pieces and her signature style.”
<div id="attachment_951509" style="width: 586px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-951509" class="size-large wp-image-951509" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5664-576x576.jpg" alt="Cropped performance tank" width="576" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5664-576x576.jpg 576w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5664-300x300.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5664-150x150.jpg 150w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5664-768x768.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5664.jpg 1200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px" />XX-XY Athletics</div>
Gaines’s go-to item is the cropped performance tank, Sey says, stressing that all the pieces both make a statement and support real athletes who need their sportswear to work as hard as they do. These are high-quality items designed for female athletes who have both principles and high standards.
Another standout from the collection is the oversized concert tee, a nod to both Gen Z-approved oversized street style and old-school Americana. The back of the tee features the 37 words of Title IX, a fashionable protest.
<div id="attachment_951511" style="width: 586px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-951511" class="size-large wp-image-951511" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Title-9-T_7385-576x576.jpg" alt="Title IX tee" width="576" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Title-9-T_7385-576x576.jpg 576w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Title-9-T_7385-300x300.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Title-9-T_7385-150x150.jpg 150w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Title-9-T_7385-768x768.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Title-9-T_7385.jpg 1200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px" />XX-XY Athletics</div>
And for the non-athletes, there are plenty of options for a more casual look, like a vintage-inspired velour tracksuit straight out of 1972.
“When I was on the national team in the very early 80s, velour tracksuits were our dress sweats that we wore to march out at major international competitions,” Sey recalled. “So we definitely allude to them with some of the styling…we definitely use 1972 as a grounding point.”
<div id="attachment_951513" style="width: 586px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-951513" class="size-large wp-image-951513" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Velour-tracksuit-576x576.jpg" alt="Velour trackuit" width="576" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Velour-tracksuit-576x576.jpg 576w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Velour-tracksuit-300x300.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Velour-tracksuit-150x150.jpg 150w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Velour-tracksuit-768x768.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Velour-tracksuit.jpg 1200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px" />XX-XY Athletics</div>
This collection isn’t just about Riley, nor is it just a fashion statement. It’s about offering a platform to female athletes who’ve been abandoned by major brands and sports teams too afraid to take a side.
“One of the things we pride ourselves on is we scoop up athletes that no one else will touch. We will platform and empower the female athletes,” Sey said. “So they don&#8217;t feel so alone. Oftentimes they&#8217;re the only ones on their team or in their community [speaking up]. But when they realize there&#8217;s this network of women across the country who are doing the same thing, it&#8217;s incredibly powerful to have that.”
<div id="attachment_951507" style="width: 586px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-951507" class="size-large wp-image-951507" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5634-576x576.jpg" alt="leggings and tank" width="576" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5634-576x576.jpg 576w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5634-300x300.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5634-150x150.jpg 150w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5634-768x768.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Riley-leggings-and-tank_5634.jpg 1200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px" />XX-XY Athletics</div>
Sey says Gaines will continue working closely with the brand to identify and support more athletes who have the courage to speak up.
“At the end of the day, we&#8217;re all about supporting female athletes. I mean, that&#8217;s what it comes down to,” she said.
XX-XY’s gear isn’t just for show. A runner recently completed the Boston Marathon in under three hours wearing one of their tanks. That same style shows up in the new Be Bold collection, but this time reimagined in patriotic hues.
The idea behind Be Bold is simple but subversive: give everyday Americans an easy way to express support for truth, fairness, and biological reality without having to say a word.
“The reason I started the brand, or at least part of it, was I felt like if we could create something really cool that was also world-class products, we could give people an easy way to sort of rep their advocacy,” Sey said. “The mainstream brands do this. Why can&#8217;t we do it?”
Sey, who’s been targeted by critics and called every name in the book. But she says the backlash isn’t stopping her. 
“Noisy doesn’t mean right,” she said. “You’ve got to screw up your courage and stand by women and girls.”
The Gaines collaboration is just the beginning. Sey teased more limited-edition drops on the horizon, plus a deeper partnership with Riley that goes beyond just appearing in ads. 
<div id="attachment_951515" style="width: 586px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-951515" class="size-large wp-image-951515" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Gaines-group-576x576.jpg" alt="Gaines group" width="576" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Gaines-group-576x576.jpg 576w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Gaines-group-300x300.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Gaines-group-150x150.jpg 150w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Gaines-group-768x768.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/Gaines-group.jpg 1200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px" />XX-XY Athletics</div>
When asked where she dreams of seeing pieces from the Be Bold collection show up, Sey didn’t hesitate.
“We would love to see someone wear any item atop a podium at an NCAA championship,” she said, “Or walking into the Supreme Court wearing a Title IX tee, that would be amazing, right?”
As the legal battles heat up, broader cultural beliefs continue to influence how this topic is perceived in the general public. Sey says the silent majority is finally starting to speak up. 
“You know, I think this movement for common sense is sort of billed as right-wing by the mainstream media. But the fact is, it&#8217;s not. It&#8217;s a really broad-based coalition. You can&#8217;t have 80% of Americans [agreeing] and have it only be the right. It’s just regular people.”

It is a testament to the rampant wildfire that is political correctness: &#8220;International Non-Binary People&#8217;s Day.&#8221; Yes, that is a thing. Since 2012, this day lands on the “PC calendar” as July 14th. 
As a medical professional, I must point out an obvious, if inconvenient, conflict: Human beings are sexually dimorphic — biologically male or female — with rare genetic or anatomic conditions being an exception (e.g., <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/swyer-syndrome">Swyer Syndrome</a>,<a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22199-androgen-insensitivity-syndrome"> Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome</a>). By elevating subjective feelings on gender above objective sex differences, this day reflects the broader cultural shift that values political correctness over biological facts.
Plus, through this PC lens, girls who are gender-nonconforming are encouraged to identify as non-binary or male; they are told that their personality is incompatible with being female. That is wrong. In an attempt to expand &#8220;inclusion,&#8221; we are slowly erasing womanhood. This is evident most in the propagation of gender-neutral language that has gotten out of hand. 
As a board-certified OB/GYN physician, I am, by definition, a women’s healthcare specialist. Read that again, slowly: women’s healthcare specialist. 
More importantly, I am the father of two intelligent, compassionate, and talented young women. Notice I didn’t say “menstruating people,” “people with a uterus,” or any other fashionable euphemisms. 
And in that pursuit, medicine — the field entrusted with science, truth, and care — is making a critical, potentially devastating mistake: erasing women. 
Gender-neutral language has become trendy in media, education, public policy, and now in medicine. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (<a href="https://www.acog.org/clinical-information/policy-and-position-statements/statements-of-policy/2022/inclusive-language%20Inclusive%20Language%20%7C%20ACOG">ACOG</a>), for example, states it “will move beyond the exclusive use of gendered language and definitions.” The American Society of Reproductive Medicine (<a href="https://www.asrm.org/practice-guidance/practice-committee-documents/inclusive-language-and-environment-to-welcome-lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender-queer-questioning-intersex-and-asexual-patients/">ASRM</a>) offers similar guidance.
Ironically, when language avoids or replaces the word “woman,” especially in contexts centered on women’s lived experiences — pregnancy, motherhood, menstruation — it ceases to be inclusive. It becomes erasure.
This is biologically inaccurate, linguistically confusing, and ethically wrong. It must stop.
Terms like “pregnant people,”  “birthing people”, “menstruators,” and “chestfeeders” are billed as inclusive. But they send a quieter, more harmful message: that “woman” is a word too controversial or exclusive to use.
This reframes womanhood as something to dilute in order to accommodate others — when in reality, specificity and inclusion are not mutually exclusive.
This matters not just symbolically, but materially. Women’s health has long been under-researched and underfunded. When language becomes so neutral that it no longer identifies women as the primary subjects of reproductive care, advocacy efforts lose their power.
If it&#8217;s now politically incorrect to say “maternal mortality disproportionately affects Black women,” and we must instead say “birthing people,” we obscure the social and biological realities that demand urgent attention. Precision in language is not exclusion. It is clarity.
Ironically, this expansion of gender-neutral language is profoundly anti-woman. A movement that can’t say the word “woman” cannot fully fight for women. 
Think this is just one disgruntled OB/GYN’s opinion? Think again. 
<a href="https://www.jkrowling.com/opinions/j-k-rowling-writes-about-her-reasons-for-speaking-out-on-sex-and-gender-issues/">J.K. Rowling</a> — a woman and lifelong advocate for women’s rights — was globally vilified for opposing terms like “people who menstruate.” 
And just this month (June 2025), a peer-reviewed paper in Sexual and Reproductive Health warned that “desexed” language is confusing, alienating, and potentially harmful — even to the very populations it intends to help. As those authors write:
<blockquote>Desexed language is likely to have an adverse impact on people with low health literacy and language skills, risk alienation, and cause confusion… It may even cause harm to transgender and gender-diverse people who also need clear health communications.</blockquote>
Similar sentiment has been stated by <a href="https://www.ohchr.org/en/special-procedures/sr-violence-against-women">Reem Alsalem</a>, a Jordanian independent consultant and the United Nations Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls. Alsalem stated:
<blockquote>Erasing women and women-specific language and needs based on their sex is not only wrong, but also demeaning, regressive and constitutes one of the worst forms of violence that women and girls can experience.</blockquote>
Even the <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/defending-women-from-gender-ideology-extremism-and-restoring-biological-truth-to-the-federal-government/%20Defending%20Women%20From%20Gender%20Ideology%20Extremism%20And%20Restoring%20Biological%20Truth%20To%20The%20Federal%20Government%20%E2%80%93%20The%20White%20House">U.S. government</a> recently declared: “It is the policy of the United States to use clear and accurate language that recognizes women are biologically female and men are biologically male.”
Similarly, my home state of Texas recently <a href="https://txvalues.org/breaking-texas-senate-passes-womens-bill-of-rights/">passed legislation</a> that defines man and woman based on biological reality. This is not “anti-trans.” It is pro-woman. Pro-girl. Pro-truth.
Yes, there is fresh momentum on protecting women and women’s rights. This is good news. On July 1, 2025, for example, the <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/lgbtq/5380157-penn-trans-women-sports-upenn-trump-mcmahon-lia-thomas-ncaa-title-ix/">University of Pennsylvania</a> — which was found in violation of Title IX regulations — agreed to restrict trans athletes from participating in women’s sports. That is a win for women’s sports everywhere.
In the effort to include everyone, let’s not lose sight of the people who fought longest and hardest to be heard: women.
Say the word. Use the word. Because avoiding it doesn’t create justice — it creates silence. And silence has never been a friend to women.

Defense Department Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson torched The Atlantic over a hit piece claiming that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is making policy changes that will effectively &#8220;sideline&#8221; women in the military.
Staff writer Missy Ryan shared the article along with the following tease line, on X: &#8220;NEW: Will Pete Hegseth&#8217;s &#8216;War on Woke&#8217; sideline women in the military?

The article suggested that Hegseth was so driven to remove &#8220;woke&#8221; culture from the military that he was willing to undo years of &#8220;progress&#8221; that had ultimately led to women serving in combat roles.
Wilson responded first by mocking the outlet for apparently updating the article with a new headline, and suggested that its first effort had not been &#8220;woke&#8221; enough.
&#8220;.@TheAtlantic headline wasn&#8217;t woke enough so they changed it,&#8221; she posted, sharing screenshots of the original and the update, in side-by-side format.
The original headline read, &#8220;Will Pete Hegseth&#8217;s &#8216;War On Woke&#8217; Sideline Women?&#8221; — and the updated version read, &#8220;The Backdoor Way That Pete Hegseth Could Keep Women Out Of Combat.&#8221;

The New York Times, a former newspaper, recently ran a story with this headline: “Men, Where Have You Gone? Please Come Back.” The sub-headline was: “So many men have retreated from intimacy, hiding behind firewalls, filters and curated personas, dabbling and scrolling. We miss you.”
Now, I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “Oh, Klavan, you smoking hot hunk of hilarity, a joke is a joke, but do you really expect us to believe that that was a headline in the same former newspaper that has spent the last forty years denigrating men and marriage and promoting a sexual culture of such degrading perversion that it could only be intended to cause even a fully operational male to recoil horrified from sexual communion as if he were Ben Affleck in the moment he suddenly realized he had left the really nice Jennifer for the Jennifer with the admittedly spectacular body but with the kind of personality that could make even a fully operational male recoil horrified from sexual communion as if he’d spent the last forty years reading the New York Times?&#8221; And okay, sure, even I’ve forgotten where that sentence began, but the point is, no, I’m not making this up.
This article wondering why men had retreated from intimacy into a world of solitary stimulation utterly devoid of emotional content was written by Rachel Drucker, a woman who spent part of her career working for Playboy and its affiliated hard core porn outlets, enticing men to retreat from intimacy into a world of solitary stimulation utterly devoid of emotional content. She writes (and this is a real quote, I’m still not even making stuff up yet): “I remember when part of heterosexual male culture involved showing up with a woman to signal something — status, success, desirability. Women were once signifiers of value, even to other men. That dynamic has quietly collapsed.”
So — baffled by this mystery — the New York Times did what they usually do in such circumstances: they sent their reporters to find out what men think, by interviewing women.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-andrew-klavan-show">WATCH: The Andrew Klavan Show</a></h3>
For instance, they spoke with Karen Screamy-Hate-Face, President of the Society for Harridans who are Intolerably Loud, or S-H-R-I-L. Ms. Screamy-Hate-Face said, “I can’t for the life of me figure out why I can’t get a date with one of these toxic snakes. I’ve got the pink hat, all the right tattoos and plenty of insight on how to make men be better than they are. What do those bastards want from me? Tenderness?”
The Times also interviewed the holder of the Guinness Book World Record for highest body count, Karen Spikenose, who told them, “Frankly, I think most men are just too sexually insecure. They’re always afraid I’m going to compare them to all the men I slept with yesterday. But really, I’m the sort of girl who usually takes each man separately. It’s more time-consuming, but I feel it makes for a more intimate seven minutes.”
And they interviewed divorce attorney Karen Crotchfangs, who told us, “I just think men don’t know what they really want. They say they want a feminine girl like me who gets all made up for a date and wears pretty dresses and lets them pay for dinner, but then the minute they see my penis they run for the hills. Sometimes without even finishing their drink.”
In the end, however, despite its considerable reportorial power, the New York Times somehow could not solve the mystery of why men no longer feel that women add value to their lives.
Now, part of our job here at the Daily Wire is to bring you the kind of material that outlets like the New York Times simply can’t provide. Like journalism. So we immediately sent our reporters out into the field, and when they didn’t come back from the field but simply went prancing off across the grass picking flowers and weaving garlands of daisies for one another’s heads, we sent out some more reporters to interview a prominent man on why he had retreated from intimacy. Unfortunately, the man just kept sobbing violently and crying out, “What was I thinking? I could have had the nice Jennifer!”

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth laid into a reporter who asked why he hadn&#8217;t specifically congratulated the female pilots who had been a part of the United States&#8217; recent strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities after they stated: &#8220;The early messages that you sent out only congratulated &#8216;the boys.'&#8221;
Hegseth, in the hours after the mission had been completed, touted the success of &#8220;our boys on those bombers&#8221; – and The New York Times, among others, complained that not all of those involved had been male.
Times Pentagon reporter John Ismay, most notably, wrote, &#8220;In the briefing, Hegseth referred to B-2 pilots as ‘our boys on those bombers,’ yet both men and women have been trained to fly them.&#8221;
When that topic came up during Thursday morning&#8217;s briefing, Hegseth bowed his head slightly, laughing, before responding.

&#8220;So, when I say something like &#8216;our boys in bombers&#8217; — see, this is the kind of thing the press does,&#8221; Hegseth replied. &#8220;Of course, the Chairman mentioned a female bomber pilot. Fantastic. She&#8217;s fantastic. She&#8217;s a hero. I want more female bomber pilots.&#8221;
&#8220;I hope the men and women of our country sign up to do such brave and audacious things,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;But when you spin it as because I say &#8216;our boys in bombers&#8217; as a common phrase – I&#8217;ll keep saying things like that, whether they&#8217;re men or women.

Planned Parenthood has long been synonymous with abortion, profiting from the violent destruction of preborn children. But now, the nation&#8217;s largest abortion chain has added another sinister revenue stream — mutilating young people in the name of “gender-affirming care.” It is past time for Congress to cut off the more than half a billion dollars in taxpayer funding that Planned Parenthood receives annually. Americans should not be forced to subsidize an organization that ends the life of preborn babies and irreversibly harms confused young people.
Planned Parenthood’s <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/report-details-planned-parenthood-record-abortions-funding/">total revenue</a> for 2023-24 was $2.03B, nearly the same as the previous fiscal year of 2022-23 at $2.05B. They took in a staggering $498 million just in donations in 2022 — and instead of improving the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/us/planned-parenthood-clinics.html">horrific conditions</a> inside its clinics, it funneled much of it into advancing its radical political and legal agenda. In 2024 alone, the abortion giant spent <a href="https://www.plannedparenthoodaction.org/pressroom/statement-from-planned-parenthood-action-fund-on-presidential-election-results#:~:text=Planned%20Parenthood%20advocacy%20and%20political%20organizations%20made%20a%20record%2Dbreaking%20%2469.5%20million%20investment%20during%20the%202024%20election%20cycle.">$69.5 million</a> to defeat pro-life Republican candidates and policies.
<h3>Abortion: The Business of Death</h3>
According to its 2023-2024 <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/report-details-planned-parenthood-record-abortions-funding/">annual report,</a> Planned Parenthood performed 402,230 abortions in the 2022 to 2023 fiscal year. This breaks down to an average of 1,102 daily abortions, nearly 46 hourly, and one every 78 seconds Its business model revolves around ending innocent lives, and they are unapologetic about it. The science is clear: from the moment of fertilization, a unique human life begins. Yet Planned Parenthood treats preborn children as disposable. Their so-called &#8220;care&#8221; consists of poisoning or dismembering the youngest members of our human family.
This brutality is not an unfortunate byproduct of their work — it is their core business. Despite offering <a href="https://lozierinstitute.org/fact-sheet-planned-parenthoods-2023-24-annual-report/">fewer legitimate healthcare</a> services each year, Planned Parenthood’s abortion numbers continue to rise. Women in crisis deserve real support, not an organization that profits from their despair by ending their children’s lives.
Defunding Planned Parenthood is not about limiting healthcare access; it is about redirecting taxpayer dollars to organizations that actually serve women and children. Yet, year after year, Congress continues to funnel hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars into this abortion behemoth.
<h3>Gender Transitions: The Business of Mutilation</h3>
As if poisoning and dismembering preborn children weren’t evil enough, Planned Parenthood has also become one of the largest providers of cross-sex hormones, pushing powerful, life-altering drugs onto vulnerable teenagers with little to no medical oversight. According to <a href="https://www.thefp.com/p/how-did-planned-parenthood-become?utm_source=chatgpt.com">insurance claim data</a>, Planned Parenthood has prescribed gender transition hormones to at least 40,000 young adults in just one year, often after brief, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/undercover-investigation-planned-parenthood-prescribing-hormones-minors-minimal-oversight">superficial consultations</a>.
One of us, Chloe, knows firsthand the devastation of this industry. As a teenager, she was encouraged to believe that she was born in the wrong body. Medical professionals — including those at organizations like Planned Parenthood — fast-tracked her onto puberty blockers, testosterone, and eventually a double mastectomy, all before she was old enough to legally drive. She was told it would bring her happiness. It didn’t. It left her with permanent scars, a deep voice, a damaged body, and the realization that she had been betrayed by the very people who claimed to help.
Planned Parenthood is not providing informed, compassionate care. They are running a conveyor belt of gender transition services, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfoZCtbvdhM">pushing vulnerable young people</a> toward a medical pathway that results in permanent sterilization, sexual dysfunction, and lifelong regret. Many of those who detransition, like Chloe, find themselves abandoned by the medical community that once rushed them into these procedures.
<h3>No More Taxpayer Funding</h3>
The American people should not be forced to pay for the destruction of innocent lives or the mutilation of confused young people. Planned Parenthood has shown time and time again that it is not a legitimate healthcare provider. It is an ideological machine that profits off death and suffering.
According to a recent <a href="https://lozierinstitute.org/fact-sheet-planned-parenthoods-2023-24-annual-report/#_ftn14">report</a> from the Lozier Institute, &#8220;Taxpayer funding in the form of government grants, contracts, and Medicaid reimbursements hit $792.2 million, over $2 million per day&#8230;&#8221;
European nations such as Sweden, Finland, and the United Kingdom are now restricting the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for minors, recognizing that the evidence supporting them is weak and the risks catastrophic. Yet, in the U.S., Planned Parenthood continues to push these treatments at record rates, all while receiving taxpayer dollars.
Enough is enough. Congress must act. Every dollar that funds Planned Parenthood is a dollar spent enabling the deaths of preborn children, the mutilation of young people caught in an identity crisis, and political attack ads on Republican leaders. That money should be invested in real healthcare — providers that support women, protect children, and offer genuine, life-affirming care and psychological help.
The fight to defund Planned Parenthood is not just a policy battle; it is a crossroads for our nation. Lives are at stake for both the preborn children who deserve the right to live and the young people being led down a destructive path from which they may never fully recover. We must demand that our lawmakers stand against this barbarism. It’s time to end taxpayer funding for an organization that kills and mutilates the most vulnerable in our community. Congress must defund Planned Parenthood now.

The Supreme Court has now ruled in favor of the idea that you don&#8217;t have to be a member of a minority group in order to be discriminated against.
That is obviously true. The fact of the matter is that you can certainly be a white, straight male and be discriminated against, or, in the case reviewed by the Supreme Court, a white, straight female.
According to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/05/us/politics/supreme-court-straight-woman-workplace-discrimination.html">The New York Times</a>:
<blockquote>The Supreme Court on Thursday <a href="https://archive.is/o/WjYeY/https:/www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/23-1039_c0n2.pdf">unanimously ruled</a> in favor of a straight woman who twice lost positions to gay workers, saying an appeals court had been wrong to require her to meet a heightened burden in seeking to prove workplace discrimination because she was a member of a majority group.
The decision came two years after the Supreme Court <a href="https://archive.is/o/WjYeY/https:/www.nytimes.com/2023/06/29/us/politics/supreme-court-admissions-affirmative-action-harvard-unc.html">struck down race-conscious admissions programs</a> in higher education and amid the Trump administration’s fierce efforts to root out programs that promote diversity. The ruling will place further pressure on employers and others to eliminate affirmative action and other initiatives that seek to provide opportunities to members of historically disadvantaged groups.</blockquote>
Leftist Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote the opinion for the court. Again, remember this was a unanimous decision, so the three leftists on the Court, Jackson, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor, concurred. Despite the best attempts of The New York Times to turn the decision into a right-wing decision, it was not. It was unanimous.
The Times continued:
<blockquote>The standard for proving workplace discrimination under the law, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote for the court, “does not vary based on whether or not the plaintiff is a member of a majority group.” The case was brought by Marlean A. Ames, who had worked for the Ohio Department of Youth Services, which oversees parts of the state’s juvenile corrections system. After a decade there, in 2014 she became the administrator of a program addressing prison rape. Five years later, she applied for a promotion. Her supervisors turned her down, saying she lacked vision and leadership skills. They eventually gave the position to a gay woman who had been at the department for a shorter time and, unlike Ms. Ames, lacked a college degree.
Not long after denying her the new position, her supervisors removed her from her existing job, telling her that they had concerns about her leadership and offering her a demotion that came with a substantial pay cut. She was replaced by a gay man with less seniority.</blockquote>
Ames claimed that she was discriminated against because she was straight.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/bss-ep-2212-member-exclusive?elementPosition=2&amp;row=2&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+Episodes&amp;rowType=Horizontal+Show+Episodes+Carousel">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
Put aside the underlying facts of the case. The question here for the Supreme Court was whether she had to — as the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals suggested —prove that she was a member of a minority or face a heightened standard because she wasn’t a member of a minority group.
<blockquote>The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, in Cincinnati, said she could have satisfied the “background circumstances” requirement by showing that decisions about her employment were made by “a member of the relevant minority group (here, gay people)” or with statistical evidence. But the appeals court said Ms. Ames had provided neither kind of proof.</blockquote>
The underlying facts of the case are less relevant than the actual ruling, which says that yes, of course, you can be discriminated against if you&#8217;re a white, straight person. If you&#8217;re a member of a majority group, you can indeed be discriminated against.
That should not be a shock in any way, shape, or form.
Good for the Supreme Court for ruling correctly.

Former first lady Michelle Obama said that a woman’s unique ability to grow a human life inside her body is “the least of” what the reproductive system is for.
Obama, a prominent Democrat and supporter of abortion, discussed her thoughts during an <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/0SvVgcSCgmhJysFFOPU5hR">episode</a> of her “IMO with Michelle Obama &amp; Craig Robinson” podcast on Wednesday.
The “Becoming” author said that the &#8220;frustrating thing&#8221; is that the issue &#8220;has been reduced to a question of choice, as if that&#8217;s all of what women&#8217;s health is.&#8221;
&#8220;I attempted to make the argument on the campaign trail this past election that there&#8217;s just so much more at stake because so many men have no idea what women go through,&#8221; Obama said. &#8220;We haven&#8217;t been researched, we haven&#8217;t been considered, and it still affects the way a lot of men lawmakers, a lot of male politicians, a lot of male religious leaders think about the issue of choice, as if it&#8217;s just about the fetus, the baby.&#8221;

&#8220;Women&#8217;s reproductive health is about our life,” Obama added. “It&#8217;s about this whole complicated reproductive system that the least of what it does is produce life.”
She continued, “It&#8217;s a very important thing that it does, but you only produce life if the machine that&#8217;s producing it—if you want to whittle us down to a machine—if the machine is functioning in a healthy, streamlined kind of way. But there is no discussion or apparent connection between the two.&#8221;
The former first lady’s friend, OB/GYN Dr. Sharon Malone, was a guest on the episode. She agreed with Obama’s thoughts, saying, &#8220;one of the things that is disturbing&#8221; is that the &#8220;government has gotten involved in decisions that are personal and healthcare decisions.”
“It&#8217;s not just about whether someone chooses to have a pregnancy or not, but this is a situation where a woman should have control over her body—when and if to have a baby, and to decide how that pregnancy should continue,&#8221; she said.
At another point in the episode, Dr. Malone also mentioned a link between “older sperm” and “more autism.”
“They&#8217;ll never let that secret out. That may be the key behind all the defunding everything,&#8221; Michelle Obama replied. &#8220;Then old men can keep marrying 20-year-olds. It&#8217;s like, &#8216;I&#8217;ll give you the baby you want.'&#8221;

Women's Rights

Truly wise people have known for a long time that college doesn’t make you smarter – in fact, it usually has the opposite effect. But despite this reality, it’s always a little jarring when an institution of higher learning makes a mistake that any 3-year-old child could identify as wrong.
In today’s episode of You Can’t Make This Up, Smith College, an all-women’s school founded in 1871, just handed an honorary degree to Rachel Levine, a four-star admiral and former Assistant Secretary for Health who also happens to be a man formerly named Richard.
It&#8217;s a big slap in the face to feminists who have been fighting for “women’s rights” since the school’s founding. It’s also an affront to all the normies out there who can plainly view the difference between girls and boys. In the case of Smith College, the school’s entire existence hinges on celebrating women. So, you know, maybe they should be able to identify one. 
But these activists running our elite institutions have long since traded common sense for total fealty to radical Left-wing gender theory proponents. No wonder people have a negative view of college these days.
Women’s rights advocate Riley Gaines, who gained notoriety after speaking out against a male competing as a woman in college swimming, <a href="https://x.com/Riley_Gaines_/status/1924202136625172482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> about the controversy on X.
“Smith college, a private *women’s* college in Massachusetts, awarded Rachel (Richard) Levine an honorary degree today,” she said. “He then delivered the commencement address. Ladies, congratulations — your graduation was led by the very thing feminism was allegedly fighting.”
Smith College was actually one of the universities to roll out and develop a formal program for Gender studies! While Smith graduates are drowning in student debt and gender studies degrees, the administration is busy handing out honorary degrees to someone who declares himself to be a woman, regardless of biological reality. 
Jeremy’s Razors believes the truth still matters, and we know exactly what a woman is. We make razors for men who accept their manhood as the solemn duty that it is, and for women who are actually women. 
And while Smith College is handing out honorary degrees like a participation trophy to a man in a dress, <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeremy’s Razors</a> is handing women the one thing the Left refuses to: reality. Our <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/collections/womens/products/womens-2nd-gen-1-1-starter-set?selling_plan=4057563349" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Women&#8217;s Razor</a> doesn’t care about “preferred” pronouns — it cares about giving you the closest, smoothest shave this side of sanity. Five blades. Aloe and Argan oil. A curvaceous handle that grips like truth in a world that keeps slipping into delusion. No lectures. No rainbow-washed pandering. Just the unapologetic femininity of a woman who knows who she is — and isn’t asking permission to be her. <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/collections/womens/products/womens-2nd-gen-1-1-starter-set?selling_plan=4057563349" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Get the razor that still knows what a woman is.</a> Because biology isn’t bigotry, and we’re not playing pretend.
There’s no virtue signaling, no rainbow razors during pride month, and precisely zero charades involving gender swapping based on feelings. We don’t give out fake awards based on gender identity. Here you’ll find sharp blades, bold values, and the kind of sanity you won’t find on most college campuses.
Smith College is confused. The media, as always, is complicit. But <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeremy’s Razors</a>? We’re standing on principle and declaring the truth. 
Stop giving your money to woke companies. <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shave with Jeremy’s Razors instead</a>.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton&#8217;s latest dig at Republican women made it clear that she has learned absolutely nothing from the massive wave of backlash that hit her after her 2016 comment referring to President Donald Trump&#8217;s supporters as a &#8220;basket of deplorables.&#8221;
Clinton sat down with Margaret Hoover for an interview in early May, and Hoover used the opportunity to ask the twice-failed Democratic presidential candidate what advice she might have for the first female President of the United States.

🚨NEW: Hillary Clinton appears to have learned nothing from her 2016 “basket of deplorables” remark — she just smeared nearly *all* Republican women as “HANDMAIDEN[S] TO THE PATRIARCHY”🚨<a href="https://twitter.com/DailyCaller?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DailyCaller</a> <a href="https://t.co/9rrFjDdO12">pic.twitter.com/9rrFjDdO12</a>

&#8220;Well,&#8221; Clinton began, and then there was a long pause before she added, &#8220;First of all, don’t be a handmaiden to the patriarchy, which kind of eliminates every woman on the other side of the aisle, except for very few.&#8221;
She named Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) as one example of a Republican woman who did not fit that particular description. Hoover suggested that former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) would be another.
&#8220;Yep, there&#8217;s a few,&#8221; Clinton continued. &#8220;Look, first we have to get there, and it is, you know, obviously so much harder than it should be. So, you know, if a woman runs who I think would be a good president, as I thought Kamala Harris would be and as I knew I would be, I will support that woman.&#8221;
Lily Tang Williams, Republican candidate for New Hampshire&#8217;s 2nd House District, fired back via X: &#8220;Hillary Clinton called Republican women &#8216;Handmaidens for the patriarchy.&#8217; What does she call her own party which supports men competing with women in women’s sports, hurting women &amp; invading their private spaces? Hypocrites!&#8221;
