HBO’s John Oliver spent his entire show last night arguing that men who claim to be women don’t have a competitive advantage in sports. (twitter.com)

Of course he did. He has to. They all have to.

To acknowledge there is even the slight variation would undermine not only the entire trans dogma, but parts of feminism as well. It would mean the sexes are not only not equal, but have clear advantages over the other.

Yep, it’s a keystone issue that men and women are 100% the same thing and if you step away from it the whole thing falls apart.

They don't care too much about social issues.

They want people miserable and distracted so it's easier to pick their pockets.

It's misdirection. Which is Oliver's speciality.

The reason it's so difficult to address is that it goes all of the way back to the origin of western civilization in ancient Egypt, and the birth of monotheism. Pharaoh Akhenaton, who attempted to replace the pagan gods of Egypt with the singular Aton, preached a gospel of absolute equality, even going so far as to have himself depicted as both man and woman in art.

I read feminism a bit differently. It says that women should positioned to do something even if men are better at it. They're not saying we are the same. They are saying we have to dole out to womeb whatever a eseen as the rewards without them having to do the work.

Feminism has always maintained that they can do anything men can do (meaning they see us as equals) except in cases where they are superior. This was their case for deserving more privileges.

So to acknowledge that men have extreme superiority across basically all sports would undermine nearly all types of feminism. From the radical to even the milquetoast, admitting that they are weak (and thereby in need of the bonds of "patriarchy" or just men for protection) goes against their stated ideologies in all forms.
