It was US President Donald Trump – a man who looked at Playboy founder, Hugh Hefner, and thought, “Now there’s a guy with life figured out” – who somehow became the only person in charge willing to pump the brakes on the surreal spectacle of born males bulldozing women on the rugby field, then waltzing right into the women’s locker room along with them. All while intersectional third-wave feminists are on the sidelines, basically acting like the hype squad… for the “dudes.”

How Trump suddenly became a feminist champion
The ban on biological men in women’s sports is an actual move to protect women, unlike most of the leftist posturing done to date

BY Rachel Marsden

After allowing a dude to smoke all the women in college swim championships, the NCAA American collegiate sports league announced on Thursday that it was suddenly putting an end to the practice, limiting the participation of transsexuals in women’s events to those whose assigned gender at birth was female. 

The move came in the wake of Trump’s executive order earlier in the week withdrawing federal funding from institutions that allowed biological males to compete against women. “If you let men take over women’s sports teams or invade your locker rooms, you will be investigated for violations of Title IX and risk your federal funding,” Trump said. 

Under this Title IX civil rights law, considered a major victory for 60’s and 70s-era second-wave feminist icons like Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan, and tennis icon and activist Billie Jean King, colleges receiving federal funding couldn’t just have sports teams and scholarships exclusively reserved for men anymore. Sports suddenly became a social elevator and opportunity springboard for young women, too. But all of that was clawed back, mostly to deafening silence from feminists.

How on earth did Donald “grab her by the p***y” Trump end up being the one to reestablish due north on this issue?

One could argue that it’s feminism itself that has been ideologically corrupted by radical leftism, to the point where even the second-wave feminists – who were considered radical back when they were fighting for women to own property, have their own credit cards, or keep their own name in marriage – now seem almost conservative in comparison to this latest crop. 

Feminism didn’t need intersectionality. That is, to get mixed up with causes that detract from the straightforward focus on improving the lives of women. There’s more than enough material to work with already when we still haven’t fully emerged from the turbulent wake of the MeToo movement, which shattered the long-standing omertà that mandated women’s silence about systemic second-class or abusive treatment as the price of fame and fortune in Western media and entertainment.

I was personally once told, despite supposedly being hired for my political acumen at a certain New York-based American cable news outfit, to just sit there and laugh at my co-host’s jokes, deferring to him while crossing and uncrossing my bare legs on camera. The message was clear: You either leave or comply, because if you don’t, then some other ambitious woman with equally decent legs will. And if you’re on the political right, good luck finding any feminists in your corner. Because leftist causes now take precedence over the defense of actual women, particularly if the woman in question doesn’t pass the ideological litmus test.

Rather than fighting the creeping, increasingly institutionalized corruption-driven brand of globalist leftism, today’s feminists have embraced it, confounding their struggle with all sorts of other causes that dilute their original mission. If one wanted to hijack the feminist movement, and render it totally useless in the actual defense of women, it’s hard to imagine a better way of going about it than by confusing it with issues like climate change and gender bending.

According to the United Nations’ “Feminist Climate Justice Framework for Action,” published in 2023, “economic hardship wrought by a heating planet is having additional knock-on effects for gender equality. Evidence shows that as communities are plunged into recurrent crises, tensions within families and between partners rise and gender-based violence escalates.” Ok, so when it gets hot outside, folks can get testy, and Mr. Hand can be inclined to become Mr. Fist. Do I have that right?

Lemme guess, the solution is just to give governments more of our tax money in an effort to stop the hot weather, right? Of course.

I seriously doubt that a single woman’s life has been spared by laundering tax cash into the elites’ climate change scam. Maybe if people were paying less of their own money into rackets like this, men and women alike would have more freedom to make decisions in their own best interests – including escaping any bad situation, whether that means leaving home or leaving a Spanish summer heatwave for the Edinburgh rain.

The kind of leftist causes that feminists have swallowed like they’re obligatory menu items included in a full meal deal are exactly the sort of issues that are relentlessly backed and promoted by corrupt institutional tools of regime change like USAID, which has funneled cash to NGOs messing around in the domestic affairs other countries, including under the pretext of promoting diversity.  So much for sticking it to the patriarchy when you’re actively helping to grease the skids for its regime change efforts. The kind that harm women around the world through displacement, insecurity, and death.

This systemic perversion has been such a detriment to the average woman that when Trump campaigned on the promise to take a wrecking ball to the costly corruption that was keeping the working and middle class impoverished, barefoot and in the kitchen in service of predatory special interests primarily serving the global financial class, he managed to get a higher percentage of the female vote than even Joe Biden did in 2020, despite Trump running against a woman: former Vice-President Kamala Harris. And Trump managed to score this support despite a clear lack of appetite in reclaiming the issue of women’s reproductive freedom from the states, several of which have outlawed abortion outright. Enough women apparently decided in the voting booth that their current lives are impacted by worse problems than just that one issue, which Harris and Biden themselves never promised to do anything about, either, opting instead to punt it to Congress and saying that they’ll sign a law protecting the right to access the procedure, if Congress can ever be bothered to give them one someday.

The same Democratic officials, hailed by today’s feminists, couldn’t be bothered to stand up for women against men who decided to identify as women – right before taking full advantage of the chance to dominate them on the playing field.

Second wave feminists who have been fighting for women’s equality of opportunity for decades by promoting the adoption of the Equal Rights Amendment, inexplicably failed to react, beyond actually cheering, when a key aspect of it that managed to make it into law – Title XI – was undermined. How exactly does allowing men to steal opportunities and financial benefits from women jibe with female advancement?

It doesn’t, and isn't it unfortunate that the lack of interest in addressing this issue, or even the outright support of this undermining of women’s rights, has ultimately resulted in a man unilaterally stepping in to get the job done?

The women who were speaking out against the injustice were typically dismissed as right-wing populists whose politics failed the feminist litmus test. But right-wing populist women can be feminists striving for equality and freedom, too. Such women consider the corrupt establishment status quo to be the primary existential oppressive force preventing social mobility by protecting “elite” special interests, including through the kind of Orwellian manipulations for which far too many leftist feminists have been keen to serve as handmaidens.

Wouldn’t it be just dandy if our sisters on the left could stop doing unpaid internships for the globalist overlords and their radical agenda? Imagine what we could accomplish if we stopped fighting each other for a hot minute and started fighting the actual final boss battle here.
