About 15 years ago, my baby girl and I went to Mass in the Washington, D. C., place at one of the oldest temples in the country. There wasn’t a scream room or windows in the vestibule where the Mass may be observed apart from the congregation. I tried to make sure I could make a fast getaway if my whispering babe-in-arms started crying while I was standing just inside the church.
My child made the typical baby sounds, none of them quiet, but the kind that happy babies make. As Mass progressed, I noticed a lady standing right away behind us. Therefore, when the lecture started, this lady, wild-eyed and with her coat swinging for dramatic impact, rushed past me, barking in her best voice,” I didn’t think you would provide a child to church”! and stomped out.
I felt sad, but it was also obvious this was a damaged woman with serious issues. I was as unnerved as any mother would be. After having fellowship, I turned around to the back of the church where I had been standing and realized it was right in front of a statue of St. Anthony holding the baby Jesus. ” How able he take a child to chapel”? was the idea that made me smile.
Crazed women, like this lady at Mass, have been having a second — like a 50-year time. Most of us have gotten so used to their strong feelings that we think this is just how people are: very dangerous, usually harmful, cruel, and measuring. If someone does everything a person doesn’t like, she throws a tantrum, significantly like a baby, to find her way. Like the placated newborn, the cycle continues. Some women of the favored political stripes actually experience real pushback, as this cycle is most evident in power corridors like Washington, D.C., where social authority and lapdog journalists collide. Genuine arguments and argument have always been replaced by anger and tears.
Some men or women have the guts to let the tantrum go, give the troubled woman a strong Low, or better still, tell her it’s time to stop using her childish tactics and start a real argument, without causing her to cry or be terrified. Not only did these bouts benefit irate people by offering them what they want, but they also know that everyone else is afraid of them. A person may alert those around her with a search, a raised eyebrow, or a brusque turn on the foot, putting people on notice.
That is, until today.
Like a glimmer of light at sunrise or a violin’s first information in a music, at long last, the aged techniques are being neutralized. The once-powerful screaming heads of Karens — and now , Margarets— can no longer control the exact result. Men have ultimately come to the realization that they have had enough and are no longer taking it.
The validation trials for a number of President Trump’s case takes have provided proof that the age of screaming girls is coming to an end. Viral memes show girl after girl in politics and the media trying to move out the weary, 50-year-old negativity,  , and instead of taking the fish, or looking like a , wild in the headlights,  , men are riding through it unmoved or actually using it to score points of their own.  ,  ,
Both , Sens. Pete Hegseth was accused of making offensive and disparaging remarks by Kirsten Gillibrand and Elizabeth Warren in his confirmation hearing as secretary of defense. You will have to alter how you view women in order to perform this job, she continued,” I don’t know if you can do that.” Warren picked up the same thread, cutting off the nominee’s response about lowered standards for women with,  ,” Mr. Hegseth, let’s just stop! Let’s just stop! Let’s just stop right there”! She sounded like a higher-octane version of Kamala Harris'” I’m speaking” schtick from the 2020 vice-presidential , debate — that is, until Hegseth eventually made Warren look like a fool with a calm, cool, and collected correction about not being a general.
J. D. Vance also deftly handled his first interview as vice president on CBS’s” Face the Nation” with Margaret Brennan. Vance repeatedly disarmed Brennan, but left a lasting impression when she suggested that an allegedly properly vetted Afghan who planned a terrorist attack might have been radicalized after he arrived in the United States. I don’t want that person in my country, and I think most Americans agree with me”.
My favorite, however, is the security guard at the Department of Education, now nicknamed Captain Doge, who stood unbothered as a screeching bunch of congresswomen and men demanded to be let into the building.
The female drama is no longer just a malevolent force in politics. Young men are choosing a different kind of woman for their future after having enough of their boomer grandmothers ‘ behavior. They aren’t voting like their feminist-beaten or cowed fathers and are rejecting the culturally confected shame of” toxic masculinity”. They want to be men, not Pajama Boy.
The removal of the USAID slush fund for left-wing media will have a snowball effect, as left-wing media journalists who are able to keep their jobs realize they can no longer just cheerleading for their favorite ( and lucrative ) Democrat causes but must also conduct extensive research into the public figures they have supported for decades.
How did we get to this point anyway, where it seems as though a woman’s behavior is the most natural thing? It all began in the 1960s when women were informed that they were victims and that status meant they could not do anything wrong. Slogans like “believe all women”,” the future is female”, and “hear me roar” became rallying cries. It is powerful to be informed that you are a victim who deserves special status as well as that what you believe is unimpeachable. Women moved forward confidently in a politically manufactured sense of self-righteousness.
With the proliferating of women’s marches to make sure people were listening, personal rage poured out into the public square. Women’s anger was emblazoned on crude signs and vulgar hats, with shirts optional. ( I once got stuck in my car in the 1990s, surrounded by a crowd of irate and irate women marching in Portland, Oregon. ) These marches sent a message of virtue to Western women everywhere that this is how you can become a childish vulgar tyrant.
We’ve been encouraging women and girls to be the most vicious and immature forms of women for 50 years. It seems that now, however, women are also waking up to the reality that maybe there isn’t anything wrong with a woman who is lovely, warm, kind, and competent, who can have a discussion without throwing a fit or an inanimate object, who wants to love her children, respect her husband, and worship God, and who is mature, thoughtful, elegant, and fair, no matter what her education level, income, or even political leanings. These are the kind of women who can start filling in the expanding-by-the-minute gap left by the screeching elites.
Unfortunately for shrieking women, but fortunately for the rest of us, the entire world is now realizing that their influence over our culture is waning. Some invisible switch has been flipped, and the , hoi polloi , are no longer under their thumb. Truly, America is being unburdened by what has been.
