Dylan Mulvaney, the trans-identifying social-media influencer, is at it again.

After nearly single-handedly decimating Bud Light sales, Mulvaney traveled to the U.K. to be honored by Attitude magazine — which I admit I had never heard of — as its “Woman of the Year.”
“Some see me as woman of the year,” Mulvaney said in his acceptance speech. “And some people don’t see me as a woman at all. No matter how hard I try, or what I wear, or what I say, or what surgeries I get, I will never reach an acceptable version of womanhood by those hateful people’s standards.”
Correct. Only we’re not hateful — just in touch with reality.
Clearly, Mulvaney is a troubled young man. Still, whether wittingly or not, he’s advancing a sinister and misogynistic ideology. The level of criticism he receives is in proportion to the level of attention he seeks.
Remember when we used to tell young girls that they should not seek to define themselves by others’ approval, nor by their wardrobes, and certainly not by what cosmetic surgeries they get? Remember when we tried to offer them female role models with intelligence, talent, and character who do more than satisfy a superficial obsession with appearances celebrated by pop culture?
Well, the Mulvaney method tells young women not only that appearances matter most but that — even in that realm — it’s men who make the best women. How’s that for female empowerment?
This reminds me of “double speak” from Orwell’s “1984”. Or, “the pot calling the kettle black”. Ms Guzman can’t see that she is herself blinded by misogyny, because it is wrong to want to be feminine, especially for someone AMAB, because women are weaker and lesser than women. My femininity is an expression of female empowerment. I have been a feminist my whole life and I reject the attitude expressed by Ms Guzman. Has she even seen Dylan’s posts? My daughter turned me on to them (not the controversy), because Dylan is so darned cute in the way she celebrates her life! Lisa P
ReplyDeleteWhen the big ruckus arose over Bud Light I told my wife and others that I wished she would have hugged an assault rifle instead of a beer can. I would have loved to see all those haters give up their weapons.
