Revolt of the insane.
At least at this point, the woke tide seems to have crested, and in many areas, sanity is returning to America. Cancel culture has lost its teeth, and many ascribe Trump’s reelection to general disgust with the glorification of madness and perversion, the destruction of women’s sports, and the endless pandering to minuscule sub-minorities who wielded influence far out of proportion to their actual numbers. But the tide turning does not at all mean that woke insanity has disappeared; it is still very much with us, as a roiling controversy at Mark Zuckerberg’s social media giant Meta demonstrates.
Zuckerberg has recently taken a turn toward rationality, renouncing his former embrace of leftist authoritarianism and censorship of dissenting voices and rolling back the silencing of dissidents on Facebook. The New York Post reported recently that several weeks ago, Zuckerberg “overhauled a variety of Meta’s internal and external policies, ranging from lifting restrictions on speech to ‘restore free expression’ across his platforms to changing its ‘Hateful Conduct’ policy to allow criticism of gender identity.” That’s all to the good, but when Zuckerberg attempted to swing the pendulum back even farther toward common sense, he ran into an angry gaggle of Meta employees who would much rather cling to their delusions, thankyouverymuch.
The Post noted that “after Meta removed tampons from men’s bathrooms in company office buildings earlier this month, some employees started coordinating ‘quiet rebellions’ by bringing in their own.” Oh, for Pete’s sake. The lunacy, it burns. From this “quiet rebellion” at Meta, we learn not only that staffing the place is a significant number of women who think they’re men, but that these women are so determined to cling to these fantasies that they believe that a quiet and reasonable move to nudge them back to reality is some kind of oppressive measure that they must righteously resist.
The New York Times has reported that these courageous freedom fighters decided that the missing tampons constituted a hill on which they were willing to die: in order to “protest Mr. Zuckerberg’s actions, some Meta workers soon brought their own tampons, pads, and liners to the men’s bathrooms, five people with knowledge of the effort said. A group of employees also circulated a petition to save the tampons.” Yes, “save the tampons.” It does have quite the ring of “save the whales,” but the advocates of this case feel just as righteous as the whale-savers. Women must be able to pretend they’re men and get sanitary napkins in men’s rooms, or white supremacy wins, you see. --->READ MORE HERE
The New York Times reported that the women's sanitary products were 'emblematic of the quiet rebellions' among Silicon Valley tech workers
After Meta removed tampons from men’s bathrooms in company office buildings earlier this month, some employees started coordinating "quiet rebellions" by bringing in their own, according to a new report.
In early January, CEO Mark Zuckerberg overhauled a variety of Meta’s internal and external policies, ranging from lifting restrictions on speech to "restore free expression" across his platforms to changing its "Hateful Conduct" policy to allow criticism of gender identity.
One internal move that irked woke Meta employees was the removal of women’s sanitary products from men’s bathrooms, which the company had previously provided for nonbinary and transgender employees.
According to The New York Times on Wednesday, "To protest Mr. Zuckerberg’s actions, some Meta workers soon brought their own tampons, pads and liners to the men’s bathrooms, five people with knowledge of the effort said. A group of employees also circulated a petition to save the tampons."
The vice president of workplace services reportedly emailed the petition signatories directly, suggesting that while it had "not been the intention of Meta leadership to make employees feel unwelcome or excluded in our offices, at this point we do not have plans to revisit our on-site amenities offerings." The email, however, did promise to "share your feedback with leadership." --->READ MORE HERE
