Fracetelle,
Do you think it good that the myopic, feminist author only teaches children she considers to be girls and excludes those she considers to be boys.

She defines someone as being a woman if they have a “loose head covering”, wears “makeup” and has “manicured fingernails”.

So I wonder how this feminist teacher defines girls and boys?

vanna, I'm still trying to work out what you hope to achieve here. Do you enjoy the conflict? Do you expect Fratelle and others to take you seriously, to reconsider their own views or to bother with reasoned responses while you use the posting style you are using. I think that you are capable of far better so why go at it this way?

Do you have a serious question about gender ( or the authors treatment of it) you think should be raised? If so please put it in terms that can be answered.

Robert,
Well the situation is “There is no scientific way of defining who is male and who is female”.

Throughout the history of the Olympic games, they’ve tried interviews, inspections, urine tests, hormone tests and then DNA tests. None of that produced a definitive answer regards who is male and who is female, and since the 2000 Olympics, they have given up trying to scientifically determine who is male and who is female.

However, the whole of feminism is based on defining someone as being male or female, but there is absolutely no science attached to feminism at all.

Feminism is totally subjective, and in the case of the feminist author, someone is defined as being a woman according to their dress, makeup and state of their fingernails.

Maybe the author should get a real job. The author is just another bigoted feminist in the education system.
