Guys, tie the kangaroo down.
Via The Spectator:
December is most known as the month of Christmas, the closing off of the calendar year and in Australia the beginning of the summer holidays. But now the month has also been infected by leftist gender social reengineers who are always looking for a new way to promote the concept of gender fluidly, especially to children.
In 2014 a group called Play Unlimited founded No Gender December with the aim to end what they call ‘gender-stereotyped toys’. They believe that with correct parental conditioning you can actually defy biological reality and scientific studies and make boys like girl’s toys and girls like boy toys. Last year they were successful in lobbying major Australian retailers Big W and Target to end having gendered toy categories in their stores.[…]
This year, however, the campaign in Australia appears to have lost steam, mainly because its most fierce public advocate former Greens senator Larissa Waters was found ineligible to sit in parliament by the High Court. She claimed No Gender December was important because gendered toys ‘feed into very serious problems such as domestic violence and the gender pay gap’.
However, there are plenty of other gender-neutral activists willing to pick up where Waters left off. In Victoria, there was recently a conference between Victorian sport leaders, professional clubs, sport governing bodies and government partners that emerged with a key recommendation that sporting codes “employ gender-neutral language across the sporting sector’’. This includes adopting terms such as “ruckperson” and “batspeople”.
Apparently, this will help to reduce violence against women. Not surprisingly this push comes as a result of research conducted by Swinburne University and Latrobe University which was the home of the Safe Schools program and its Marxist founder Roz Ward. Add to that this project was commissioned by the Andrews Government’s Office of Prevention and Women’s Equality.
