I’m not sure that even well-intentioned men understand how relentlessly degrading this presidency is for many women. Having a man who does not recognize the humanity of more than half the population in a position of such power is a daily insult; it never really goes away. Perhaps this is why many women found the TV version of The Handmaid’s Tale so resonant, even though Trump, the former owner of a casino strip club, is the last person one can imagine instituting a Calvinist theocracy. Gilead’s fictional dystopia captures our constant incredulous horror at finding ourselves ruled by thuggish, unaccountable woman-haters who appear to revel in their own impunity.
If there is the barest sliver of consolation, it’s that Trump appears almost as miserable and anxiety-ridden as we are. He’s losing the tiny bit of control he had. It’s better for Trump to show us all who he really is than to let his lackeys pretend he’s remotely worthy of his office. Every time he tweets, he reveals his presidency as a disgusting farce. Let’s hope he keeps doing it.
I'm not the most gender-aware person but I quite like this.

The NGO pointed out that the traditional male-female distinction does not serve people whose gender identity or gender expression is not explicitly male or female.

"Good signage gives people confidence that they are doing the right thing," he added.
That's rather disrespectful of Prague. But in general yes, it's all a roundabout and people are not defined by the number of exits they have or the direction they wish to go in.
That's gender neutral, true. The Finns weren't happy with it though

According to Piippo the "WC" abbreviation isn’t necessarily useful, since if people of a different gender are seen leaving a bathroom, the person waiting in line may be uncertain about whom it is meant for.
I'll tell them that a woman ran against this monstrous man and what Chuck Todd did was criticize that woman for being "over-prepared" https://t.co/m0k0VFbHqN
A burn this savage might actually have left a mark on someone less oblivious than Todd, but I suspect he is entirely impervious to anything that requires an ounce of self-reflection, so it probably sailed straight over his head. Incidentally, the problem in his case is the same as it is in the president*’s: he is not in a position where he will ever face any consequences for his failures.
