It&#8217;s also more attention-grabbing than the more humble and pliable &#8220;would not&#8221;. In her article, she is much less tentative and far more direct. \u00a0Perhaps Ms. Onuwaka is concerned about &#8220;offending&#8221; some unforeseen respondent&#8230;. but I digress.<\/p>\n<p>From the article:\u00a0 Former Vice President Joe\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/person\/joe-biden\">Biden<\/a>\u00a0just released The Biden Agenda for Women, his plan for setting today\u2019s American women free from the shackles of the patriarchy. Too bad for Biden that American women are already empowered enough to recognize that his plan is insulting: It relegates women to victim status suggesting we have no agency over our lives and careers and no personal responsibility for our outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Worse, the policies he advances are a mix of rehashed, one-size-fits-all government dictates and taxpayer-funded giveaways that women will recognize as a recipe for a stagnant\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/economy\">economy<\/a>\u00a0and less opportunity and choice.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s campaign is in a tricky spot: He has to hold onto moderate Democrats whose affinity for him is nostalgia for Barack\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/person\/barack-obama\">Obama<\/a>,<em> while also appeasing the far-left**<\/em>. The end result is a mashup of warmed-over Obama-era policies and selections from the Squad\u2019s wishlist.<\/p>\n<p>This is ridiculously out of touch with reality.<\/p>\n<p>If elected, the former vice president would force the Affordable Care Act\u2019s birth control mandate on nuns like the Little Sisters of the Poor, beef up the collection of corporate gender and race data to unfairly target businesses for punishment, and revive the infamous 2011 Dear Colleague letter that stripped accused students of basic due process rights in campus sexual assault investigations.<\/p>\n<p>On the far-left end of the spectrum, Biden would cancel student loan debt for high-income earners, force employers to hand over their employees\u2019 private contact information to unions for harassment purposes, and move to stamp out freelance work.<\/p>\n<p>This is not what women want, but it is what we would get. &#8211; article<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the article is at this link: \u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/joe-bidens-womens-agenda-patrice-onwuka\">https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/joe-bidens-womens-agenda-patrice-onwuka<\/a><\/p>\n<p>**This phrase is important all by itself:\u00a0 <em><strong> while also appeasing the far-left<\/strong>.<\/em> Now, why does that matter so much? Appeasement is supposed to bring in votes, right?\u00a0 Who says the Far Leftists vote?\u00a0 Isn&#8217;t it about time that someone put together some sort of &#8220;census count&#8221; or &#8220;group member&#8221; count of the Far Lefterds who are useless twigs causing all the trouble we&#8217;ve been seeing lately? Haven&#8217;t we come across news items in which someone who escaped one of those riots declared that the Antifas have infiltrated the BLMs and made those &#8220;protests&#8221; more violent and destructive? And it isn&#8217;t just once, either. It seems to be constant now.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know which century Biden is living in. It&#8217;s quite possible that he&#8217;s not really living on this planet.\u00a0I&#8217;m not completely certain that he is even a live hooman bean.<\/p>\n<p>But at this point, after some of the peculiar things he has said and done, I&#8217;m not sure that I even vaguely care. But someone is telling him what to do all the time. That much is obvious. He is completely out of touch with reality, in my view. What happens when\/if he manages to get voted into the White House? And just how long might he last before he had &#8220;a debilitating stroke&#8221; that leaves him unable to do anything except drool on his jammies?<\/p>\n<p>Ask the women you know to read the article, too, and give you some feedback. I know that we had far more choices in the 1960s and 1970s than anything Biden, in his idiocy, has ever heard of. He&#8217;s more and more like something you might find in &#8220;The Twilight Zone&#8221;. This \u201cplan\u201d (if you want to call it that) seems to be aimed at repression, not advancement. It does not offer anything that We Girls do not already have. If he is getting it from his &#8220;handlers&#8221;, I suspect that they will throw him under the bus rather quickly. I may be over-reacting, but right now, that&#8217;s where it seems to be heading.<\/p>\n<p>YMMV.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Skippy for the meme photo up top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo meme sent by Skippy.
