So… does this mean men who think they’re women will earn less—but are more likely to be hired—will “have to work twice as hard to gain recognition” as normal men??

It’s whatever is most confusing for everyone else.

A grieving father has the right to react however he likes... but the larger culture is going to have to get MEANER, frankly. People in previous generations were far less forgiving. They were comfortable calling bullshit when it came to excuses and victim narratives, and they were content to punish actions harshly, regardless of mitigating factors.

Social harmony demands this, especially when the society contains disorderly and antisocial elements.

I honestly site the roots of this pathological empathy growing from women, and feminized institutions. For whatever reason, women (as a whole) seem to struggle with the concepts of discipline and punishment, preferring care and kindness. If women can't embrace the benefits of harsh penalty (or stand up to those who do) then they shouldn't run our institutions.

Note: I KNOW many women are sensible and grounded... but how many of them are powerful women, in policy-related professional fields? Nearly every woman that I know in that situation has some story about self-censorship, for fear of offending the feminine hive mind. This simply will not do.

This is the heartbreaking story of the victimized, thoroughly marginalized, oppressed "two parent" family, the Anthonys, and their highly principled, impulse controlled son, Karmelo, who brought his knife to the track meet because he wanted to help put the tents up using what he'd just learned in the Eagle Scouts. We say his name, Austin Metcalf, Rest in Peace. May the actual truth be told as it is on this show.
