Dennis Prager has figured out a way to blame women for everything wrong with America, including drag queens

Dennis Prager — the right-wing radio blabber who named an entire fake university after himself — has finally figured out how to blame women for nearly everything he dislikes about the world today. In his latest column for the Daily Signal, Prager explains why he thinks “Women Are Disproportionately Hurting Our Country” by being so darn womanish all the time.

Prager admits that the male of the species has an aggressive, predatory nature, and that because of this we as a society need to do our best to “rais[e] boys to control their natures” and keep them from causing chaos in the world.

But what of the females who are allegedly destroying our country? Prager gets to them next.

I have come to realize that while society was right about males, it was wrong about females. Whether spoken or unspoken, most people thought that girls just didn’t need to be raised to control their natures nearly as much as boys did.

But they do. 

So what is it in “female nature” that needs to be tamped down? Their emotions, Prager says, which can “overwhelm their conscience and their ability to think and act rationally.” And because we don’t control female emotions better, Prager concludes, “women are disproportionately active in doing damage to our society.”

How, exactly? Well, for one thing, they are straight up ruining education with their “progressive” agenda. And drag queens.

The most obvious example is education. American schools teach less and indoctrinate more than ever before. Big-city public (and most private) schools are damaging young Americans to an extent and in ways no one imagined just a few years ago. Young children are prematurely sexualized—they are, for example, exposed to “Drag Queen Story Hour” in class and in local libraries from the age of 5. These feature a man dressed as a woman reading and dancing for them.

I don’t think dancing is usually part of the program, but even if it were, how exactly is seeing a dude in drag dancing going to ruin anyone’s life? (Maybe if the dancing is really really bad?)

Even assuming that drag queens are destroying the lives of small children by being so draggy, how is this the fault of women and/or their emotions? After all, drag queens are dudes. Well, that may be true but, Prager argues, it’s women who invite them inside the libraries and schools like so many hungry Draculas.

[W]ho is facilitating all of this? In virtually every case, a woman. Ninety-two percent of kindergarten teachers are women, 75% of all teachers are women and 85% of librarians are women.

Damn those women and their drag-queen-loving emotions!

Also, these teacher ladies hate America, and hate I guess is an emotion.

[T]hey are teaching young people to despise their country (the creator of the poisonous “1619 Project” is a woman), to feel guilty about their “white privilege” or to think of themselves as victims if they are black. Even worse, they are indoctrinating them in “nonbinary” thinking regarding sex and gender. …

These ideas originated in university gender studies and women’s studies departments, nearly all of whose professors are female.

Curse these women and their blasted emotions! The emotions that caused them in a fit of emotion to start women’s studies departments, the most emotional of all the departments.

Also, teacher’s unions suck.

Teachers and their unions did great damage to young people during COVID-19. They demanded—because of their hypochondria and an apparent inability to apply reason to COVID-19 risk—that schools be closed for nearly two years.

Dude, don’t even get me started on everything that’s so desperately wrong with your take on COVID; that might make me a little emotional myself.

Prager also has strong emotions about the Democrats. Wait, not strong emotions. That’s what girls have. He has strong logics about the Democrats.

In general, teachers unions are just radical arms of the Democratic Party and the progressive movement. They are overwhelmingly composed of women members and women leaders. The head of the National Education Association is a woman, as are the heads of the Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City teachers unions.

Then Prager circles back to that whole transgender thing.

Women physicians and health care workers are at the vanguard of ruining young people’s lives at children’s hospitals that push giving young people puberty-blocking hormones and opposite-gender hormones, performing hysterectomies and mastectomies on healthy girls who say they are boys, and chemically or physically castrating healthy boys who say they are girls.

Huh. Most of this is just plain untrue; no one is doing gender affirming surgery on anyone younger than 18. Also, Boston Children’s Hospital is facing endless harassment and even a bomb threat because of idiots like Prager spreading this sort of propaganda. .

Women are at the vanguard of perverting the medical profession by advocating the teaching of woke ideologies in medical schools, placing these ideologies on an equal footing with medical education.

Citation needed, Mr. Logic.

Actually, we could use citations for all of your alleged facts in this little essay.

Prager also has strong feelings sorry strong logics about a group of physicians — mostly ladies — who last week cautioned journalists to think twice before platforming anti-abortion activists actively promoting falsehoods about abortion.

Lurching onward from topic to topic, Prager also lays into the ladies for being

at the vanguard of pushing Christianity and Judaism to the left, leaving mainstream churches and synagogues increasingly empty. Of course, the increasingly feminized male clergy go along with their female colleagues.

Did he just call clergymen a bunch of f*ggots?

And women are disproportionately supportive of cancel culture, the greatest threat to free speech in American history.

Prager ends his rambling rant — which at no point proves that any of the alleged bad things done by women have any connection to their supposedly uncontrolled emotions — by admitting that some women aren’t evil and some men are. But, he declares, for

those who associate women with instinctively protecting children or with being supportive of a traditionally religious life, this era in American history has provided something of a shock.

That’s really not much of a kicker. But then again there’s not much to Prager’s essay beyond a bunch of assertions that don’t actually relate to his thesis about so-called “female emotions.” The one clear emotion I see in this essay is Prager’s terror of drag queens, which he seems to fear the way some people fear clowns. So let’s just move on from Prager’s little rant with this rebuttal from an actual drag queen:

QED, Prager is defeated.
