FB and Silicon Valley vs. Privacy

The NYT has a great piece on privacy and social networks/phone manufacturers.  I've been thinking a lot about this, but I'm not sure which way to go.  There don't seem to be very good replacements for social media apps.  Blogging was clearly a better way to disseminate and discuss information than FB.  However, part of its usefulness was that people actually used it.  Will people return if they abandon FB.  I'm doubtful, but I honestly think something has to change.  The manipulation of people through artificial newsfeed sorting and the blacklisting of "fake news" stories which are actually true (e.g., the suppression of Live Action undercover videos of PP employees discussing the sale of baby body parts) is also very problematic on social media sites run by far left silicon valley liberals.

When You Ignore Biological Differences, Women and Children Lose

Two biological males placed first and second in the Connecticut state open track meet 100 meter dash running as girls (and setting a meet record). At what point do we admit as a society that it is freaking crazy to allow them to compete? Bone structure matters. Going through puberty as a male matters. Science and biology matter, and frankly the feelings of the biological girls who can never win no matter how much they train matter, too. The arrogance of our media and political elites who have decided that science, biology and the feelings of biological females don't matter in transgender issues can really rub average folks the wrong way. It is emblematic of their arrogance in so many other areas.

The misogyny present in modern day liberalism frightens me, to be honest. A year ago I was writing about how James Damore's acknowledgement of gender differences in how men and women prioritize and balance work/family life was viewed as a "weakness" for women by liberals. Today, we are told that it is fair for men to compete with women in events like the 100 meter dash, so apparently we aren't allowed to acknowledge that women really are physically weaker than men and that biology plays a role in that.  This is exactly backwards.  Yes, women are physically weaker than men.  However, condemning people as weak for choosing family life over work is really messed up, and a moral judgment with no basis in science, but it's OK for the mainstream press to say that.
