Apologies if this has been shared already. I haven’t watched Fox or Tucker Carlson before - I know they are biased obviously - but he did seem to grasp the wider problem of the ideology in terms of making people lie and affecting how you think being dangerous etc.

Yes it's a gotcha question.

Because they can't answer it without revealing the illogical absurdity of their position.
And not answering it reveals the illogical absurdity of their position.

Tucker Carlson is a racist.
Tucker Carlson hates women.
Tucker Carlson is transphobic.

See the problem? All easy slurs, except one of them can now also be applied to you.

I often what Glen Loury's podcasts with John McWhorter, and he was talking a bit in one about going for an interview with Carleton. JM was a little skeptical of the whole idea and for that matter I think GL was unsure how it would go as well.

Interestingly he said it was a good interview, TC asked good questions, allowed him lots of time to say what he wanted to say, and brought out the issues that were were significant.

I'm not sure there is much use in talking about interviewers like this "using" people like PP or GL. It is one thing to take someone, twist their words, use what they say dishonestly. That's quite different than someone allowing them to say what they mean in a full and complete way.

I like Tucker Carlson.
I don't get all the hatred for the right of politics. It's the left who are throwing women under the bus with their performative virtual signaling. It is alt right channels, newspapers and blogs that have helped make this a mainstream conversation. If you were waiting in the left, you'd be seeing tumbleweeds blowing in the wind.

The question asked of Judge Brown Jackson was a complete "gotcha" question that had nothing to do with her fitness for the position.

As a woman and a black woman I think ANY woman going for SCOTUS judge who cannot define what a woman is shouldn't be in that position.

That goes for either end of the political spectrum both here and abroad. If you are a woman in politics and are willing to deny your own sex based reality then you cannot represent me. Please step down/away/depart.

The trial for SCOTUS judge is always brutal. If it's a Republican candidate you can be sure the Democrat senators will try to pin them to the wall with race inclusion, Roe vs Wade, healthcare etc and make them squirm as much as possible. I believe Amy Coney Barrett was asked some quite nasty questions about race in regards to her adopted children.

I'm not sure if ever stops the candidate becoming Scotus judge regardless. I'm puzzled by all the effort considering they seem to get voted in with a majority anyway. Perhaps Americans can shed light on it.

I think if someone who works with law cannot define a very simple term like 'woman', then they are not fit for the job. It is not the job of a solicitor or barrister to be popular, it is their job to keep the letter of the law. If they are flummoxed when defining woman, then what does that make of laws regarding 'women'? Are they also meaningless?

I appreciate your passion, and your desire to only interact with people with integrity.

The problem is that the reason "what is a woman?" is a gotcha is that loads of people agreed to pretend to believe an obvious lie to avoid being unkind.

It's led to a situation where people either continue to repeat the lie and look idiotic or they speak the truth and get accused of being a bigot.

The lack of integrity that got us into this situation is still being promoted by supposedly progressive left-wingers.

You need to aim some of your rage at them.

@Pallisers

Tucker Carlson is a racist piece of shit and his - and the republicans - jumping on the bandwagon of gender criticism has absolutely nothing to do with respect for women or concern about women's rights. They hate women. The question asked of Judge Brown Jackson was a complete "gotcha" question that had nothing to do with her fitness for the position. The senate hearing was obscenely racist. And nothing could persuade me to click on a Fox News link - nothing Tucker Carlson says is worth a watch. He is an offence to humanity and no friend of women.
This. Which does not detract from the fact I 100% agree with Posie Parker. We are being used and screwed over by men on all sides.

Carlson's opening monologue from the previous evening, on Ketanji Brown Jackson not defining what a woman is, is also worth a watch:

She’s indomitable!

Glad she’s getting the message out there.
