Covid 19 knows nothing about equality. The people most at risk are the elderly, especially where groups of
them are stuck together in care homes. The least at risk are probably children.
People living in sparsely populated countries like New Zealand are less at risk
because their natural state is to be socially distant. Even within Britain you
are probably safer living on a croft in Wester Ross than in a big city like
London or Glasgow. It also turns out that there is a far greater chance of
dying if you are a man.

Shall we have jokes about Man Covid 19 now?

Feminists have been telling us for years that men and
women are completely equal, but no matter how much they tell Nature, she he it
or ze disagrees. Women and men do not respond equally to disease. This is one
of the reasons why women on average live longer than men. Women have two X
chromosomes while men have an X and a Y. It is this that makes it easier for
women to fight off illness because the X Chromosome contains strands of microRNA
that have an important role in battling viruses and other forms of illness
including cancer. Having two Xs is
therefore advantageous.
There may well be evolutionary reasons for this. While
men’s role in fathering children can take seconds, mothers need to spend 9
months incubating and giving birth and then years looking after the child. If
the father died, the child still had a good chance of growing up, if the woman
died, the child would most likely die too.
The feminist argument about inequality must therefore
be seen not merely in terms of women being treated unfairly by society, but
also in terms of men being treated unfairly by genetics. Some women may not
reach the top of their profession because of sexism, but some men die much
earlier from illness or other causes simply because they are men. Which would
you rather be less successful or dead?
The thing that makes one person a man and another
person a woman is the difference in our chromosomes. It is this that causes one
to be able to be a father and the other to be able to become a mother. There
may be advantages in having an X and Y, but there are also disadvantages. But
anyway, we could not have humanity at all if there were not these differences.
The immunological disadvantage that affects men is not
something they can choose. If a man proclaims that he is a woman, he will still
have exactly the same chromosomes as he did before his proclamation. Even if he
underwent surgery removing some parts of his body and adding other parts, his
chromosomes would be unchanged. He would not gain the immunological advantages
of a woman, for the simple reason that he could give birth to children and so
the evolutionary advantage of childbearing would not be given him.
The Pre-Covidian world of gender transition and
supposedly being able to choose whether one is a man or woman has been made
obsolete when we live in a Post-Covidian world where what matters is infection
and the immunity that is determined by the chromosomes we are born with.
To be a woman with all of the advantages and
disadvantages that go with it is inexorably tied up with being a mother. Being
a woman is a matter of chromosomes that cause the bodies of girls to become the
bodies of potential mothers. It is no more a choice than choosing to be more or
less vulnerable to infection with Covid 19.
The same biology that causes the nurse to say you have
a baby girl, causes her to grow up to have children be in most respects less
strong than her husband, but better able to fight off a killer virus. None of
this involves a choice.
To be a man with all its advantages and disadvantages
is to be someone who can father children. It is for this reason that men are
more vulnerable to infection. They are more vulnerable so that there can be
life.
When understood properly men and women are
fundamentally different, but complimentary. We have different abilities, strengths
and weaknesses. It is for this reason that we are drawn to each other in order
to work better as a marital team.
Nature is right now reminding us that being a man and
a woman is something objective. It is
not something you can choose, and it is not something you can change.
In a world where we rely on science to keep us safe
from infection it is worth realising the claims of transgender theorists are
impossible to prove scientifically. No experiment could possibly disprove my
statement that men cannot become women.
The idea that someone can be biologically male while also
being a woman is to suppose that it is not biology that makes someone a woman,
but rather a choice. It is to suppose that chromosomes are objective, but gender
identity is subjective. But where is the scientific evidence for this unlikely
claim? What experiment shows that human beings alone in nature can choose to be
men and women while bulls and cows have no choice at all?
For too long Pre-Covidian Academia has led humanity
along a false path first when feminism asserted that women can do everything as
well as men and men can do everything as well a women. In ignoring the
essential and fundamental differences between men and women feminism made both sexes
unhappy because it made us fight against each other (the battle of the sexes)
rather than work together.
Worse still in the next stage of the battle
transgender theorists have attempted to eradicate the distinction between men
and women so that it is no longer possible objectively to state what a woman and
a man is. Those feminists who complain about this forget that it is they who
began the idea that men and women are not different.
The idea that a man could choose to be a woman would
not have occurred to a previous age that struggled to feed and clothe itself.
It came from the decadence of too much abundance, too much money and too much
time to waste on making distinctions that are without difference such as the one
that supposedly exists between sex and gender.
Now men and women, girls and boys are fighting a
common invisible enemy and we need medicine to focus on keeping us all alive
rather than trying to change us into something that we are not and can never
become.
