If An 8-year-old Girl Can Pose You A Problem You Cannot Solve

 ... then you might want to rethink your basic assumptions.

Dig this pitch-perfect emperor-has-no-clothes moment:

The dad's outrage is all well and good, but to me, the telling thing is that the educated, credentialed people on the school board can't think of a response to the girl saying she doesn't want boys to come into her bathroom and watch her.

On this blog, I like to wave my arms and yell about logical contradictions and so forth. This is a perfect example of what happens when you have them as a basis for your ideology.

Little Girl: I don't want Jimmy to come into my bathroom.

School Board Member: It's OK, Jimmy is a girl.

Little Girl: No he's not, he has a pee-pee.

School Board Member: That doesn't make him a girl. Girls are something different.

Little Girl: What is a girl then?

School Board Member: (Same confused silence you get when you ask these people to define the word, 'woman.')

It just doesn't work. Not at all. If an 8-year-old is running logical rings around you, it might be time to burn your diploma and get a new one from a different institution.
