Yet the termination of a balding greying male anchor due to age and appearance doesn't rate a mention

Certainly not. White men have so much privilege!

What fun it is watching the feminist squirm when one of their own is skewered by higher intersectionality goals. Wonderful piece from Janice, yet again.

Lol, I was just thinking that with the follow up case of Sachedina. Reminded me of that Woody Allen movie where his band of thugs hold up a bank, with their guns raised, and ten seconds later another band of bank robbers show up. Then they start arguing over who should be robbing the bank that day.

I suppose this must presage a trend in which, any fired employee can only be replaced by another person who scores higher on the social justice oppression scale. So, when it's time for Sachedina to go, he'll have to be replaced by, say, a black female who's conspicuously lesbian or, better yet, trans. The next will certainly have to be native American and disabled. At some point they'll need someone who's illiterate. Etc.

Indeed.

Robert, It will eventually get to the point where every employee at every workplace will be a gay queen nonbinary furry otherkin alter-abled system whose life mission is to normalize mental health struggles.

It would seem that only the slightest trigger is needed to create a mass hysteria. Janice recently you said that once people are convinced that they are part of the oppressed class, this then becomes justification for the rage

I think it's true. The sense of righteous outrage and justified resentment are an extremely destabilizing combination.

Wow, Janice, I understand why Lisa herself would be upset losing such a nice job, but the number of other people who managed to find a slice of the victimhood to scoop up for themselves/their causes, is remarkable.

I didn't realize, looking at her photo, that Lisa LaFlamme is grey. I thought she looked platinum blond. The tediousness of the feminist issue-manufacturing process is exhausting to behold! How they have the energy to just keep poking at the same bit of nothing as if the fate of the universe were hanging in the balance would be impressive if it served any useful purpose.

No one writing about the news has a sharper eye or more delicate hand at analysis than Janice. A pleasure to read your work, as always.

Didn't the governor of Arizona Keri Lake, experience the same thing? She made the best of it.

I didn't hear about that (probably because it didn't become an international cause celebre!). Thanks

I am new to this sub stack. Is there any way I can contact Janice regarding audio podcasts of her Fiamengo File?

Apologies if this is inappropriate.
