Not too long ago, the First Partner of California, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, scolded reporters because they questioned Gov. Gavin Newsom on things unrelated to funding Planned Parenthood. They likely did this because there are far more important things going on in the State than giving more funds to “choices.” It turns out, however, the reason she felt so passionate about this was not about genuine “values” regarding women’s “rights” and their “choices,” but may have something to do with ranking “in up to $300,000 annually through her nonprofit, The Representation Project, and for-profit outfit Girls Club Entertainment.”
According to the organization’s website, “No matter who you are or where you live, intersectional gender stereotypes are hurting you and those you love. Through film, education, and activism, The Representation Project awakens consciousness, spotlights the cost of these stereotypes, and invites everyone to build a more equitable future.”
I hardly doubt this organization has awoken “consciousness,” but that is neither here nor there. Nonetheless, bashing masculinity, spreading lies about a gender pay gap that does not exist, and promoting abortion do not boost academic excellence.
