SCENE: Mitch BERG sees a flatbed cargo bike, with a parka-clad rider, bogged down in a snowdrift. He pulls his car over to help…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

…only to see that the driver is Avery LIBRELLE<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LIBRELLE: Merg!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BERG: Uh, hey, Avery. Looks like you’re stuck…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LIBRELLE: Don’t change the subject. Elizabeth Warren, like Kamala Harris before her, is falling in the polls because of sexism!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BERG: Sexism among Democrat primary voters?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LIBRELLE: Stop deflecting! She’s being targeted because white cis-males can’t stand an angry woman!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BERG: Huh. So even as the guardians of White Liberal Progressive culture tell us<\/a> that “female rage” is a positive virtue<\/a>, something to be celebrated<\/a> on pain of social ostracism<\/a>, you’d have me believe that Fauxcahontas, seeking the support of the people that support this view, is suffering from a patriarchal disdain for female rage? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LIBRELLE: Hey! You called her Fauxcahontas! Show some respect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BERG: Warren has admitted she lied about the whole thing<\/a>, and I have no respect for her whatsoever. So – either Warren is just a terrible candidate, or it’s the Democrat voters who can’t deal with “female rage”. (BERG gives a mighty push and dislodges the cargo bike<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LIBRELLE: (Pedaling merrily away<\/em>) Clearly you’re a misogynist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BERG: (Yelling after h…er, hi…er, LIBRELLE without any especial gusto<\/em>) Clearly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(BERG resumes trudging up the street<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
