Social language, George Orwell wrote in his essay” Politics and the English Language”,” is designed to make lies sound accurate and murder reputable, and to give an appearance of solidity to natural wind”. That has never been a more accurate description than with the sophistry of today’s Left. Their awoke lexicon takes the political corruption of language to a whole new level of mendacity and windiness. The Left insists, for example, on substituting for euphemisms as” birthing parent” for” mother”,” gender – affirming care” for the medical mutilation of confused, manipulated children,” sexual rights” for infanticide,” against – racism” for anti – white racism,” anti – fascist” for nazi,” undocumented immigrant” for illegal alien,” justice – involved person” for convicted felon, to name a few. For terminology is meticulously crafted to dilute if not pervert the truth, and then given a planned push via all the Left’s media outlets to dominate our social and cultural discourse. Very often, conservatives end up embracing such language instead of constantly pushing back with the truth. Often the Left’s provocative language constitutes nothing less than a whole – frontal assault on reality itself. In the latest example, Breitbart News reports that the black, satanic mill of abortion, Planned Parenthood, has gotten behind an idea that is gaining legitimacy among young people, particularly Generation Z( those born in the late 1990s and early 2000s ). Last Thursday the organization claimed on Twitter that virginity is nothing more than a irrelevant” social construct”. ” The idea of virginity comes from outdated— let’s be real, patriarchal — ways of thinking that hurts everyone”, Planned Parenthood tweeted over a picture of a billboard that stated,” Virginity is a social construct”. Whenever the Left wants to deny a commonly – accepted reality that inconveniences their agenda, they dismiss it as a mere” social construct”, because in our society, which they believe to be built on oppression, exploitation, and bigotry, commonly – accepted realities– e. g., heterosexuality, traditional masculinity, the nuclear family– are in their view complete fictions imposed upon the powerless by the powerful. And if something has been politically constructed, it can and must be deconstructed in order to throw off the enslavement of social conventions and liberate the oppressed in the name of social justice. Hence, in the Left’s view, traditional binary sex roles are mere social constructions that serve the” hetero – normative” patriarchal power structure and that oppress purportedly marginalized groups like the LGBT community ( which of course is anything but marginalized ). And so Planned Parenthood has begun promoting the propaganda that” virginity”– the state or condition of sexual innocence– is an outmoded” concept” that no longer has relevance in our sexually sophisticated ( read: jaded and degraded ) society. This is another of the Left’s attempts to redefine words to push the modern world view that reality is malleable and equivalent. If we deconstruct definitions and unmoor words from the reality they describe, then we can jettison difficult truths and replace them with suitable lies. Let’s unpack, as the latest lingo goes, the idiocy behind PP’s determined assertion. First, virginity is not an” idea”. It is a word that, for at least 700 years in English( the Oxford English Dictionary cites Chaucer as one of the word’s earliest users ), has described a very true state of physical innocence. Everyone knows that a virgin is someone who has never had sexual intercourse( or in a symbolic sense, someone who is new and inexperienced at something ). Secondly, it’s unclear how the term” virginity”” hurts everyone”, as Planned Parenthood put it. In actuality, it merely describes a chaste state and does not harm anyone. Maybe PP refers to the embarrassment of being referred to as a virgin among present, depraved people. That is a depressing commentary on our biologically jaded society because virginity used to be valued rather than something that should be mocked or shed as if it were an embarrassing skin condition. However, since the Sexual Revolution, women have been urged to hasten to abandon innocence and embrace the” liberation” of promiscuity( in reality, though, who has benefited most from the so-called sexual liberation of women)? Hint: no females. This wasn’t the first time Planned Parenthood had argued against virginity. According to Breitbart News, PP previously acknowledged the existence of virginity but for years regarded it as a” concept.” Then, in 2019, PP tweeted, ignoring the fact that men can also be virgins,” Idk ] I don’t know ] who needs to hear this but virginity is a made-up social construct, and it has absolutely nothing to do with your hymen.” A virgin is someone who has never had sex, according to the following tweet in that thread, which acknowledges the definition of virginity but finally subverts it by asserting that different people define the word separately or completely dismiss it as irrelevant. But just as” sex” has different meanings for different people, so does” virginity.” Some people don’t think it matters or care what it means. Whatever you may think, the truth is that you can’t tell if someone has had sex by looking at their hymen. Fact check: For distinct people, virginity does not mean different things. Its significance has never been in question. Everyone has often understood it to mean the absence of physical activity. However, Planned Parenthood and its ideological allies want to deceive credulous youth into thinking that the word means whatever one wants it to mean at any given time or nothing at all, just like every other word the Left reframes. Orwell once more said,” Language can corrupt thought.” Words can be used to confuse and enslave as lies or to liberate and empower as truth. In response to Planned Parenthood’s tweet, cultural media erupted, with Twitter users slamming PP for its assertion that virginity is a pointless fiction in large numbers. ” Groomers ,” one commenter said with precision. ” Either you had sex, or you didn’t.” How does that qualify as a” social construct”? Another user noticed. ” Why in the world would someone be tweeting something like this, or I think they must be losing business?” Yet another person made a comment. Unfortunately, they aren’t losing business outside of states where abortion laws have been put in place, robbing the infanticidal Left of their priceless right to discard newborn children up until the moment of birth, at the very least. Planned Parenthood performed the second-highest number of abortions( 374, 155 ) in its history, according to the organization’s annual report, which was released last April. It also saw record-breakingly high revenue during its 2021 – 2022 fiscal year( the previous year saw the highest number: 383, 460 ) in the history of PP. Because family-annihilating gender ideology is the tip of the Left’s assault on normality— indeed, its war on reality — Planned Parenthood tweeted that message about virginity. Because that is ultimately what this boils down to: the destruction of reality itself and its replacement with democratic language that conforms never to reality but to ideology, rather than just the dismantling of every norm, institution, and tradition in our culture. Because they want to remove every obstacle to a culture that is wholly sexualized, the Left wants to make the word” virginity” meaningless. They want young people to understand that chastity is not simply outdated and pointless, but also that it was created to keep young girls and women trapped by a patriarchal, bourgeois social structure that devalued women and sought to limit their ability to express themselves sexually. If a culture values virginity in both men and women before marriage, how can the Left insist that sexuality is at the core of one’s distinctive private identity? The Left’s political manipulation of language — particularly the language of gender ideology— is a subversive effort to create an unrestricted fantasy universe in which we can indulge our transgressive desires. It says it will turn us into gods. Otherwise, it will enslave us to our individual self-worship. Mark Tapson at Culture Warrior is followed.
Their woke lexicon takes the political corruption of language to a whole new level of mendacity and windiness. Their woke lexicon takes political corruption of language a whole new level. The Left uses carefully chosen terminology to distort or pervert the truth. They then use all their media outlets to push for the Left to dominate our political, cultural and social discourse. Conservatives often embrace such language rather than always pushing back the truth. Last Thursday, the organization claimed on Twitter that virginity is nothing more than a meaningless “social construct.” Planned Parenthood claimed on Twitter last Thursday that virginity was nothing more than a meaningless, “social construct.” “The idea of virginity stems from outdated, let’s face it, patriarchal, ways of thinking which hurt everyone,” Planned Parenthood said over a photo of a billboard stating, “Virginity Is A Social Construct.” When the Left wants deny a If something is socially constructed, then it can be deconstructed to free oppressed groups and throw off the enslavement that social conventions impose. This is yet another attempt by the Left to redefine words in order to push their postmodern worldview that reality is malleable. We can replace inconvenient facts with convenient lies if we deconstruct words and definitions. First, virginity does not refer to an “idea.” The word has been used in English for 700 years (the Oxford English Dictionary lists Chaucer as a user of the term). It describes a real state of sexual innocence. A virgin is someone who’s never had sexual relations (or, in a more metaphorical sense, a person who is new or inexperienced in something). It doesn’t hurt anyone, but it does describe a state of chastity. Maybe PP means people in today’s decadent society are embarrassed to call themselves virgins. This is a sad reflection on our sexually jaded culture, because virginity used to be valued and not something to be mocked. Since the Sexual Revolution women have been encouraged, however, to embrace promiscuity and abandon their innocence. (In truth, who, however, has benefited the most from this so-called sexual liberation for women? Hint: Not women). This wasn’t the first argument Planned Parenthood made that virginity doesn’t exist. Breitbart News reports that PP acknowledged virginity’s existence but considered it a concept for years. In 2019, PP tweeted: “Idk [I do not know] who needs this but virginity has absolutely nothing to with your hymen.” – ignoring that males can also be virgins. The next tweet in the thread acknowledges the definition of virginity, but then subverts the meaning by claiming different people define it differently or dismisses it as meaningless. A virgin is someone who has never had sex. “Sex” is different to everyone, and so is “virginity”. Many don’t really care what it means, or even think it matters. You can’t tell by looking at someone’s hymen if they’ve had sex. Its meaning has never been a matter of confusion. To everyone, it has always meant not having sexual intercourse. Planned Parenthood, and its ideological comrades, want to gaslight young people into believing the word, as with every word that the Left reframes at any given time, means anything or nothing. One commenter correctly responded, “Either you have had sex, or you don’t.” Another user asked, “How is that a social construct?” “Me thinks somebody must be losing money or why would they tweet something like this?” Another commenter added: “They’re not losing money, except in states that have implemented abortion restrictions, denying the infanticidal Left their precious freedom to discard unborn children up to and beyond the moment of birth.” Tragically, they are not losing business. Planned Parenthood’s annual report, released in April, stated that the organization had performed the second highest number of abortions (374,155), and experienced record-high revenues during its fiscal year 2021-2022 (the previous year, PP had performed the most abortions: 383,460). Planned Parenthood sent out the message about virginity, because the Left’s gender ideology, which destroys families, is This is what it comes down to, not just the dismantling and destruction of every institution and tradition in our culture, but also the dismantling and destruction of reality itself. They want young women to believe that chastity is not just passe and meaningless, but also that it is a myth, invented to keep girls and women in the grip of a patriarchal and bourgeois society that devalues women and suppresses their sexual pleasure. How can the Left insist sexuality is the core of a person’s unique identity when a culture values virginity for both men and women before marriage? It promises to make you gods. It will make us slaves of our own worship. Follow Mark Tapson on Culture Warrior
