How dare Trump bully the Democrat Cherokee Clambake Queen with a DNA test?

Feminist men abuse women, trans men abuse lesbians, barbers forced to give trans buzzcuts.

All the way with DNA! Time, Associated Press, July 6:

(President Trump) referred to Senator Elizabeth Warren (a potential 2020 Democrat presidential candidate) as “Pocahontas” to ridicule her claims of Native American ancestry. … (Trump said he would say to her): “I’ll give you a million dollars for your favourite charity, paid for by Trump, if you take (a DNA) test and it shows you’re an Indian.”

Bully! Sarah Hallam, CNN, July 9:

Warren fired back at … Trump for trying to “bully her to shut her up” … (calling it) an attempt to “bully women all across the country”.

Genetic McCarthyism! James Walsh, The Daily Beast, July 7:

The President is … setting a dangerous precedent … (of) “genetic McCarthyism”.

Or cultural appropriation? Editorial, Boston Herald, July 9:

The President … does have a point. The story (was) broken … in 2012 … In progressive circles, “cultural appropriation” is now well-established in the canon as a high crime … If Liz Warren is a white woman who ­hijacked the experiences of the ­Cherokee for personal gain — and she is very wealthy and powerful — that would be naked exploitation of a minority group.

Fauxcahontas dances with crabs. Mark Steyn, Steyn Online, July 6:

How does (Elizabeth Warren) know she’s a Cherokee maiden? … her grandfather’s “high cheekbones” and … her family “lore”. Which was evidently good enough for Harvard Lore School … (which) “hired its first woman of colour, Elizabeth Warren, in 1995”. To the casual observer, Mrs Warren … (is) the whitest white since Frosty the Snowman fell in a vat of Wite-Out. But … in 1984 she submitted … her favourite dishes to the Pow Wow Chow cookbook, a “compilation of recipes passed down through the Five Tribes families” … (including) a crab dish … Mrs Warren’s fictional Cherokee ancestors in Oklahoma were renowned for their ability to spear the fast-moving Oklahoma crab … but then the white man came and now the Oklahoma crab is ­extinct, and at the Cherokee clambakes they have to make do with Mrs Warren’s traditional Five Tribes ­recipe for Cherokee Lime Pie.

Beware of the not-so-cool Cat! Sage Lazzaro, refinery29.com, yesterday:

Employees of the popular clothing company Feminist Apparel … (whose) shirts … feature sayings like “Cats against catcalls” and “Trans rights are human rights” … discovered that the brand’s founder and CEO … had an admitted history of sexually abusing women … After asking for his resignation, all nine employees were fired … “This is the patriarchy and toxic masculinity at its f..king finest,” says Rebecca Green, the company’s now former art director.

B eware of the Buzzcut! Stacy Thomas, The Daily Telegraph, July 9:

A Hunters Hill barber … has had to post a public statement … saying he’ll cut the hair of any gender … “if a ­female/transgender or any gender comes into my barber shop and would like a buzz cut … it would be against the law to say ‘no’ … barbers have no exemptions like women-only gyms.”

TERF war! Brandon Voss, new­nownext.com, July 7:

A small group of anti-trans cisgender feminists (known as TERFs or trans-exclusive radical feminists) crashed today’s London Pride parade … which was supposed to be led by London mayor Sadiq Khan, distributing … ­explicit anti-trans messages such as … “a male can never be lesbian”.
