Gendergate for Conan the Wonder Dog
« on: November 25, 2019, 04:25:56 PM »
The TDS is strong. Now the big news story is why the White House is not giving us an accurate gender description for military pooch Conan. There's a whole bunch of other TDS stuff out there too, turning a feel good story into orange man bad.

Should they be assuming the dog's gender?

And they bring out the backhoe and start digging trying to get through that bottom.

We have a flat sack cat, sometimes we call it a him, sometimes a her. It really doesn't care as long as you feed it and pet it on its schedule. It has tried to trip me down the stairs several times, probably thinking "I could eat for months on that carcass".

Is this the same dog that's name was classified? Maybe the gender is still classified top secret.

So funny that gender, race, etc, all matter again. Well, not funny, really.

The funniest part in all this is that there are multiple pictures of that dog sitting that show its belly.  If a reporter was really curious the answer can be had without waiting for a White House Press Release.

You are assuming that a reporter knows what to look for. It seems most of them don't understand how it works with their own species. It is a bit of a stretch to expect any more with another species entirely.

They're all still trying to decide on the proper pronouns for dogs.  Give them some time and they will finally figure out how many genders dogs have and what to call them.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

The question is:  Have they asked the dog what gender it feels like?
