The opposite is true for women: Women earn less money, therefore women have less power; and women earn less money, therefore women have more power”

“It's not that transgender people are going to go and molest children. It's that once you say men can go into women's bathrooms — men who are out shopping with their little daughters and don't have mommy to bring her in there. It's not that the trans are going to molest them, it's that a child molester now has the right to go into that bathroom.”
