As vice president, Kamala Harris has co-led the first administration in American history that cannot definitively say what a woman is.
Kamala Harris, we are told, embodies what women voters have been waiting for. With a chance to become America’s first female president, she sought to assure us in her convention speech that “in matters of heart and home” (meaning, apparently, just abortion), she is the only logical choice. But women are not nearly so primitive. Even those who subscribe to identity politics can see that Harris is no feminist. In fact, it is entirely fair to deduce from her record that Kamala Harris is anti-woman.
As vice president, Kamala Harris has co-led the first administration in American history that cannot definitively say what a woman is. Her administration’s uncertainty over this biological certainty has not just been philosophical. Within the first 100 days of taking office, Joe Biden and Harris unveiled Executive Order 13988 to “prevent and combat discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation.” Veiled in faulty legal analysis, the directive set the entire federal government on a crusade for genderlessness in every aspect of American society—including employment, housing, health care, and education—the practical effect of which has been decidedly bad for women and girls.
Take, for example, Biden and Harris’ attempted hijacking of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National School Lunch Program, which provides free lunches to low-income school children in public and nonprofit schools around the country. In May 2022, the USDA announced that the program’s prohibition on sex discrimination would now extend to discrimination based on “sexual orientation” or “gender identity.” While the announcement was coupled with no examples of schools denying access to free lunches for eligible students of any persuasion, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack explained that “LGBTQ+ students needed to be provided with an avenue to grieve any discrimination they face.
