Female biology but gender oppressor: Lynndie England


The above is a photo of U.S. military reservist Lynndie England staring at a pile of naked Iraqi men with a leer on her face while another U.$. soldier stands behind her with arms folded.

A lot of people have a hard time thinking of gender as anything but biology. When MIM calls Amerikan females-by-biology "men," we get a lot of blank stares and snickers. Yet the proof is that Lynndie England is no one special in Amerikkka. Any female-biology adult of the right age could have volunteered to take her place in the Amerikan Army. That's the proof that it is a group thing about gender in Amerika.

On the other hand, it is the Iraqi people with penises being gender oppressed in these pictures. Other phrases you will hear used for this is that Iraqis here are "social females" or "socially wimmin." Lynndie England will be referred to as "socially-speaking a man" and other variations on the idea.

There will be a lot of speculation whether the smile on Lynndie England's face comes from something deep down in female biology or whether she is just going along in comradeship with her male peers in the U.S. Army. That's a discussion for another day. For this once, MIM will let the pictures do the talking for why MIM is the only party of any kind with a line addressing how this got to be.

We do not encourage people to steal photos, but these above photos were taken by the U.S. Government and are the property of taxpayers. These photos on this page have been discussed all over the world: count yourself in a cave if you had not seen them already! Get out into politics more!
