Actually, the proof is in: fish do need a bicycle. I’ll get to the elephant part.
1.In dozens of ways we have seen the failure of the Left’s pronouncements and promises, from the French Revolution, to the Soviet and Maoist versions, and to our ersatz communist party, the Democrats.
Today’s example is the central doctrine of the feminist version of Leftism….you may recall their battle cry: Dunn coined the famous catch phrase: "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle," which was subsequently popularized by Gloria Steinem and became a popular slogan among feminists. (Wikipedia).
Nowhere is the failure of that claim more poignant, more stark, than in the black community, where it is actually unusual for a child to be brought up in an intact nuclear family….thanks to the Democrats.
2. I’ve documented elsewhere the terrible results for children as a result of accepting the anti-biblical values advanced by the Left, the end of marriage and the destruction of the nuclear family.
The Democrat's Risen Yahweh, the one they called god, Jesus, and the messiah, said this:
" But if we are honest with ourselves, we’ll admit that what too many fathers also are is missing – missing from too many lives and too many homes. They have abandoned their responsibilities, acting like boys instead of men. And the foundations of our families are weaker because of it.
You and I know how true this is in the African-American community. We know that more than half of all black children live in single-parent households, a number that has doubled – doubled – since we were children. We know the statistics – that children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of schools and twenty times more likely to end up in prison. They are more likely to have behavioral problems, or run away from home, or become teenage parents themselves. And the foundations of our community are weaker because of it."

Where are any of those conditions attributable to 'white privilege' or that bogus 'racism'?
Nope.
3. Which brings us to an essay by a real Liberal, not the Fascist variety we have leading the Democrat Party, Wm. Raspberry, writing in the Washington Post a decade before Bezos destroyed the paper:
“The Elephants' Tale
…crisis: the unexplained slaughter of white rhinos, an endangered species. Young bull elephants were harassing the rhinos, for no apparent reason -- throwing sticks at them, menacing them, chasing them over great distances, and finally stomping them to death.
Moreover, these now teenage members of the group that had been transported from Kruger were being led by a handful of particularly bad actors. One of these, dubbed Tom Thumb by the rangers, accumulated the game park equivalent of a videotaped rap sheet: several instances of chasing white rhinos, marauding, aggressive interaction with a tourist vehicle.
...the rangers and scientists detected a pattern: The young sexually active bulls, "suffering from an excess of testosterone," were becoming increasingly violent. Indeed, it seemed for a time that more of them might have to be killed.
Then last year someone got the bright idea of bringing some older, mature bulls to Pilanesberg (there was, by then, the technology to transport the bigger animals). Perhaps the bigger, stronger males could rein in the teenagers.
The gamble paid off, for reasons both obvious and subtle. The bigger bulls, establishing the natural hierarchy, became the dominant sexual partners for the females. The resulting reduction in sexual activity on the part of the young bulls also lowered their testosterone levels and reduced their violent behavior.
But it wasn't just a matter of size-based intimidation. The young bulls (after a few early and futile skirmishes with the "Big Daddies") started following the older bulls around -- obviously enjoying the association with the adult males, yielding to their discipline and learning from them proper elephant behavior.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/arch...ts-tale/808019f9-5004-4426-96db-c9441134ca11/
You gettin' this????
But......It may be too late to get enough bicycles for the needy fish, and there may not be enough bull elephants.
No society lasts forever….and the Democrat poison has had a lasting effect.
