"We’re chipping away at what it is to be a woman and to be feminine."From: NewNowNext
Clueless star and Fox News contributor Stacey Dash has once again stuck her foot in her mouth with a round of controversial statements, this time on transgender rights and the power of feminism.
Dash made the statements in an interview on Entertainment Tonight when she stopped by to promote her new memoir, There Goes My Social Life: From Clueless to Conservative. The book, which details her life in Hollywood, also expresses her disdain for celebrities like Caitlyn Jenner and Lady Gaga, who promote a “liberal agenda” to the masses.
When pressed about her dislike for Jenner, Dash commented that she was bothered by the star’s use of the women’s restroom, stating that trans inclusion in public bathrooms is a form of “tyranny by the minority.”
“Why do I have to suffer because you can’t decide what you wanna be that day?” Dash continued. “It’s your body! So, it’s your decision, right? We all make choices.”
When ET’s Nischelle Turner rebutted, saying that being trans is not a choice, Dash replied that the entire trans rights movement has begun to “infringe” upon her “rights” as a citizen.
“OK, then go in the bushes. I don’t know what to tell you, but I’m not gonna put my child’s life at risk because you want to change a law,” Dash responded. “So that you can be comfortable with your beliefs—which means I have to change my beliefs and my rights? No.”
Of Gaga, Dash called her a “hypocrite” whose message of tolerance and acceptance is all a ruse to promote her own “liberal agenda.”
“If [Gaga’s intentions were pure] then it wouldn’t have brought up all that other stuff, you know? All the other things that came in wouldn’t have come into play,” she went on. “It would’ve just been, ’This is what I wanna say and this is it.'”
Confusing and misdirected attacks aside, Dash concluded that celebrities like Jenner and Gaga are transforming traditional gender roles, and not for the better.
“What we’re doing is we’re chipping away at what it is to be a woman and to be feminine,” she stated. “And what it is to be a man and be masculine. We’re chipping away at that. I wish we could go back to Mad Men days. I love those days. Men were men. And I love them.”
