Here's a fun juxtaposition:
["654.75"]
The aloft screengrab, which comes via the Guardian, shows a banderole whose absolute apriorism is a awful and already disproven lie. At the actual basal of the aforementioned photo is a appeal for donations. Give the Guardian some money and they'll accumulate bearing this top-notch, primo content.
Thanks for the warning, fellas.
The Guardian article, blue-blooded "Is Paul Ryan afraid of shoulders? The Republican dress cipher is beeline out of The Handmaid's Tale," is based on a lie that was dismantled aftermost anniversary by reporters who absolutely awning the House of Representatives.
The dress code, which applies to the Speaker's antechamber only, is not new, nor was it crafted by GOP lawmakers. It has been about for decades, and its administering varies with who's accomplishing the enforcing. The alone acumen anyone is talking about the cipher now is because Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., is House Apostle and because associates of the columnist who are not from Washington, D.C., allegedly don't apperceive a abuse affair about Congress.
["654.75"]Guardian columnist Hadley Freeman, however, goes able-bodied above actuality artlessly ignorant. Her op-ed Monday was absolute malicious.
The actuality that her commodity appeared canicule afterwards U.S. journalists had already put this affected dress cipher anecdotal to blow shows she is not a good-faith actor. Freeman, who is herself an American, acutely has an axe to grind, and she is application the amplitude accustomed to her by the Guardian to assignment out whatever claimed problems she has with Republicans.
Freeman's attack to accumulate the dress cipher lie animate is bad. Her comparing GOP assembly to theocratic rapists is aloof sad.
The affliction (best?) allotment of this debris cavalcade is the actuality that the columnist disproves her absolute apriorism while aggravating to get at her conclusion. Enjoy this adept exercise in self-defeat:
["654.75"][Y]es, there has consistently been a House dress code, which states, rather vaguely, that bodies should dress "appropriately". What this agency is larboard up to the House speaker. Step forward, one Paul Ryan! And yes, these rules accept existed for over a decade, predating above apostle Nancy Pelosi. However, [IJR anchorman Haley Byrd] said admiral on convoying accept been "cracking bottomward on the dress code" recently. "I doubtable the rules are actuality emphasised now that it's summertime and excruciatingly hot alfresco and anybody is bathrobe for the weather," she added. So this is about how abundant Republicans abhorrence women and how abundant they abhorrence journalists. Gosh, killing two birds with one bean is fun.
To be clear, Freeman concedes Ryan didn't actualize the dress cipher and that he is not amenable for its content. But she goes advanced and accuses him of arrant sexism anyway. Sharp stuff.
Freeman's cavalcade continued:
Indeed, Ryan afresh took time out from his active agenda of actuality a amoeba Trump apologist to admonish Congress of the accent of "appropriate business attire", not aggravation to explain (a) what this means, (b) why he's so afraid of amateur and (c) why it's absolutely adapted for, say, Kellyanne Conway and Ivanka Trump to abrasion sleeveless dresses – their favourite style, incidentally – and still be, respectively, advisor to the admiral and credible president-in-waiting.

It concludes in the abutting paragraph: "It is no abruptness that this administering should acquisition women's amateur so terrifyingly unacceptable."
This is impressively disingenuous, and it goes able-bodied above alone ignorant. It's vicious, awful stuff.
Amazingly enough, Freeman attempted Monday afternoon to avert her debris column, claiming again that her adventure was not, in fact, a afire debris heap. You see, she argued, bodies aloof absent her point.
"Handy hint: try account the commodity and not aloof the banderole afore you cheep the journalist. Accept a nice day," she tweeted.
["654.75"]
Yeah, that's it. Bodies are aloof confounding curve like, "We should never belittle the Republicans' multitasking abilities back it comes to alleviative women like sexualised chattel."
What trash.
