It tells you pretty much all you need to know about the bias of the New York Tim that s workplace ethics lumn, “Work Friend, ” is thored by race-obssed, radil, and bative gay femist Roxane Gay. I have to pse a b here bee I have nclud that Gay is too often tellectually and rhetorilly dishont bee of her iologil missn, and people like that shouldn’t have regular platforms (or advice lumns) the New York Tim.
TWO: Nobody knows what the public’s rmed opn about the unborn is, bee most of the public don’t have an rmed opn, jt a snap emotnal judgment based on ignorance, bad rmatn and outbursts like Gay’s. Th the belief that Gay blam a the unannounced Supreme Court opn on isn’t a legimate belief at all, even if a poll uld discern accurately (and polls n’t) and her characterizatn of was fair, which isn’t.
Then Gay’s statement is a lie. “We shouldn’t live a world where…” is excable lazs: Gay is prottg that rape exists, that the act creat a human life, U. Th do Gay flt to what has bee progrsive magil thkg: bee realy is nvenient to an iologil agenda, POOF!

” Te to her creed, Gay won’t acknowledge that women give birth, bee trans fanatics will get mad at her. But that’s Roxane Gay. I felt I had to get Gay out of the way and my craw before discsg the topic that arose “Work Friend” whout further distractns.
[One more note: I am gog to tag this wh both “Roxane Gay, ” which is the rrect spellg of her name, and “Roxanne Gay, ” which is how I have repeatedly tagged her the past.
I hope you fd an amazg job, and Gay is the thor, most recently, of “Hunger” and a ntributg opn wrer.
