Some days you read the news and wonder whether you were sucking down too many cokes the night before. After checking that it is not, in fact, April 1st and that the article in question is not from the the onion. Then, you have to, with an ashen-face, face the reality of the news item in question.

Women demand female Pamplona bull run, with cows

So they were allowed to take part in the normal runs..
So they want their own run with cows instead of bulls in a move that "would put Pamplona at the vanguard of traditional fiestas with equality for men and women."

Equality of outcome becomes equated with equality itself.

This story is a perfect parallel to the lowering of standards for women in the police force, women in the army, women in the fire-fighters. As well as the infantilization of women in the workplace and practically every other venue of life.

Women could run, they could run alongside the men and take part in the event on a truly equal standing. But no, they were afraid. They couldn’t compete. But they still had to have a slice of the male pie. So they cried and stamped their little feet and demanded that a little paddling pool be put alongside the swimming pool so that they could play at being adults.

So up is down and left is right and inequality is equality. George Orwell was right.

The umbrella in particular is remembered as the symbol of the nineteenth century’s disturbing obsession with individualism. In Bellamy’s utopia, umbrellas have been replaced with retractable canopies so that everyone is protected from the rain equally.
“In the nineteenth century,” explains a character, “when it rained, the people of Boston put up three hundred thousand umbrellas over as many heads, and in the twentieth century they put up one umbrella over all the heads.”
