Rishi Sunak stood at the front of a room of Conservative Party members and made a groundbreaking announcement:"A man is a man, and a woman is a woman, that's just common sense."The words sent shock waves throughout the Western Hemisphere.
The deputy prime minister of Belgium responded by calling Sunak a "bully."It's easy to roll our eyes at the fact that Sunak's point even bears repetition, so basic and fundamental as it is.
But we can't deny that the prime minister's statement required a certain degree of courage in today's heated cultural landscape.
So many leaders ignore the culture wars, terrified to face a public flogging from the cancel mob; or even themselves capitulate to recite the new "truth" of the day.So why did Sunak speak up, and how did we get here?The "why" is easy enough.
