WASHINGTON — In 2020, Congress greenlit a bipartisan plan to build a women’s history museum in the nation’s capital — an effort that has drawn widespread bipartisan support and raised tens of millions of dollars.

But over five years later, the initiative is still stalled on Capitol Hill, frustrating and confusing supporters in both parties while sparking a blame game inside the GOP.

The Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum Act, which was introduced last February, would secure a site for the museum by authorizing a plot of land on the National Mall to be transferred to the Smithsonian Institution. This is seen as the final legislative step in a decadelong process to create a national Smithsonian museum dedicated to women’s history.

The land transfer bill itself would not cost any money, and the project has raised $70 million in private donations to help with construction, which would be eligible for matching federal funds, according to the bill’s chief sponsor in the House, GOP Rep. Nicole Malliotakis of New York.

1. Sexism is a powerful force with the mouth....

.... breathing Christo Fascists as is the idea
that real Americans are white and straight but @ the end of the day despite all their attempts America is becoming more female powered, darker, gayer, and more diverse everyday. A bunch of former old school grocery stores in Columbus, Oh are
changing to Hispanic, Asian, and African. In and around lots of Polish, Ukrainian, and
eastern European too.

3. Where you at transphobes?

For all that talk about “transgender women erase real women” I never hear complaints about restricting women’s history, or research into women’s health, over bullshit “DEI” accusations.
