In a recent opinion piece for RedState, Brandon Morse reflects on the enduring wisdom of Jeff Goldblum's character, Ian Malcolm, from the film "Jurassic Park."
Morse draws a parallel between Malcolm's iconic line, "life finds a way," and the recent developments at the University of Pennsylvania regarding Lia Thomas. The university's decision to revoke Thomas's victories and titles, which had been won in women's sports, marks a significant shift in policy. This move, according to Morse, is not just a victory for the women affected but a broader triumph for women's sports across the nation.
The announcement was accompanied by a statement from Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, who credited President Donald Trump for his role in this outcome.
McMahon stated, "Thanks to the leadership of President Trump, UPenn has agreed both to apologize for its past Title IX violations and to ensure that women's sports are protected at the University for future generations of female athletes. Today is a great victory for women and girls not only at the University of Pennsylvania but all across our nation."
Morse argues that while the Trump administration's influence was significant, this change was ultimately inevitable. He attributes this inevitability to two main factors: the inherent rebellious nature of Americans and the unyielding force of nature itself. The incursion of men into women's sports, driven by the TQ+ movement, was seen as an overreach that provoked a strong backlash from the American public. Morse notes that "rebellion is baked into our blood," and when societal norms are challenged, especially those involving children, resistance is bound to follow.
Reflecting on the cultural shift, Morse recalls his earlier observations about the waning corporate enthusiasm for "PRIDE month." He suggests that the American public's tolerance has limits, and once those limits are reached, a collective pushback ensues. "They were never in control," Morse writes, emphasizing that the American people eventually declared, "Enough."
Morse further contends that the TQ+ activist community underestimated the power of nature. He asserts that fundamental differences between men and women are undeniable, despite attempts by some to obscure them. "Men are not women. Women are not men," he states, highlighting the immutable laws of nature that govern human existence.
Drawing on the analogy of a garden, Morse likens the struggle against unwanted societal changes to the battle against weeds. Just as nature reclaims a garden left untended, so too does it reassert itself in human affairs. "Nature found a way," Morse concludes, echoing Malcolm's words from "Jurassic Park."
In his view, the recent developments at UPenn are a testament to the resilience of natural order and the enduring truth that, despite human interference, lifeand naturewill always find a way.
