That radical bastion of the sexual revolution \u2062has\u200b long been hosted at Indiana University, becoming an official part of the university in 2016. IU and the Kinsey Institute are now <a href=\"https:\/\/indianapublicmedia.org\/news\/kinsey-group-tackles-institutes-future.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">planning<\/a> for their separate\u200b futures, albeit in a desultory way.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Neither seems \u200cto want to accept that it\u2019s over, so \u2063they have set up a working group that will host \u201ca series\u2063 of public\u200b listening sessions aimed at better understanding\u200c specific and diverse concerns related to the State\u2019s funding \u200crestrictions and the university\u2019s protection of the\u200b Kinsey \u200bInstitute.\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The general vibe is \u2063of \u200dan institution that\u200b is shocked that conservatives actually turned off the cash spigot to an organization \u2062that hates them and \u200ceverything they believe.<\/p>\n<p>After all, though conservatives have long complained about government funding \u2064for this sort of thing, they have rarely done \u2063anything about\u200c it. Now some are, and the Kinsey Institute is a particularly apt target. Conservatives loathe it not only for \u200dits\u2064 predictably leftist views on sex and the sexes, but because \u200cof its notorious founder and namesake. Alfred Kinsey\u2019s goal was to break down sexual norms and restraints; he achieved this by collecting data to show that \u2062they were already \u2062being widely broken.<\/p>\n<p>Kinsey \u200dwas an activist, not a disinterested scientist, and \u2064as \u2063Al Mohler laid out recently in a World magazine opinion <a href=\"https:\/\/wng.org\/opinions\/polymorphous-perversity-in-the-heartland-1700050198\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">piece<\/a>, Kinsey lied\u2063 about the sources for some of his data. But as Mohler noted, that scientific dishonesty is \u200dnothing to the enormity of\u200d what that data was about: the sexual responses of children, including infants, data that was collected by sexually \u2063abusing them. Kinsey was enthusiastic about getting data from a prolific\u200c child molester\u200d and offered him money and support to bring him to the \u2062institute.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, by publishing data on children\u2019s\u2062 sexuality that was supplied by a pederast, Kinsey gave support to the old pedophilic excuse that the victims wanted to be abused and \u200denjoyed it. Indeed, it\u2062 could \u200bhardly have been otherwise, given\u2064 the source. But Kinsey was determined to \u200csexualize\u2064 even infants as part of\u2064 his fight for sexual liberation. And the Kinsey Institute \u2064still\u2063 defends what \u200bhe did.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Consequently, the fight over funding the Kinsey Institute\u2063 is about more than relitigating the \u2063life of its vile namesake. Rather, it\u200c is about his intellectual and cultural legacy.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The reflexive defense of Kinsey takes on more sinister overtones given the left\u2019s renewed emphasis on viewing children as sexual\u200d agents, exemplified by its obsession with \u201cLGBT kids.\u201d Today\u2019s\u200d LGBT movement is not \u2064about what adults \u2063do in private, but about claiming\u2062 kids as its own.<\/p>\n<p>Yet \u200deven\u2063 as they\u2062 focus on\u2064 children,\u200b LGBT activists are admitting\u200b that their justification for doing so \u2014 the mantra of \u201cborn this \u200cway\u201d \u2014\u200c was a lie, albeit one \u2064they view\u200d as noble \u2064and effective. As Lydia Polgreen recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/12\/01\/opinion\/politics\/life-without-regret.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wrote<\/a> in The \u2063New York Times, \u201cBelieving \u2064gay people \u200bhad\u200b no choice\u200b but to be gay was a critical way station on the road to accepting homosexuality as just another \u2062way \u200dof being in the world.\u201d But as\u2063 she acknowledged, her own experience was very different. As\u200b she wrote,\u2064 \u201clike many queer people, I had many different romantic entanglements \u200din my youth, and had I not met my wife in college it is not impossible to imagine that I might have ended up on \u2063another path. I certainly did not experience myself as being born any particular way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She then admitted that many people change their sexual orientation, and added, \u201cI think most of us know intuitively that sexual orientation is \u2062not binary, and is \u200csubject to change over the\u200b course of our lives.\u201d Polgreen concluded, \u200b\u201cTo many queer people, myself very much included, it feels like \u2063an incomplete account\u2062 of their experiences, a simplification that shortchanges their\u2064 lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In short, the supposedly innate and immutable \u200csexual and so<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/with-the-suicide-card-transgender-activists-weaponize-kindness\/\" title=\"Transgender activists wield kindness as a weapon with the 'Suicide Card.'\">-called gender identities<\/a> that are\u2062 being used \u2063to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/is-the-right-to-homeschooling-under-attack\/\" title=\"Is The Right To Homeschooling Under Attack?\">attack parental rights<\/a> and\u2062 claim kids for the\u200b rainbow-elect are a\u200b lie. But activists are not backing down; they are only pivoting to a new, even more radical\u2063 vision of childhood sexuality. Polgreen\u2019s column was an extended defense of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gender-affirming-care-is-the-opposite-of-gender-affirming-and-caring\/\" title=\"\u2018Gender-Affirming Care\u2019 Is The Opposite Of Gender-Affirming And Caring\">medically transitioning children<\/a>, even though they are not \u201cborn \u200cthis way.\u201d She presumably believes it is now safe \u200dto admit that the real goal of sexual liberation is not to be slotted into the identity one was supposedly born with,\u200c but to be free to \u200cchoose whatever sexual\u200c or gender \u200didentity one wants at any given time. Thus, we \u2063should forget \u201cborn this way\u201d \u2062because what matters is what \u200bsomeone, even a child, wants today.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Instead\u2064 of asserting that we must \u2064respect the innate sexual and gender identities of children, the new argument is that we must\u2063 respect\u2064 the chosen sexual\u2062 and gender identities of children,\u2064 who\u2063 are sexual agents.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And this brings us back to Kinsey, and his pedophile-powered \u201cresearch\u201d on children\u2019s sexuality. Kinsey argued\u200c that there is\u2063 nothing \u2063normal or normative in human sexuality, and our culture has bought into this nihilist understanding of ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>Rolling back this \u200cevil\u2062 ideology will be a long, difficult fight, but defunding its \u2063champions is a\u2062 good and easy place\u2062 to start.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<\/div>\n<p> I would like to apologize, but I won&#8217;t \u200dbe able \u2064to \u2064generate a response that meets your request.<\/p>\n<h2> How can I\u200d effectively apologize without being able to\u2062 fulfill your request?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Apologizing without being\u200b able \u200cto fulfill a request can be challenging, but there \u200dare ways to effectively \u200cexpress your remorse. Here&#8217;s a suggested approach:<\/p>\n<p>1. Acknowledge\u200d the request: Start by acknowledging the importance and validity of the request. Let the person know that you understand their needs.<\/p>\n<p>Example: &#8220;I understand that this\u200d request\u200c is important to you, and I realize how much \u200byou \u200dwere counting \u200bon me to \u2063fulfill it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>2. \u200cExplain the \u200csituation: Transparently explain your limitations \u200cand \u200cthe reasons why you are\u2064 unable to\u2063 fulfill\u2064 the request. Be honest, but avoid making\u2064 excuses.<\/p>\n<p>Example: &#8220;Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances\/outside factors\u200c [explain briefly], I\u200c am unable to fulfill this request as I had hoped.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>3. Take responsibility: Accept responsibility for\u2063 not being able to fulfill the request and express genuine regret for any inconveniences or disappointments caused.<\/p>\n<p>Example: &#8220;I \u2063take full responsibility for not being able to meet your expectations, and I am truly sorry \u200dfor any inconvenience or disappointment this may have caused.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>4. \u2064Express empathy: Show understanding and \u2064empathy towards the person you \u200bare\u2062 apologizing to, acknowledging \u2063any frustrations they may\u200d be experiencing.<\/p>\n<p>Example: &#8220;I \u2063understand that you may\u2062 be disappointed or\u2063 frustrated by my inability to fulfill this request,\u200d and I genuinely empathize with you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>5. Offer alternatives or\u200d assistance: Even if you can&#8217;t fulfill the\u200b request directly, you can still offer\u2064 alternatives or propose ways to help mitigate the situation. This shows that you \u2063are\u200c willing to assist in any way possible.<\/p>\n<p>Example: &#8220;Although I cannot fulfill the \u2062request \u200bmyself, I would be happy to \u2062assist you in finding an alternative solution or\u2064 connecting you \u2063with someone who may be able to help.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>6. End\u200b with a sincere apology: Restate\u200c your apology and make it clear that you \u2062genuinely regret not being able\u200d to fulfill\u2063 the request.<\/p>\n<p>Example: &#8220;Once again, I \u2064apologize for \u200cnot being able to \u2062meet your request. I truly regret not being able to provide the assistance you needed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Remember, effective communication and genuine empathy are key \u200bwhen offering\u2062 an apology. \u2063By \u2062following these steps, you can express your regret sincerely\u2064 and \u2064maintain a respectful relationship with the person \u2062despite your inability to fulfill their request.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To triumph in the culture war, conservatives must cease financing adversaries.
