Rep. Emanuel Cleaver ended a prayer in Congress today with the words "Amen and A-woman". You've got to be kidding me. As has been said before, parody is becoming harder and harder to do.
First of all, Amen has nothing to do with males or men. It means "So Be It" or "Verily" in Hebrew. Just because the three letters M, E, N or M, A, N, appear in sequence does not mean the word refers to males. This is so ridiculous it should not need to even be stated.
To return to the idea that reality can hardly be parodied anymore, the TV show the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actually once made fun of this hyper-virtue-signaling when it comes to gender equality to the point of absurdity. At the end of Judge Banks prayer when he says Amen, his daughter Ashley interjects with A-woman! Of course, the audience laughs at this joke.
But now we are in the year 2021, where these things are happening in real life.
Give me a break!
