  1. Were are the trans women…this company needs to be shut down until they include at least 5% transwomen in female dance roles

  2. “Then he(Jesus) said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
    There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.”
    ‭‭[Luke‬ ‭21‬:‭10‬-‭11]

    “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” [Hebrews‬ ‭9‬:‭27‬]

    “as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
    for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” [Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭10‬, ‭23]

    “that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

  3. Congratulations!! Wonderful to hear of this.🩰

  4. A woman's place is in the home raising kids cooking cleaning and doing laundry. Get back there. Do it now.

  5. They forgot to mention that ABT was founded by Lucia Chase, who ran the company for almost 40 years until 1980. And the first female artistic director of a major company was Agrippina Vaganova when she managed Kirov (Mariinsky) Ballet in 1930s

  6. And I thought all those studios were run by women.

  7. What is a woman? Are you a biologist?
