I came across this excellent essay at Spiked Online. It talks about the basic concepts we've built society upon ("freedom, reason, equality and progress") are being rolled back because of a creeping "maternalism" that teaches people to judge such things not by their intrinsic value, but by "what harm they do."

"...what we are seeing today is the dismantling of the historic gains of the Enlightenment in the name of The Mother."

F. Roger Devlin* and Roissy wrote about this regarding dating, but this is the first time I've seen the argument extended into what's happening with Western society itself.

It is no accident that feminists are at the forefront of attacks on the historic gains of the Enlightenment, the right to free speech, freedom of the press and the rights of the accused.

This, IMO, is a great sentence to use when feminists (or their Beta boys) hit you with the BS like "Feminism is the radical idea that women are people too blah blah blah."

No, it's the radical idea that the rights men died for are deliberately being dismantled. Feminism in its current form equals tyranny. The writer calls this "zombie feminism" and also says it goes unchallenged because people are afraid of being seen as "anti-woman."

This, IMO, is what undergirded the hysterical reaction to the ROK eating disorders article, and why today's feminists are so different that Erica Jong or even Gloria Steinem. Since this way of thinking is being taught in colleges, men are going to be dealing with a lot of calls for less freedom of speech in the future.

*Just for the record, HERE is a link to Devlin's classic "Home Economics" essays on feminism from around 10-15 years ago. These helped form the basis of the manosphere and still pack a punch, even after the ideas have rippled out into hundreds of different places.
