some of the main players were like literally carnival grifters. You know, it's completely awful. And it isn't only the claim that the patriarchy is essentially oppressive and that the war between men and women is eternal, it's also envious. And there is hardly a worse sin than envy. It's like, men have it so easy. It's like, no, I don't think so.

And I don't think women have it particularly easy either, but to... make the radical claim that one sex is somehow privileged over another in a fundamental way, and that both aren't playing a causal role in that, it's so preposterous. You know, even in these cultures, these Islamic cultures where women are oppressed, and they are, old women do plenty of the oppressing of young women, right?

It's not a man-only thing. You know, I know in Ayaan Hirsi Ali's family, for example, her exposure to genital mutilation was a consequence of her grandmother when her father was gone. And that's not atypical. The old women like to keep the young women in check and they have their reasons. So that's the evil queen motif in fairy tales, by the way, the poisoned apple deliverer, right?

That's women and not men. So, okay, so family feminism, what else?

And by the way, that's not a good precedent.

And I think that we are— That's that Marxist envy, right? You divide the world into oppressed and oppressor. Identify with the oppressed. And then the ultimate extent of that, and there's a feminized element of this, which is all perpetrators are actually victims, right? I mean, that's how they treated criminals in the Soviet Union. The actual criminals were victims of the state.

That was the official doctrine. You know, they tortured and tormented the political prisoners far more than the actual criminals because the criminals were destined to their criminal status by their oppressed status in relationship to the state. Yeah, and you're right. That narrative is being taught to kids nonstop. Well, that's a place where the conservatives have fallen down so terribly.

It's just appalling. You know that half the American state budgets are K-12 education? Yes. Half, right? And that's just government subsidy for the worst academic discipline, which is education. The worst faculty, the worst students, the most radically progressive, and conservatives have just rolled over with the possible exception of homeschooling and let that happen.
