It's fascinating: there are the true generators of these beliefs (who are full of resentment and bitterness and transgressive antisociality - many call themselves 'activists' although they never build anything and wouldn't know how).... and then there is the mass of herdlike creatures (mostly women or old CNN-viewers) who aren't necessarily comfortable with the more vituperative and communist messages, but who convince themselves that they are on the side of 'nice' people. This latter group includes many female college students and professionals, older home-owning Episcopalians, and middle-aged Minnesota soccer moms. They don't WANT to upend society (despite the fact that this is the entire raison d'etre of the movement they are associated with); they just don't like those meanies. Kindness equals niceness (in their minds), and niceness equals delusion. And kindness is their highest stated virtue, even if they demonstrate few genuine examples in their own lives. In truth, they're just terrified of what other people might think of them. What a way to live.

Good comment, and I think the linked article is really good. Well worth reading.

As a woman, I suspect the “I hate men” crowd are - not angry at unwarranted attention from men - but angry there isn't any.

Blue hair, excess weight, a preference for “bed-rotting”, and a chosen handle of “Write Sober” indicating past or current alcohol issues, may not be the best foundation to build a relationship on.

Better to blame everyone else but yourself, studiously avoid the admission it might just be you and your off-putting vibe (generally repelling all but your like-minded bed-bound choir) and instead curate a story that you hate men because they are a threat, not because they find you unattractive in every way.

I suspect women like this also despise women like me.

Funny how the latest tranny mass murderer was the one with a literal Nazi tattoo. They've been giving that little detail a thorough leaving alone.

Their parents, their schools, and the luxury beliefs that they've wholeheartedly embraced have failed these women. You'd think that the cognitive dissonance they're experiencing would lead to some enlightenment and humility. But all it's doing is making them rage and go mad.

I do believe that quite a lot, if not all of this Lefty performative virtue signaling outrage porn is driven largely by their narcissistic rebellion against their Father.

These women make me think of paid activists at free wherever protests spouting propaganda to stir things up.

What used to be comical—the instant pearl clutching of every single issue—has become tiring. There is nothing that these uneducated “graduate” students won’t whine about. Whine fatigue is real. Thankfully, I have the eternal wisdom of the Bible to turn that fatigue into joy. Keep up the good fight, sir.

See the hyperventilating outrage over the DJT call to the locker room of USA Men's hockey team. These people have never experienced the euphoric joy of being a part of something that is bigger than yourself and winning against all odds. They are damn determined that nobody else will feel that joy, either.

I am stridently against “hate speech/crimes” and “safe spaces”. I am an absolutist on free speech. In a discussion if you slur me I have won. My daughter went to St John’s in Annapolis. A “Great books/western civilization “ school. Seminar based. The ONLY way to lose at seminar was to invoke “The NAZI’s”. The same rule should apply in our discussions.

Reminds me of the Old Master:

"There should be no controversy: a guy should never tell a girl he's going to rape her, online or not, kidding or not. I get that he's probably not serious, but there should be no instinct at all to defend such a jerk, and yet----- and yet that is precisely the instinct many people get. Men who have never wanted to threaten anyone read Hess's story and side with the troll. And Hess will agree: it is a massive number of people. So they're all misogynist jerks, too? No other explanation?"
