Nice one! Good pithy intro to the anti-modern-feminism mindset. Did you see this article in there BTW? http://quillette.com/2017/11/21/wilfrid-laurier-creep-critical-theory/ … Could Critical Theory be the evil twin of PoMo in creating the current envionment in Unis?

Critical Theory draws on Postmodernism extensively in its identitarian branches.
-
You could kinda say that Critical Theory is weaponized Postmodernism: once you've deconstructed objectivity and recieved morality, all that's left is to fight ruthlessly for the narrative that you've decided is 'right' (or in this case, Left...)

More articles like this from Quillette please! Where is the line between men using poor judgement, acting stupid and exhibiting bad behavior ( commonplace for millennia, in spite of civil & cultural evolution) v. actual deviant, dangerous and legitimately criminal acts?

Good article. The all women are victims narrative is very low resolution. The specific “who” is victim and victimizer and “how” a situation creates a victim is more important to helping victims than a predetermined victimhood/victimizer status of an abstract group.

Recognizing agency is a threat to feminists because it makes it harder for them to fool women into believing that the choices are not their own to make.

Of course, strident feminists have zero tolerance for logic and reason....
