I'm not sure what a 're-embrace of the feminine' means. I don't think we can get away from gender differences and the different jobs we choose in different numbers demonstrates this. Some are female-dominated, some male. Is that feminine and masculine?

In countries where Islam is the dominant cultural force (which is why I chose it), the Islamic scholars and leaders possess great power to influence policies because they are regarded generally as 'good' and 'knowledgeable' even by ppl who haven't read them.

Do you share James's sense that the hegemony of the feminist ideology is too entrenched to be overturned or at least abridged somewhat?
-
I am usually more optimistic than James! But I see the same problem he does and also think we have a long way to go to unpick the assumptions and norms we have talked ourselves into.

Well, we all need to keep doing what we're doing if that is ever going to happen. So keep it up!

I thank
@QuilletteM for introducing me to reasonable anti-feminists who are (I assume) also pro-female. My circle is not typically so nuanced. -
Well, thank you. I say this but we prob mean same thing. If you are concerned abt current feminism but support equal opportunities & recognise overlapping distributions of traits & feel men & women can have relationships of mutual liking & respect, we do.https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/728750955995529216 …

A well stated analogy. Few "feminists" really understand the implications of the ideology, namely, that men and women are exactly the same and should have equal outcomes.
-
Yes. The fear is that if men and women are different, it makes women inferior. This is why they hear 'Women are less interested in engineering on average' as 'Women can't do engineering because they should stay home and have babies.'
-
This tweet circles back to my earlier statement, that somehow feminists idealized male potential and made that their goals. That's a deep irony.
-
Yes, I agree that this is a part of it but they are also threatening that which is seen as masculine - science, reason, engineering, business etc. This is also highly insulting to women.
-
The
@JamesADamore fiasco (#googlememo) is a perfect example of all these issues at work in today's culture.

Criticism of CT and related disciplines could benefit by more comparisons to theology.
