Til then, she's just another mush-for-brains leftist ideologue, or a fraud. I'm not inclined to credit her for getting her head out of her ass on bumph like "intersectionality", only to shove it up her vagina regarding key fundamentals. She's either shallow, or ruthless enough to employ the fiction of patriarchal oppression to further a political agenda. <br /><br />Paglia, on the other hand, said:<br /><br />“One of feminism’s irritating reflexes is its fashionable disdain for 'patriarchal society,' to which nothing good is ever attributed. But it is patriarchal society that has freed me as a woman. It is capitalism that has given me the leisure to sit at this desk writing this book. Let us stop being small-minded about men… If civilization had been left in female hands, we would still be living in grass huts.”<br /><br />That strikes me as a much more grounded precept on which to build an understanding. <br /><br />Lastangonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-9869529815212178572014-02-22T20:54:08.762-08:002014-02-22T20:54:08.762-08:00Somehow I'm reminded of Scott Peck's "...Somehow I'm reminded of Scott Peck's "Four stages of community". What makes it useful to me is a reminder that process is about regression as much as progression, since we're all sitting on top of various hidden agendas and defenses that color how we see things.<br /><br />Burchill's description does sound like Jerry Springer's show, and we stop at chaos, or fall back to fakeness, since the emptiness stage is apparently too boring for observers who are just there for the fight.<br /><br />I talked to my church pastor about the history of the Christian church and all the centuries of division, and if they all worshiped the same god, why can't they find common ground? <br /><br />Religion and ideology are competitive places apparently, and jealous gods abound.<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._Scott_Peck#Community_Building<br />1.
