Way back in 1969, when the first radical feminists were meeting in small groups in Greenwich Village and Boston to establish the philosophy and goals of their movement, they expressly proclaimed that the family, heterosexuality and capitalism are inherently tools of the patriarchy used to oppress and enslave women that are incapable of being reformed. They also expressly and proudly adopted goals that included complete eradication of family, heterosexuality and capitalism.<br /><br />Although feminists no longer advertise these goals, nothing that's happened since 1969 makes me doubt for a second that their goals remain the same.JPL17https://www.blogger.com/profile/10649330420822802850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-43566596742252370612019-12-01T04:40:15.740-08:002019-12-01T04:40:15.740-08:00They are not just professional clueless.

I overheard at Thanksgiving a conversation between a female relative and a visiting friend, both of them famously feminists, discussing a mutual aquaintance whose son recently announced his engagement to be married at what they considered to be a shockingly young age (under thirty, from subsequent comments). Neither of these women have had stable long term relationships, much less marriages with children, in their forty plus years. One is from an intact family that so far has no third generation though both the woman and her brother are well over thirty. The other is from a family with multiple generations of divorces, children from multiple partners, and out of wedlock births. The vile comments about the political and religious beliefs of a woman who has been married almost three decades to the same man and raised two successful sons, and her son's sexuality were typical of the 'tolerant' Left and quite in line Edsall's refusal to see how feminism has caused many social issues to fester.Christopher Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00396671757183163171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-41460610400014242392019-11-30T16:29:40.382-08:002019-11-30T16:29:40.382-08:00Surely freeing people to pursue individual fuflfil...Surely freeing people to pursue individual fuflfillment and freeing women, through contraception, from all that's entailed in having unwanted children (including bad shotgun marriages) was and still is a good thing. To oppose that is to say that only the suppression of individuals can lead to a stable society. The problem, initially and increasing, lies (and lay) in the ideological fashions and license imposed on those freedoms.

Technological innovation, from the contraceptive pill to the global transmission of capital and goods; deunionization and automation; rising standards of living freeing human beings to seek self-expression and individual fulfillment; and hyperintensive international competition — are only some of the factors underlying the turbulence, even the disintegration, of traditional norms and practices."<br /><br />Someone in an aviation magazine observed that "If you do anything with your airplane that is not consistent with the Pilot's Operating Handbook, then you are a test pilot." In a society, the POH is the aggregate of customs, expectations, and formal laws that govern behavior. There is no question that some of the factors that the author mentions required ongoing revision of the societal POH; the problem is that the "progressives" wanted to not only throw out the whole thing but to substitute new ones written by people who (in terms of the analogy) knew nothing about aerodynamics and had in many cases never flown an airplane.<br /><br />There are a lot of people who are perfectly good pilots but who do not want to be test pilots and wouldn't be very good at it.
