I challenge anyone to defend any tenet of feminist ideology, and I undertake to prove their self-contradiction in two steps. Go ahead. Accept my challenge.
Without even waiting for you, let's start with "the personal is political".
So everything is political, and no-one has a right to personal freedom but what the government arbitrarily decides they can have? This will be backed up by government's claim of a legal monopoly of force and threats, including tasers, handcuffs, prison, rape and bashings. This is justified to enforce the feminist agenda, yes? That's what you're saying isn't it, Jo and Angelika?
So, in principle, you can't see any objection to repealing the law against rape, because "equal opportunity"? Equal opportunity is such a high moral principle that it justifies the threat, and fact, of prison and rape to enforce it, to override a person's freedom to choose whether to dissociate from another person?
Yes? No? Double standard on your part? Which?
And you forgot the other mantra of feminists when confronted over their sexist bigtory: "equal doesn't mean the same".
So which is it? Does equal mean the same? Or not? Answer?
