Those Who Walk Away From Feminism
2017-08-11
h/t Instapundit (h/t Ursula Le Guin)
As a woman, (according to the State Department) a minority, and an individualist, I feel the need to weigh in on the whole James Damore controversy.

I feel like what’s being discussed isn’t even close to what is actually going on. In fact, as with many things that are cherished by the left, I feel their "diversity" isn’t diversity at all, and their social engineering attempts fail because they’re not doing what they say they’re doing.

First, and before I get into details here, James Damore did not say what most people think he said. He did not say women are unsuited for tech jobs. He did not say women only have tech jobs due to affirmative action. That is all bullshit piled on by those mau-mauing him, in an effort to expel someone whose questioning made them uncomfortable.

Why it made them uncomfortable is the fascinating part of all this.

It makes them uncomfortable because it shatters the brittle shell of their enforced narrative, which can only be kept by keeping everyone from saying anything against it. It is very much a "the king is naked" situation. If James Damore is allowed to say men and women are different, the entire project of feminism shatters.

#3  Feminists have a problem. They won back in the 70's. Every legitimate grievance they raised had been addressed by then. So, what next? Go home, or make sh*t up? Well, now we know the answer.

#1  The whole point of Political Correctness is to humiliate people into publicly accepting ludicrous ideas as facts, the more ludicrous the better.
If they can make you accept things you know are wrong, they own your soul.
