Soooo You're Saying Collective Rage Has Blinded People From Self Introspection?
"told ya so"
Louis Bettong
I have long said that progressive dogma (in this case feminism) is anti-individual (attack on the enlightenment values), in the sense that it keeps an individual from gaining a deeper understanding of themselves through self observation. I remember conversations that I have had with various people, who have basically said "well how do you know that" or "that is just a slippery slope argument" or "what is your proof of that". My answer was always, because their problems are perceived as external and beyond their control (one of oppression perhaps) but this is often not the case. Most of the time people have to change or make some effort (do some work on themselves) to become better people. However postmodernists are provided a plethora of external moral issues that instantly make people "feel" like they are better than you. Think of Ana Kasparin from The Young Turks.
The following interview with Dr Louise Mazanti subtly eludes to this through her analysis of the JBP/Cathy Newman interview.
Dr Mazanti builds a more feminine critique of the tone of questioning and interestingly comes to a similar conclusion as some of the other more technical break downs of the interview.
Does feminism need a reformation (because it is a religion) or just to disappear altogether? Whatever it is something needs to change, we will regress back to Victorian era sensibilities and to be honest I am not interested in catering to the sensibilities of the uneducated masses who feel victimised at the slightest thing.
