You've nailed it about Western liberalism's obsession with language, to the exclusion of wide-ranging study of world history or systematic observation of present social conditions. Liberalism of the 1950s and '60s exalted civil liberties, individualism, and dissident thought and speech. "Question authority" was our generational rubric when I was in college. But today's liberalism has become grotesquely mechanistic and authoritarian: It's all about reducing individuals to a group identity, defining that group in permanent victim terms, and denying others their democratic right to challenge that group and its ideology. Political correctness represents the fossilized institutionalization of once-vital revolutionary ideas, which have become mere rote formulas. It is repressively Stalinist, dependent on a labyrinthine, parasitic bureaucracy to enforce its empty dictates.
The reluctance or inability of Western liberals to candidly confront jihadism has been catastrophically counterproductive insofar as it has inspired an ongoing upsurge in right-wing politics in Europe and the United States. Citizens have an absolute right to demand basic security from their government. The contortions to which so many liberals resort to avoid connecting bombings, massacres, persecutions, and cultural vandalism to Islamic jihadism is remarkable, given their usual animosity to religion, above all Christianity. Some commentators have suggested a link to racial preconceptions: that is, Islam remains beyond criticism because it is largely a religion of non-whites whose two holy cities occupy territory once oppressed by Western imperialism.
...
Right now, too many secular Western liberals treat Islam with paternalistic condescension—waving at it vaguely from a benevolent distance but making no effort to engage with its intricate mixed messages, which can inspire toward good or spur acts of devastating impact on the international stage.
It is certainly ironic how liberals who posture as defenders of science when it comes to global warming (a sentimental myth unsupported by evidence) flee all reference to biology when it comes to gender. Biology has been programmatically excluded from women's studies and gender studies programs for almost 50 years now. Thus very few current gender studies professors and theorists, here and abroad, are intellectually or scientifically prepared to teach their subjects.
Read it all, simpletons.

Fucking love it. Just had my 17 year old daughter read it. She's a tremendous writer herself and was also impressed. Fuck off RATS

She's always been a militant cunt, preferring to be provocative instead of thoughtful. Besides, I liike my feminists fuckable, like Naomi Wolf. Hell, I'd take the ugly Katie Roiphe in a pinch over Camille, if for no other reason than she's not an insufferable twat.
This is the angry old feminist's version of a Get Off My Lawn rant. Oh, these kids today, they've lost the True Meaning of What We Fought For, they aren't pure of heart and noble of purpose like we were. Fuck you old hag, you weren't. I remember. And, of course, Race was there!

You know why you were flagged

Katie Roiphe is like a Joan Osborne who has been dragged face down behind a pickup for a few blocks
GRUNDLE STOp
Naomi Wolf and Katie Roiphe are third-wave feminists. Katie is ugly but well-spoken; Wolf, on the other hand, even though it's been 15+ years since she's written anything of relevance, is probably still hot enough to fuck with the lights on. Feminists love it when they're reduced to sexual objects; I think it's why they go into feminism.
You have very different ideas about women than anyone else on here my friend.
Tagging myself in this thread so I can check back for the pics of the 17 year old.

I will turn it back over to @HFNY to resume his American white trash tirade.
