Den tid, vi lever i, er så gennemsyret af politisk rådenskab, at det mest heltemodige en person kan gøre, er at stille sig op og sige sandheden uden småligt hensyn til sin egen karriere eller person.
Det er præcist hvad canadieren Barbara Kay gør i artiklen her:
http://www.mercatornet.com/articles/whos_oppressing_who/ - Who’s oppressing who?
Hun starter med den nødvendige disclaimer:
In its earliest and most benign form – the political campaign to achieve equality under the law and equality in economic opportunities – feminism was a necessary and welcome reform movement. No rational person could be less than delighted to see barriers to a full range of educational and career options for women fall by the wayside.
At de så ikke har brugt deres nyvundne magt ansvarligt og stadig ikke har samme pligte som mænd er en anden sag. Principielt set var den første feminisme en god feminisme.
Feminismen af i dag er en ganske anden. Herom forklarer Kay:
This is an ideology that sees the relations between the sexes as a never-ending antagonistic power struggle, with women as eternal victims and men as eternal oppressors. It is an ideology that explains away the moral failings of women as the fault of a patriarchal "system", but holds men responsible for their actions. And most important, it is an ideology that shortchanges children by privileging the rights and importance to children of mothers over fathers.
That kind of feminism is so deeply entrenched in our society’s cultural elites and the institutions they dominate -- really it is the defining ideology of our era -- that whether she wants to or not, no thinking woman can escape the necessity of negotiating some kind of relationship with its claims.
Ja.
