Good read. This was eye opening -
“The left’s selective outrage convinced me that much canonical, left-wing feminism is not so much support for women, as it is a protest against Western, heterosexual men. It’s an “I hate” phenomenon, rather than an “I love” phenomenon.”
That explains a lot.
Hate comes from envy, and envy springs from vanity. Vanity often develops as a defensive response to emotional trauma during childhood. Many a leftist didn't get invited to some childhood birthday party, which starts the leftist snowball rolling. That explains why birthday gifts are banned in the Obama household, and why Mantoinette tried to ban birthday cupcakes in government schools.
