Heck, would any of us have even conceived of this happening even ten years ago, much less back in the immediate post World War II era?

In the early 70's, a good friend (an Italian immigrant), surveyed the American landscape with the newly blossoming feminism and made a statement that I have never forgotten. He was a student of ancient civilizations. He pointed to those cultures, explaining that throughout history each time women (feminism) rose to power, they were soon followed by homosexuals demanding equal rights. Be it in Sparta, Rome, Athens or wherever, each time this happened, society collapsed. At the time he made this broad statement, I laughed. It wasn't long after, that I began to grimace as the reality of his prognastication turned into reality.

He is right.

I argue about this with my bride sometimes, but when any civilization goes off the rails in the Natural Law department, a crash soon follows. Feminism of the type we have now is a symptom of that.

It will be interesting to see who picks up the pieces after the West falls.
