Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Both the Nazis and Feminists reflect different aspects of the same compulsion. So, too, do the Communists and Social Democrats. It is basically a total intolerance for the reality of human differences; the reality of different aptitudes and different levels of achievement. While the rhetoric may be slightly different, it is part of the same war on reality that turned the Twentieth Century, which could have been a golden age of innovation, into a nightmare of conflict and acrimony. (See Compulsion For Uniformity.)

It is the same compulsion, which condemns our public schools to failure, however much money is spent on their behalf. It is not politically safe to acknowledge that innate aptitudes differ; and therefore, that reality cannot even be considered in making policy. And where it must be acknowledged, in some form; it must be trivialized and treated with all the scorn that a self-righteous neurotic can muster.

In my own small, and not always modest way, I try to give back some of that scorn to the crackpots who would intimidate the rest of us into silence.
