the forever war against women

The Cultural Left has been bleating about a supposed war on women for quite a while now. They’re both right and wrong about this. There is a war on women going on, but it’s not being waged by the Religious Right. It’s being waged by an alliance of intersectional feminists and the LGBTwhatever lobby. And one thing needs to be clearly understood. These days the LGBTwhatever lobby is effectively the T lobby. They’re the ones calling the shots.

Social conservatives and conservative Christians are, as usual, utterly clueless about this. It always amuses me when these rightists start speculating about what’s coming next, after World War T. What they fail to understand is that World War T has only just begun. What we’ve seen so far have been preliminary skirmishes. The ultimate objective is to erase women.

The campaign to erase women is being conducted by men. Men in frocks. The existence of actual women is offensive to these men, for obvious reasons. They want to become women but they have difficulty in persuading anyone to regard them as women so they are naturally bitter and resentful towards actual women who have no difficulty being regarded as women. There are also those who claim to belong to any one of 117 different genders. No-one is going to take their claims seriously as long as most people continue to recognise the existence of actual women. These extreme members of the LGBTwhatever lobby face a huge problem as long as most people regard a woman as a human being who has two XX chromosomes and a vagina. They want us to consider a man with an X and a Y chromosome and a penis as a woman. Therefore it is necessary for them to push the line that having two XX chromosomes and a vagina is not what defines a woman.

Now I’m not arguing that a woman is defined solely by her vagina. But being born with two XX chromosomes and a vagina really is an absolutely crucial defining characteristic of a woman. If a man with a penis can be accepted as a woman then being a woman becomes meaningless. A woman’s entire experience of being a woman becomes meaningless.

And intersectional feminists are not merely enabling but actively supporting a misogynistic campaign to erase women.

It’s also, interestingly enough, a campaign (being conducted by men) to control women’s sexuality. If a woman does not need to have a vagina then the whole idea of women’s sexuality becomes meaningless.

It’s worth pointing out that Second Wave feminists back in the 70s were angry that women’s sexuality was (in their view) controlled by the patriarchy. But they did not want to give women control over their own sexuality – the feminists wanted to be the ones who controlled female sexuality, rather than the patriarchy. They did not want men telling women what to do. They wanted to be the ones who told women what to do. Today we have a situation in which men in frocks seek to be the ones controlling women’s sexuality, and the younger generations of feminists are A-OK with that.

Social conservatives and conservative Christians are incapable of offering any serious resistance on this issue because, let’s be honest, they also dislike the idea of allowing women to make their own choices.
