Mary Harrington:
“…[W]henever a significant material upheaval impacts enough of a population, one of its cultural side-effects will be a big argument about men and women, that continues until some kind of consensus emerges about how best to live together under the new, changed conditions.”
Very important to remember.
Skipping a few paragraphs in the essay, we get to this:
“If your radicalism is laser-focused on scapegoating normie lib women, instead of mobilising against all the other issues that are bearing down on healthy family formation, or making modern life ever more expensive and unpleasant, what you are saying is that everything about the world is fine, except what women do.”
I don’t think her conclusion necessarily follows (“what you are saying is…”), but the point that the battle of the sexes may be a symptom rather than a cause is insightful.
