Shelley at Burningbird has a nice takedown of a post by a “Christian Libertarian” called Vox Popoli. When I followed the link to his post, I thought at first it was joke, then a lousy one, and then I realized I was reading a dead mackeral hocked up days ago.
“Far too many women are fascists at heart.”
“given the obvious connection between the female franchise and the West’s continental drift into”socialism.”
“It’s time for men to fight back against these laws with the nuclear option. Refuse to get married in the eyes of the law.”
I do think there are more differences than the obvious ones between men and women, but I also happen to think that makes us complementary, not adversaries. The problem isn’t that just that far too many women are fascists, but that far too many men and women are fascists or socialists or communists. I don’t recall women’s votes putting Hitler over the top, or Stalin, or Mao, or Mugabe, or Saddam.
Yes, I think a law mandating men do more around the house and spend more time taking care of dependents is silly and an intrusion – but in line with a lot of other silly intrusions that people, both male and female seem to want. Wouldn’t the better response be to mandate that women do more manly tasks plus codify a minimum amount of sex to show how silly the whole thing is?
