Who will stand up to this feminist abuse of power?
by Niall McCrea, The Conservative Woman:
[…] Today, identity politics is all the rage. As nobody in authority dares to confront the stridently subversive demands of transgenderism, for example, agitators gain ground by stealth. Social conservative politicians (i.e. backbenchers) find that reasoned argument by Judeo-Christian, Platonic or Kantian principles is ineffective. ‘Whataboutery’ and complaints of mental gymnastics hold little weight. The Left has it sewn up. A black person cannot be racist, and a woman cannot be sexist, because of a simple dialectic: one has power; the other is disempowered.
The general acceptance of power relations as a rationale for government policy is a major success of cultural Marxism. The middle-class graduate class has taken to Leftist dogma, because the arc of social justice can be bent to its own ends. Graced with intellect and social status, feminists of privileged background are exploiting the simplistic gender power dichotomy to advance their careers. They show little concern for the genuinely powerless, such as the girls raped by mainly Pakistani grooming gangs, or the homeless men they pass outside their office block.
ITV news anchorman Tom Bradby, writing on the pros and cons of social media in the Evening Standard, glibly stated: ‘From the lecherous MPs of Westminster to the world of those who hide their money away in offshore tax havens, there is no hiding place any more for those who abuse their power.’ But what if someone was falsely accused? Or if the alleged misdemeanour was simply an overfriendly remark blown out of proportion? Mr Bradby should consider how he would feel if placed in the line of fire himself. Malicious allegations could be made and organisations, particularly since the Weinstein scandal, automatically suspend the accused. Would one, in that situation, be enjoying one’s sense of power?
