'This is the central paradox of radical sexual ideology: Even as it demands ever-greater sexual freedoms, each new freedom comes with a corresponding criminal punishment.'

For males. Corresponding punishment for MALES. Not for the Almighty Victims (females). That is the whole point of weaponizing the justice sistem, after all. To use the institutions of the State to control, demean, and punish the males of our feminist societies, for their crime of being toxically male and not sufficiently under the power of the nearest female.

What the past 150 years of increasing female empowerment yielded was government, courts, media, education, and religion as tools of the feminist establishment. A gynarchy, in all but name.

True, though some women do fall afoul of the matriarchy, if they refuse to tow the party line. And sometimes the roles are reversed in family court, and the woman loses her children through literally "no fault" of her own (often the father is a lawyer). But I agree: The women are seldom criminalized and jailed by false accusations or child support, though I would not preclude the possibility. The point is not men versus women but justice versus injustice.

'It is resisted mostly by older people, conservatives, and religious believers, who find their status and influence decreased as a result.'

No, they find the quality of their nations -- and of course their lives -- decreased as a result. The Christian portion also object to the rebellion against God the Father that is at core of feminism and woke (just P.C. with a fancier word).

When I see a feminist do something vile, I don't first think oh no, my status has now been reduced. I think what a malicious thing to do, and gauge how it will affect heaven and earth.

I've skimmed through this, so thank you for the opportunity Stephen.

As a homosexual, I was glad to read this: Some also refer to “homosexual-ism” – not homosexual practice itself, but homosexual political advocacy, framed as an ideology.

In one way I'm trying to 'just live my life here' whilst surrounded by Activists of varying intensity (my intensity for activism lies more in Ayn Rands Direction and that is often not understood well...).

I will leave it at that and hopefully get to read your paper. Thank you.

Karalan defines it clearly: "equality" is a demand for undefined powers or totalitarian powers.

I studied revolutions as "victimisations" (victimisims ?) and found they are cycles. Victims don't want equality but revenge, unlimited powers and personal profits. There is always a reversal (a turning point() in them. From Valmy to Waterloo, from Soviet workers to nomenklaturas ...and nowadays from Biden to Trump. They are the most dangerous times ! We can expect troubles and wars.

I have another explanation for feminisim: a globalization 's byproduct !

Big Firms having invested in China (1971 Nixon in China, now, The World factory) . They wanted big returns.

They needed wealthy consumers in USA and Europe: WOMEN.

Thanks to clever politicians (All feminists in the 1970th !) they contrived laws to "liberate" women from marriage and abortion (Roe and Wade 1973)

And 2 generations later a reversal in 2024.

But can we stop endless "victimisations" ?

Thank you Stephen. I had never made some of those connections and they are important. This is one I will have to ponder a while.

"demands for “equality” are in reality demands for power."

Demands for undefineable rights from the state are in reality demands for power, in many more arenas than feminisim and equality. Such demands give power to both the demanders and to the state, while diminishing or eliminating any actual rights such as those conferred by the constitution.
