Quote:The American Right’s extreme shift to radical woman-hating reflects how the conservative movement’s consistent anti-feminism undergirds its entire project. There can be no ideal conservative society without women upholding the system that keeps them down. However, the American Left and feminist movement have not had a solid response; there has been no broad positive vision of how life would be better in a world without patriarchy and misogyny for everyone. Overall, the Left has been far more disorganized than the Right, resulting in some useful ideological diversity but without the strength to sustain long-term progressive change.
Good point about the Left's disorganization.
