“American liberty is being destroyed by Marxist doctrines that explain society in terms of hegemonic and oppressed groups - whether classes, races or genders - fighting for suzerainty. In these societies spun out of Marxist theorizing, good will does not exist, only the material interests of warring groups. Morality resides in the oppressed, but if the oppressed succeed in becoming hegemonic, their claim to moral supremacy evaporates.” IfsDoeFightingTermInterestRaceLibertyMoralClassGroupsMaterialsBecomingMoralitySucceedClaimsGenderDoctrineDestroyedOppressedGood WillSupremacyMarxistSpunAmerican Liberty Author:Paul Craig Roberts
“claims about what's 'natural' have long been used to reinforce traditional gender roles and values. ... Even the notion that women should have children at all is based on the idea that a woman's inherent and most important role is that of mother. Shockingly, men's 'innate' roles are a lot more fun than the ones bestowed on women.” MenShouldChildrenLongImportantIdeasUsedMotherValuesFunNaturalRolesShould HaveClaimsNotionGenderTraditionalSexismInherentInnateGender Roles Author:Jessica Valenti
“I don't agree with a core statement by most feminists, the statement by Simone de Beauvoir: "One is not born a woman, one becomes one."

“There is too much ideological conformity in gender studies. The true-believers fashion the theories, write the textbooks and teach the students. When journalists, policymakers, and legislators address topics such as the wage gap, gender and education, or women's health, they turn to these experts for enlightenment. For the most part, they peddle misinformation, victim politics, and sophistry. They claim that their teachings represent the academic consensus, but that is only because they have excluded all dissenters.” WritingTurnsTeachStudyToo MuchTeachingFashionStudentsTheoryEnlightenmentClaimsVictimGenderBelieverJournalistExpertsAddressesGapsConformityAcademicTopicsConsensusIdeologicalTextbooksLegislatorsExcludedMisinformationTrue BelieverSophistryWomen's Health Author:Christina Hoff Sommers
“Let's not forget that for thousands of years the institution of marriage has been between a man and a woman. Until quite recently, in a limited number of countries, there has been no such thing as a marriage between persons of the same gender. Suddenly we are faced with the claim that thousands of years of human experience should be set aside because we should not discriminate in relation to the institution of marriage. When that claim is made, the burden of proving that this step will not undo the wisdom and stability of millennia of experience lies on those who would make the change.” MenShouldYearsHumansPersonsHas BeensMadeCountryLyingForgetNumbersStepsProveClaimsRelationInstitutionsBurdenGenderStabilityHuman Experience Author:Dallin H.

“I say the law should be blind to race, gender and sexual orientation, just as it claims to be blind to wealth and power.
