The main problem with his criticism of conservative antifeminist critics like Inez Stepman and Helen Andrews etc is that he assumes they assume their theories are purely scientific vs explanatory models, which are incomplete by definition. In other words, in spite of its own claims to levelheadedness and impartiality, it inevitably devolves into personal attacks over their level of investment in “blaming women.” Even if there’s some truth to what he’s saying, I don’t see how this should be disqualifying since the main utility of their case is showing how a relatively small number of knowledge jobs have had an outsize impact on the culture by laundering bad economic and immigration policy. One of the most retarded things that everyone seems to take for granted is this idea that your polemic counts for less if you’re invested in it since all polemics, good or bad, obviously come from some sense of personal alienation or frustration. This is not the same as the classic woman move of making it about yourself and your personal grievances. I’m sure if he really thought about it, he’d have to grant that it’s funny how this only seems to apply when you have an agenda of your own. “DoorDash and nannies are subsidized by the government by allowing illegal immigrants to come into the country so women can work, wtf did you just say???” Of course he saves his greatest outrage for one claim that should be uncontroversial on its face since it’s functionally how things work. It would’ve been more honest if he’d just called her a pickme.

The practical result of MeToo is a sexual morality more radical, puritanical, and anti-human than anything the right-wing can imagine. It's Prohibition on alcohol, Prohibition on sex, no sex between neighbors or coworkers or rich and poor, tall or short, white and asian...
