I suspect that the author feels safe behind a shield of self-righteous political correctness when she makes her ‘blame the white guy first’ accusations. Well, screw political correctness.
Could it be a bubble-up from the sub-cultures themselves?
After all, in rap/hip-hop culture women are nothing more than bitches and ho’s to be used up and discarded. Islam reaches entirely new levels of outrageous misogyny. How about Chinese valuation of girls?
Traditional western culture on the other hand has long held up the concept of a defense of woman’s honor and chivalry as an ideal. Though many feminists have been working very, very hard for decades at discrediting and destroying the value system and the concept of being duty-bound to protect those physically weaker than ourselves, its roots have grown very deep over the past several centuries and the concept isn’t dead yet.
One hypothesis might be that this is the by-product of assaulting, mocking, and rejecting Western (i.e. ‘white’) values play role in what the author perceives? Perhaps assertive multi-culturalism (the inherent contradiction of ‘we’re really all the same but we’re really all different’) is producing a balkanization – for all the superficial posturing to the contrary. Perhaps multi-culturalism’s inherent contradiction of ‘we’re really all the same but we’re really all different’ ultimately reinforces the idea that ‘They aren’t one of us nor do they want to be’. Every time a Jesse Jackson or an Al Shartpon gets in front of a camera, that’s the message I receive from these bozos tribalists. Why does the media champion these bozos instead of the Thomas Sowells?
So, I applaud the Christianity inspired Western values for honoring, standing up, and defending women. It’s very unfashionable, I know – but more groups might want to give it a try before they demand others do it for them.
