Progressive ideology often makes so much “progress” that it leaves behind what was working simply because it’s old.
But if an idea has stood the test of time, only arrogance makes someone believe they have a better way to do things.

The idea of “safe spaces” is unfortunate because it means that bad ideas can never be attacked and killed to make room for better ones.
Just because you don’t like what someone says doesn’t mean they're wrong, and your dissatisfaction with the idea doesn’t mean you’re right.

When everyone around you thinks the same, anyone who disagrees is considered—almost by definition—to hold radical or fringe views.

Looking fwd to this debate on 4/3. Scott & I are both strong critics of modern feminism, but I view our post-industrial tech age as in need of 'a new feminism' (akin to the 1st wave), grounded in our common rational capacities as sharers in the Imago Dei.
