...extremes ought not to be practiced by one who has gone forth from the household life....There is addiction to indulgence of sense-pleasures, which is low, coarse, the way of ordinary people, unworthy, and unprofitable; and there is addiction to self-mortification, which is painful, unworthy, and unprofitable. Avoiding both these extremes, the Perfect One has realized the Middle Path; it gives vision, gives knowledge, and leads to calm, to insight, to enlightenment.... -- Buddha "Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta" Let your moderation be known to all men. -- Philippians 4:5 NKJVBut enough about moderation, and the liberal lack thereof. Let me get into the meat of this article by pointing out that, generally speaking, liberal women don't do well when left to think on their own--such un-herd-like behavior is discouraged among the collectivist milieu. Like docile cows, liberal women go where they are told. "This way Betsy, that a girl." They are told where to go via the same propaganda venues as their friends (NPR, NY Times, LA Times, WaPo, etc.) and the herd moves as one. It's the cookie-cutter mentality of the collectivist -- be they communist, fascist, globalist, or whatever. The realization that the collectivist model always ends in bloodshed and failure seems to be beyond the individual cow's ability to comprehend--or perhaps they have an unconscious compulsion to visit the slaughterhouse. Whatever. Women (liberal women) are of course a "protected species" under the rules of Identity Politics (one of the more asinine gambits of liberaltopia), which posits the quaint if absurd proposition that a person is praiseworthy simply because of their gender (or lack thereof), skin color, sexual proclivities, or breakfast cereal preference. But God help you if you are Caucasian, because if you are, then you are automatically saddled with the shameful burden of "white privilege"--shame, shame on you. To understand, that is to fully grok, this groovy sounding if vile racist phrase is apparently beyond the liberal female's capacity to process--poor dears. (Perhaps something of a moot point, as liberals are rapidly approaching the time when they can safely dispense with women altogether).
People ask me if I have some kind of death wish, to keep saying the things I do. The answer is no: I would like to keep living. However, some things must be said, and there are times when silence becomes an accomplice to injustice. Tolerance of intolerance is cowardice. -- Ayaan Hirsi AliOr as Dietrich Bonhoeffer (who died in a Nazi concentration camp) put it: "Silence in the face of evil is itself evil." Brandeis, to its lasting shame, punished Ms. Ali for speaking truth to power. But in liberaltopia truth is considered hate speech--as numerous conservative women can attest to after being shouted down, threatened, and told to shut up at numerous indoctrination centers (AKA college campuses) across America. Free speech is not welcome in liberaltopia. If what you say is not in alignment with the official liberal narrative you will be silenced, with violence if necessary. A growing number of Trump supporters have come to understand just how intolerant the Left truly is--and the Trump supporter's "crime" isn't even speaking truth, it's merely listening to truth. I long ago lost any respect I had for the feminist movement due to their near total silence regarding the more misogynistic elements in Islam. Liberal feminists were told to keep quiet about such things and they have meekly submitted. Female genital mutilation, child brides, being treated as worthless chattel or pampered pets? The feminist's answer to these and similar practices is crickets chirping. Code Pink showed the way--no matter what the provocation never, never, NEVER criticize Islam in any way, shape, or form! Thank God for strong, courageous, conservative women like Pamella Geller, Brigitte Gabriel, and the late martyr for truth Oriana Fallaci. Speaking of Code Pink--according to an article by Baron Bodissey, because of the frequency and number of assaults on women by Muslim "immigrants" a German city is proposing Code Pink Lady Zones on their buses:
As you all know, culturally enriched incidents of sexual harassment, molestation, and rape have reached epidemic proportions in German cities. A city councillor in Regensburg has decided to get serious about protecting his city's women, and is proposing a tough, no-nonsense solution to the issue of sexual violence by refugees: he wants to establish women-only zones on city buses. And mark them in pink, in case any of the would-be molesters are unable to read German, English, Arabic, Turkish, Urdu, Swahili, etc."Make your way to the pink area at the back of the bus ladies!" Shades of Jim Crow -- you've come a long way baby...not. I suppose such a proposal is a step up from the female mayor (liberal need I add) of Cologne, Germany who chastised women assault victims for provoking their attackers by walking too close to them. Bad girls--but apparently not as bad as they are in Sweden. Sweden is now Europe's rape capital, thanks to a massive influx of "refugees." In fact, Sweden is in the running to become the rape capital of the world. It is currently in 2nd place, but give the liberal Swedish media and political elites half a chance and they'll be sure to garner the coveted #1 spot in no time. They must covet becoming the rape capital of the world or else how do you explain their callous disregard for the safety of Swedish women, and the liberal Swedish women's meek acquiescence to their status as sexual prey? An article by Daniel Greenfield notes that "1 in 4 Swedish Women Will Be Raped as Sexual Assaults Increase 500%." Very bad girls indeed. The lunacy of the Left ofttimes leaves me scratching my head in wonder. For example, I have read several reports of European women apologizing for being raped by Muslim "immigrants." How pathetically twisted is that! Apologizing to the man (or men) who beat and sexually abused you? Jesus wept. One German rape victim wrote: "You [the Muslim rapist] are not safe because we live in a racist society." She then went on to say that she was not safe because she lived in a sexist society. Note the typical liberal leitmotif of always pointing an accussing finger away from oneself, and never taking personal responsibility for anything negative that happens to them. It is always his fault, her fault, their fault, society's fault--NEVER their fault. Personal reponsibility is a foreign concept that does not compute. The jarring lack of self-esteem and self-respect that these women's wretched attitudes imply is frightening. What kind of warped female psyches has liberalism wrought?

We need a younger generation that's prepared to grow a backbone, go out into the world, take risks and make difficult decisions. Otherwise the future doesn't bode well for any of us.Is it really any wonder that the precious little snowflakes are so screwed up? The unrelentingly negative nit-pick-pick-picking of Critical Theory all but guarantees that they will be ashamed of their country (or at least not proud of it); eco-nuts assure them that they are a blight upon the earth whose every poisonous breath damages nature; science-fiction TV shows and movies tell them that in the "enlightened" future the status of women will have sunk to the point where they have to co-opt masculine honorifics in order to command respect--"Yes sir. Right away sir!" Secular humanism and moral relativism leave them with no moral compass to steer by -- indeed no direction to steer toward except ultimately nihilism and suicidal despair. Multiculturalism teaches them that no person, no society, is better or worse than another--the Marquis de Sade is on a par with Mother Teresa; Caligula with Gandhi. Last but not least, liberal women are proudly supporting a woman for president who is a world-class liar under investigation by the FBI and known for enabling a serial sexual predator for decades. Woo hoo! How proud liberal women must be. (Say, did anyone happen to find that six billion dollars that went missing from the State Department during Hillary's watch? "Oh that little thing?" Yes, that one). I could go on ad nauseum listing the pathology of liberal women, but you get the idea. I suppose I could (reluctantly) applaud their ability to keep their heads from exploding due to severe cognitive dissonance, but I consider that to be a dubious achievement at best. Granted, balancing supercilious arrogance with professional victimhood might appear at first blush to be an impressive feat, but once you realize that they have been socially engineered to function that way the shine loses its luster. It's simply the way they've been programed. As I watch liberal women continually poke, poke, poke at the foundations of America, or whatever country has the misfortune to house them, I thank God for confident, patriotic, self-reliant conservative women. I salute all conservative women, your free spirits are beautiful!
