“Assume with all the cool kids that your grandparents’ sexual mores were infra dig (as the kids say today) and terminally unhip, and the end results will be dottier than a three-day convention of Dalmatian owners.”

Reactionaries and Their Discontents
Introduction: In times of turbulent churn, one of the things you can usually anticipate is even more turbulence, especially from young men. Their reactions are often predictable, and therefore rational in one sense, while their selected scapegoat targets, upon which they vent, are often arbitrary and capricious.

RPM Running Hot
“The people running the world are fools. Now many of them, no doubt, did well on their GREs. The tachometer in their little red convertible of a brain can bounce nicely at the right side of the dial. But that does not change the fact that they are barreling down the wrong road late at night, a dark and stormy night actually, and the bridge right up ahead of them is out. Once they launch the whole red operation off the end of that collapsed bridge, the tachometer, such as it is, becomes largely irrelevant. One does not glance at it anymore. One has somehow lost interest.”

Outlawing Good Men
“A return to sanity will be a return to an unapologetic acceptance of the fact that men are of necessity going to be dominant. They only choice we have as a society is between whether the dominance is going to be constructive or destructive. Because the poobahs in charge have spent the last generation or so outlawing every form of constructive male dominance they can identify, we are now discovering that—far from empowering women—they have actually empowered destructive male dominance. Put another way, when constructive male dominance is outlawed, only outlaws will have male dominance.”

Men Guarding Against Men
“Women really do need to be protected and guarded from men. They need this because there really is a thing called toxic masculinity. But the only ones who are capable of protecting women from men are the men. The only thing capable of protecting women from toxic masculinity is masculinity.”
