That is the corrosive paradox of gender feminism’s misandrist stance: no group of women can wage war on men without at the same time denigrating the women who respect those men.

We are turning against boys and forgetting a simple truth: that the energy, competitiveness, and corporal daring of normal, decent males is responsible for much of what is right in the world.

A fair and just society offers equality of opportunity to all. But it cannot promise, and should not try to enforce, sameness.

Truth brought to public light recruits the best of us to work for change. On the other hand, even the best-intentioned “noble lie” ultimately discredits the finest of causes.
