George Jonas on the “horror” of female teachers and babysitters “raping” teenaged boys:
The first liberal folly is mindless egalitarianism, insisting on treating men and women as if they were identical, which they aren’t. Equal yes, identical no. It’s a big difference.
The next liberal trend is the feminization of males as a matter of social policy. Among other things, it consists of pretending that male vulnerabilities in sexual matters are the same as female ones and require the same protection, which is nonsense.
As for the conservative folly, it’s just a general neo-Victorian backlash, rebounding after the baboon-like permissiveness of the 1960s and 1970s. That’s indeed Aunt Prissy’s ghost hovering in the rafters, trying to resurrect whatever moral strictures it can, in a kind of pathetic attempt to close the barn door after the horse is gone.
