An N Things Post: N=2, Politics

You cannot reply to accusations that your side doesn’t have a vision of family and sexual morals with morals involving economic justice and war. Yes, those are moral values. But the war seems far away and economy too far out of control. Gender issues and family issues are things that are part of every person’s life.

Liberals can’t see [the Republican success from endorsing machismo (I mishmashed the quotes a bit here, one paragraph from each post --y)] because of the distancing of liberalism from feminism. Liberal men are invested in the male mystique, too, and don’t want to openly align themselves with “feminized” politics of equality. We don’t speak the essential language of gender and we get our asses kicked repeatedly.

Not much to say other than “Yaaaaaa! Grr!” – it’s an oversimplified framework, but I’m not giving in to the urge to marginalize feelings of righteous anger in favor of fitting this post into the conventional point-counterpoint. It’s a bullshit dialectic, yo.
