Diversity means, when the left teaches it, the people responsible for building america and maintaining it get the short end of the stick from now on. with this singular american culture that people came and wanted to be part of, they were proud, couldn't wait to become americans, tears in their eyes when it happened. it was a special place. defending it now, defending that america, defending our cultural, defending our founding, defending all of the things that made this country great is now called racism or xenophobia or hate.

Patriarchy is not men. patriarchy is a system in which both women and men participate. it privileges, inter alia, the interests of boys and men over the bodily integrity, autonomy, and dignity of girls and women. it is subtle, insidious, and never more dangerous than when women passionately deny that they themselves are engaging in it.
