Titania the Great …

… Laughter the best medicine | Standpoint. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

In the essay “Why I’m No Longer Taking to Men About Feminism,” McGrath drops feminist bombs all over the patriarchy: “I would rather be boiled alive in a giant crucible of yak’s piss than have a man look at me without my consent.” She bemoans the fact that “fourth-wave feminism has yet to eradicate male sexuality in its entirety.” (Give it time, Titania!) And she gets right to the heart of the matter — the most important tenet of the fourth wave, the commandment that all woke scolds must abide by: “I believe all women. All of them. Under all circumstances.” The very notion that one half (the superior half) of the human population would be capable of deceit is the most hateful and toxic idea that still gets disseminated through our culture. McGrath knows this. She is trying to save us from the tyranny of being sceptical and asking for evidence.
