Shifting cultural norms have consequences that take years to appear, and while the conceit of the left is that behavior can be guided, that is laughably incorrect. Man’s social behavior is far too complex to assume that changing X will lead to Y and Z. The real goal of the left is simply to change behavior for the worse…moving it away from traditional roles and toward the chaos that they seek.
The destruction of the perceived differences between men and women, while simultaneously crediting women with all of the physical and martial skills of men may be their greatest triumph. Shifting the default of women away from their natural behavior — child-bearing and rearing — and toward some simulacrum of clownish masculinity has produced a culture that is hilariously ignorant of reality. That five-foot tall, 110 pound woman who kicks the crap out of multiple attackers is amusing to watch in a movie, but has no link to the real world. It simply doesn’t work that way!
But even more ridiculous is the expectation among the woke ignoramuses that women have the capacity and right to confront men physically, but men will be handcuffed by the traditional mores of a bygone era, and will not respond in kind. Of course those traditional rules apply only to women who behave traditionally.
So we have women behaving like men, and men expected to behave like women.
Except when it doesn’t work out quite as planned.
Liberals are mad because ICE removed this woman that was blocking law enforcement https://t.co/f6Y22lqkAG— Defiant L’s (@DefiantLs) October 31, 2026
I watched that clip about 17 times, because it makes me chuckle. This middle-aged AWFL was confident that the social construct of the empowered woman was sufficient to protect her from the real-world consequences of her actions which, when examined, were nothing more than a physical confrontation with law enforcement.
And she lost.
Which is to be expected in about 99% of these cases. The time and place for confrontation with law enforcement is when one is before a judge, not on the street. Oh, she thought that because her cause was just and good and approved by the bien-pensants that she would be safe from the physical consequences of her physical act. She was wrong, but her expectation was reasonable because that is what our culture has taught her!
And those lessons can be seen across the country in thousands of these sorts of interactions. The earnest but deluded leftist who knocks over a pro-life organization’s table at a demonstration is shocked…SHOCKED…to be handcuffed and taken to jail. The septuagenarian lunatic in NH who slaps a Turning Point Action volunteer is stunned by the perfectly reasonable result…arrest!
In the old America, most people understood that physical confrontation often led to a punch on the nose or a trip to jail, and that is why girls and women shied away from that sort of behavior. But the rules have changed, and not for the better. Perhaps America needs to return to a time when violence was allowed to develop according to those ancient and rather clever rules.
Does that mean that traditional roles are better than the chaos we have today? Absolutely, and those roles were a big part of keeping our society reasonably civil, at least in comparison to the current insanity.
Now get off my lawn!
