The Next Conservatism #40: Why Sex is Better than Gender
By Stephen Baskerville
May 11, 2006
A problematic question for the next conservatism is the politics of "gender" (formerly known as sex). It is also urgent.
A critical change in the Left over the last few decades has been the shift from the economic to the social and increasingly the sexual. What was once a semi-socialistic attack on property and enterprise has become a social and sexual attack on the family, marriage and masculinity.
The consequences are incalculable. No ideology in human history has been potentially so invasive of the private sphere of life as Feminism. Communists had little respect for privacy. Feminists have made it their main target.
