The End of the Age of Benevolence<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

The history of democracy, Marxism and feminism is the history of the snake, which, being hungry for more, stalks its own tail and consumes itself.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Some evenings I sit on the sofa in the family room with my teenage daughter and watch a TV program with her. I leave the choice of the show to her, it matters little to me, and when she finds something she likes she sits next to me, puts her head on my shoulder, and snuggles up for the hour it takes to watch whatever it is she\u2019s chosen.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s our time.<\/p>\n

Occasionally we\u2019ll sneak in another twenty or thirty minutes to the objection of her mother but I like my time with her so I put up with the raised eyebrows and the, \u201cShe\u2019s got school tomorrow,\u201d scoldings. It\u2019s important to me that she knows I love her, that I want to spend time with her and that she feels safe when she is with me. Someday, when she is a grown woman I want her to find a man that will take care of her and protect her like I do. I expect no less from a suitor and neither should she.<\/p>\n

There will be women who read this who will object to my stance. They will say, \u201cShe doesn\u2019t need a man to feel safe or validated or content,\u201d but I would disagree. When she gets older she\u2019ll need a good man, not just any man, and that\u2019s as true today as much as it was ten years, twenty years, fifty years, one hundred years and even one thousand years ago. And it will become even more so as time goes on.<\/p>\n

Indeed, we have reached peak denial in our civilization and whether we like it or not reality is about to make a come back.<\/p>\n
