Feminism's Kampf

US Army T-shirt design meant to discourage domestic violence.

This study shares the standard flaw in such studies—of asking only one of two sexes about a matter involving both. And of course, it is always the women, not the men, who are asked. This is obviously discriminatory, and obviously distorts the data.

Nevertheless, it shows that domestic violence is twice as likely to be reported by women in two-income households as in households in which only the man works.

No further analysis is needed to say that feminism is directly reponsible for a sharp increase in domestic violence.

This is an example of the problem, previously mentioned on this blog, of conflict caused by a lack of clear job descriptions in a marriage. It's inevitable.

But I think an additional consideration is also present. Women who work outside the home will be women with feminist values, women who have personally embraced the feminist agenda. Part of the feminist thesis is that marriage is purely a power relationship, in which the two sexes are mortal enemies. Rather as Hitler described interstate relations.

You convince people they are in a war, and they are going to act as though they are in a war.

The wonder is that anyone should wonder.
