In either case they are to be ignored, not debated.

Some of these self-hating women have become frighteningly influential. I am thinking in particular of Christina Hoff Sommers, Camille Paglia and Ella Whelan, a trio of gorgons of the most oleaginous kind who should never, in any civilised society, be offered a platform to air their dangerous views. Here are some examples:

Women are not children. We are not fragile little birds who can’t cope with jokes, works of art, or controversial speakers. Trigger warnings and safe spaces are an infantilizing setback for feminism – and for women.

Christina Hoff Sommers

The problem with too much current feminism, in my opinion, is that even when it strikes progressive poses, it emanates from an entitled, upper-middle-class point of view. It demands the intrusion and protection of paternalistic authority figures to project a hypothetical utopia that will be magically free from offense and hurt.

Camille Paglia

Perpetually portraying women as weak and vulnerable, at every turn, contemporary feminism undermines women’s autonomy.

Ella Whelan
