Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals. - C.S. Lewis
What I think we are experiencing is a feminine tyranny. Feminists seem to think that if they were in charge, everything (that men do wrong) would be fixed and the world would be peaceful and we'd all sing fucking kumbai ya. But, women are biologically tuned to the care of infants. That means acute threat vigilance and risk minimisation, even at the expense of missed opportunities. Women (especially childless women) are not equipped to lead, but they think they can.
