Entry: Waiting for Agitprop Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/waiting_for_agitprop#24397 Post contents: <i>The liberal intellectuals I know and those whom I have recently read on the subject hate polygamy as much as Lowry does, for being incompatible with their feminist views.</i> Although this would be accompanied with vehement denials, the neo-cons and much of the 'conservative' establishment are feminists as well. The only difference between much of the 'conservative' establishment and liberals is that one is more sympathatic to misandry. <i>Monogamy, Lowry asserts, is necessary to nurture “democratic equality,” seeing that polygamy creates a hierarchy in which “older higher status men take as many women as possible.”</i> At least he confesses that the extended family or tribe is one institution that can impede State hegemony. Some would consider that a feature rather than a defect. Sent at: 2008 12 02
