Well it can hardly be denied that he’s left off over-egging the pudding by more than just a soupçon back there, especially with his comments on abortion and having more than one sexual partner, but …

… while he is a Christian Republican firebrand if you can wade through the barrage of hyperbole the core points he makes are pretty much on the button as regards Feminism.

Yes of course, there are plenty of Feminist women who are married and who have children as well, but it’s those very same women who tend to spend half their life tripping over their own inconsistencies and wandering around in a haze of hypocrisy because fundamentally a Feminism carried through to its logical conclusion is incompatible with having a long-term married partner with children.

And while it is pretty much a straight up slur to accuse Feminists of being “sexually deviant” ¹ I think he might well have a point in saying that they are women "who are mentally ill” and "emotionally damaged”. That, after all, is a claim made by many Feminist women.

In fact, I’ve always wondered about that strategy - their claim is often than Patriarchal oppression is what drives women to such emotional distress that they become anorexic, self-harming, depressed etc. etc. but the flip side of this is that you have someone who first tells you that they have a mental fragile state and next tells you to believe them that the cause of their mental disturbance is an invisible network of power that surrounds everything and invades all of our being at all times … errr, which sounds … crazy, right?

Edit: Added: ¹ If it were me, I would have gone for sexually confused as I assume by deviant here he means all those alternative sexual identifiers such as “polyamorous genderqueer” or as he quotes Miriam Mogilevsky “queer, gay, femme, and homoflexible . . . lesbian with exceptions . . . on the asexual spectrum somewhere,” who does not “experience primary sexual attraction,”
