The Legacy of Feminism

From “Boys Will Be Boys,” by Steve Sailer, in the fall 2005 edition of the Claremont Review of Books:

What’s most striking about Wolfe’s merely semi-satirical portrait of Duke University is how, after 35 years of institutionalized feminism, student sexuality hasn’t evolved into an egalitarian utopia. Instead, it has regressed to something that a caveman would understand—a sexual marketplace where muscles are the measure of the man.

Referencing, of course, Tom Wolfe’s latest novel, I Am Charlotte Simmons.

    You’ll definitely want to check out Tom Wolfe in last week’s “Uncommon Knowledge” interview with Peter Robinson:
