Modernity has much to offer, but in terms of gender many people are still confused. On one of my YouTube videos I have trolls masturbating themselves like nobody's business because there is a female philosopher -- Luce Irigaray -- who seems to be stepping out of her proper feminine bounds by saying things in a way that people can't immediately understand. (It seems the obligation of women everywhere is to be immediately understandable or risk extreme male wrath and put-downs regarding one's intellectual acumen.) The trolls are in terror because to their mind, Irigaray is a "postmodernist".
And then we have actual postmodernism preaching its extreme cultural relativism, in terms of which "honor" killings and female genital mutilation are A-OK.
