This pertains to the whole BS of demanding sensitivity and making sensitivity out to have a political meaning. The naive assumption is that the more sensitive we can become, the better for all involved, but I am of the opposite opinion, that if we have a clear and overarching social order (something akin to absolutism) we can avoid the worst traits of human infantile regression into paranoia, fear and blame. I’m very much not of the view that having any sort of power or respect for one’s own values is negative. To be even clearer, I see patriarchal authority as being predicated, more often than not, on an extreme form of infantilism — the fear of women. The agenda of heightening sensitivity is in exact opposition to any feminist outcome.
