Conservatives, TradCats included, are a bunch of feminists. From Sexual Power in Utopia by F. Roger Devlin
One response I received is so remarkable that I must quote it. Several times over the course of these essays I have referred to Thomas Fleming as a good representative of Christian traditionalism. I once made a half-hearted attempt politely to introduce some of my ideas on a Chronicles website discussion thread, suggesting that he and similar writers might profit from studying unconstrained female sexuality directly (as opposed to theological pronouncements on sexual morality or historical family law). I was told that I was a “misogynist” due my personal “difficulties with women,” that I was guilty of “demean[ing] the character of women” and “indulg[ing] in fantasies about female sexuality” and that the “this is not the place to air [my] grievances.” Farther along he added: I know too well how many Men’s Movement androgynes are looking for a reason to get back at the women who have ruined their lives. I am warning them from the outset that there is no place in this discussion for their battered egos, wounded vanities, and whining exaltations of a male supremacy . . . etc., etc. Fleming is acknowledged even by his admirers to be a bit of a nut, but his bizarre ad hominem overreaction mirrors the weaknesses of too many traditional conservatives.
