Why does the progressive left want to neuter / emasculate men?

Brave Host Answers Question on Fifty Shades of Liberal Hypocrisy.

RUSH: It’s an offshoot of the feminist movement, and it is all about power. It’s all about taking power away from men. The imagined power that leftists think men have genetically, stronger, taller. Traditions, they’re the breadwinners and of course the females are the nurturers, all of human nature the left finds itself at war with. And when they disapprove or disagree, they set about changing it and eliminating it.

And it’s all about power and raising up women, but it’s also — you know, masculine men are free thinkers, they are independent, they are self-reliant, and all of that is anathema to liberalism, too, which is all about communal everything, and everybody thinking the same, being the same, doing the same, never deviating. So in that circumstance how in the world can those same people praise and promote a book like Fifty Shades of Grey?

Well, for one thing, the woman in the book is totally willing, after a fashion. Maybe not at first. But the second thing is — and I may get into a little bit of trouble here. But a lot of people would look at Fifty Shades and they would say, “That’s soft porn, the book, the movie, that’s almost soft porn.” Now, where on the political spectrum do you find people of that bent, David?

CALLER: On the left.

RUSH: Usually correct. There are exceptions to everything, but that’s where you find them.

RUSH: And when they engage in that kind of stuff, it becomes art, not depravity, and not perversion. It becomes art. They don’t see the contradiction. They can promote filth and perversion and depravity as long as it’s art, and they love irritating people who do not think that it is. And so much of what they do — and do not discount this — much of what they do is irritating people like you and me. They get off on it. They are thrilled by it. They love agitating you. They love throwing things in your face.

CALLER: Regardless, if it’s totally opposite of what they’re trying to say on one side of their face, then turn right around, “Well, this is profitable, let’s make another movie called Book Club.”

RUSH: Right. Hypocrisy totally escapes them. They’re not capable of being hypocrites. Everything they do has a specific reason for it, and it’s justified.
