The trouble with ideologues is their simplemindedness. Communists saw a world
full of evil: Conniving capitalists arrayed against virtuous, long-suffering
proletarians. Fascists saw the world divided between master and inferior races.
Modem feminists see violent, aggressive, uncivilized men victimizing helpless,
innocent, peace-loving women. It is the mark of small minds that they seek to
eradicate nuance and complexity.
The fact that an idea is foolish, however, is no guarantee against its general
approbation. Writing in the summer issue of the Virginia-based Women's
Quarterly, Sally Satel assays the state of domestic-violence treatment and finds
that the feminist understanding of the phenomenon has triumphed.
