"It cannot see that the “toxic masculinity” it decries extended the lifespans of Afghan women and shielded them from their would-be rapists and enabled their daughters to go to school." This is such an amazing observation from this writer that I had to quote it and hope many will consider sharing. I would add as I watched the images of the chaos at Kabul airport that many if not the majority of soldiers captured on screen were white kids. White people comforting children, helping the sick and receiving newborns into their arms because Afgani mothers trusted them. But here in my state the new Ethic Studies Curriculum signed into law by the gov says that those white kids are oppressors. That they are the embodiment of all that is evil.

This has worried me for quite a while. At some point the CRT model of society will be felt as a struggle between factions, each for itself... and we know where that can end up.
