On Saturday, the New York Times published an opinion piece by Alexis Grenell, a Democrat strategist. Had it run even a few years ago, the language it contains would have been shocking; now the piece is only another example of how far that paper (and with it, American culture) has declined.
The essay, written under the red haze of what the author refers to as a “rage headache”, is an indictment of white women for “reproducing whiteness”; i.e. for marrying within their race, and for putting loyalty to their husbands and families above solidarity with other “uteruses” and the Democratic Party. Ms. Grenell refers to this as “this blood pact between white men and white women”, and for the women involved she has nothing but incandescent hatred. I have no doubt at all that she would send them off in boxcars (or tumbrels) if she had the power. (We should take pains to ensure that she and her co-religionists never get it.)
I’ll turn things over to Rod Dreher, who responds here. (See also this commentary, by Chris Reeves at townhall.com.)

Leftists are always shocked and enraged by the obvious. I guess that’s what happens when your theory comes down to the idea that the whole of reality just shouldn’t be.
Yes, there is a kind of “blood pact” between white men and white women. This was called “family” back in the terrifying days of Cis Male White Supremacism. It’s shocking: men and women make babies together, and then they usually end up caring more about their babies and each other than Somalis or Eskimos or barren professors of Women Studies who fantasize about castrating and murdering white men. Come to think of it, I guess that’s how white people came to exist in the first place. Original sin, tainting all of them forever and ever. Pretty sick stuff.
Yes, correct all round. The idea that mere possession of a uterus, without regard to any other trait, should engender (so to speak) a “solidarity” that trumps any attachment to family and kin, is downright hallucinatory. (Ms. Grenell’s screed is also a pertinent reminder of the origin of the word ‘hysteria’.)
“Rage headache”. My God, can you imagine living with this woman?
We know there have always been deranged people out there — and of course the rise of social media means that they will now have a platform. Fine. But for the New York Times to print something like this on its editorial page shows that we are sailing rapidly into uncharted waters. I don’t think they’d have done this even a year or two ago.
Oh, and there’s this: in the article, Ms. Grenell refers to her uterus as a basis for solidarity with women.
Notice the problem there? How long before a TERF war breaks out?
This is hatred bordering on mental illness. I just know the 20th century had one or two episodes of this.
So white men have been Enemy Number One for a couple decades now and it looks like white women or moving up the ladder. Perhaps we could just put all of them in one group and call them white people. Yeah I’m seeing extermination camps in the future. Don’t give up your guns!
