More successful men will mean more happy citizenry and a stronger nation…Such medicated, quarrelsome, and meddlesome women gain their meaning through the seeming participation in the global project. They are agents of the new world – but not new life. Such women are now the backbone of every left-wing cosmopolitan party in the Western world.
