My feelings about gender abolitionism are pretty much the same as my feelings about postmodernism-guided anticapitalist revolution.

I’m enough a realist to see how much pain and suffering there is under the current regime.  I’m enough of an idealist to think that, with care and insight, we can hope to do better.

But, goddamn, the Big Bad Oppressive System sure does a whole lot of good for a whole lot people. 

So…before you start getting all excited about tearing it down, maybe make sure you know what’s going to replace it.  And then make sure we know.  Because otherwise there’s no way in hell we can trust you.

“Unleash massive carnage, and then wing it” is not an acceptable plan.
