One kind of fanatic wants to compel all women to wear the burqa. Another kind of fanatic wants to make them bear their breasts.
J. Budziszewski
On the Meaning of Sex – pg. 96
With this quote, I wonder if those two seemingly opposite fanatics that Budziszewski sets before us have more in common with each other than one might initially think. Neither fanatic can control themselves. The former fanatic demonstrates his lack of self control regarding women by forcing them to wear blankets as fashion. The latter fanatic demonstrates his lack of self control regarding women by creating a bordello cultural climate.
The former fanatic handles his urges puritanically by attributing them entirely to the object of his lust. His slogan is, “Women are the problem. Let’s put horse blankets on them.” The latter handles his urges like a libertine by venting them with impunity. His slogan is, “There is no problem. The more whorish the better.”
Each make the woman his tool and both lie to the woman that each solution will provide “freedom” for the woman. Neither man considers the possibility that the problem lies within them and their lack of self control.
