Abigail Shrier is Not Waiting for the Pendulum to Swing Back on Gender Ideology

Little Miss Trouble, at The Truth Fairy.

I get very frustrated in general when people I know insist that Woketarianism will inevitably go into remission. That's what we thought about it when it took over universities in the late '80s. It did go into remission. Then it burst upon the scene again crazier and more powerful than ever. And now the Democrats are writing it into laws and reengineering institutions in accordance with it. It has gained an enormous amount of ground, and consolidated those gains. Instead of lazily assuming that "the pendulum will swing back," you need to be worrying about whether it's even possible to push the crazy back to its original borders even with a massive, directed effort. It may not be possible. Some of its gains may be permanent. The Overton Window may be permanently shifted.
