I remember when we thought TSA was going to be a temporary measure in the wake of 9-11, not a new normal. The billion-dollars-a-month airport security system is just the price of living in a perpetual state of war.

I recall a disturbing 90s dinner party where I was scolded for "wasting my plus-one" on a brilliant intellectual instead of "eye candy" to decorate the room for elites.
Then, I trace the lineage of this misogyny to the scientism of figures like Dawkins and Pinker.
