The Rule Slalom
By Mitch Berg
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
Victorian women were sheltered, modest, protected from anything that might upset them.
Hedonists are people living non-traditional lifestyles, the fringe that became hippies proclaiming free sex, free love, free drugs to expand your consciousness and blow your mind while you let it all hang out.
Modern women want to be Victorian Hedonists – they want to drink until they pass out at frat parties but not be scolded when the obvious bad thing happens. They want a free college education but must be protected from books that threaten their narrow worldview. They demand to be admitted to men’s clubs on equality grounds, then demand to exclude men from safe spaces reserved for women.
It’s either a completely new philosophy or it’s mental illness, I’m not expressing an opinion. My question: is Victorian Hedonism the basis for a sustainable society, or a harbinger of doom?

These days, you’d be nuts to bet against “harbinger”.

Never mind women, JD. You just described all modern libturds.

I am reminded of when I tell my kids something and emphasize it with “this is not a ‘daddy likes it this way’ issue; this is a safety issue!”, and the response is that somebody got away with it.
Well, yes, this time. And if your friends all told you to jump off a cliff….?

Another thought was that the Victorian hedonists might do well to go full Victorian and at least wear a corset while in debauch. That would reduce the amount of wine coolers/alcopop they could drink and protect them from its effects. Tight-laced, of course.
