[American Thinker] As a psychologist, I have tried to understand the phenomenon of what is casually termed “crazy liberal women,” or “AWFLs” (Affluent White Female Liberals) — those obnoxious, shrieking, irrational, intensively hateful, intrusive women whose mouths are a verbal sewer and who are forever drawing attention to themselves. One cannot view the women of The View, for example, without recognizing that there is something seriously wrong with them.
I may be able to shed some light on these creatures, but we should first examine some instances where they manifest their irrationality.
The appearance of these bizarre women and others like them, with their COEXIST bumper stickers, has been noted by sane individuals, with one writer calling them “a plague upon Western society.” Not a hyperbole. After all, it’s hard not to notice them, nor their corrosive effect on society. (For example, Laura Helmuth as editor in chief of Scientific American, Kathleen Kennedy at Disney, and Susan Goldberg at National Geographic).
One of the things about them that is interesting to me, as a psychologist, is their utter lack of self-awareness as to how bizarrely they act, even when it is patently self-destructive, as with those women with suicidal empathy. In the rare instances they do become aware, it is a painful experience. Phyllis Chesler, a prominent feminist and psychologist, admitted that many of her fellow activists who were the giants of second-wave feminism were insane — not flaky, but clinically psychotic (think Andrea Dworkin). Long before I became aware of Chesler, I came to the same conclusion on reading the writings in feminist journals; they were unquestionably the ramblings of psychotic persons. Along the same line, look at FEMEN, a group of French liberal women who demonstrate topless, put on a Hitler moustache, and give the Nazi salute while shrieking — all this as a demonstration against imagined Nazism.
Just think back on the Brett Kavanaugh hearings. They are the women who suddenly “remember” having been raped 20 years ago by some prominent conservative.
Whether one excludes “persons of color” or not from the equation, the majority of persons in DIE are Affluent White Female Liberals. The job description dovetails with the female instinct for sticking their noses into other people’s business, for telling others how to behave, and for nagging.
And then there are the apolitical “Karens” — women who are likewise, aggressive, obnoxious, irrational, shrieking, and intrusive. Unlike the AWFLs, they have become something of a joke. Yet their similarity is striking.
However, there is one branch of this phenomenon that is not as blatantly dramatic, or rather is not as loud. Think of the proliferation of female teachers seducing their students. Think of those Western women who have converted to the anti-woman, oppressive Islamic religion. Think of the countless cases of where a woman falsely accused men of rape (some still rotting in prison). Think of the mostly single mothers who turn their children into transgender.
