I couldn't agree more with Dr. Fiamengo's assessment of "the corrosive victim-power that we have granted to women to destroy men’s lives." It does indeed harm women psychologically. In fact, it calls to mind the Stanford prison experiment of 1971, where participants were randomly assigned the role of guard or prisoner in a simulated prison environment. The "guards," knowing full well that the "prisoners" were study participants just like them, nonetheless began to treat them with such brutality, to degrade them, and to torture them mentally and emotionally to a point where the experiment had to be shut down. Feminism has attempted to transfer this experiment to the real world, ascribing to women--like the randomly selected guards--a moral superiority that authorizes and justifies the vilification and degradation of the "other"--men, in this case--for no reason beyond feminism having proclaimed it so. I don't believe that women are less moral than men, but I do believe that feminism's toxic messaging has the power to corrupt women's moral core and to induce behavior that they would find repugnant if they were outside the noxious "logic" of the twisted environment feminism seeks to erect around them. The participants in the prison experiment suffered long-term psychological damage, and our culture has exhibited similar signs of damage. Like the experiment, it should be shut down as quickly as possible.
