It’s interesting how human thought always follows parallel tracks even in supposedly positionally opposed groupings.
Blasphemy is profaning the sacred. “Triggers” in Tumblr-speak and its outgrowths is the broaching of taboo topics that violate the supposed sensitivities of various assumed-to-be traumatized groups.
However different these may seem, both evolved eventually to achieve the same end: to control the ideological direction of thought and to proscribe any out of bounds thinking on any issue.
Humans shamble down the same worn paths time after time. It gets a bit boring, really.
My favorite observation is that much of modern American ‘feminism’ is retreat to traditional femininity (culturally defined). They seem especially fond of the traditional female role of mediator of social relations in polite society with fine-grained rules of etiquette and protocol backed up with social ostracism for violators.
Trigger warnings and content notes are the new rules on which fork to use.
Yes, agreed — feminism has mostly gone from revolution and separatism to reinforcing of patriarchal and societally-approved modes of existence (gay marriage as well).
