Authoritarian Wounding as a Feminist Issue
Why authoritarians, both male and female, are anti-women.
Authoritarians are characteristically anti-women. It seems not to matter if the authoritarian is male or female: he or she is still typically anti-women. This makes authoritarian wounding a feminist issue as well as a human issue. We might try to explain this predilection by speculating that authoritarians simply find women easy prey. But the answer is more complicated than that, having to do with the “sexual sadism” component of the authoritarian personality, the authoritarian’s peculiarly violent hatred of girls and women, and his or her intense need to punish girls and women. There is something “special” going on here and women had better take notice.
