Nice piece on our emergent rulers https://www.city-journal.org/article/a-rising-counter-elite

What’s not mentioned here is the disturbing attitudes towards women among this group. One controversial prediction is that I believe it is possible I will lose my right to vote in my lifetime — they will repeal the 19th. 

I do wish Balaji had taken the FDA job. His vision is very compelling.

I'm not *actually* pro repeal-the-19th but ironically it would actually serve my overall set of policy preferences better

Yes, exactly this. It feels incredibly regressive, and it’s scary to me. And I resent the position I am in where I have to choose between my own rights and starting new institutions

There’s certainly a bunch on the right who’ve advocated for taking away the right to vote for women (while simultaneously wanting their kids to have the right to vote they would control so they get bonus votes). Won’t ever happen but disturbing that it’s being discussed.

That's why the stakes are so high for this and every election with the rise of extremism against women and other minority groups. Even if they are pushed back in this cycle, they will keep coming. This is an ideology and will take generations to stamp out.

Anyone who tries to take the rights of my sisters or any of my female friends will go through me first
