Women have finally got what they want, which as I understand it, is prominence on the world stage. In a manner they did not seek perhaps, but none the less, last week two images, two archetypes of behaviour leapt in front of us, impossible to ignore.
The one, Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erika, with her doctorate and law degree, resplendent in beauty, swearing to continue his work, while somehow not collapsing in grief and shock. And another, the writer/memoirist/guru Elizabeth Gilbert publishing All the Way to the River, Love, Loss and Liberation, a piece of unmitigated garbage, which is the bitter dead end of Femlit and finding your damned self.
Gilbert, shaven headed, face pasted with a beatific grimace, is the Lady of Compassion, the Bodhisattva postponing her own enlightenment to bring other sentient beings along.
In contrast, Kirk is being identified as the fulfillment of the Esther Prophecy, given by Kim Clement, who predicted her arrival in 2011, and identified the advent of Trump around the same time. I tell ya, if you aren’t paying attention to the intellectual ferment in the evangelical community, you are missing half the sky. Btw, Esther prevents genocide.

For Gilbert's millions of acolytes, spiritual worth, meaning,creative power is found in allyship with the weak, with whom they fully identify. And meaning is also found in hysterical advocacy and fury on behalf of the weak. There is no thinking attached to any of this, no analysis, no study. Just intense emotionality.
Transexuals are the weakest, most fragile members of the educated world. In the rest of the known universe, economic migrants and Palestinians are the weakest and most fragile.
They are therefore elevated to worship status. And must be paid tribute and excused of all failing.
That’s it. That’s all you need to understand. It is no more complex than that.
