Shikha Dalmia on the Illiberal Liberals on Campus

America’s sexual revolution handed women control
over their sexual destiny while hanging on to liberal notions of
due process and civil liberties. But now affirmative consent or
“yes-means-yes” law proponents think that these notions are
inconvenient obstacles in their quest to deliver total safety to
women. Rape, they claim, is such a big problem that they have to
trade in their “ends don’t justify the means” philosophy with “by
any means necessary” battle cry.

But this is a scary development that shows that utopianism and
totalitarianism are two sides of the same coin, notes Shikha
Dalmia.
