Interesting. The good professor will be a speaker at the Budapest conference in August.

One thought on “Professor Stephen Baskerville: Why Conservatism Failed

  1. I think Melanie Phillips is very perceptive about this in her book Sex Change Society. Certainly for the UK. Where the attempts at a “mass movement” were abandoned by feminists in favor of focusing on some key institutions. Universities (and the former Polytechnics and TTCs) where they had a footing in English Lit. Journalism, Sociology, lobbying on political issues that motivated male politicians (Rape/sexual assault and of course Domestic Violence, hence the need to drive out Erin Pizzey) and key public services that draw from University educated “generalists”. With the result that from the mid 80s public policy shifted, as Phillips predicted, to repeatedly enact feminist policies even though (as feminist organisations repeatedly pointed out) there was little wider public support for feminism. Oxbridge is the very epicentre of this and not coincidentally also provides the majority of the politicians and senior civil servants and Quangocrats that actually run the country. A “very British coup”
