Happens after Lorena Bobbitt made national headlines for chopping her husbands weenier off

1. They predict the mainstream LGTBQ cultural shift, "an army of lovers cannot fail" is what Naomi Wolf says. 2015 was when it was finally legalized so that is a 21 year old, correct, prediction.
Bit dramatic but in 1994 it would have been really hard to predict gay marriage rights etc were on the way.
2. Hitchens says: In the 80's it is considered "babyish" to want to go to the dean to complain about another student's treatment of you, but that as the 90's creep along, university students want more complaints procedures, more therapy and more litigation. He says that universities are just a reflection of the wider society and where it is going.
3. They say gender injustice is going to be cast as "women against men", and that feminism will only succeed if it scrupulously fair, and has to be deeply sensitive to men or else men with form their own counter-movements. Men will want a share in the "victimhood movement."
Really interesting interview group here. Hitchens is basically bragging about being good in bed the whole time too.
