"The defense of individual rights has reached such extremes as to make society as a whole defenseless against certain individuals. It is time, in the West, to defend not so much human rights as human obligations.
On the other hand, destructive and irresponsible freedom has been granted boundless space. Society has turned out to have scarce defense against the abyss of human decadence, for example against the misuse of liberty for moral violence against young people, such as motion pictures full of pornography, crime, and horror. This is all considered to be part of freedom and to be counterbalanced, in theory, by the young people’s right not to look and not to accept. Life organized legalistically has thus shown its inability to defend itself against the corrosion of evil.
......
This tilt of freedom toward evil has come about gradually, but it evidently stems from a humanistic and benevolent concept according to which man—the master of this world—does not bear any evil within himself, and all the defects of life are caused by misguided social systems, which must therefore be corrected."

很有意思但并不意外的是,对drag queen的态度是在文化战中区分保守派和传统自由派的标杆之一,在若干问题上和保守分子一同反对进步派的自由主义者总会找到各种其实说不通的理由来保卫drag queen的社会活动空间:

Racy, stripper adult drag queens have no place around kids. Fun, costumed non-blue drag queens reading to kids is fine. Can we make that distinction and act accordingly?

I know people have strong opinions about drag queens, but in a world where we have increasing energy insecurity, a land war in Europe, inflation, a likely recession & possible future economic depression, maybe it isn't actually worth so much time & emotional investment?

这件事的核心是保护儿童的sexual innocence. 站在自由派立场上,有可能为儿童的sexual innocence提供辩护吗?如果有,辩护思路是什么?
