Feminist Gulag: No Prosecution Necessary
Feminists, despite Gottschalk’s muted admission of guilt, did lead the charge toward wholesale incarceration. Feminist ideology has radicalized criminal justice and eroded centuries-old constitutional protections: New crimes have been created; old crimes have been redefined politically; the distinction between crime and private behavior has been erased; the presumption of innocence has been eliminated; false accusations go unpunished; patently innocent people are jailed without trial. “The new feminist jurisprudence hammers away at some of the most basic foundations of our criminal law system,” Michael Weiss and Cathy Young write in a Cato Institute paper. “Chief among them is the presumption that the accused is innocent until proven guilty.”
Feminists and other sexual radicals have even managed to influence the law to target conservative groups themselves. Racketeering statutes are marshaled to punish non-violent abortion demonstrators, and “hate crimes” laws attempt to silence critics of the homosexual agenda. Both are supported by “civil liberties” groups. And these are only the most notorious; there are others.
Feminists have been the most authoritarian pressure group throughout much of American history. “It is striking what an uncritical stance earlier women reformers took toward the state,” Gottschalk observes. “They have played central roles in … uncritically pushing for more enhanced policing powers.”
What Gottschalk is describing is feminism’s version of Stalinism: the process whereby radical movements commandeer the instruments of state repression as they trade ideological purity for power.

Rose McLeod of Winnipeg is married to Joe, who's 69 years old. Joe has Alzheimer's dementia and one morning in early September, Rose woke up to find her husband acting aggressively toward her because he didn't know who she was. There must have been some sort of altercation because Rose fell. She then called the police, who came and, pursuant to their mandatory arrest policy, arrested Joe. He's been in the prison's medical ward ever since. He's had at least 11 court appearances, but hasn't even had bail set.
Rose never wanted him to be arrested, but when mandatory arrest is the policy, she's got nothing to say. Call the cops and even hint at domestic violence and someone's going to jail. If he happens to be mentally incompetent and need care, that's his problem; he's still going to jail. Rose doesn't want him prosecuted either, but that too is none of her affair. The domestic violence system has him and it's not letting go.
