When Men Hoist The Pirate Flag

"It all comes down to men hunted and women gathered. . . . Chivalry and the code thereof was the laying down of those good reproductive (and civilizational) rules that make for a functioning society that passes on its values to its young: men who put their strength at the service of the weaker; women who praised them and admired them for it; and children who were raised to do the same. Tearing it down might seem like freedom, but you can't remove the walls and wish the roof would remain standing."
-Sarah Hoyt

"At every crossway on the road that leads to the future...each progressive spirit is opposed by...a thousand men appointed to guard the past."
