America is suicidal culture. Our cultural elite burn with hatred against everything traditional and natural, everything that sustains us and makes the continued existence of Civilization possible. Their hostility to whatever stands in the way of their imagined utopia is bottomless.

The blow up over Clay Travis’ going on CNN and saying the two things he believes in absolutely are the first amendment and boobs confirms my thesis. Admittedly, his comment was coarse, puerile even. From all appearances, he’s an obnoxious lout.

But, that’s not why anyone objected. We gave up those sorts of objections in the ’90’s. Howard Stern killed them with his bare hands.

Instead, the Left went apoplectic for more fashionable reasons. The ostensible reason for their outrage was Travis’ purported “sexism.” Here are some examples from twitter.

I’m avid sports fan & a woman. Clay Travis’s sexist, demeaning comments are unacceptable. It’s past time for .@FOXSports to #FireClayTravis — Elle Belle (@redpoca) September 15, 2017

Clay Travis is a racist, sexist clown, but why does CNN keep inviting these awful people on their network? Why give them visibility? — Charles Clymer🏳️‍🌈 (@cmclymer) September 15, 2017

Though the outrage and cries of sexism seem trivial to the point of stupidity, they reveal a couple of important things.

What really incensed these people is not “sexism,” but the fact that a man would admit publicly and with not trace of shame that he finds women’s bodies sexually attractive. By doing so, he signals other men that they can admit such things as well. This is a problem for the Left because it has campaigned hard to demonize and shame such behavior. In recent decades, the Left has been quite successful in convincing both men and women that male sexuality, especially male sexual desire, is always dangerous. Men’s sexual desire for women, they’ve told us, is inherently exploitative, abusive, and damaging.

Male sexual desire is now only suitable for public display when it is aimed at the bodies of other men. If a man desires the bodies of other men, he is an elevated creature from another, better realm. Men who desire women are despicable.

To prove he is not one of the ogres who likes women’s bodies, the typical man now goes to great lengths to pretend he does not notice them. He lives out his days as an essentially sexless creature hemmed in by professional and social cultures that cast even the mildest indications of sexual awareness as harassment. Admitting you noticed Helen looks nice in blue is a punishable offense. Admitting you like boobs is suicidal.

As terrible as this reality is, the Clay Travis incident reveals something still worse. The Left doesn’t hate male sexual desire only. They also hate its results. Male sexuality, if it takes its normal and healthy course, leads to particularization rather than to equality and to the creation of family.

Not all men are equally drawn to all female bodies. In fact, for most men a time comes when he focuses the bulk of his desire on one female body. He ceases to pursue women generally and dedicates himself to one, forsaking all others. Nothing is more unequal than that. It is this inequality the Left resents.

The second outcome of male sexual desire is even more threatening to the Left. See, a man desires women because their bodies speak to him, in a mysterious way, of comfort, of belonging, of home. When a man says he likes boobs, he is saying he likes a lot more than just boobs.

Those on the Left seek to shame this affection for the female body because all real comfort, all real belonging, all real love of home interfere with their plans for a perfect society. Nothing disrupts the plan for a society free of sexual distinction and the connections it fosters like falling in love. Orwell and Huxley knew as much almost a century ago.

And, the fact is that it is his fondness for a woman’s boobs (and all her other parts) that leads a man, if he is good and if he is mature, to fatherhood, to the starting of a family, to the founding of a little platoon. Such little platoons easily become fiefdoms outside the control of our cultural elites, incubators of resistance and old, but true, ideas. And thus, does the Left lust violently to shut down the wild, dirty, and glorious process by which they are born.
