Description
The Problem with "Right to Difference" In an effort to celebrate individuality, we often end up reinforcing stereotypes and creating divisions. This can lead to conflict between different identities. In Canada, students have protested against yoga classes because they feel it's culturally insensitive. In the US, classical literature is criticized for being too exclusive. The trend of identity politics has shifted from a tool to promote minority visibility to a new moral code that censors and categorizes. Under the guise of not hurting sensitivities, progressive ideas are invading our personal space, assigning identities, and restricting free thought. Each day, a group, minority, or individual claiming to represent a cause demands, threatens, and coerces others into submission. We live under a tyranny of offense that's suffocating us. Caroline Fourest, a feminist intellectual, argues for a defense of equality that doesn't stifle debate or harm our freedoms in her concise essay.
