One of the greatest mistakes many progressives such as feminists make is using what they want as a starting point instead of thinking what incentive structures they are creating. The thinking easily becomes I want x while completely ignoring what incentive structures they are creating.
The reasoning becomes "I want to wear whatever I want". There is not enough thought put into that women are competitive and that the end result is going to be thongs becoming standard swimwear for women and that the hyper sexualization caused by a race to the bottom of who can get the most attention will be harmful.
The air India 787 that crashed into a building two weeks ago didn't manage to flatten the building it crashed into. 787s are almost twice as heavy and carry way more fuel. Yet two 757 manages to take out three gigantic steel buildings in NYC while a 787 couldn't take out an Indian school.
