Progressive Prejudice: Exposing the Devouring Mother - Paperback

by Leslie Corbly (Author)

Progressive Prejudice explores how the final taboo of toxic femininity weaponizes compassion and care to the detriment of society, politics, and culture.

How did Donald Trump win reelection? The answer to this question will be studied by historians hundreds of years in the future, but an understanding of progressive prejudice is essential to this inquiry. This book takes a step back and contextualizes Trump's historical electoral victory through the lens of an underdiscussed, culturally destructive force. This force, the devouring mother, is the archetype of female predation. It is personified on the political left in modern feminism and hides behind compassion, victimhood, and presumed moral purity. Combating this cultural destruction through a radical acceptance of individual accountability is essential to retaining our freedoms and fighting for equality.

Corbly, an author, attorney, and poet, explores the final taboo: female perpetrated violence through a provocative series of autobiographical and cultural essays. Through these essays, Corbly elucidates how progressive beliefs and practices assume the moral superiority of women, while marginalizing and socially destroying the lives of individuals who live under the weight of female perpetrated abuse.
