Mollie Hemingway is a vicious sexist who hates women and wants to hurt them. She’s demanding that they not have careers and spend their whole lives barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen! Watch where this kind of amazing argument comes from, because it tells us quite a bit about the endless weirdness of leftist politics in the 21st century.

Many observers have argued that “the left has no theory of mind of the right,” a conclusion that draws on the work of the social psychologist Jonathan Haidt. When leftists attack conservative views, they can’t quite pull it off, because they just don’t know what they’re arguing against. They don’t have the vocabulary. They spend their lives fighting their projections of a guess of a misconception, endlessly demonstrating an extraordinary capacity for misinterpretation.

You’ve watched this. You’ve seen slogan-chanting journalists struggle like a drowning man in the face of arguments they can’t begin to perceive, trying to take a statement and turn it into what they think it is: “What you’re saying is …” Speaking with someone who doesn’t chant the ritual slogans, they try to channel the discussion so it can flow into the grooves that have been carved into their minds by years of mindless compliance.

When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez announced that she plans to freeze her eggs so she can possibly one day buy her own baby from a medical corporation as a product, conservative writers, especially conservative writers who are mothers, wrote that she was making a bad choice. At The Federalist, Katy Faust wrote about the pleasures of family, describing the fun she and her husband had with their children: “They grew up knowing that children weren’t an interruption to the good life. Children were the good life.”

Chasing the same themes of connection and the pursuit of a satisfying life, Jordan Boyd wrote about the costs and complications of medicalized pregnancy, comparing it unfavorably to the old-fashioned kind. On video, AOC said she was seeking control over her life by buying fertility; in fact, Boyd wrote, she’s chasing “a very pricey illusion of control,” one that can fail, in the context of a choice that suggests significant social decline:

Infertility is rising, birth rates........
