A dogmatism of tolerance has infected the women’s movement. As a dogma, tolerance asserts that there should be no value judgments made about anything. Using the rhetoric of not imposing values on others, women buy into a dangerous philosophy in which they strip themselves of the capacity for moral judgment. What they do not realize is that values will always assert themselves. When women do not take responsibility for generating and representing their agreed-upon values, they become pushovers for the tyranny of others’ values.
