“William F. Buckley Jr., the late loquacious Godfather of the movement, famously said of feminists: ‘Give them an inch, they’ll take a mile’—this as a proposition to be debated with Germaine Greer,” blogs the Con Man. “In the 21st Century, the Right is giving up inch after inch on a myriad of social issues so as not to appear both absurd and irrelevant.
