I remark again that most men have little idea of the feminist hatred they’ll meet if ever they end up before the bench. Women, or more accurately, feminists, have possession of our legal system. That will get worse because universities are churning out more female lawyers than male lawyers. Why should that matter, the average man will ask? The law is the law.

The explanation is provided by the crucial distinction Janice Fiamengo and Helen Andrews make between female and male judgment: males judge on the basis of raw logic and truth: females judge on the basis of empathy. Helen Andrews puts it this way: females ‘value empathy over rationality; safety over risk; conformity and cohesion over competition and hierarchy.’
