Cloaked under different and rhetorically emancipatory principles.

From The first date book walk out meme by Tyler Cowen.  

Somebody on twitter asks

You’re on a first date with someone, and they tell you the name of their favorite book. You immediately leave. What’s the book?

 Marginally interesting if you are entertained by posers.

Cowen goes somewhere else with this which speaks to a broader issue.

One thing the contemporary world definitely has not come to terms with is how much a highly feminized culture will be (rather strongly) enforcing new forms of discrimination, albeit cloaked under different and rhetorically emancipatory principles.
