ABSTRACT
It was a year of literary Jungian synchronicity, in which an unrehearsed chorus of books emerged to sing mellifluous refrains against execrable extravagances of newage ideology, dystopian debasements of the academy, corrupt convolutions of biopolity, and invidious infringements of fundamental liberty. John Fekete exposes government-sponsored "studies"—notably, Canadian Panel on Violence Against Women's (CanPan's) ten million dollar Changing the Landscape-whose authors portray Canadian women as trapped in "lives few in the world would choose to lead". But the killing itself did not cause the terrifying reprisals; it merely catalyzed them. It follows smoothly from this pathological premise that one must justifiably err on the side of "negative tolerance" in order to eradicate alleged or imagined hostility toward women. Unlike far too many Canadian authors and publishers, these two love truth, not Big Sister. Presumption of innocence and objectivity of evidence are the first casualties in the biofeminist war against freedom and reason.
