Yes, the problems are not genetic. And to call the problem "philosophical" seems to give it more credit than it's worth.
Yes, it comes from accountability, or lack of it.
And it boils down to this:
Making dick moves / powerplays for the sake of itself -- for the sake of power, or the sake of fake moral superiority.
So, it may be "philosophical" if you consider Marx a philosophy.
But I think a Red Pill perspective would place it on the spectrum of basic human psychology: Lust (for power), Pride (in a born trait, rather than a deed), Greed, Envy, Anger, ... gee, I'm sensing a 7ery familiar pattern...
I say "philosophical" because there are parts I get and parts I don't get. I have a 2 year old daughter. I don't want someone telling her she was born to stupid to vote, or drive, or go to college. I get the drive for equal opportunity. But as the Neocons have aptly pointed out, these "civil rights movements" for minorities, women and gays are not about equal opportunities, they are about equal results. And in many cases, about superior status.
If a feminist thinks women should get their shot at the brass ring, then I'm a feminist for the sake of my little girl. If a feminist is someone who thinks women deserve special status for being born with a monthly bleeding hole, then fuck no, I want no parts of that.
