The idea that men and women might have different contributions to society and that there are some contexts where they should be treated differently.

That addressing economic inequality as such (and not just poverty in absolute terms) is a legitimate object of public policy.

Protectionism. I'm still mostly a free trader, but I now think there are legitimate reasons for a country to favor domestic industry in some circumstances.

- That irrational and contradictory views are not only unavoidable, but an essential part of what it means to be a living, breathing, subjective human being with these things called feelings, beliefs, emotions, and values

how true.

That addressing economic inequality as such (and not just poverty in absolute terms) is a legitimate object of public policy.

Really glad to hear you've come round on this!

I still don't like the way a lot of the rhetoric on this issue comes across to me as barely concealed envy, but I increasingly buy into the argument that widely dispersed economic power is necessary to the health of a free society.
