Many leftists have an intense identification with the problems of groups that have an image of being weak (women), defeated (American Indians), repellent (homosexuals) or otherwise inferior. The leftists themselves feel that these groups are inferior. They would never admit to themselves that they have such feelings, but it is precisely because they do see these groups as inferior that they identify with their problems. (We do not mean to suggest that women, Indians, etc. ARE inferior; we are only making a point about leftist psychology.)

許多左派主義者對於有著形象軟弱的（女性）、失敗的（印地安人）、令人厭惡的（同性戀者）、或其他低劣的團體的問題有強烈的認同感。左派主義者覺得這些團體比較低劣。他們絕對不會承認自己有這樣的想法，但實際上正因為他們認為這些團體比較低劣才讓他們認同這些團體面對的問題。（我們沒有要暗示女性、印地安人等比較低劣；我們只是在說明左派的心理。）

Feminists are desperately anxious to prove that women are as strong and as capable as men. Clearly they are nagged by a fear that women may NOT be as strong and as capable as men.

女性主義者急切的想證明女性和男性一樣強壯和有能力。很顯然他們很擔心女性可能不如男性一般強壯和有能力。

我很常在科學報導讀到女性科學家的報導和訪談。有一次，記者問女科學家對於自己身為女性在科學界有什麼想法，她回答：「我希望自己被看作是科學家而不是女性科學家。」
