Exceptionally well-written op-ed.

Metaphorically, the American warrior’s woman has been taken from him. Briseis in this analogy could be America itself, which has been rendered something uncomfortably alien as it has been handed over to aliens. It could stand for the real estate market, which Americans are increasingly priced out of so that BlackRock and the real estate trusts can turn a nation of homeowners into a rental favela. Frankly, it could be less a metaphor than a simple statement of fact: the American woman, once the envy of the world, has been mutated by decades of birth control pills, SSRIs, social media derangement, and feminism into a disquieting ungulate whose exterior ugliness is exceeded only by the spiteful resentment of her bitter soul.
