Modern liberalism is the creature of classical liberalism. They share metaphysical presuppositions and thus many ethical conclusions. They both view society as a collection of individual wills with no ontological reality of its own. The both view the good as a matter of satasfactoon of individual preference. They…
I'm using abstract concepts to describe a social structure that caters to reality.
No idea. It seems like there can be a million different formal and informal structures in place to deal with these issues. Some societies have done worse than others. we should try to learn from what works and discard what doesn't. It's certainly a question beyond my ability to answer.
Obviously, you prosecute, but you also want to create a structure that makes it easy to be virtuous while balancing the claims of justice and equity. What that means in practice I do t know, and here's the kicker, neither do you.
My goodness, man. See the bigger picture. That some reality tv personalities are hypocrites is not exactly germane to the issue.
Correct. Adam smith was an 18th century liberal. Economic liberalism has only been considered conservative for about as long as you've been alive. Capitalism obviously is corrosive to the social order and thus doesn't conserve anything. This was the common right wing position until fairly recently.
Yes, it's a historic legend that Disney chose to make into a movie and make it in a certain way. Why do people pretend to be dense in order to make an argument.
Good question. I have no idea, but the answer might not be "keep digging". Of course, I have no expertise relevant to the question of sexual assault or how to prevent it, but then, neither do any of the extremely confident posters here.

But at the same time, the results were and are predictable.
Does this even matter? What if sexual assault is entirely the fault of the perpetrator (true), and an inevitable aspect of the human weakness and the law of large numbers (possibly true). What then?
This is dishonest. Of course Mulan was made in a way that promoted a kind of "girl power" vision of feminism. I mean, duh. It's just that you disagree as to whether this is a good thing.
Snarkedy, Snarkedy, snark snark. The passion was a good movie.
Just an awful human being.
Did I really leave out the eselen institute and its spin off est?
And thelema, and the church of Satan, and theosophy, and transcendental meditation, and new thought, and the people's temple, and whatever manly p. Hall was, and father yod, and the children of God, and the sla, and that's just off the top of my head. La la land.
Can you reconcile the new deal with wwii?
It was a cia idea. Sheesh, you think jack and Ike sat around coming up with ideas?
