The modern secular relativist project of desensitization takes many forms.
It is related to Marxist dialectic.
Here is one example:
The group that calls itself Women of the Wall are saying the Kotel (Western Wall, the last remaining part of the ancient Temple in Jerusalem) has no sanctity.
They are saying they hope to offend traditional women as they gather there for their "alternative prayer".
They can “sing in a high, operatic voice” - in their own words, which they would never do anywhere else, in their own words.
Dismantle. That is their own words.
The mask is alternative prayer, a deception in order to accuse the traditionalists of bigotry against "alternative prayer".
The plan - dismantle.
All part of the modern relativist project of desensitization.
So against those who declare that the Kotel has no holiness, declare that they are seeking provocation, to disturb, and to dismantle, there is no legal protection.
You have a choice. Numb your senses, and join in with the secular relativist project to desensitize.
Numbing your senses is the exact opposite of the call to any of the Abrahamic faiths, because we are supposed to be in a relationship with God, and indeed, sensitized to holiness.
Since you cannot really agree that nothing is sacred - you do care for something - your childhood home, a special pathway in the woods, your children’s intellectual integrity, something somewhere is precious to you that defies explanation, that you will draw a line for and say, “this far and no further.”
So you may resist comprehending or defending traditionalists’ view of the Kotel, well maybe you really think the Kotel has no holiness, maybe you too are intimidated by their clever rhetoric and apparent cultural pull and influence, maybe you are secure in the notion that you will just switch philosophical horses along with political correctness, ride with the winds, anything that comes up, sure, you will go along with.
But there will be a day when you say, “this far and no further.” It may be a bid to cement over some precious woodland in order to make an amusement park, it may be choice up until birth (oh no one really means that do they? Yes they do.) It may be forcing your small children to mouth incoherent pronouns and suggest that they wonder if they are really a different gender, made possible by PC public education. Til now, you decided to bend and sway with every current that blows.
But that time will come when you hold something as inviolate.
By refusing to comprehend and defend now, there will be no one left to come to your aid when you face that some things really are sacred and inviolate. You have needs, and no one is there, they were scared off, numbed, pushed away, they moved already to an ashram somewhere that no one thinks to provoke.
You participated in the project of modern secular relativist desensitization. That day, when you must draw that line, there will be few to comprehend or defend you. As what is precious to you slips away due to the same attitude that you show now, you may realize in a state of hushed personal horror - you brought your isolation and loss - on yourself.

The most brilliant minds are behind Marxism. They have key insights into the intellect, psychology, sociology and societal trends. They know exactly how to maneuver in the modern relativistic individualist project of desensitization.
They manipulate, for example, here are some examples of the constant stream of questioning that has characterized the Torah observant world for milenia: is the Rabbi a wise person, or does he posses an aspect of ruach hakodesh (prophecy)? Should women lain from the Torah scroll? Should Talmud learning begin as early as possible, or only when the child is more developed? Should women wear yarmulkes? How do we balance the needs for a secular education and career with the demands of a Torah lifestyle? Should women don taleisim and tefillin?
Torah observant society is riddled with constant questioning and readjustment. The brilliant minds behind the modern secular individualist project of desensitization have matched trigger points in western society - gender roles - with traditional Judaism, creating flashpoints of provocation, one of them dons the guise of the group that calls itself the Women of the Wall. What are passing questions in the constant stream of questioning in our Torah community have been filtered out and brandished, weaponized, on the road to dismantling, and this is in their own words.
The bigger picture is the modern secular relativist individualist project of desensitization. And beyond that - Marxist calls to destabilize society.
But know this well: unless you have the platform, reins of power, and access to the purse-strings of such mini movements, disguised as efforts towards equality, you will suffer mightily in your personal and professional life if you hold seriously to these calls to action, cleverly disguised. Only very few succeed in positions of influence because positions of influence are, by definition, limited. To hold to the values that the WoW says they espouse, is personally ruinous.
And that is because it's fine to be a Marxist as long as it is not happening to you.
