If We ‘Create Education Better,’ People Might Learn the Wage Gap Is a Myth

Everybody is laughing at Miss Utah, Marissa Powell, for her stumbling answer to a Miss USA pageant question, but no one seems to have pointed out that the question, asked by reality-TV personality NeNe Leakes, was based on a persistent feminist fallacy: “A recent report shows that in 40 percent of American families with children, [...]

‘Hate-F*ck’ Hoaxer Meg Lanker-Simons Has Criminal Record for Gun Incident

When last we checked in on Think Progress award-winning blogger Meg Lanker-Simons, the progressive feminist was charged with making a fake Facebook threat to “hate-f*ck” herself.

No, You’re Not a Feminist

Two years ago, I got in a long argument with my friend Little Miss Attila about feminism, specifically her claim that there is such a thing as “conservative feminism,” which I countered by citing the history of modern feminism from Betty Friedan to Susan Brownmiller as demonstrating that feminism always was a movement of the [...]

As a ‘Christofascist Godbag,’ I Need Some Civility Lessons From Melissa McEwan

Let me begin this response to Melissa McEwan by citing Ann Coulter, not because she is a woman — certainly not one of those “liberal women constantly talking about their vaginas suddenly pretending to be offended by the word ‘slut’” — but because Coulter dared to tell the truth about Max Cleland’s Vietnam war injuries. [...]

Hope and Chains: #WarOnWomen Kidnapper Is Cuyahoga County Democrat

Amanda Berry (left); Ariel Castro (center); Gina DeJesus (right) “If any of the brothers were a Republican, this news would have been trumpeted by the mainstream media as tangible proof of the Republican War on Women — a narrative invented by Democrat strategists and maintained by the media in a successful effort to defeat Republican [...]

If @AmandaMarcotte Made You a Sandwich, Would You Eat It?

“I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication [...]

A Festive Occasion!

The Dreaded Wyoming GOP Facebook ‘Hatef–k’ Rapist Has Been Apprehended

The university campus in Laramie was gripped by fear last week: “I want to hatef–k Meg Lanker Simons so hard. That chick that runs her liberal mouth all the time and doesn’t care who knows it. I think its hot and it makes me angry. One night with me and shes gonna be a good [...]

University Logo as Rorschach Inkblot

Instapundit calls our attention to the case of a feminist student at the University of Connecticut who saw rape in the school’s revamped logo for its Huskies sports program. And to understand just what this reaction means, you really should read the “open letter” that Carolyn Luby wrote to UConn president Susan Herbst: Dear President [...]

If Obama Has Lost Garance …

Garance Franke-Ruta is a serious lefty writer, and also a friend of mine, and she gets all critical theory in analyzing President Obama’s declaration that Kamala Harris is the “best-looking attorney general,” saying that the president’s error was “in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of [...]

Amanda Marcotte: So Dangerously Crazy, Even Conor Friedersdorf Fears Her Now

Amanda Marcotte: So humorless, it’s hilarious No public controversy involving sex is complete until feminist scold Amanda Marcotte makes a fool of herself, and she’s continually striving for ever-lower nadirs of stupidity.
