‘The Notion of the Mythical Norm’
Catt is a 19-year-old lesbian with a Tumblr blog. She has anxiety, depression and “also maybe some psychotic symptoms.” She seems to be enrolled in an introductory Women’s Studies course, because she posted an excerpt from a popular textbook, Women’s Voices, Feminist Visions: Often we tend to think of women in comparison to a mythical norm: White, […]
The Anti-American Party
Do Democrats even understand how bad this looks? Two former Obama administration officials suggested that America’s European allies should punish President Donald Trump for withdrawing from the Iran deal and levying additional sanctions on the Islamic republic. The European Union and individual European countries are obligated to take aggressive steps to preserve the Iran deal, […]
Deranged Stalker: ‘When You’re Finding Love, Not Everything Is Perfect’
Just yesterday, I warned (again) that online dating is a bad idea. How bad is it? On “an online dating service for millionaire matchmaking,” according to KPHO-TV in Phoenix, a guy met this nightmare: A woman accused of sending a Paradise Valley, Arizona man 65,000 text messages tried to explain her actions in a […]
‘A Particularly Non-Self-Aware Man’

Today, there exists broad understanding that […]
The Rocky Horror Family Show
It’s astounding. Time is fleeting. Madness takes its toll: A Michigan mother of five decided she wants to be a man, and now she’s opening up about how much she loves when her kids call her both mom and dad. Formerly Erica Maison, the 40-year-old mother now goes by Eric Maison, and began her […]
‘Give Me Equality — and Pay My Bills!’
How much does it cost to get pregnant? Well, a bottle of wine and maybe the price of some candles, doing it the old-fashioned romantic way. Fortunately, my wife doesn’t drink, so we’ve got six kids at an even cheaper rate, but my point is that pregnancy is usually free. Not everybody does things […]
How to Argue With a Feminist
Rule One: Never argue with a feminist. This is the only rule you need. There is no point trying to persuade a feminist that she’s wrong. If she were intellectually honest (and thus capable of admitting error) she would not be a feminist. Because feminists never argue in good faith, nothing is to be […]
