Never Trust a ‘Male Feminist’ (And Relevant Thoughts About @JayaSaxena)

  You probably never heard of Devin Faraci, who blogs about movies, and perhaps you never would have heard of him had it not been for the fact that Devin Faraci is (a) liberal and (b) stupid, but I repeat myself. Being a liberal requires that Faraci hate Republicans and pretend to be a feminist, […]

Boomerang: NBC Suspends ‘Today’ Host Billy Bush Because …

. . . uh, why? Honestly, I’m mystified by this unexpected and, to me, inexplicable reaction to the Trump 2005 “hot mic” video leak: Billy Bush has been suspended from the “Today” show “pending further review of the matter.” It is unclear if he will ever return to the broadcast. “He will never be on […]

‘My Inherent Feminine Wisdom’: Witchcraft and Academic Feminism

“When I was a little girl, I instinctively knew that I was a Witch, without at the time identifying with this special word or know all that it entailed. … Like all children I was closely connected to the magical side of my nature.

Barbara Comstock of Virginia urges Trump to drop out of race — Washington […]

That came to mind when I encountered a chart of AIDS-related terms — promoted by the University of California-San Francisco — comparing “stigmatizing” language (left) versus “empowering” language (right):   You see we must avoid “blame-centric language” […]
