Obviously, You Need More Feminist Lectures From Miriam Mogilevsky
Last week I remarked: The cult of “consciousness raising” . . . means that every college sophomore who has taken a couple of Women’s Studies classes believes she possesses a moral and intellectual superiority that qualifies her to tutor us about how women are oppressed by the patriarchy. This attitude of arrogant condescension, this presumption […]
Learning How to Use Tools
“The Internet has created a huge megaphone. That’s great, but it often creates so much noise that the people on the receiving end can’t hear anything.” — Jake Brewer, manager at Change.org Let me try an analogy here: The library is full of books, and there is a rack full of magazines at the grocery […]
But He’s Not a Catholic Priest

Kelly Anders, an administrator […]
