‘This Feminist Community That I’d Like to Consider Myself a Part Of’

The pathetic phrase quoted in the headline was spoken by Daniel Kopin in an interview with Cathy Young. Kopin, 21, is a Brown University student who was suspended after a school disciplinary proceeding in which he was found responsible for “sexual misconduct” with his ex-girlfriend and fellow Brown student Lena Sclove. It’s an interesting story: […]

High School ‘Death Cult’: Parents Claim Daughters Were Targeted by ‘Coven’

The federal lawsuit Doe v. Mastoloni, et al., demands a jury trial, which would be the biggest thing since the Salem Witch Trials: A couple have claimed that their three daughters were indoctrinated into a religious cult by their school teachers leaving them with suicidal thoughts and alienated from their loving family, according to a […]

#RapeCulture Eggs and Omelettes

Last night I linked A.J. Delgado’s item about the suspicious nature of the rape “epidemic” on college campuses. This phenomenon contradicts common sense: Overall, rates of violent crime (including rape) in the United States are on a downward trajectory, and universities have undertaken extraordinary programs to raise awareness (for both men and women) to prevent […]

Nerd Jokes in Georgia

The yearbook quote that got Mundy’s Mill High School senior Paris Gray in trouble was actually kind of clever, if you’re into rap music and the periodic table of elements.

Campus Rape Reports Increase?

NPR confirmed last month that campus rape reports are on the rise and that […]

Let the Politics Commence

Sunday afternoon, our family attended a nice party to celebrate our son-in-law’s graduation from law school. It was a nice opportunity for me to hassle my daughter and her husband about the need to provide me with grandchildren, and also to tell some of my favorite lawyer jokes, but it was just fun. No need […]
