‘Superior Male Mathematical Ability’

  Does anyone else remember the “Teen Talk Barbie” controversy? In July 1992, Mattel issued a talking Barbie doll which said various phrases that a teenager might say. One of these phrases was “math class is tough” and, to judge from the reaction by feminists, Barbie might as well have said, “All girls are stupid”: A […]

‘She Passed Out in a Bedroom . . . She Wasn’t Strong Enough to Push Him Away’

When @Belle_Knox — porn alias of Miriam Weeks, the Duke University freshman Women’s Studies major — began telling her story, everyone with an interest in the field of abnormal psychology took notice. Her explanation of why she was doing what she was doing simply didn’t add up. We were asked to believe that financial desperation […]

The Left’s Mob Rule on Campus

Scarcely a day goes by that we don’t hear some report of the increasing turn toward totalitarianism by the campus Left.

White Guilt Passes Its Expiration Date

Some things are predictable to observant students of human nature. There is a Newtonian principle of equal and opposite reactions in social, political and cultural trends. After the radical anti-war protests and bohemian lifestyle experimentation of the 1960s — LSD, campus sit-in demonstrations, psychedelic rock, hippie communes and meditation gurus — a discernible backlash took […]

Report: ‘No Regrets’ Sex Teacher Said She Had Sex Dreams About Teen Boy in 2008

Readers may remember Jennifer Fichter, the 29-year-old Florida teacher who allegedly told the mother of a 17-year-old student that she had “no regrets” about having sex with the boy. Evidence now emerges that Fichter’s sexual interest in young boys was a problem when she was a middle school teacher six years ago: LAKELAND, Fla. — […]

Talia Lepson (@tlepthechamp on Twitter) is a Brandeis University sophomore “majoring in Politics and minoring in Peace, Conflict, and Coexistence Studies” who describes herself as an “avid MSNBC viewer.” In case you forgot the recent campus controversy: April 9: Brandeis and Suicidal Liberalism April 17: Shocking: Brandeis Feminist Faculty Led Petition Against Aayan Hirsi Ali […]
