‘Crash Out Kylie’: How a Queer Feminist Became Famous (Not in a Good Way)

Because I don’t pay much attention to podcasts, I overlooked some delicious drama last year, when an Ivy League-educated “queer feminist” named Kylie Brewer went on the popular “Whatever” show, hosted by Brian Atlas. The show flew her out from Chicago to California for her spotlight appearance, where she was confronted by a well-known Christian […]

Why Is Lindy West Getting Cancelled?

Most people — even people who follow politics closely — never figured out that the Great Feminist Boom of 2014-2017 was not a coincidence. All the institutions of academia and media did not suddenly decide to the embrace and promote #feminist brand by accident. No, that cultural moment was organized to support the Right Side […]

When the Jokes Just Write Themselves

Talk about an easy layup. That headline is such an invitation to sarcastic responses that I would be ashamed to make wisecracks. As is my habit when I encounter something like this, the first question that crossed my mind was, “Who is this person?” Immediately I turn to Google to try to get the writer’s […]

Why Has She Never Met a Good Man?

Here is the transcript of her video rant: “I’ve never once met a good man — my entire life, going on almost 32 years, OK? I’ve never met one genuinely good man.

In his most famous work, On Liberty, Mill famously described “the tyranny of the majority,” by which he meant […]

Has #GamerGate 2.0 Begun? Bizarre Clash Over Sick Fetish Videogames Wrecks ‘Games Journalism’ Site Waypoint

Like the original #GamerGate, this is a complex story, involving (a) a feminist anti-porn censorship campaign, (b) online payment processors, (c) producers of videogames with content so disgusting I don’t want to describe it, and (d) the staff of a videogame review website associated with Vice Media. In case you didn’t realize it, Vice declared […]

Conclusions in Search of Evidence: Sex and the Modern Female Journalist

My two daughters are named Kennedy and Reagan, and one of my sons is named Jefferson, so I’m not against the trend of presidential names, but probably you shouldn’t name your daughter “Carter.” That was my first thought when I encountered the name Carter Sherman, who writes for the U.S. edition of the Guardian. Knowing […]

Death by ‘Equality’

Captain Becky “did not turn left”: As they flew south along the Potomac River on the gusty night of Jan. 29, the crew aboard an Army Black Hawk helicopter attempted to execute a common aviation practice. It would play a role in ending their lives. Shortly after the Black Hawk passed over Washington’s most famous […]
