"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

How to Become a Cat Lady

Lisa Bonos (@lisabonos) has published a column headlined “How to find a feminist boyfriend” that reads like an Onion parody: “I find it really attractive how successful you are,” my date said, leaning in for a kiss. Sure, it sounds like a line. But it also sounds like feminism. . . . (No, it’s a […]

Mental Illness on Parade

Occasionally, I amuse myself by searching for certain feminist jargon terms on Twitter and RT’ing the wacky results. The jargon of feminism is a way for misfits to normalize their own insanity. That is to say, feminists look at the lives of normal human beings and see oppression. It is wrong for us to be […]

They Get Paid to Make Tough Decisions

You have to admire the work ethic of Twitchy staffers, who must have sorted through gigabytes of raving feminist lunacy to compile “The 10 dumbest Amanda Marcotte tweets of 2014.” Just a couple of representative Marcottean outbursts: I’m now convinced that the reason Republicans are demanding Gillibrand name a harasser is so they can castigate […]

Lena Dunham, Liar

The headline at the Daily Caller: Gawker Thinks They Found Lena Dunham’s Alleged Rapist … And He’s A Democrat The interesting thing about the Gawker story by J.K.

It’s kind of like the stereotype of feminists as ugly women who are angry because men don’t like them. As we view the #GamerGate controversy, then, it’s interesting to see how these […]

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 […]

Feminism: Equality in Misery

Miriam Mogilevsky (@sondosia) is allegedly a human being, although manifestly lacking in empathy and filled with a hateful appetite for sadistic revenge, which is to say she is a feminist. Her numerous efforts to destroy civilization include her advocacy of atheism, because those who hate humanity usually begin by hating God. She developed advanced skills in intellectual […]

The Fraternity Initiation Rape Story

“Weeks into my undergraduate career at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), a friend told me she had been raped a few days earlier as part of a fraternity ‘initiation process.’” — Annie E. Clark, Feb. 28, 2013, Huffington Post When I saw that sentence, it struck me as weirdly similar to […]
