Their Agenda, and Hers

Kelsey Miller (@mskelseymiller) is the kind of feminist who is not a lesbian. She has a boyfriend, which indicates she is open to the possibility that not all men are part of a patriarchal conspiracy to oppress her. In other words, she’s not actually a feminist, yet. Even as she continues to cooperate with the patriarchy’s […]

What @AdamRichman Learned

Maybe you haven’t heard about this controversy, but it’s a helpful lesson in the unstated rules of 21st-century discourse. Adam Richman is a former actor and self-educated chef who, for four seasons 2008-2011, was the star of the Travel Channel series Man vs. Food and its sequel, Man vs. Food Nation. The show was a […]

Women’s Studies, IYKWIMAITYD

What aspect of feminism was I researching when I found this? Never mind; it doesn’t matter now. The point is that I found a 2009 syllabus for a Women’s Studies course (“Introduction to Feminisms”) at Boston College, which was taught that year by Ellen Friedman. This sophomore-level class is cross-listed under the departments of sociology, […]

The #HobbyLobby Hysteria

Years ago, while reporting on federally funded research — the infamous “porn arousal” studies at Northwestern University — I developed what I like to think of as the Existential Theory of Liberalism: To a liberal, nothing exists unless it is mandated, subsidized and/or regulated by the federal government. If you think it is a waste […]

Gender Theory Madness: Gay Man Gets ‘Doxed’ Because of His ‘Transphobia’

In case you missed my posts over the weekend — “Tranarchy: Gender Theory = Insanity” and “Inmates Run the Facebook Asylum” — the long-running online war between transgender activists and radical lesbian feminists has been heating up lately. The two sides of the battle front are essentially this: Transactivists say it is “hate” to criticize […]

Men’s Conference Succeeds

Adam Serwer is a liberal journalist and when I saw his byline on a story about the first Men’s Rights conference, I feared the worst. Yet his article about the conference is surprisingly fair, perhaps because the organizers were well-prepared for media scrutiny. A genius move: Most of the speakers on the first day of […]

Inmates Run the Facebook Asylum

Gabriel/”Brielle” Harrison (@nyteshade) is a “Sci-Fi/Fantasy lover,” IYKWIMAITYD. Gender Identity Watch explains more: He is also a Facebook engineer who implemented the multiple gender options on Facebook. He has made public statements that he censored Gender Identity Watch. Harrison does not apply Facebook’s Community Standards; rather, he engages in censorship of political speech by Women, […]

Tranarchy: Gender Theory = Insanity

Sarah Brown (@AuntySarah) is a mentally ill transsexual who was a member of the city council in Cambridge, England. Last year, the Guardian published an article about Brown’s “polyamorous” domestic arrangement with Brown’s ex-wife and another transsexual. These people are oppressed by pronouns. In 2010, the British parliament passed the Equality Act, which has had […]
