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

‘Victims Proliferate’ at Occidental: The Unfortunate Truth About Campus Rape

“The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules or took a few liberties with our female party guests — we did.” — Eric “Otter” Stratton, Animal House “Colleges and universities are being educated by Washington and are finding the experience excruciating. They are learning that when they say campus victimizations are ubiquitous […]

Young Feminist Has Problems

Erin McKelle Fischer (@ErinMcKelle) is a Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies major at Ohio University whose name I recognized because in February I quoted her denunciation of “heteronormative” virginity: “The idea of your first penis-in-vagina sexual encounter being something significant and life altering (well, for women anyway) has origins in women being considered property. “That is […]

Porn, Shame and Suicide

Last month, I wrote about the death of Alyssa Funke, a 19-year-old who committed suicide two weeks after appearing in a porn video: If you do porn, it’s going to be on the Internet, and if it’s on the Internet, everybody’s going to see it. There is no way you can have a “secret” porn […]

The Pathology of the ‘Male Feminist’

  When last we heard from @HugoSchwyzer in March, the disgraced professor promised to take “an extended hiatus” from writing: As a quick glance will reveal, I haven’t updated my blog in many months. I am in the midst of what will be a very long break from public writing. The promise of an extended […]

In Which @AmandaMarcotte Reveals Her Disturbing Lack of Self-Awareness

Everybody’s Favorite Feminist™ begins her latest column by ranting about — what else? — the “misogyny” of abortion opponents: Anti-choice activists are well aware that their position would be seriously undermined if the public understood the misogyny that actually drives their movement, so . . . Yadda yadda yadda. What follows is mostly routine Marcottean […]

The Stupid Goes All the Way to Eleven

@LynnParramore has a Ph.D. in English and cultural theory from New York University. Last week, Parramore made a complete fool of herself by writing a column about a grocery store playing the Rolling Stones 1966 song “Under My Thumb”: As I listened, I thought about how the song plays in the wake of Elliot Rodger’s killing […]

‘Statistical Voodoo and Elastic Definitions’

Such is the substance of the campus rape “epidemic,” as I explained Wednesday (“Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones, But George Will’s Column Raped Me”) in rejecting the claim that skepticism toward feminist rhetoric is morally equivalent to rape. Feminism’s hegemonic dominance within elite academia has been achieved because cowards are easily intimidated by intellectual bullying, […]

The Value of Fathers

Joy Pullman offers a refreshing antidote to feminism’s anti-male agenda: My father gave me what too many girls nowadays ruin themselves for lacking: A strong, loving, steady masculine presence. It’s inconceivable what I would be like without him. So, before I explain why my dad’s story is bigger than us, let me brag on him […]
