The Other McCain

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

‘A Troubling Echo of Misogynistic Stereotypes of the Spiteful Ex-Wife’

Just encountered that phrase in an article at The Atlantic and wondered: Are they implying that spiteful ex-wives don’t exist? Assuming that the writer isn’t actually denying the existence of spiteful ex-wives, why is it “misogynistic” to acknowledge the truth of the old adage that “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”? Most women recognize this […]

In Which @TuckerCarlson Encounters the Feminist Meaning of Equality

Progressives insist that this is “sexism”: Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Thursday lamented that Americans are “whiny” about statutory rape and that when it comes to rape, boys are different than girls. While discussing the recent case in New York, in which a female teacher has been charged with rape for allegedly having sex […]

#EndFathersDay: Is This #YesAllWomen Feminism or Another 4Chan Hoax?

And does it matter? Because I routinely check the #fem2 and #radfem hashtags, I noticed the #EndFathersDay hashtag early this morning and also noticed that some people called it a hoax by the gamer/hacker types at 4chan. But the hashtag was adopted by some actual feminists, who see it as a logical extension of the […]

‘Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones, But George Will’s Column Raped Me’

Peter Paul Rubens, Rape of the Daughters of Leucippus (1618) “Feminism is, among other things, a totalitarian attempt to tell us what to think by controlling what we are allowed to say.” — Robert Stacy McCain, May 4 Who is turning rape into a joke? Feminists, by their counterfactual insistence that American university campuses are […]

Facts Are the New Hate

The #YesAllWomen hashtag has been going crazy all day because of a Washington Post column by Brad Wilcox and Robin Wilson which demonstrates — as a matter of social science — what all social scientists already know: Marriage is highly correlated with good outcomes for women and children. This isn’t really controversial, if you have […]

‘This Feminist Community That I’d Like to Consider Myself a Part Of’

The pathetic phrase quoted in the headline was spoken by Daniel Kopin in an interview with Cathy Young. Kopin, 21, is a Brown University student who was suspended after a school disciplinary proceeding in which he was found responsible for “sexual misconduct” with his ex-girlfriend and fellow Brown student Lena Sclove. It’s an interesting story: […]

#RapeCulture Liberal Logic™

Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit today published a commentary on a story that seemed familiar, so I double-checked. Amanda Kijera’s account of being raped in Haiti was originally published at the progressive blog Alternet in April 2010, but has apparently been deleted since then. However, its authenticity can be verified from other contemporaneous sources, e.g., […]

Feminists Protest Against Equality

Despite my extensive critical writing about feminism, I have never considered myself a “Men’s Rights Activist” (MRA), simply because I have different concerns than do MRAs and see the problem of feminism differently. MRAs seem to spend a lot of time complaining that men get screwed over in divorce settlements and child custody; I’m a […]
