Obama Endorses Feminist Folly

The myth that women are systematically underpaid — that they’re paid a fraction of what men are paid for the same work — is a basic apples-and-orange error based on comparing the wages of men (on average) with the wages of women (on average) without regard to their occupations, educational levels or years of workplace […]

Feminists Lie: Why @WendyDavisTexas’s Dishonest Personal Narrative Matters

Professor William Jacobson points out that Democrats now claim it is sexist to criticize Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis for her dishonesty, even though “she made her parenting a critical part of her political narrative.” Professor Glenn Reynolds adds: When women say that Wendy Davis is being treated more harshly than a man, I wonder […]

Those Grapes? Totally Sour!

A feminist WORSE than @AmandaMarcotte? Wow! http://t.co/XljuBc56ko via @TwitchyTeam — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) January 26, 2014 Just a small taste of the feminist rant: Every time I hear someone say that feminism is about validating every choice a woman makes I have to fight back vomit.

Wendy Davis Used The Roman Alphabet. Isn’t That “Honesty” For A Democrat?

by Smitty I’m starting to get this crazy feeling that Wendy Davis might not be a good person. I must be sexist. — Dr. Kanko Kreeper (@kankokage) January 20, 2014 I can’t see any level of prevarication in Wendy Davis’s history that has not been normalized by #OccupyResoluteDesk: [Wendy Davis] has admitted to the Dallas […]

Their Propaganda, and Ours

Michael Moynihan has a splendid piece at the Daily Beast: In the bad old days of the Cold War, those Americans sympathetic to Moscow could purchase clumsy Kremlin propaganda at various radical bookstores, stocked with glossy magazines and turgid tracts about collective farms and Stakhanovite iron output. . . . But the spread of capitalist […]
