Marriage, Success and Feminism

Bradley Wilcox has an excellent article at The Atlantic showing the data that correlates marriage to economic outcomes for children. This is reminiscent of one of the most best articles ever published by The Atlantic, Barbara Dafoe Whitehead’s 1993 “Dan Quayle Was Right.” You may remember the controversy referenced in the title: Vice President Quayle […]

The Drunk Sluts Rights Movement

Back in August, when I covered “SlutWalk DC,” I observed: Date rape is an apparently common campus crime that usually involves two drunk young people, one of whom has an erect penis, and the other of whom is unable to avert what the erect penis typically does. Of course, feminists would denounce such a statement […]

Meg Lanker, Feminist Who Threatened to ‘Hate-F*ck’ Herself, Cops a Plea Bargain

Who can forget the terror that gripped the University of Wyoming campus in spring after this ominous Facebook threat: “I want to hatef–k Meg Lanker Simons so hard.

It is also important to […]

Complementarity vs. Androgyny

“If Americans can be divorced for ‘incompatibility of temper’ I cannot conceive why they are not all divorced. I have known many happy marriages, but never a compatible one. The whole aim of marriage is to fight through and survive the instant when incompatibility becomes unquestionable. For a man and a woman, as such, are […]

Women’s Empowerment

“Trying not to over-think it, I raised the gun, located the target, and pulled the trigger of the .22. The gun barked, kicking in my hands. I hadn’t hit the black square in the center, but I wasn’t far from it. Roe kept coaching me, I kept firing, and 45 minutes later, when we switched […]

Catholic Education: C**ts & Communism

Would you believe that this was part of the curriculum of a radical feminist workshop sponsored by a Catholic University?   Marquette University in Wisconsin hosted this “FemSex” workshop last spring and, while the university has announced it will no longer sponsor “FemSex,” the fact that the administration at a Catholic university thought this course […]
