Your Vagina Is Sudetenland, and Other Helpful Advice for Young Ladies
Pete Da Tech Guy calls attention to my comment yesterday about the totalitarian impulse of the boner: Young women who think they can negotiate with the erect penis are in a situation very much like Neville Chamberlain trying to appease Hitler. All wise young ladies understand this and, with thousands of young ladies about to […]
Taking Feminism Seriously
In 2009, we began National Offend a Feminist Month, which always ends on Mother’s Day (because feminism is about killing babies, that’s why) and which is generally celebrated with cheerful good humor, mocking the hateful humorlessness of distaff Marxism. The jokes are fun, but this doesn’t mean that feminism is not a deadly menace […]
Yes, Ma’am, However …
[Picture removed] OK, my “SlutWalkDC” photos got zapped — blame Joan of Arc — but a guy named Ted got a photo of me taking a photo. As for the girl’s poster, it should be the title of a TV series, or maybe a textbook, but it’s at least a T-shirt slogan. However, thinking back to […]
WRONG. WRONG. WRONG.
OK, the story that was here is gone. Having heard from the girl in the photo, who made it clear that I misread her “SlutWalk DC” protest sign, I decided that a mere correction was insufficient. Her sign said she “didn’t want to press charges,” and my concern was that the perpetrator (the 24-year-old who […]

Slut Walk: Dumbed-Down Feminism and the Politics of Mindless Protest Chic
Today at 11 a.m., angry women — perhaps dozens of them — will gather in Washington for “SlutWalk DC,” a fundamentally pointless exercise in public stupidity that will accomplish nothing except to give the participants a chance to say they’ve done something. Like many other such left-wing protests, SlutWalk DC is basically about political tribalism, […]
Bill Nye the Science Guy: Harasser?
In the wake of the atheist sex scandal we reported Tuesday, someone in the “skeptic” community (as these soi-dissant rationalists refer to themselves) created a Tumblr blog called “More Will Be Named” that expanded the list of accused harassers beyond Skeptical Inquirer deputy editor Ben Radford. Before that Tumblr was deleted (for reasons unknown) former […]
Colin McGinn (D-Philosophy): The New York Times Wants a ‘Debate Over Sexism’
Long story short: Philosophy professor Colin McGinn has resigned from the University of Miami after being accused of sexual harassment by a graduate student. This, according to the New York Times, has caused a “Debate Over Sexism” because most philosophy professors are men and life just sucks for women seeking academic careers in philosophy. Patriarchy, […]
