The Other McCain

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

Fertility Facts: ‘It’s Not That We’re Stupid. It’s That We’ve Been Misinformed.’

At last, intelligent women are starting to speak out about how they’ve been misled about basic facts of reproductive science: From the outside, Holly Finn certainly looks fertile. With shoulder-length dark hair, smooth skin and a slim but curvaceous figure, the San Francisco-area writer could be any young mom with a baby on her hip. […]

‘The People Who Peddle This Stuff Deserve Neither Respect, Nor Credit for Good Intentions, Which in Fact They Lack.’

So says Professor Glenn Reynolds about those vicious feminist ax-grinders whose hatefulness is at least partly inspired by their self-interest as brokers at the redemption window where ordinary molehills of hurt feelings can be exchanged for Himalyayas of entitled victimhood: The words used in workshops — “uncomfortable,” “inappropriate,” “hostile” — are vague, subjective, slippery. Feminists […]

Be Careful What You Wish For

Q: “People think you are very hostile to men.” Andrea Dworkin: “I am.” This quote from, and picture of, a pioneering feminist leader comes from an excellent essay called “Women on the Left,” by Alex Kurtagic at Alternative Right. And the reason I’m imposing Ms. Dworkin’s image and ideas on you is because “Guy,” a […]

More Sex, Less Babies?

Reader Matt K. calls to my attention the compare-and-discuss juxtaposition of two items at Instapundit.

Not All Feminists Are Ugly and Humorless

There are exceptions that prove the rule, including members of the Ukrainian feminist group “Femen,” who staged a topless protest in front of the Saudi embassy in Kiev last month. How do you say “Not Safe for Work” in Ukrainian?

Another Song for @AmandaMarcotte

OK, it’s not quite up there with “Under My Thumb” as a sexist anthem, but the Beatles’ “You Can’t Do That” is still great rock-and-roll, so you know Amanda Marcotte hates it. I’ve got somethin’ to say that might cause you pain. If I catch you talkin’ to that boy again I’m gonna let you […]

This Song Is for @AmandaMarcotte

Because I am now currently on a plane flying to Iowa, I had to schedule some posts ahead of time. Yesterday I heard this classic Rolling Stones hit on the radio. For some reason, it made me think of Amanda Marcotte. It’s down to me, The way she talks when she’s spoken to. Down to […]
