Young Women: This Probably Explains Why Guys Only Want You For Sex

Because you’re not any good for anything else: Basic “female” skills are becoming endangered with fewer young women able to iron a shirt, cook a roast chicken or hem a skirt. Just as more modern men are unable to complete traditional male tasks, new research shows Generation Y women can’t do the chores their mothers and grandmothers […]

Feminism Is to Honest Debate What Kermit Gosnell Is to Humanitarianism

Which is to say, its antithesis: I think we’re all pretty well agreed that if the charges against Kermit Gosnell are true, then dude is a criminal and needs to go to jail. Killing a baby after it’s born and has taken breaths? Is not abortion. It should be, and is, a crime punishable by […]

Fear of a Republican Uterus

James Taranto gets very close to the core of the dynamic behind Palin Derangement Syndrome:  Why does their hatred of her burn so hot? Ask them, and they’ll most likely tell you: Because she’s a moron. But that is obviously false. . . . They say she is uneducated. What they mean is that her […]

The Dangerous Myth of Sexual Equality

A Song for All My Feminist Fans

When she asked him if he […]

Unwatchable BloggingHeadsTV Episode in Which I’m Mentioned

Amanda Marcotte and Maureen “Moe” Tkacik discuss the rape accusations against Julian Assange — including the feminist rage over “rape apologism” — and one of my posts is allegedly discussed but (a) like most episodes of BloggingHeadsTV, this is quite nearly unwatchable; and (b) even if it were watchable, my house is too doggone noisy […]

What Line Did Sady Doyle Cross?

Today I got a Tweet from the feminist who started the #MooreandMe campaign against Michael Moore. You will recall that Moore went on Keith Olbermann’s show and dismissed as “hooey” the rape accusations against WikiLeaks mogul Julian Assange. And when Sady Doyle started her Twitter campaign against Moore, my headline was, “Merry Christmas, America: Feminists […]
