The Other McCain

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

Jill Filipovic and Amanda Marcotte to Denounce Keith Olbermann in 3, 2, 1 . . .

Defenders of Julian Assange are now “downshifting from Camille Paglia to Three Days of the Condor,” resorting to a conspiracy-theory defense of the WikiLeaker’s First Amendment right to condom-free sex with Swedish socialists: Here’s how an evidence-free, innuendo-filled personal attack on a rape accuser trespasses the mainstream political debate. On his Twitter feed, MSNBC host […]

Unintentional Hilarity: Feminists Ask If Julian Assange Committed ‘Rape-Rape’

Exactly why this showed up on Memeorandum, I don’t know, but with a headline like “Some thoughts on ‘sex by surprise,’” I had to click and it’s Jill Filipovic at Feministing: There’s a lot going around in bloglandia and on the interwebs about WikiLeaks honcho Julian Assange’s sexual assault charge in Sweden; commentators are saying […]

Bristol Palin, Margaret Cho, Kathy Griffin and the Politics of Sexual Destruction

“Everyone was trying to pit me against Bristol, but the truth is, we got along well. She never asked me to babysit Tripp or anything like that, but I consider her a friend. . . . I really like Bristol as a person. . . . I am proud of her for shaking her ass!” […]

Blame Feminism?

“[T]he goal of third-wave (gender) feminism is the destruction of marriage because of the ‘unequal’ male/female roles inherent in marriage. Third-wave feminists pushed early sex education, recreational pre-marital sex and taxpayer-funded abortion as a way to de-couple sex from marriage. . . . [P]re-marital sex reduces the stability of marriages, and the effect is increased […]

Shrieking Outrage in 3, 2, 1 . . .

“The women’s movement used to be about honoring for women the same God-given rights that our country honored for men. It used to be about dignity and hope. It used to be about respecting women by respecting their choices — whether it is to be a nuclear engineer or a stay-at-home mom — not denigrating […]

Sarah Palin and ‘Feminism’

“Certainly, no feminist can be expected to defend a conservative woman. To quote Palin-hating feminist Jessica Valenti, feminism is ‘a social justice movement,’ a radical ideology akin to Marxism.” — Robert Stacy McCain, June 3, 2010 As the originator of “National Offend a Feminist Week” — our motto: Equality Is For Ugly Losers — I […]

You Know How the Left Has This Bad Habit of Oversimplifying Stories?

Yeah, they claim to be all nuanced and everything, but progressives love nothing so much as to boil down complex situations into tidy “just so” morality plays. And, as pointed out here earlier this week, that’s what the Left did with a 5th Circuit of Appeals ruling in a First Amendment case, which got twisted into a […]

‘Sexism’ in the Sexualized Society

In 1981, KMBC-TV removed Christine Craft from her position as a news anchor, after a focus group rated her poorly, saying that the 37-year-old newswoman was “too old.” Craft filed a sexual-discrimination suit against the Kansas City ABC affiliate under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and such lawsuits have since become rather common: […]
