The Other McCain

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

Gender Insanity for $45,078 a Year

Caroline Narby is “five feet tall and pudgy,” she tells us at the beginning of her article “My Butchness,” a rather solipsistic 2,000-word discussion of her sexual identity. Of course, I graduated from a third-tier state university in Alabama, where using a fancy word like “solipsistic” would be considered kind of a show-off move, but […]

Feminism Requires a Theory of the Moral and Intellectual Inferiority of Males

If women are systematically oppressed by males, as feminist theory insists, the perpetrators and beneficiaries of this oppression — i.e., males — must be selfish and cruel. Quod erat demonstrandum. After my previously described encounter with a Wellesley graduate, I continued my tour of the online lunatic asylum that is Feminist Tumblr, and came across […]

Is Sexual Desire Dehumanizing?

Studying feminist theory requires an ability to maintain sanity in the constant presence of madness. Today while making my rounds inside the online feminist lunatic asylum, I encountered this: When women say “But I like to be objectified! Doesn’t everybody, sometimes?” it used to annoy me, but now it just breaks my heart a little. […]

Kim Jones, 56, was shot in the head at 9:30 a.m. while she was standing on the corner of 12th and Jefferson streets near Temple University, […]

Sex, Lies and ‘Broken People’

Bobby Bradshaw spent seven months in jail because a crazy woman with a fake Russian accent falsely accused him of rape: “If everyone knew the whole story, they could make a movie out of it,” he said. “It’s something you couldn’t write. It’s too crazy.” . . . At the July hearing, the woman, speaking […]

Caught in a Web of Lies at UVA

Oh! What a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive. — Sir Walter Scott Police in Charlottesville, Virginia, spent months investigating the claims made in a Rolling Stone story and found no truth: A four-month police investigation into an alleged gang rape at the University of Virginia that Rolling Stone magazine described […]

The #NYFLC2015 Agenda

OK, I previously included excerpts of this extraordinarily queer program from the National Young Feminist Leadership Conference. Now I have uploaded the full document: #NYFLC2015 Feminist Conference Agenda As I said previously, I must apologize for the low quality of this scan because the Feminist Majority Agenda didn’t list the panel descriptions or name the participants […]
