The Other McCain

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

Slate Scrapes the Bottom

Or maybe “Slate Spanks the Bottom” would be a better way to describe the nadir of editorial judgment whereby the desperate quest for traffic — let’s face it, they’ll do anything to get hits — led them to publish Jillian Keenan’s perverted prose: Once again, I’ve been accused of pedophilia. Well, to be technical, my […]

The Mythic World of Women’s Studies

Are you tired of reality? Do you feel that you are being oppressed by facts and logic? Then you should consider majoring in Women’s Studies at one of our nation’s elite universities, where your liberated consciousness is protected from these hateful forces of patriarchy. Just ask Sarah Blugis of George Washington University: Why you should […]

‘Erection Equals Consent’?

This is a phrase I never expected to encounter and, when I saw the headline, I misunderstood what the writer meant by it: The flesh is weak: On the Erection Equals Consent rape myth What I expected, based on that headline, was an argument by a feminist “deconstructing” the common claim that men are unable to […]

Sudden Onset Lesbian Syndrome

“Men who rule, and male leftists who seek to rule, try to depoliticize sex . . . in order to prevent us from acting to end our oppression and challenging their power.

For quite some time, I’ve seen a quote from Professor Gearhart posted in various places around the Internet: […]

Feminist Theory, Human Nature and the Punch Seen ‘Round the World

It’s all so calculated. She’s got a calculator. She’s my soft touch typewriter And I’m the great dictator. Two little Hitlers Will fight it out until One little Hitler Does the other one’s will. — Elvis Costello, 1979 Watching the video in which Ray Rice knocked out his fiancée (now wife) Janay, the thought occurs: […]

The Rocky Horror Parenting Show

Most parenting “trends” are bad. In general, as a parent, you should strive to be as old-fashioned as possible. Even if your children subsequently rebel against your authority — as, predictably, most kids do — you need to give them an actual authority to rebel against. And then you crush the rebellion like Darth Vader wiping […]

Lesbian Student Describes How She Was ‘Violated Physically and Emotionally’

This story shocked me. Sure, I understood how Lesbian Chic propaganda conceals the heartache, exploitation, abuse and violence that occurs between women. Yes, I realized that the “rape culture” rhetoric and angry lectures about “consent” were cynical political posturing intended to leverage the militant anti-male/anti-heterosexual ideology of radical feminism being promulgated by Women’s Studies programs […]
