Feminism’s Predictable Consequences: ‘Our Society at Large … Hates Women’

What is the effect of feminism on males? How does a constant barrage of anti-male/anti-heterosexual discourse influence men? Newton’s Third Law of Motion — for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction — can be applied to group psychology. Confronted with hostile criticism, some people will comply (the equal reaction), attempting to conform […]

Feminist Author @PennyRed Quotes Bolshevik Commissar’s Anti-Love Advice

In her most recent book, controversial British feminist Laurie Penny treats her unsuspecting young readers to Soviet propaganda, quoting a Bolshevik commissar’s denunciation of romantic love — without bothering to identify Alexandra Kollontai as the top female official in Vladimir Lenin’s Communist revolutionary regime. A contributing editor for The New Statesman, Penny attacks “the neoliberal […]

Feminism’s Big Lie

“Radical Feminism is, and has always been a political movement focused on liberating girls and women, those who are born into the sex caste female, from the unnatural, yet universal roles patriarchy has assigned.” — Radicalmamaw.tumblr.com, July 26, 2014 “Women who are sane, normal and happy do not become feminists, because such women do not […]

This self-congratulatory pose of feminist superiority gets annoying, especially considering I’ve spent all day plowing through the […]

Two Victims, No Crime

Corey Mock is not a rapist, but he is also no longer a wrestler at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga, because he was accused of rape by a fellow UTC student named Molly Morris. Morris’s version of the story is told at Vice Sports and includes the claim that someone at a party spiked her drink. […]

UVA Fraternity Cleared by Police, But Fraternities Are Punished Anyway

Jackie’s story was fake, but as Allahpundit says, “someone needs to intervene to stop the sort of gang rape that never actually happened to Jackie,” so despite the dishonesty and journalistic malpractice, there are new rules for fraternities at the University of Virginia: The University chapter of Phi Kappa Psi was officially reinstated by both […]

Feminism and Sex: ‘Bad, Dumb, and Desperately Unfun and Unsexy’

Anna Merlan’s verdict on a destined-for-infamy scene in Girls can best be understood as a verdict on Lena Dunham’s feminist ethos. Dunham’s ethos, in turn, can best be understood as an expression of the decadent cultural values of 21st-century “progressives”: They are the Nowhere People — rootless, without loyalty to family, community or religious tradition, and […]
