The Insufficient Man-Hating of ‘Frozen’

Dani Colman (@DirectorDaniC) is both a feminist and a good writer, a rare combination in an age when the repetition of gender-theory jargon and a hatred of Republicans are considered sufficient qualifications for any woman to be hailed as the Next Great Feminist Intellectual. While I was attempting to find another article, I instead stumbled […]

The #GamerGate White Knight Syndrome

The troll @streever jumped into my Twitter timeline Friday to challenge my assertion that “Feminism is anti-male, anti-heterosexual and — most importantly — ANTI-FREEDOM.” This inspired me to reiterate the basic theme of the “Sex Trouble” series, by way of demonstrating its relevance to the #GamerGate controversy. Pause now to consider: I spent weeks ignoring […]

Anti-Heterosexual #Feminism

My #GamerGate coverage had only just begun when @streever — who obviously doesn’t know me from Adam’s housecat — made the mistake of disputing my authority to describe feminism as “anti-male and anti-heterosexual.” This is not necessarily @streever‘s fault. The whole point of my “Sex Trouble” series about radical feminism’s war on human nature is […]

The #GamerGate Hate Hoax

This involves portraying themselves as victims of horrific harassment and criminal threats. Who is engaging in this harassment? Who is making […]

Incest, Witchcraft and Other Forms of ‘Moral Progress,’ Ancient and Modern

Jesse Bering (@JesseBering) proclaimed that legalizing incest between adult siblings is “moral progress” Thursday at Huffington Post and the remarkable thing is that almost nobody noticed. Just another “expert” endorsing our society’s rapid descent into perverse decadence: “I suppose I take an unpopular view that it’s actually moral progress,” Jesse Bering, who is the author […]

The Indecent Mind of Andrea Dworkin

  “Intercourse occurs in a context of a power relation that is pervasive and incontrovertible. The context . . . is one in which men have social, economic, political power over women. Some men do not have all those kinds of power over all women; but all men have some kinds of power over all […]

‘Destroying Her Husband’s Life … Taking Back Power for Women Everywhere’

Ben Affleck stars as Nick Dunne in Gone Girl. “On the occasion of his fifth wedding anniversary, Nick Dunne reports that his beautiful wife, Amy, has gone missing. Under pressure from the police and a growing media frenzy, Nick’s portrait of a blissful union begins to crumble. Soon his lies, deceits and strange behavior have […]

Gender Theory Hits K-12 Schools

When I describe radical feminism as taught in university Women’s Studies programs, one typical reaction is, “So what? That’s just a bunch of academics. Besides, wait until those idiots get their Women’s Studies degrees. Where are they gonna get a job?” Maybe your child’s school. Katherine Timpf reports at National Review: A Nebraska school district has instructed its […]
