Generally Speaking, @AmandaMarcotte Is Insane, and Feminism Is Always Wrong

So now, reacting to the firing of Jill Abramson discussed previously, we encounter this commentary from Amanda Marcotte: Women, particularly ambitious women, often feel like they’re in a no-win situation when it comes to climbing the career ladder. They’re told to “lean in” and stop being afraid to ask for what we want. They’re told […]

Was She Too … Bossy?

Gossip swirls after New York Times publisher Pinch Sulzberger fires the paper’s top editor Jill Abramson: Sulzberger and Abramson had a fraught relationship almost from the start of her tenure as executive editor, nearly three years ago.

‘She Passed Out in a Bedroom . . . She Wasn’t Strong Enough to Push Him Away’

When @Belle_Knox — porn alias of Miriam Weeks, the Duke University freshman Women’s Studies major — began telling her story, everyone with an interest in the field of abnormal psychology took notice.

However, just when you […]

Monica Lewinsky has opened up about her infamous presidential affair to reveal that she turned down offers that would’ve amounted to $10million because she ‘didn’t feel like the right thing to do’. (Perhaps if she had been worried about “the right thing to do” before […]

#NOAFW Kinder, Gentler Baby-Killing

Cosmopolitan magazine celebrates the Sacrament of Liberalism: New Jersey abortion clinic counselor Emily Lett got pregnant and recorded a video of her abortion experience, telling her story to “inspire other women to stop the guilt.” Wesley Smith comments: “Ah. good times.
