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

What Women’s Studies Teaches

Toni Airaksinen (@Toni_Airaksinen on Twitter) attends elite Barnard College, but she is on scholarship and comes from a blue-collar Midwestern background, which probably accounts for both her common sense and extraordinary courage: As a student at Barnard College, one of the few women’s colleges in America, identifying as a feminist is de rigueur. Just like […]

Courtesy Is Now ‘Rape Culture’

In an astounding leap of feminist logic, Berkeley law student Courtney Fraser condemns chivalry as “benevolent sexism,” blaming “sexual violence against women” on “the perpetuation of rape culture, which normalizes this violence.” Of course, “the age of chivalry is gone,” as Edmund Burke observed in 1790, but feminists are fiercely determined to eradicate whatever vestiges […]

More Tumblr Feminism

The logic of totalitarian hatred is impeccable: Psst: men will never support actual feminism because actual feminism is about female liberation from males. Think critically about it. Why would the dominant class want to help those they’ve built an entire society around the domination of? They wouldn’t. The only feminism that men support is the ~libfem~ […]

Feminist Tumblr Syndrome

The abundant research showing that, on average, boys actually […]

Marriage Matters

Melissa Braunstein (@slowhoneybee on Twitter) is one of the handful of conservatives — along with Christina Hoff Sommers and Ashe Schow — who work the feminism beat on a full-time basis. She has an excellent article at The Federalist about the A&E series “Married at First Sight”: Jann Gumbiner, a licensed psychologist and clinical professor […]

Muslim Rape Gangs Attack Women, and Feminists Won’t Say a Word About It

Sexual savagery on the streets of Germany: Roving packs of men sexually assaulted dozens of women on New Year’s Eve in western Germany’s city of Cologne, officials said, describing the attacks as unprecedented. The spree suggested a “new dimension of organized criminality,” German justice minister Heiko Maas told a press conference on Tuesday. Police said […]

Bad Advice From Bad Women

Charlotte Shane (@CharoShane) is a slut who writes about sex. There are a lot of these around lately. I blame Sex and the City, or maybe let’s go back further and blame Helen Gurley Brown. At any rate, the ambition of every young female English major nowadays is (a) to have sex with dozens of […]
