Why Facts Matter

“Bad causes attract bad people,” I observed in 2013, when explaining why deranged, dishonest and deviant personalities had been attracted to the “Free Kate” banner, supporting teenage sex offender Kaitlyn Hunt.   Honest, sane, normal people would never associate themselves with such a bad cause, and so bad behavior by Kaitlyn Hunt’s supporters — including death […]

Joyce Trebilcot Award Nominee

Elizabeth Stoker Bruenig (@ebruenig) “grew up in Dallas in a predictably right-wing household, and as a high school kid, had some pretty right-wing ‘opinions’ of my own that I parroted from my folks”: Then, I volunteered to teach Sunday school to kindergarteners at my church. I became very troubled by the notion that I might […]

Feminists Against Heterosexuality

Jenika McCrayer (@JenikaMc) has “a BA in Women and Gender Studies from The College of William and Mary” and is currently working on her master’s degree in the same field.

The Standards of Liberal Journalism Are Every Bit as Real as ‘Haven Monahan’

Now the […]

What Feminists Believe: ‘Gender Is a Social Construct That Oppresses Everyone’

Having explained “What Feminists Mean by ‘Equality,’” let me now introduce you to this typical expression of feminist belief: I am a radfem. I want women’s liberation and the destruction of patriarchy. . . . I think men who do not support feminists are misogynists. I am a gender abolitionist because gender is a social […]

What Feminists Mean by ‘Equality’

She is a 21-year-old “biracial Cubana radical feminist” who calls herself a “PERF (penis-exclusionary radical feminist),” and let’s read her explanation of feminist gender theory: Gender creates the differences between the sexes. It celebrates inequality and it glamorizes the subordinate status of females — therefore gender is the embodiment of sexism. . . . Gender’s […]

Who Are These Creepazoids?

Nine times out of 10, the stuff I read on feminist blogs is either so intellectually dishonest as to inspire laughter — or indignation that anyone, man or woman, could take it seriously.
