John Stossel: Battle Of The Sexes
Different choices make for different rewards. Women make only 77 cents per each dollar made by males. Outrageous! Sex discrimination! So say advocates of government-enforced "equality." But they are wrong. Women today are rarely victims of salary discrimination. If they were, market competition would punish bosses who ... MORE

College Girls, Bottled Water & The American Police State
by John Whitehead. What do college girls and bottled water have to do with the emerging American police state? Quite a bit, it seems. Public outcry has gone viral over an incident in which a college student was targeted and terrorized by Alcohol Beverage Control agents (ABC) after she purchased sparkling water at a grocery store. The girl ... MORE
Katie Kieffer: Agency Girls Gone Wild
Too dirty to clean up their acts? Agency girls are going wild. Obama’s leading ladies make students partying on the beach look like amateurs. Misbehavin’ is a resume booster in Washington, D.C. But not the kind of misbehaving that you might think. There are no wet t-shirt contests. It’s a buttoned-up misbehavin’—personified by ... MORE
Women Sue Drug Warriors Over Roadside Cavity Searches
Public servants just protecting the citizens? The two women who are suing after they were subjected to a humiliating and invasive cavity search on a Texas roadside on Memorial Day last year have spoken out about their ordeal. Brandy Hamilton, 26, and Alexandria Randle, 24, told reporters how they were ordered out of their vehicle, not ... MORE
Washington State Castrates Frosty The Snowman
by Mark J. Perry. OK, I might have exaggerated a little bit with that headline and the Frosty photo above. But not by much, and only because Frosty probably doesn’t appear in any state statutes. But a new manpersondate in the state of Washington that legally bans any gender (aka male) bias in state statutes will replace “penmanship” ... MORE
Paul Shlichta: Choice Of Weapons
The gun grabbers forgot about this one. The advocates of gun control seem to believe that, by restricting or eliminating private possession of guns, all violence can be eliminated. However, recent events have tragically demonstrated that would-be assailants have a wide choice of weapons, including knives, explosives, automobiles, ... MORE
Katie Kieffer: Why Women's Issues Are Men's Issues Too
The reclassification of freedom issues. President Obama and Sandra Fluke both callthemselves lawyers and
“reproductive rights activists” without giving you any indication that
they understand the Constitution or basic biology. I’m not a lawyer, but I understand the Constitution. I’m not a
reproductive rights activist, but I aced ... MORE
Why Blacks And Women Should Not Have Guns
by William A Levinson. The Democratic Party believes that it owns the African-American vote, and it also looks to women for much of its support. This support requires serious reconsideration. The Colorado Democratic Party, as represented by State Rep. Joe Salazar, has said openly that women are too mentally unstable to handle firearms ... MORE
Shawn Mitchell: On Disarming American Women
Whistle while your raped. Freshman lawmaker Joe Salazar, (D. Thornton) became an embarrassing distraction for the liberal juggernaut in Colorado last week when he blurted out what he really thinks of the Second Amendment, the right of self defense, and the faculties of women in peril. Hint: His views are appalling. As backlash developed, Salazar ... MORE

Michelle Malkin: Disarming American Women
The Left: Fight rapists with pens, urine, vomit, tears. If radical gun-grabbers have their way, your daughters, mothers, and grandmothers will have nothing but whistles, pens, and bodily fluids with which to defend themselves against violent attackers and sexual predators. Women of all ages, races, and political backgrounds should be up in arms over ... MORE
Walter E Williams: Women In Combat
Inequality in the name of equality. A senior Defense Department official said the ban on women in combat should be lifted because the military's goal is "to provide a level, gender-neutral playing field." I'd like to think the goal of the military should be to have the toughest, meanest fighting force possible. But let's look at "gender-neutral playing ... MORE

Katie Kieffer: How Gays And Women Get Their Own Way
Should strive toward equality, not social acceptance. Gays can be leaders. Women can be leaders. Without realizing it, I
think gays and women inadvertently work against their own objective of
equality when they force private organizations to support gay and female
leaders. As I wrote here,
gays and women are already equal ... MORE
Barry Farber: Females At The Flanks?
Men should do the fighting. This is a column opposing the use of women in combat, but let me tell you what kind of column this is not. It’s not going to slam you with the same old arguments about women being weaker, less able to carry a wounded man to safety, destroyers of “unit cohesion” and the “Band of Brothers.” And we know in Israel, ...

Anna Mulrine: Will Women Have To Register For Draft? Yes
A great achievement for women's rights. That may be a difficult question from a societal standpoint, but the answer is straightforward, according to a legal analysis. On Thursday, the Pentagon will lift its ban on women in combat. Now that the Pentagon is lifting its ban on women in combat, does this mean that women could potentially be drafted ... MORE
Melissa Gira Grant: The War On Sex Workers
An unholy alliance of feminists, cops, and conservatives. On August 30, a 19-year-old woman in Ann Arbor, Michigan, was
arrested after a prospective client called 911 on her. He claimed
she raised her fee for services after their initial online contact.
The cops took her away in handcuffs. There’s nothing particularly unusual about this story, ... MORE
SF Gate: Petraeus Scandal Reveals Threat To Privacy
Where did the checks on government go? All Americans who regard privacy as a fundamental right should be unnerved by the breadth and the detail of a search through personal correspondence in the scandal that brought down CIA Director David Petraeus. For a moment, put aside the question of whether Petraeus and Gen. John Allen, the top ... MORE
More Years For Obama, More Tears For America
by Charles Hurt. All that for nothing. It was the billion-dollar election that did not decide one single damned thing. Republicans control the House. Democrats control the Senate. And the White House remains in Democratic hands with absolutely no mandate whatsoever. Another four years with no hope of change. In
this environment with this ... MORE
J Tucker: Regulators Are Destroying Your Home Appliances
Say goodbye to automatic dishwashers that work. Ayn Rand’s novella Anthem, the ebook of the week in the Laissez Faire Club, is a story about a government that hates, fears, and bans technology precisely because it wants to keep the people enslaved in a primitive state of being. Preposterous right? Wrong: this is going on every day right ... MORE
