Victimhood Has Become A Badge Of Honor On Campus

by Alex Pfeiffer.       Weaklings now revered. A journal article by two sociologists suggests the rise of microaggressions stems from a culture of victimhood that celebrates the aggrieved and perceives them as virtuous martyrs – most notably on college campuses. Making matters worse, this perception is fostered by administrations that coddle and       ... MORE

Girls Rights Matter: Over 150 Students Walk Out Of School To Protest Transgender Teen Using Girl’s Locker Room

Gender-blender news.  Over 150 Missouri high school students voiced their displeasure about a transgender teen using the girl’s locker room by walking out of class. How do you gel the sides and parents who are worried about their children. “You really don’t,” Schowalter says. “It’s going to end up in court. And that is where most of these issues are     ...

Tammy Bruce: The Real War On Women

It must be admitted. There is a war on women.  The Democrats have been screaming about this for years, and they should know. Because the war is their war on women all across the socioeconomic spectrum. Under President Obama, more women are unemployed, fewer women have started new businesses, we lost our health insurance, our doctors ... MORE

Religious Sex Perverts: ISIS Enshrines A Theology Of Rape

by Rukmini Callimachi.  In the moments before he raped the 12-year-old girl, the Islamic State fighter took the time to explain that what he was about to do was not a sin.  Because the preteen girl practiced a religion other than Islam, the Quran not only gave him the right to rape her — it condoned and encouraged it, he insisted.  He bound her hands    ...

G Bentley: Paper Explodes Feminist Myth That Women Are As Horny As Men And Calls For Legalization Of Prostitution

It is what it is.   Men’s demand for sex far outstrips that of women and the gap is set to widen with major implications for laws surrounding prostitution, according to a new paper from the Institute of Economic Affairs. One of the key claims in the IEA paper is that there is a major gap between men and women in sexual desire. “Male sexual      ... MORE

Walter E Williams: Legal And Academic Equality Nonsense

Disproportionality is not inequality.     A particular act or policy might not have a discriminatory intent, but that doesn't let you off the hook. If it has a disproportionately negative impact on so-called protected classes, it is said to have a disparate impact and risks being prohibited by law. The uninformed assumption made by judges, lawyers and    ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: Micro-totalitarianism

Small people have small ways.  The political left has come up with a new buzzword: "micro-aggression." Professors at the University of California at Berkeley have been officially warned against saying such things as "America is the land of opportunity." Why? Because this is considered to be an act of "micro-aggression" against minorities  ... MORE

Edward Cline: The Prancing Unicorn Of Bruce Jenner

He (XY chromosome) is what he is.    No matter where I turned on the Internet today, I encountered the Vanity Fair cover of Bruce Jenner pretending to be a woman. I got so sick of encountering that cover that I decided to write about it. Transgenders, apparently, are the new privileged minority. Just as Muslims are. A Muslim baker or    ... MORE

Katherine Mangu-Ward: Why Don't Women Like Rand Paul?

A bad job of marketing liberty to women?   Today at The New Republic, Jeet Heer asks why libertarians are mostly dudes, inspired by Sen. Rand Paul's polling gender gap, which shows the Kentucky Republitarian pulling 13 percent of the male primary vote and only 2 percent of females: Why is Paul so unpopular among women?   ... MORE

Calling Bruce Jenner A Woman Is An Insult To Women

by Matt Walsh.     It is what it is. The picture is plastered right on the cover of the next Vanity Fair issue, and it shows Bruce dolled up in makeup and hair extensions, posing in a corset, with parts of his face, forehead, and throat shaved off for cosmetic reasons, and his chest enhanced by hormone pills, Photoshop, and silicone. The idea is to make     ... MORE

Walter E Williams: Liberals Respect Me

Treated like a white man.     During the early years of the Reagan administration, a Washington news conference was held for me for my first book, "The State Against Blacks." Before making summary statements about the book, I offered the reporters assembled that they could treat me like a white person. They could ask me hard, pressing questions.  ... MORE

Jeremy Egerer: Should Women Be Allowed To Drink?

A sobering thought.    In an age of social liberalism, you can expect to see many things become legal. One thing that hasn't become legal and that almost nobody has considered legalizing is childhood drinking.  And the reason nobody has really suggested it is because each and every one of us knows that children are idiots. You never really know what    ... MORE

Walter E Williams: Some Odds And Ends

Wise observations.   Occasionally, I wonder whether I'm alone in some of my wonderings. Look at the claim that conservatives or Republicans have launched a war on women as a part of their overall mean-spirited agenda. In the case of mistreatment of women — or of anyone else — assault, rape and murder are about as horrible as it gets.     ... MORE

Brendan O'Neill: Meet The Vagina Voters

Voting for Hillary because she's a woman.     "I intend to vote with my vagina." Have you ever read a more squirm-inducing sentence than that? It appeared in a pro-Hillary piece in Dame magazine, written by a person with a vagina who intends to vote for Clinton because she also has a vagina. Let's leave aside the unfortunate image conjured up by   ...

Special Operations Troops Doubt Women Can Do The Job

by Lolita C. Baldor.  Expect lower standards to come. Surveys find that men in U.S. special operations forces do not believe women can meet the physical and mental demands of their commando jobs, and they fear the Pentagon will lower standards to integrate women into their elite units, according to interviews and documents. Studies that surveyed   ... MORE
