The patriarchy is keeping Naomi Wolf up at night.
Young girls in Yemen are forced into marriages with adult men, lesbians in South Africa face “corrective rape,” and women throughout the Muslim world suffer indignity, violence, and death under Sharia law. But that’s not the sort of horrific oppression interrupting Wolf’s beauty rest.
The “next big issue” [...]

February 26, 2010 By Leave a Comment
When blogger Penelope Trunk tweeted her miscarriage last year, a writer at Double X urged women to take the idea even further in a piece called Go Ahead, Tweet Your Abortion. And now someone has done just that.
Shortly after Angie Jackson discovered she was pregnant, she announced her plans to broadcast the grisly details of [...]
Feminism: The Masquerade
February 24, 2010 By Leave a Comment
You’ve got a long way to go, baby. And don’t you forget it.
This oasis of freedom and equality we call the United States? It’s all a mirage, says leftist feminist Jessica Valenti. In fact, “We’re suffering under the mass delusion that women in America have achieved equality.”
Well, thanks for the armchair diagnosis, Jessica, but I [...]

February 23, 2010 By Leave a Comment
The New York chapter of mighty, mighty ACORN is now mighty, mighty NY Communities for Change. It doesn’t have quite the same ring, does it?
As the national ACORN organization attempts to scam Americans by rebranding scandal-plagued local chapters, what will become of the New York educational institutions that share the ACORN name?

February 20, 2010 By Leave a Comment
“She was black, they were white, and race and sex were in the air.” That’s how a Washington Post columnist described the atmosphere that led to the brutal gang rape of Crystal Mangum by a group of Duke University lacrosse players in 2006. You remember, right? That was the violent, racially motivated hate crime that [...]
The Magical Thinking of an Atheist Commenter
February 18, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Wednesday morning I published a piece about the media’s unsurprising embrace of Bart Centre, the anti-theist whose Web site offers devout Christians a chance to purchase post-Rapture pet care contracts. Bart dropped by NewsReal to “correct one or two errors” in my post. Four comments later, I’m still waiting for him to point out an [...]
The Post-Rapture Pet Care Publicity Stunt
February 17, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Bart Centre runs Eternal Earth-Bound Pets, a Web site that promises “the next best thing to pet salvation in a Post Rapture World.” He’s also a militant atheist. For a one-time payment of $110, Centre guarantees that a “confirmed atheist” will adopt your pet if the Rapture occurs in the next decade and Fido is [...]

February 14, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Filmmaker Kevin Smith (Clerks, Dogma) was thrown off a Southwest Airlines plane Saturday night when the flight crew determined he posed a “safety risk” due to his size. The overweight celeb immediately took to Twitter to air his grievances. Here’s his multi-tweet tantrum (organized into paragraphs for semi-coherence):
Dear @SouthwestAir – I know I’m fat, [...]
Get ‘Em While They’re Young: Radical Feminism for 4th Graders
February 11, 2010 By Leave a Comment
In 2009, Ileana Jiménez asked her class of high school juniors and seniors to write letters to President Obama about “the ways in which feminism might be addressed in the curriculum.” Earlier this week she shared one letter on her blog, Feminist Teacher.
It is understandable that teachers cannot be expected to cram decades of struggles [...]
