I try to ignore the drearier provocations. So, when I heard that Superman is now homosexual and fighting for truth, justice and the American gay, my initial reaction was merely surprise that he hadn't gone gay already; surely by now he should be trans or Muslim or both.
Likewise, when informed that Playboy's successor to Marilyn Monroe and Barbi Benton is its first "openly gay" male cover star wearing a bunny costume that he, alas, can't quite fill, I felt only a mild pang of admiration for the thoroughness of the totalitarian left: the last three heterosexual men in America are to be denied even the consolations of girlie mags with girlies.
As you'll know if you heard my serialization of Nineteen Eighty-Four, in Orwell's dystopia pornography was encouraged by the state as a diversion for the masses from the ever tightening throttle of totalitarianism. In our more ambitious dystopia, even pornography is merely another mechanism for societal transformation.
Kate Smyth, doyenne of Australian Steyn Clubbers, writes in our comment section:
In terms of 'Wokism' as a religion - and noting, as Mark often laments, that it is essentially American in origin (not French) - one Club member (it may have been Wayne?) speculated that it might have its roots in Puritan attitudes.

I so miss Mark’s commentary on Rush’s show.
Barbie…what a doll!
Is that Linda Ronstadt? Beautiful woman.
Barbie Benton.... OMG.
I do too.
Miss Rush all the time. I would really love to hear his comments about the current state of affairs.
It is reassuring to read Mark Steyn saying, “Yes, this society has become as insane as you think it is.”
I had forgotten all about her til Steyn mentioned her.
Excellent article by Mark Steyn. I wish he had taken over Rush’s spot. He’s a lot like Rush, incisive and humorous.
Thanks for posting it.
“The Stampede to Stupid”
Great article. I would only change the title to “Stampede to Insanity”.
These days, every time I read a Steyn column, I kick myself for having an electric oven.
“Eric Weinstein says we are committing “national suicide”
Wonder Who Weinstein thinks is “we”.
Truthfullly, the “we” are voters. We’ll see how they feel in a few months.
You are going to wear that joke out! ;)
Next time I'll lament my electric razor!
That is Barbi Benton😳😳😳
