Her very existence repudiates the left's binary thinking about womanhood, that women have to deny what makes women different from men to achieve professionally. And that's why they hate her. Newest Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett is almost the polar opposite of the “Sex and the City” chimera of female empowerment: a serious Christian who eschews hookup culture and has seven kids. Half of her resume consists of behavior the leftists who control feminism constantly attack as anti-woman: big-time motherhood and big-time religion.Fertile women who are serious about prayer get derided as brainless sex slaves, with the “Handmaid’s Tale”...

How is it that conservatives are snookered time and time again on judicial picks? AMY CONEY BARRETT Above is a photo of the ‘frontrunner’. Say what? Who is saying Barrett is the ‘frontrunner’? Why . . . fake state media, of course. Let’s get something straight, Barrett is not liked by liberals which makes us conservatives feel all gushy and stuff. Seriously, she’s not a liberal pick but if liberals must, they will accept a deal with her as the pick. But ask liberals if they will accept Barbara Lagoa and they will jump in their vans, show up at...

A race row broke out among New York City Hall staffers last month, 11 minutes before Mayor Bill de Blasio was set to give his daily coronavirus briefing and include a nod to the 100th anniversary of woman's suffrage. City Hall emails obtained by the New York Post show that the argument exploded over the wording of talking points prepared for the mayor after they were sent to staffers ahead of his briefing on August 26. The talking points included a commemoration of the centennial of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, while also noting that 'not all women could...

We have long accepted, winked, and nodded at the sexualization of children in ways that are different in degree but not in kind. Facing a mountain of backlash for featuring the movie “Cuties” on its platform, Netflix has defended its decision by protesting that, by engaging in soft kiddie porn, the movie means to condemn it. Okay. I am sure claiming good intentions will really chasten the pedophiles and perverts watching 11-year-old girls getting their pants pulled down, twerking on their hands and knees in their underwear, and other pre-pubescent sex simulations.All of the statistics about child sexualization are horrifying....

Unusually, the conservative Ben Shapiro and the Left-wing Russell Brand are in the doghouse for exactly the same offence. Both men have been critical of a new music video by the American rappers Cardi B and Megan Three Stallion titled ‘WAP’, a track that takes an already sexualised art form and ramps it to 11, so much so that it has been the subject of fevered worldwide media coverage since its release ten days ago. An incredulous Shapiro read out the lyrics during last week’s episode of his Daily Wire show...condemning the track as “vulgar” and insisting that it is...

'After adjustment for demographic and socioeconomic factors, the group most likely to attend selective colleges were students in male breadwinner-female homemaker families.'Teens whose mothers worked part-time or not outside the home were significantly more likely to be admitted to and attend a highly selective college or university than teens whose mothers worked full time, finds a study out today from the Institute for Family Studies. The study controlled for external factors including family income, parental education, the child’s sex, race, and family composition.“Students are more likely to be accepted by and attend highly competitive colleges when their mothers are at...

Conservative pundit Tomi Lahren has several issues with men and claims it’s something that all of her friends experience. Departing from her normal political shtick, which she airs on Fox Nation’s First Thoughts, Lahren took the video route to shout out her problems with men in a rant. Calling herself a “woman of value” and applying that tag to her friends, Lahren tongue-lashed the games men play and the fact that they’re not appreciative of women like her. “It will be a cold day in hell before I chase a man,” said Lahren, who moved from Los Angeles to Nashville...

If you are concerned about the possibility of angry Democrats seeking vengeance upon Trump supporters if they return to power in the White House, the words of MSNBC contributor Jason Johnson are not exactly reassuring. In fact he almost guarantees political purges by Kamala Harris who he claims will look into every facet of government to see out anybody who supported Trump and purge them from office. Johnson even went so far as to claim that judges appointed by Trump would be impeached. After a brief setup on Morning Joe by Mika Brzezinski on Wednesday's Morning Joe about Kamala Harris...

Left-wing feminist groups such as Planned Parenthood, NARAL, Times Up, and Emily’s List have sent urgent notices to media outlets, warning them that Joe Biden’s female running mate is likely to be subjected to “sexist” and “racist” attacks. “A woman VP candidate, possibly a Black or Brown woman candidate, requires the same kind of internal consideration about systemic inequality as you undertook earlier this year,” the abortion rights supporters wrote to media heads, as NBC News reported. The coalition leaders include Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, NARAL President Ilyse Hogue, Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson, Former Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile...

To understand just how normalized radical ideas are on college campuses, look at the curriculum for which students pay thousands and thousands of dollars. From their first steps on campus for orientation to walking across the stage on graduation day, students are usually bombarded with leftist propaganda. College campuses facilitate the perfect environment for indoctrination, providing a platform for radical professors to teach their opinion as fact. As a young woman in college, I know firsthand how difficult it can be to stand behind conservative values in the face of leftist campus culture.Conservative parents are in a catch-22. While still...

Under the NCAA’s current rules, I’m concerned that we will soon effectively have men’s sports and co-ed sports — without any dedicated category for females,' said Madison Kenyon, a college athlete who's lost to transgender athletes. More than 300 high-profile female athletes signed a letter released Wednesday asking the National College Athletic Association Board of Governors to preserve a “fair and level playing field” for women’s sports.“True athletic parity for women demands that women’s sports be protected for biological females,” the letter said. “Protecting the integrity of women’s sports has, for decades, played an integral role in remedying past discrimination...

Conservative women are untouchable, according to the very media that condemn them.  On July 23, a Vanity Fair headline asked, “Is Hollywood Too Soft on Conservative Women?” TV critic Sonia Saraiya answered with a resounding “yes” as she explored Phyllis Schlafly in "Mrs. America," Megyn Kelly in "Bombshell," and Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady." Conservative women also bypass the media’s scrutiny, she insisted. Except, of course, by Saraiya herself, who suggested that they belonged to a group of “white nationalist racist gender traitors.”Saraiya’s first mistake came when she assumed that “conservative” women, who adhere to a political ideology, are...

Leadership from strong men is slavery, newscast interviews with lawyers, academics, and mental health professionals tell us. "Toxic" is the new word for alpha. Masculinity, as with other pathological conditions, must be treated early – as early as possible. Treatment is unleashed in camp, school and recreation time in the neighborhood or at home. When the condition has been left untreated, teachers, medical doctors and psychologists must navigate a late diagnosis and implement treatment. Stat. Carl Jung said that if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. The hammer now at hand is made of ideological...

Far too many men are facing far too much injustice in Western Societies. Rabid man hating feminism is out of control. How can nations which embrace a culture of emasculation face up to the likes of totalitarian China?

The Royal Navy is to replace 'seaman' in rank titles and ban the use of 'unmanned' and 'manpower' in a bid to fight fears of sexism. First Sea Lord Tony Radakin has called for the changes to be rolled out to avoid female recruits feeling excluded. Sources said there was an acceptance within the force that some terms are no longer appropriate and considered problematic and that leaders wanted to get rid of gendered terms where possible.

Some might find it odd that so many seemingly middle-class, young, white women are taking up street theater with a vengeance. We’ve seen the woke white woman spitting harangues into the faces of police officers, including black officers, trying to lecture and shame them into obedience. Two women are screaming at the cops outside the White House. pic.twitter.com/V9wTsoFDzf— Julio Rosas (@Julio_Rosas11) June 23, 2020 We saw many of them acting up in the “autonomous zone” of CHAZ or CHOP in Seattle, condescendingly guarding a “blacks only” area. We’ve also seen these women physically attacking those they deem the enemy,...

Feminist academic Raquel Rosario Sanchez doesn’t shy away from writing about ugly stuff. She deals with prostitution, coercion and intimidation. When she started her PhD on women and violence at Bristol University just over two years ago, Raquel felt lucky to be exploring these complex issues in a supportive and (she says, pointedly) ‘grown-up’ academic environment. She certainly didn’t imagine she’d end up being threatened with violence herself — nor that the university she so respected would, she claims, utterly fail to protect her.

Washington Post global opinions editor Karen Attiah called America “a racist *and* patriarchal society” in response to the threats she says she got over a deleted tweet that reportedly declared, “White women are lucky that we are just calling them ‘Karen’s.' And not calling for revenge.” In a tweet over backlash she wrote: “America is a racist *and* patriarchal society. We cannot dismantle the full range of oppression in this society without addressing how toxic ideas of white masculinity interplay with the notion of ‘protecting’ their women from Black people.

Today's protesters protest bygone times when slavery was legal and was considered, by many otherwise normal people, socially desirable and morally acceptable. They also protest the times of racism and racial discrimination that came after slavery was abolished in the U.S. Those times are gone. America, in order to make up for the past suffering of slaves, has bestowed on blacks many privileges and entitlements that are not available to all other Americans, affirmative action and protection from so-called disparate impact being examples. American whites have become — as a racial group — the most aracial people on Earth. In...

ROSARIO, Argentina – Three Spanish-born cardinals on Wednesday offered up their “red hats and cardinal rings” to any woman who wants to be a member of the Catholic Church’s most exclusive club. Yet, there’s a catch: they argue that there’s a need to rediscover the priesthood as Jesus perceived it, saying “it’s about service, not power.” “Women, like men, have to rediscover baptism and the dignity of being children of God that the baptism gives us,” said Cardinal Cristobal Lopez, archbishop of Rabat. “Our joy is not in being bishops or cardinals, ordained or not. Our joy must come from...
