The Vatican has released a new working document for the Synod on Synodality, summarizing the results of national consultations and preparing for the “continental stage” of the continuing Synod process. In a 44-page document, entitled “Enlarge the space of your tent,” the document calls for “a Church capable of radical inclusion,” and stresses the need to reach out to those who feel alienated from, or marginalized by, the Church. In particular, the text calls for greater efforts to include women in decision-making roles, and to reach out to homosexuals, divorced and remarried couples, single parents, young people, and victims of...

Sweden's new right-wing government said Tuesday it was ditching the country's pioneering "feminist foreign policy", launched by the left-wing in 2014, saying the label could be counter-productive. (…) “But we’re not going to use the expression ‘feminist foreign policy’ because labels have a tendency to cover up the content”.

It’s an incredible time to be a woman. No, really, it is. The UK has its third female prime minister, all from the Conservative Party. As Liz Truss remarked to Theresa May: “It is quite extraordinary, isn’t it, that there doesn’t seem to be the ability in the Labour Party to find a female leader?” The past week brought the exciting news that Italy has elected its first female prime minister. Giorgia Meloni, who was raised by a single mother in a working-class district of Rome, has been the leader of the Brothers of Italy political party since 2014, and...

Adam Levine is almost 40 years old and he doesn’t need a babysitter. The tatted up, smoldering Jewish frontman of Maroon 5 opened up in an interview with Variety about his unyielding respect and value for women, his pop-music ideology, and his future. Levine, despite whatever you may have thought or heard about him, is ready to be your feminist crush. The singer explained that, as a husband and father of two, he is deeply committed to promoting feminism through the powerful platform fame offers him. He chose to center his hit song “Girls Like You” around this concept, inspired...

Marilyn Monroe and Hugh Hefner were born in the same year and buried in the same graveyard. But as Louise Perry points out in her book “The Case Against the Sexual Revolution,” they met completely different fates. Marilyn died a tortured sex symbol of the burgeoning sexual revolution, while Hefner lived large as the quintessential playboy, capitalizing on the same sexual liberalism. “The story of the sexual revolution isn’t only a story of women freed from the burdens of chastity and motherhood, although it is that,” Perry writes. “It is also a story of the triumph of the playboy —...

A PILOT has allegedly stolen a plane and is threatening to slam it into a Walmart, forcing police to evacuate the store, as well as nearby homes and a local Dodge dealership. Police in Tupelo, Mississippi, where the plane is flying overhead received a call from the man around 5am Saturday when he made the threats. The plane is believed to be a Beechcraft King Aire 90, and its erratic circular flight pattern was seen in online flight trackers.

When the Wing first opened its doors in Flatiron in 2016 as a pioneering, women-only coworking space, it became a phenomenon. Founders Audrey Gelman and Lauren Kassan raised more than $100 million from investors like WeWork and Airbnb. At its peak, it had 11 locations... But things took a sudden turn the following year. In June 2020, Gelman stepped down after employees protested her leadership and alleged mistreatment of black and brown staffers. It was the beginning of the end. Earlier this week, Wing members received an email announcing that the club’s six remaining locations would be closing due to...

There’s trouble in Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen paradise, multiple sources tell Page Six exclusively. The model has left their family compound in Tampa, Fla., for Costa Rica following a series of heated arguments over Brady’s shock decision to un-retire from the NFL, while he has remained behind for team training. “Tom and Gisele are in a fight right now,” a source tells Page Six, adding that this has happened before with the couple, but they have always reunited in the past.

When I was in college, I read a book by George Gilder, one of the wisest thinkers of the last half-century, titled “Naked Nomads,” which had a deep impact on me. It was about single men and all the pathologies associated with them. For example, Gilder drove home the point that the biggest factor concerning violent crime was that it is overwhelmingly committed by single men. While there was no danger — I would say no chance — that I would commit a violent crime (though I was, at the time, single), this fact along with others in the book...

Toxic masculinity has been under fire since third-wave feminism in the ‘90s, and for good reason – men have brought nothing but wickedness and dirty laundry into the world from the beginning. Want examples? Here are 9 horrible things brought to you by toxic masculinity: The wheel: It was just an excuse to frame women for running over curbs! Running water: Seems like a technological advance, but it's just another male ploy to keep women in the kitchen where they belong. Disgusting! Sports: NASCAR, WWE, MMA – the oppression runs so deep that even most women's sports are run by...

For all that is wrong with Australia, plenty of the people are still sane. Traditions work. Shae knows that and celebrates it with her North American love.

The Connecticut mom who strangled her three children before hanging herself left a suicide note for her husband that read, “Sorry, Pedro, I take my kids with me,” his cousin told The Post on Friday. Sonia Loja, 36, had long battled depression and had been crying for days over the shuttering of her illegal child-care business before Wednesday’s horrific murder-suicide in Danbury, said relative Digna Naulaguari, 47. Loja’s devastated husband, Pedro Panjon, saw no signs of the coming violence and only realized that something might be amiss when he got home from work that day — and none of the...

A shocking video shows San Francisco school children having to pick their way through a filthy, open-air drug den of homeless addicts after getting off a school bus at the end of the day. The video, posed by Ricci Wynne, shows the elementary school kids filing off the 14 transit line in the Golden Gate City at 8th Street and Mission by the Pacific Gas and Electric Company building past dozens of sickly users nodding out on the sidewalk. 'This is no back ally,' he says in the tweet. 'This is the main artery of the city that has been...

Abortion is front and center in American news these days. As Americans figure out what the recent Supreme Court ruling against Roe v. Wade means for abortion access for women in each state, we mourn for the hundreds of millions of women in China who the Chinese Communist Party forced to have abortions against their will and the girl babies in China who have been killed just for being female.The Chinese Communist Party’s draconian one-child policy, which lasted until 2016, had unexpected consequences. Since male offspring are more valued in China than female, women who found out they were having...

"Drag queens make everything better. Drag queens are fun," Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel gushed. "A drag queen for every school! That is what would be fine for a kid." "Drag storytellers, and the libraries and schools that support them, are advancing a love of diversity, personal expression, and literacy that is core to what our city embraces," New York City Mayor Eric Adams tweeted after a newspaper report that the city had spent over $200,000 on transgender strip shows and other drag acts in public venues, including schools and libraries. At 53 and 61, Dana Nessel and Eric Adams...

"If you are a white male who votes conservative, you need to ask God for the power to rise."

Yeah, that’s a rather blunt headline, right? It’s something that we’ve known for decades. It’s why this issue is intense, emotional, and loaded with nuance. With the Dobbs decision, the Supreme Court wiped out Roe v. Wade yesterday. It did not ban abortion nationwide. Abortion is not illegal. The Court did what it should have done with this issue eons ago—return it to the legislative process. There is nothing in the Constitution about abortion. There is no constitutional right to an abortion—that’s left-wing propaganda. The fact that the Constitution doesn’t say anything about isn’t a smackdown of the pro-abortion side....
