Family Life has come under attack from feminism. It wasn't always thus. And it doesn't have to be that way. A key thing required to restore it is trust between men and women. In a word, from San Diego, "Appreciation"

A record 16 out of 100 Navy women are reassigned from ships to shore duty due to pregnancy, according to data obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group. That number is up 2 percent from 2015, representing hundreds more who have to cut their deployments short, taxing both their unit’s manpower, military budgets and combat readiness. Further, such increases cast a shadow over the lofty gender integration goals set by former President Barack Obama. Overall, women unexpectedly leave their stations on Navy ships as much as 50% more frequently to return to...

"................Can you imagine what sort of culture we would have here if men and women went to political war with one another? Could any society survive that? And yet, isn’t that exactly what Hillary Clinton is all about? How can anyone listen to her talk without concluding that her mission on this Earth is to firmly press the thumb of government on the scales in favor of women and girls. It’s practically all she talks about. A certain amount of that sort of thing, such as the amount you might get from Joe Biden, is understood by most people to...

A feminist magazine has declared that men who like breasts are sexist. In an article titled, “So You’re a ‘Breasts Man’? Here Are 3 Reasons That Could Be Sexist,” Jenika McCrayer explains why men who are sexually attracted to women with breasts are misogynists. McCrayer explains that “under a patriarchal system… we’re taught to believe that the female body exists solely for a man’s sexual pleasure and entertainment.” She then explains several reasons why liking breasts is a bad thing. First, “It Dangerously Conflates Attraction and Fetishization.” She explains, “breasts are not solely for aesthetic or sexual purposes. They have...

<p>Nothing quite communicates the wrath of a scorned lover like the middle finger. But in Bloomfield Hills, this middle finger is loud and proud - in the form of a near 12-foot high statue one man erected next door to his ex-wife.</p>

One of the more common refrains in the “Where have all of the good men gone!” lament is men’s increasing unwillingness to court women the way women expect to be courted. This is almost always framed as either a great mystery or a case of weak men screwing up feminism (or both).Examples of this concern abound, from Aunt Haley’s last three posts, to the divorced single mother who found out men weren’t willing to spend very much to court her, to the woman in Vox’s recent post lamenting that her 59 year old friend was only offered half a sandwich...

<p>The price tag for decades of gender warfare is usually expressed in general terms -- for example, through data-filled studies that reflect how "boys" are slighted in education. The ordeal of Michael Wright -- a student at Oklahoma University at Normal -- captures the human factor. And it leads me to a question: What does the devil look like?</p>

Feminism's slide since Sept. 11 On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, I was busy finishing a column about actress Anne Heche's briefly sensational claims to have recovered repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse and about the fact that such assertions were no longer accorded the nearly uncritical reception they were once given. Two or three minutes after turning on the television, I knew there would be no need to file the column. At the time, it seemed that no one would ever care about such topics again. A year later, we know that things have not changed as...

The Constitutionality of Child Support Guidelines Debate, Part II May 20, 2002 By Roger F. Gay On February 25, 2002, superior court judge C. Dane Perkins declared the Georgia State child support guidelines null and void because they "violate numerous provisions of the Constitution of both the United States and the State of Georgia". In a spontaneous retort, the chair of the ABA's child support committee, Laura Morgan, promised two articles in rebuttal. This is a response to her second article; The Constitutionality of Child Support Guidelines, Part II. References to previous articles are given below. In part, Laura...
