Under the proposals, teachers would be legally required to refer pupils they suspect of extreme misogyny to Prevent, the UK government’s counter-terror programme. Cooper told the Telegraph: “For too long, governments have failed to address the rise in extremism, both online and on our streets,...

Kamala Harris Campaign Compliance Manager Joyce DeCerce - who is a Compliance Manager for the DNC - could be seen lamenting how Harris is 'weirdly unpopular', while seemingly admitting to making empty promises to donors.

VIDEOUntil now the uncontested holder of the the Miss Clueless Crown was the South Carolina contestant for the 2007 Miss Teen USA. However, it now looks like she will lose her crown to a new mighty contender not only for her inability to answer the question about how to define "misogyny" but her UNBELIEVABLE snowflake reaction to being unable to do so. Ironically, just by viewing both clueless women is enough to turn one into a... misogynist.

Ireland’s rate of deadly violence against women could fall dramatically through sensible migration policy and other basic programs.A 2022 report by RealClearPolitics confirmed what many Europeans had long suspected but could not prove because of data obfuscation by individual governments: Europe has a massive immigrant violent crime problem. The 10-year data study showed that across the EU, “each one percentage point increase in immigrant population is associated with a 3.6 percent increase in the homicide rate.” In Germany, where police and politicians fiercely guard immigrant crime statistics, an academic study found that asylum applicants were responsible for a massive 10.4...

Political activist and failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams (D-GA) said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that she believed the criticisms leveled at Vice President Kamala Harris were based on “misogyny and racism.” Anchor Jen Psaki said, “I want to ask you about the vice president, because she has been under a huge amount of scrutiny through her entire time in office. I think there’s a lot of reasons for this. But I want to ask you, as a prominent woman of color who’s run for office, do you think that she would be receiving the same critiques if she was a...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is an alarming candidate for many reasons, but one has gone strangely undiscussed: His treatment of women. Since gaining traction in the polls - he's consistently at 20 per cent against President Biden - RFK Jr. has given no shortage of interviews. Time magazine, The Atlantic, ABC News (which edited out his factually incorrect COVID vaccine claims), the New York Post, CNN, Tucker Carlson, Bill Maher, Joe Rogan and Elon Musk - all have interviewed Kennedy at length. Yet no one asks. A recent Daily Beast column on the 69-year-old Kennedy's ripped physique explored with great...

...Is distinguishing Polanski spitting in the face of all victims”? What about watching his films – does that mean tacitly endorsing that “raping women isn’t that bad”? If the film is about antisemitism, how does that affect the morality balance sheet? Of course, really all these questions amount to just one, well-worn dilemma: can we separate the art from the artist?...Woody Allen (and) his relationship with Soon Yi-Previn, adopted daughter of Allen’s ex-wife Mia Farrow, made her feel “affronted, personally somehow” since she had, as a girl, identified with Allen due to his performative fragility and neuroticism. (Allen has repeatedly...

And that brings us to Budweiser, Nike, and Mulvaney. In a sense, this scenario reveals the real wickedness of the trans movement. Yes, it is certainly ruining many individual lives. Each one is an entirely avoidable tragedy. But it is also deeply misogynistic in that its assault on the sexual asymmetry of men and women is an assault on every woman.

Controversial transgender swimmer Lia Thomas slammed her “feminist” adversaries as misogynistic transphobes who reduce women to the value of their reproductive abilities. The NCAA gold medalist told fellow trans swimmer Schuyler Bailar that her own University of Pennsylvania teammates displayed fraud feministic beliefs when they wrote a 2022 letter asking the division to bar Thomas from competition. “They’re like, ‘Oh, we respect Lia, as a woman, as a trans woman or whatever, we respect her identity, we just don’t think it’s fair.’ You can’t really have that sort of half-support where you’re like, ‘Oh, I respect her as a woman...

Embattled CNN host Don Lemon landed in hot water earlier this year for making a disparaging comment about women, but it wasn't the first time he's acted out in the workplace, according to a new report. A bombshell report in Variety Wednesday made scandalous allegations about the anchor’s past, such as sending threatening text messages to a colleague and repeatedly exhibiting misogynistic and "diva-like" behavior, but CNN has downplayed the claims as "patently false anecdotes." In 2008, Lemon co-anchored weekend CNN show "Live From" alongside Kyra Phillips, where he had what Variety called "concerning" antipathy with his female colleague. "For...

One of the sources said Harlow took a “well-timed” bathroom break and was followed into the restroom by co-host Kaitlan Collins — who recently had her own run-in with Lemon....

Multiple choice for readers. Is Don Lemon:Intellectually challenged. A misogynist. A supine shill for Joe Biden. All of the above?The question arises after Lemon's pitiful performance on Thursday's CNN This Morning. Responding to Nikki Haley's call on Wednesday for candidates over 75 [looking at you, Biden and Trump!] to be tested for mental competency, Lemon made a pathetic attempt to turn the tables on Haley, saying: "She says people, you know, politicians or something are not in their prime. Nikki Haley isn't in her prime—sorry. A woman is considered being in her prime in her 20s and 30s and maybe...
