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.

Opinion Transgender Ideology Isn't About Dignity. It's Warmed Over Misogyny | Opinion Jenny Holland , author of the Saving Culture Substack newsletter On 5/10/23 at 3:45 PM EDT Current Time 0:10 Dylan Mulvaney Slams Backlash Over Her Transition—'I'm Not Some Monster' Share Twenty years ago, my father, Irish author Jack Holland, wrote a book called Misogyny: the World's Oldest Prejudice. It's a sweeping look at how hatred and fear of women has been a part of nearly every society in human history. The need to control women's sexuality, women's voices and women's power have been a feature of societies from...

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...

Don Lemon’s sexist rant about Nikki Haley on Thursday turned the stomachs of his co-anchors and added to pressure on CNN boss Chris Licht to dump the acid-tongued host, The Post has learned. A furious Poppy Harlow walked off the “CNN This Morning” set following a tense exchange with Lemon after he said the GOP presidential candidate was “not in her prime,” according to sources with knowledge of the situation. 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...

J.K. Rowling has in-shirt-ed herself into a new transgender controversy. The outspoken “Harry Potter” author posted a photo of herself Thursday wearing a T-shirt calling a UK politician behind a controversial gender-identity reform a “destroyer of women’s rights.” Rowling — who has faced death threats over previous comments accused of being transphobic — proudly wore the garment to “stand in solidarity” with protests before a hearing of the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill.

Former president says material ‘offends all women and the creator who made them’Former president Mary McAleese has called on Pope Francis to remove “awful material” from a Vatican website set up in 2016 which she said “offends all women and the creator who made them”. The document, which blames all human ills on women, including the death of Jesus Christ, appears on the website of the Dicastery (Department) for the Laity, the Family and Life. It appears in English, French and Italian, but not in Spanish or Portuguese translations. Written by Tertullian, one of the early church fathers who died...

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...

You know how bad Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony bombed the other day? It bombed so bad that the left is blaming misogynist men for the fallout!

The 88-year-old, in a recent interview, asked a New York Times reporter, seemingly insinuating that today's culture prefers more gender-neutral terms. “What’s wrong with mother? What’s wrong with woman? Girl? I don’t like having that word taken away.” SNIP “Sadly, I think that now young men are suffering from being labeled toxically masculine,” she explained, “because of this rise of anti-maleness.” The actress was also candid about allegedly being sexually assaulted by powerful Hollywood executives in the past — all things that “happened to girls all the time” in those days.

The British government has rejected calls to make misogyny a new hate crime, arguing that it would only make it harder to prosecute sexual offences and domestic abuse cases. The House of Lords inflicted a string of defeats on the government’s Police, Crime, Sentencing, and Courts Bill last month, passing a host of amendments including adding misogyny to existing hate crime laws.Home Secretary Priti Patel has written to MPs setting out why she is opposed to the amendments and urging them to back the government’s bill. The Home Office has cited the Law Commission, which advises ministers, as saying legislating...

Thanks to his impassioned late-night pleas about health care and gun control, CNN has called Jimmy Kimmel “America’s conscience.” Jimmy Kimmel? This is the man who, along with bro-tastic podcaster Adam Carolla, brought you the Juggies, women in skimpy bikinis who ended each episode of The Man Show by bouncing on trampolines.... A friend insists that Kimmel has transformed from a chauvinistic joker into an empathetic conversationalist. (The friend, in this case, is Howard Stern.) There’s a lot that New Howard has left behind. When his show moved to satellite radio in 2004, Old Howard was like a kid in...

The Taliban have effectively banned girls from secondary education in Afghanistan, by ordering high schools to re-open only for boys. Girls were not mentioned in Friday’s announcement, which means boys will be back at their desks next week after a one-month hiatus, while their sisters will still be stuck at home. The Taliban education ministry said secondary school classes for boys in grades seven to 12 would resume on Saturday, the start of the Afghan week. “All male teachers and students should attend their educational institutions,” the statement said. The future of girls and female teachers, stuck at home since...

why are so many women evolutionarily inclined to be liberal/socialist/communist/fascist? my observation is that many more women than men seem to fit these categories, which imho differ only in degree. my own conjecture: women have been evolved to submit to the force and power of authority. in prehistory, women, having generally less strength and less weight than men, have taken follower social status as the primary way in which both they and their offspring maximize their survival and reproduction chances. the us constitution upholds minimal government. minimal government is antithetical to maximum force and maximum power. thus, the us constitution...
