Since 2016, young American women have become significantly more liberal due to emotional responses to gender-related events that are largely superficial and detrimental. Last week, The New York Times featured an article titled: “How the Last Eight Years Made Young Women More Liberal.” According to every poll, since 2016, there has been an unprecedented political/social gender gap between young American women and men. Here is how the Times reported it: “In 2001, young men and women had similar political ideologies. … Then, around 2016, something shifted, a new analysis shows. Women ages 18 to 29 became significantly more liberal than...

Selena Gomez "can't carry" children due to medical reasons. The Wizards of Waverly Place actress, 32, recently said she was planning to adopt a baby before she met her music producer boyfriend Benny Blanco, 36, who she has been dating since 2023. She has now revealed she has had to "grieve" her inability to naturally become a mother. She told Vanity Fair: "I haven't ever said this, but I unfortunately can't carry my own children. "I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby's in jeopardy. That was something I had to grieve for...

The number of liberal young women has skyrocketed over the past two decades and their views on key issues have swayed further to the left, according to an analysis of more than 20 years of polling data. An average of 40% of women 18 to 29 years old identified themselves as liberal over the past seven years — up from 32% in the prior eight years (the President Obama era) and 28% in the eight years before that (the President Bush era), according to a Gallup study. The demographic has always had the largest number of liberals throughout the analysis,...

The Taliban is repressing women and young girls in Afghanistan with unparalleled restrictions and will jeopardize the country’s future, a shocked U.N. rights chief warned Monday. Volker Türk said new Islamic morality laws that ban women’s voices and bare faces in public, along with oppressive restrictions on education and most jobs, were outrageous and amounted to systematic gender persecution. “I shudder to think what is next for the women and girls of Afghanistan,” Türk told the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva.

‘In many ways, my life is what I always dreamed it would be, except for one glaring difference: I am not a mother. I wish I was.’A math Ph.D. in The Wall Street Journal agonizingly sketched out every high-IQ woman’s life dilemma last weekend: Do you sacrifice motherhood to chase a world-class career? She did, and it broke her heart.“In many ways, my life is what I always dreamed it would be, except for one glaring difference: I am not a mother. I wish I was. My childlessness is something I grieve every day,” Eugenia Cheng writes.Cheng presents herself as...

A great many women in America are embarrassingly foolish.There. I said it. Let’s get the feathers good and ruffled right out of the gate.Here’s a really dumb idea: Let’s elect a totally unqualified woman as president simply because she’s a woman. Yay!The fact that Kamala Harris is a woman is irrelevant. It makes her neither more or less worthy of votes. As a woman, I could not possibly care any less. I can’t think of a more empty-headed reason to vote for any woman than because she’s a woman.It hardly speaks well of women to know they will eagerly elevate...

Single-mother families make up one in five American families with children under 18. I grew up in one of them. Solo parenting is no easy feat. Even though my Philadelphia childhood was filled with happy memories, we went through hardship, too. I remember how stressed my mom would get about making ends meet. In high school, while I spent hours on homework, she was in court fighting not to lose our house. Too many single moms like mine face unnecessary economic insecurity that jeopardizes the wellbeing of their families. While some argue marriage is the best solution, what really uplifts...

As of last summer, women in Helsinki can now enjoy the beach without wearing bikini tops if they choose. Remarkably, the city implemented this change without making an official announcement, allowing residents to discover the update on their own. City officials explained that this approach was chosen because there had been no significant complaints regarding toplessness on the beach. Nevertheless, there appears to be an unspoken aspect to this policy change, as the authorities have remained notably silent about their progressive move. In Finland, public acts that cause distress to others may be considered ‘sexual immorality,’ though what precisely qualifies...

A woman who changed her style to wear 1950s style vintage clothing has revealed men now 'treat her differently' since transforming her wardrobe. Brooke Stretton, 24, from South Yorkshire, became fascinated fashion from the 1940s, '50s, and '60s after watching the classic film Grease.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that American women do not trust former President Donald Trump not to sign a national abortion ban if he is elected in November. Partial transcript as follows: KRISTEN WELKER: I want to start off by getting your reaction to what you just heard from Senator J.D. Vance. He says that if legislation banning abortion at the federal level arrived on Donald Trump’s desk, if he were to be elected, he believes he would veto it. What’s your reaction to that, Senator? WARREN: American women are not stupid, and we...

KABUL (Reuters) - Afghanistan's Taliban formally codified a long set of rules governing morality this week, ranging from requiring women to cover their faces and men to grow beards to banning car drivers from playing music, the Justice Ministry said. The rules, promoted as in line with Islamic sharia law and to be enforced by the morality ministry, were based on a decree by the Taliban's supreme spiritual leader in 2022 and were now officially published as law, a Justice Ministry spokesman said.

Our national security is currently predicated on a fantasy; the pipe dream of gender equality, the fantasy of the female warrior meeting our enemies on the field of battle and defeating them in combat. It is a Potemkin Village that will implode like a house of cards the moment the first shot is fired in anger. The lunatic idea of female warriors is promulgated by Hollywood. For 25 years, we have been force fed endless TV series with the female cop who looks like a model, and with a gun and badge the size of her waist. In a dark...

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are effectively dead even where it counts — the battleground states, according to a new poll. Mirroring the polling group’s findings from a separate survey released earlier this month, both presidential contenders scored 50% apiece in the battleground states, per a CBS News/YouGov survey released Sunday. Harris, 59, came away with the lead in a national head-to-head matchup between the pair 51% to 48%, which marks an uptick from her prior 50% to 49% edge over him in the prior survey. Strikingly, 36% of voters felt that they don’t know what...

Four questions asked by young women and the terrible answers they got. My parents resent the guy I have been dating for 4 years. My boyfriend is 5 years older than I and I am now 21. My parents are judging him because his parents divorced. That is not his fault. The old fashioned way I was raised makes me feel guilt whenever I have a bit of fun. I am not a slut; how do I stop feeling like one? I love my boyfriend very deeply. I am 17 and a virgin. I am not sure about how far...

Millions of women and girls across the country can breathe a sigh of relief as the Biden regime was blocked from implementing its radical changes to Title IX in several states. ... in April that the Regime proudly announced that women would be forced to allow men in their locker rooms and bathrooms with a 1577-page Title IX ruling. Moreover, they would be forced to accept men on their sports teams. ... the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday smacked down a request from the Regime to implement the rule in 10 states after being blocked from doing so by lower...

CNN — The Supreme Court on Friday turned down a request from the Biden administration to enforce parts of a new federal rule meant to protect LGBTQ+ and pregnant students from discrimination in 10 states where the rule was put on hold by federal judges. The court announced its decision in an unsigned order that drew a partial dissent from the court’s three liberals and conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch. The Supreme Court’s order is the latest blow to the Biden administration on the issue, which has suffered a series of setbacks with federal courts blocking a rule that was intended...

Allowing women to vote was the great mistake, Prove me wrong.

A female Secret Service agent on duty to protect former President Donald Trump at a North Carolina rally Wednesday left her post to breastfeed without permission, RealClearPolitics reported. Soon before Trump's arrival in Asheville, North Carolina, the Secret Service site agent conducted a final sweep of the walking route "and found the agent breast-feeding her child in a room that is supposed to be set aside for important Secret Service official work, i.e. a potential emergency related to the president," the outlet's Susan Crabtree posted Thursday on X. The woman agent, out of the Atlanta Field Office, and two family...

I originally wrote this back in November of 2017. Little did I realize then that it would become true, just not for 2020. Thought many would find it interesting. Seems like a day doesn't go by without another woman accusing some guy of sexually harassing her. Most of the accusations are from incidents that took place so long ago that there is no way to prove or disprove the accusation. The stories are about men from all walks of life, and both sides of the political spectrum. From Hollywood to Congress, women are telling stories about how men they...
