– As the Women’s March continues to suffer defections over its leaders’ associations with Louis Farrakhan, the controversial preacher’s Nation of Islam has been hitting back, accusing “Jewish and white women” of trying to undermine the movement ahead of its planned march this weekend. In racially-charged columns, the Nation of Islam organ The Final Call has been slamming prominent critics who have raised concerns about anti-Semitism and called on the Women’s March leaders to resign. In doing so, the writers have accused “white women,” among other things, of supporting the oppression of blacks, and of historical complicity in rapes and...

The Women’s March, which was hailed as an international rebuke of President Trump in 2017 when throngs of activists took the streets the day after his inauguration, is steadily losing supporters amid an anti-Semitism scandal that won't go away. The march will be held in D.C. again on Saturday at the National Mall, but the controversial ties of organizers have caused the campaign to lose steam. Groups ranging from EMILY’s List to The National Council of Jewish Women as well as high-profile Democratic politicians are keeping their distance, even as other prominent organizations stand by the movement -- and newly announced 2020 candidate...

Three days before the 2019 Women’s March, organizers announced they had moved to a smaller venue as the third annual march confronts bad weather, a government shutdown and a dramatic drop of support on the left. The Women’s March said Wednesday it had changed its starting point to Freedom Plaza at the corner of 14th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue — instead of the National Mall — with plans to march “past the Trump Hotel.” The Women’s March said it had been required to relocate by the National Park Service due to snow and accused the agency of pressuring the group...

In recent days, many online essays have rightly ripped apart Gillette's ugly new "We Believe" advertisement.  One online critic dubbed it "feel-bad liberalism." Carpentered by Grey Advertising for Proctor and Gamble's razors company, it does not detail product attributes, encourage brand loyalty, instill warm feelings in buyers, or even show basic respect for consumers.  Instead, the grimly lecturing spot declares masculinity itself toxic, a peril to decent society. "Is this the best a man can get?  Is it?" asks the painfully serious narrator, as a wrongdoing slideshow passes by.  "We can't hide from it.  It's been going on far too...

New Gillette ad 'We Believe: The Best Men Can Be' has caused firestorm for tackling theme of 'toxic masculinity' It was directed by Kim Gehrig, an Australian-born and London-based ad director who has previously shot commercials for Uber, Gap and UK's John Lewis Her ad for feminine hygiene firm Libresse - known as Bodyform in the UK - featured singing female genitals Other work includes a short film suggesting Australian men turned to bodybuilding because of bullying Somesuch's previous work includes an unsparing look at periods with the hastag #BloodNormal She has tweeted anti-Trump messages and spoken of her pride...

The Democratic National Committee has dropped its partnership in the Women’s March over anti-Semitism concerns, according to a Democratic source. This development comes amid accusations of anti-Semitism within the movement’s leadership, causing many organizations to drop their support of the this year’s march, scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 19. There have been calls for firms to back out.

Women’s March national co-chair Tamika D. Mallory’s attempt to tamp down anti-Semitism concerns prior to next weekend’s march may have backfired. Ms. Mallory refused to condemn Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan in an appearance Monday on ABC’s “The View” under tough questioning from co-host Meghan McCain, who asked about Mr. Farrakhan’s past comments on “wicked Jews, “false Jews,” and homosexuality. “We did not make those remarks,” said Ms. Mallory. “What I will say to you is that I don’t agree with many of Minister Farrakhan’s statements.” Asked about his remarks about Jewish people, Ms. Mallory repeated, “As I said,...

KAILUA-KONA — Their boots are made for walking. And that’s just what they’ll do Saturday, Jan. 19, at the third annual Kona Women’s March. Set for 2 p.m. at the Lanihau Shopping Center, the march will flow up Henry Street, circle down Palani Road, hang a left at Kuakini Highway and finish with a climb back up Henry Street and into the center’s parking lot.The entirety of the route is equipped with sidewalks and was chosen in the name of both being safe and being seen, explained Yvette Kay, an organizer of the event. This year’s theme is “Women’s Wave,”...

Actress and liberal activist Alyssa Milano, whose credits include Who’s the Boss?, Melrose Place, Charmed, My Name is Earl, Mistresses, and Insatiable, and who in 2017 re-launched #MeToo movement, announced last week that she won’t be taking part in the next Women’s March because anti-Zionist, Islamist activist Linda Sarsour is, The Advocate reported. Milano became aware of Sarsour’s caustic influence on liberal women’s politics when she was a panelist at a political event in Los Angeles last month and was challenged by rightwing reporter Laura Loomer: “You are friends with Linda Sarsour, and both of you ladies have positioned yourselves...

Voters heading to the polls tomorrow must ask themselves this: Do you want your husbands, brothers or sons being wrongfully accused of sexual harassment, or worse, subjected to criminal assault charges based on bogus allegations? If so, vote Democrat. Liberal lawmakers like U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren and her political kin demonstrated loud and clear during the Kangaroo Kavanaugh hearings they don’t give a hoot about due process, the presumption of innocence or even vetting sexual assault allegations. According to the radical left — waging a bona fide war on men — our brothers, sons and husbands are automatically guilty for...

Ten women from Vermont participated in the “Grab Them By The Ballot” shoot titled after President Trump’s infamous “grab them by the p----” comment that resurfaced during the 2016 presidential election. All of the women – who came in all sizes, races, and sexualities – posed with nothing but a ballot placed on their private parts in an homage to the #MeToo movement. “With the #Metoo and #Wetoo movements and recent confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh there is much at stake in the upcoming elections,” said the group in its mission statement. “We are here to show the country these recent...

As a member in good standing, I received the following request and duly filled out the survey. However, once that survey was completed, I was then asked to fill out yet another political survey! The second survey asked about my political affiliation (the first time the AJLI has asked this), how I felt about Donald Trump, where I got my news and then asked me which woman among three I would prefer to see challenge Donald Trump. The women were Kirsten Gillibrand, Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama! The assumption in all the questions was that AJLI members were anti-Trump. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________...

I yelled at my husband last night. Not pick-up-your-socks yell. Not how-could-you-ignore-that-red-light yell. This was real yelling. This was 30 minutes of from-the-gut yelling. Triggered by a small, thoughtless, dismissive, annoyed, patronizing comment. Really small. A micro-wave that triggered a hurricane. I blew. Hard and fast. And it terrified me. I’m still terrified by what I felt and what I said. I am almost 70 years old. I am a grandmother. Yet in that roiling moment, screaming at my husband as if he represented every clueless male on the planet (and I every angry woman of 2018), I announced that...

College educated white women favor Democrats by nearly 27 points in 69 midterm battleground House races, while white women without a college degree favor Republicans by 4 points in those races, according to a poll released Monday. According to the Washington Post/Schar poll of the battleground districts, college-educated white women prefer the Democratic candidate in their districts by an overwhelming 62 to 35 percent. In those same districts, white women without a college degree favor the GOP candidate 49 to 45 percent. That split is also present among all white voters. The difference is less start for college-educated white voters,...

I'll provide the first two. Y'all add the rest! :-) 1) Replace beer with 'ski in your vocab in public places. Eg: "ANOTHER ROUND OF 'SKIS FOR ME & MY PALS!!" 2) Counter-protest your local Womyn's March with a sign featuring a flattering photo of Sen. Susan Collins surrounded on both sides by deranged faces screaming things like, "VOTE DOWN KAV OR WE'RE COMING TO KILL YOU!" / "WE KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE F****ING B**CH!!" / "TRAITOR TO WOMANKIND!!" / etc. And at the bottom, in huge font --- "NEVERTHELESS, SHE PERSISTED" 3) ....

Women’s March leader Linda Sarsour on Friday launched a racial attack against Sen. Susan Collins, saying the Maine Republican was guilty of espousing “white supremacy” with her decision to support the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Ms. Sarsour, a prominent Palestinian-American activist, blasted Ms. Collins on Twitter as a “white woman” and the “mother & grandmother of white women in America who gave us a Donald Trump presidency.”

The folks behind the Women’s March did not respond well to Sen. Collins’ announcement that she would vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh this afternoon. Linda Sarsour, one of the founders of the group, tweeted this: Senator Susan Collins is the mother & grandmother of white women in America who gave us a Donald Trump presidency. The 53%. She is a disgrace & her legacy will be that she was a traitor to women and marginalized communities. History will not treat her kindly. #CancelKanavaugh 3:44 PM - Oct 5, 2018

The performance of women this week – from Senator Dianne Feinstein to Christine Blasey Ford to the howling mobs on Capitol Hill – made me seriously consider surgically altering my sex. They are demanding special treatment because of their sex and in the process placing all of us – male and female alike – at peril of witch hunts against men and then, in time, against all who will not bow to their rule. My Facebook friend Alex Bensky reminded me of the advantage to me of transgendering: Ah, then we'd be unable to criticize your politics, your social viewpoints,...
