How faith, virtues and marriage are declining among blue collar Americans
1 Feb 2012 12:00 am Wintery Knight

Brad Wilcox writes about a new book entitled “Coming Apart” in the Wall Street Journal.
Excerpt:
So much for the idea that the white working class remains the guardian of core American values like religious faith, hard work and marriage. Today the denizens of upscale communities like McLean, Va., New Canaan, Conn., and Palo Alto, Calif., according to Charles Murray in “Coming Apart,” are now much more likely than their fellow citizens to embrace these core American values. In studying, as his subtitle has it, “the state of white America, 1960-2010,” Mr. Murray …

Old Sexual Harassment Accusations are Seedy Way to Sink Political Candidates
17 Nov 2011 1:50 pm Rachel Alexander

The media feeding frenzy over allegations of sexual harassment by Herman Cain is going to cause a shift in how we view sexual harassment. According to a University of Michigan research study last year, 90 percent of women report being sexually harassed in the workplace. This number sounds absurd. If acted upon, it would turn workplaces into Gulag camps. At some point when are women just being overly sensitive or incorrectly construing annoying behavior as sexual harassment? What percentage of sexual harassment complaints are filed merely in order to get back at …

Decade Of War
7 Sep 2011 10:31 am Courtney Messerschmidt

The last ten years has seen a semi unbound Great Satan – using her fire power, brain power, will power and staying power all across the globe in war.
Wars occur at unpredictable times, take unpredictable courses and have unexpected consequences.

Some wars are carefully planned, but even those wars rarely take place as expected. Think of the Germans in World War I, having planned the invasion of France for decades and with meticulous care. Nothing went as planned for either side, and the war did not take a course …

Democrazy World!
30 Aug 2011 9:28 am Courtney Messerschmidt

Euphoric!
The delightfully delightful tingly feeling of being absolutely correct on nigh ev matter of un and import.
Despite dissing dismissals as arrogant hubris (who what?) by the sad collective of unfun unexceptionals that for decency’s sake shall remain linkless (many of which most certainly would fail to recog a good time even if it sat on their face), ppl are catching on to the concept of democrazy world.
The truth is that a world without dictators may not be such a lark. Yes, it has never been harder than it is today …

Palin And Bachmann, Not Steinem, ARE Feminism
17 Aug 2011 4:38 am John Hawkins

The fire has long since gone out in the belly of the liberal feminist movement in this country. Now it’s just another group of bitter, harpy careerists railing against men, pushing abortion, and encouraging young girls to act like sluts. If every liberal feminist icon in the country disappeared tomorrow, it would probably be generally beneficial to women because any good they’ve done was so long ago. Still, a few of them, like Gloria Steinem want to relive their glory days and they’re trying to be relevant again by disparaging …

Exposing Small Children To A Group Called “Gender Spectrum” Should Be Considered Child Abuse
27 Jul 2011 5:47 am John Hawkins

No adult involved in trying to foist this propaganda on school children should be allowed anywhere near a child.
A one-hour elementary school lesson on gender diversity featuring all-girl geckos and transgender clownfish caused a stir in Oakland on Monday, with conservative legal defense organizations questioning the legitimacy of the topic and providing legal counsel to parents who opposed the instruction.
So, fourth- and fifth-grade students learned about the crazy world of gender within the animal kingdom with lessons about single-sex Hawaiian geckos, fish that switch genders and boy snakes that act …

Attacks Against Bachmann Are Sexist And May Violate Several Laws
20 Jul 2011 8:35 am William Teach

The Boston Herald notices the sexism inherent in the treatment of Bachman and Palin
GOP mega-stars U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin — both top Republicans who buck the status quo — have been unfairly mocked and broadsided with loaded, gender-biased questions, prominent women from both parties told the Herald yesterday.
“You have two women who’ve captured the attention of the general public and were climbing in the polls, and they face a higher bar,” said Shannon O’Brien, a Democrat whose campaign was painted as “unbecoming” by Mitt Romney when she …

The New Battleground of Child Custody Reform: Shared Parenting
19 Jul 2011 2:05 pm Rachel Alexander

Child custody and support laws have become more onerous over the last 50 years due to fewer parents staying together and women becoming equally as capable as men at earning a living outside the home. Instead of reflecting these changes, the laws have lagged behind, continuing to favor mothers over fathers. The laws generally award primary custody to the parent who spent more time at home with the children and less time working, even if the difference was miniscule. The other parent is then ordered to pay a crushing amount …

What Liberal Feminism Has Come To: Fighting Over Which Gender Has A Vagina
19 Jul 2011 12:14 am John Hawkins

Prominent left-wing feminist, Jessica Valenti discusses vagina issues with one of her crackpot readers.

It’s like two weird aliens — who are studying up on human beings after missing almost the whole semester at school — are getting together to cram before their final exam, which both of them are destined to flunk.

Black Veil Brides
20 Jun 2011 12:15 am Courtney Messerschmidt

Ihkwan – rhymes with ‘stick one.’ Just saying.
Regardless of any chances that a trip on the Way Back Machine will – or will not -create an Aegyptian redux of Ottoman like Imperial m”Hammedism, there is a very serious – secular – concern about the Ihkwan – the you know what Brotherhood.
Especially in Egypt.
And it should be addressed repeatedly until it’s common knowledge in diplopolititary discourse au courant.
One of the charming things about Ihkwan in Pyramidland is all the jazz about all the ‘hospitals’ and ‘clinics’ they fund …

Boob Theory
14 Jun 2011 2:05 pm Courtney Messerschmidt

“Ve are liffing in Amerika – Coca Cola – Voonderbra”
Last years “Boob Quake” – psychically predicted by the highest levels of gay free Persia’s Preacher Command – Hojatoleslam Kazim Sadeghi (Ho what?!) claimed hoochies, hotties and hoes “don’t dress appropriately” and spread the hot sticky lust “when promiscuity spreads, earthquakes increase.”
Oh snap! Say it ain’t so!
Only, it WAS so!
“The pro-scantily-clad lobby of womanity declared today Boobquake, a day to flout and disprove the cleric by baring your boobs.
“And then a 6.9-magnitude earthquake occurred in Taiwan!”
Sweet! Let’s start worshipping …

Weiner did a bad thing and being pro-abortion doesn’t give him a pass
9 Jun 2011 2:29 pm Bookworm

A few months ago a movie came out based on a premise that was, for me, an entirely new concept: a Hall Pass or, license from ones spouse to have sex, once, outside of marriage. (I understand that the movie, which I didn’t see, ultimately made the point that having an affair isn’t as easy or attractive as it seems.)
I thought of that movie when I read Amanda Marcotte’s outraged article about coverage of the wanking Weiner. Unlike Kirsten Powers, who was mad at Weiner for lying …

Men’s auto-emasculation — or, is feminism really entirely to blame?
8 May 2011 2:27 am Bookworm

Several people, knowing my fondness for the Navy (think Navy League), sent me links to a Wall Street Journal article that Lt. Cmdr. Greitens, a Navy SEAL, wrote about what goes into making a Navy SEAL. Of course, it’s not just the training; it’s the man behind the training. No man who is afraid of ultimate responsibility, extreme hard work, painfully uncomfortable physical conditions, and pushing his own limits to their furthest boundaries will even think of becoming a SEAL. When one considers the demands of being …

Emily’s List Targets Rep. Steve King with Blatant Smear
29 Apr 2011 7:32 pm Duane Lester

Emily’s List author, Lisa McIntyre, wants her readers to think Rep. Steve King is a sexist. So much she is willing to lie about it.
The progressive pro-abortion, feminist organization posted an article today slamming Rep. Steve King as a sexist, claiming he would not debate possible Congressional candidate Christine Vilsack because she was a woman.
They continued the lie by claiming King said he would be willing to debate her husband because he was a man.
It’s simply not true. The author is reaching so far to paint King as …

The Feminist Left’s Dramatic Reaction to Wonkette’s Mockery of Trig Palin
23 Apr 2011 2:09 am Jenn Q. Public

Did I say “dramatic”? I meant “nonexistent”:

National Organization for Women: chirp chirp chirp
Ms. Magazine: chirp chirp chirp
Feministing: chirp chirp chip
Feministe: chirp chirp chirp
Pandagon: chirp chirp chirp
Shakesville: chirp chirp chirp
Jezebel: chirp chirp chirp
The Frisky: chirp chirp chirp
Bitch Magazine: chirp chirp chirp

Seems like a lot of crickets have taken up residence in the feminist blogosphere.
As Kurt Schlichter notes at Big Journalism, a handful of liberal media figures joined conservatives in condemning Jack Stuef, the revolting Wonkette blogger who tried to pass off his cruel ridicule of three-year-old Trig …

Yeah, I’m not thrilled about that J. Crew advertisement either
13 Apr 2011 5:52 pm Bookworm

The big “conservatives are evil” exhibit of the moment is conservative protests over at Fox about a J. Crew advertisement in which a mom happily paints her five year old son’s toenails pink. I think it’s worth adding here that the boy clearly hasn’t had a haircut in a while. In other words, if the ad didn’t identify him as a boy, he would be sexless — neither boy nor girl, just sexually content neutral.
The ad itself is pretty darn innocuous, but it is symptomatic of something much …

Liberal Feminists Are Apparently Very Confused About Gender
12 Apr 2011 6:08 am John Hawkins

Gender IS NOT a social construct. Let me repeat that, because it’s important. Gender IS NOT a social construct. In fact, believing that gender is just a social construct is an exceptionally stupid belief that ironically, is often held by very smart people.
It’s surprisingly similar in many ways to the error that Leftists make with communism. The thinking there goes that mankind’s behavior can be changed by conditioning. That’s true. Unfortunately, Leftists came to believe that with enough conditioning, we could completely rewrite the way human beings behaved. That’s not …

“Dear Woman” Scheme to Get Laid With Feminists May Actually Be Working

Are we looking at a possible love connection for the (purported) men of “Dear Woman” fame?
Earlier this week Lori Ziganto went full-on mean girl on the “sniveling, pathetic whiners” who recorded a video apology to all women for thousands of years of imbalances in masculine and feminine energies. If you haven’t been fortunate enough to see them disembowel their dignity, you can watch it here.
After viewing their emasculation-fest, I asked, …

If You Emasculate Yourself To Impress Women They’re Going To Hate You Anyway
7 Apr 2011 3:57 am John Hawkins

It was an atrocity. A trainwreck. An avalanche of fail sailing down loser mountain and headed right for pitiful gulch. It was a video called Dear Woman.

I have tried watching it four times and the furthest I managed to get was 2:15 seconds before my complete revulsion at the nauseating, whimpering, castrated half-”men” on display in the video prostrating themselves before the entire female species and begging for their forgiveness was simply too appalling as a man (no quotation marks) to watch.
In other words, my reaction to the video was …

There’s a Simple Reason Why Our Society Still Values Female Sex Symbols More Than Female Leaders
1 Apr 2011 4:19 am John Hawkins

Over at NationalJounal, Kathy Kiely is bemoaning the fact that our society still puts a higher premium on beautiful women than women leaders.
Sex and Power: Our society still values female sex symbols more than female leaders. The pace of change is too slow.
Like bookends on an era, the passing of two well-known American women last week underscored how much times have changed – and how much they have not.
The first to depart was Elizabeth Taylor, a woman of undoubted savvy and accomplishment who did a lot for others, especially those …
