Campus Rape Facts: Who Yah Gonna Believe?
By: Mike McDaniel The statistics are unquestionable–at least to the social justice warriors inhabiting American colleges: something between 20 and 25 percent of women will be raped during their four (or more) years of college. Presumably, women sticking around for a master’s or doctorate degree face even more daunting [Read More]

To Say, ‘Stop Raping Me’ In English, Press ‘1’ Now
Ann Coulter’s column tells the disgraceful story of the double standard the Left and their pet media have for even the most horrendous crimes, depending on who commits them. I read about this story and one question that kept coming to mind isn’t mentioned here, but bears thinking about. This [Read More]

Education: In Defense Of Maryland Rape Culture
By: Mike McDaniel Let us, gentle readers, engage in a brief thought experiment. A criminal, through the good graces of a foolish progressive judge, is given a low bail for a charge of rape, obtains a bail bond, and is quickly back out on the street. Being a serial rapist, [Read More]

Bookworm Beat 3/30/17 — tight-knit communities, nuclear families, and individual worth
Looking at this grab-bag post, I can see the common thread: valuing tight-knit communities, nuclear families, and each individual’s worth. I know why Utah’s welfare is working. Megan McArdle wrote a much-talked-about article in which she looked at Utah, which has extremely good and affordable social services. The key to [Read More]

George Faught: When celebrating life is hate speech
Oklahoma state representative George Faught believes each human life is precious, an idea that sees the Left castigating him as “dumb” and “vile.” The Lefties on my Facebook page have been reduced to stuttering incoherence by a statement from Oklahoma State Representative George Faught about pregnancies resulting from rape or [Read More]

Bookworm Beat 3/23/17 — If it’s not one sociopath in the news it’s another
Today’s news could be called Sociopath News, thanks to scheming politicians and bureaucrats, scary athletes, sex-crazed illegal aliens, and more. Officially, there’s no such thing as a “sociopath.” Sociopath is just lay person shorthand for someone with an antisocial personality disorder. So that we’re all on the same page here [Read More]

Kelly Herron: A Courageous And Fortunate Young Woman

Question: Why is a Progressive woman so afraid of Donald Trump?
I read an interesting exchange on Facebook involving a Progressive woman who is terrified of Trump. The conversation started with a challenge to way in which women living under sharia law are brutally abused. While acknowledging this abuse in faraway places, the woman insisted that those were cultural issues and [Read More]

“Baby, It’s Cold Outside” — it’s about romantic seduction, not rape
The SJW’s have finally gotten around to turning their evil, gimlet eye on Frank Loesser’s delightful Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” which they are now characterizing as a date rape song. It’s terribly sad, really, that in this day and age of hookups, we have a generation that’s unable to recognize [Read More]

Honestly, I can’t handle the stress as we go into the last twenty-four hours of this election cycle. For the first time in . . . well, ever, I’m deliberately ignoring the news. I haven’t opened a single blog today, and I’m ignoring Facebook too. BUT, when my friends send [Read More]

Stanford “rape victim” should not be a Glamour “Woman Of The Year”
I’m still peeved that Glamour Magazine named Brock Turner’s “rape victim” a Woman Of The Year, which set feminism back at least a hundred years by infantilizing women and insisting that the power in all situations rests solely with men. Thus, Glamour has reinforced the modern “feminist” notion that “Being a [Read More]

Matt Drudge tweeted an interesting promise about Hillary
According to Matt Drudge, Hillary has reason to be nervous right about now: Oh, on the sex stuff.

Field Marshall Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington, was politician who successfully took to the field to defeat Napoleon and then resumed his political career, eventually rising to become Prime Minister. Given his alpha male status, and the rather loose morals amongst the aristocracy in the early 19th century, Wellington was consistently unfaithful to [Read More]

by Robert J. Avrech Between 1919 and 1921, Gloria Swanson starred in a series of wildly popular films for director Cecile B. De Mille in which the iconography of Hollywood glamour was formally codified. The titles of these films carry the whiff of scandal and decadence: Don’t Change Your Husband [Read More]

The Bookworm Beat 8/22/16 — the “as the world turns” edition and open thread
No wonder 1984 is no longer required reading in high schools. One of the Little Bookworms, after a summer of sloth, decided to read something noteworthy before returning to school. Her choice was George Orwell’s 1984, which I would include in any top 25 or even top 10 reading list. [Read More]
