Jane Campion is renowned for making long, dull, moody flicks that are as gorgeously filmed (and as boring) as anything David Lean ever did that wasn’t Lawrence of Arabia. Naturally, they’re reliable Oscar-bait and great favourites for wide, dull, moody feminists. The Power of the Dog is no
As Bettina Arndt and Christina Hoff-Summers are pointing out — to the screeching fury of triggered feminist frightbats everywhere — the education is systematically failing boys. Read that sentence properly: it’s the system which is failing boys. Boys might be failing schools in ever-increasing numbers, but that’s because they’re
Anyone who’s been to school in the last 50 years will be familiar with it: Girls can do anything! Boys… well, boys can just learn to shut up and sit still. Since 1972, under the Whitlam government, Australian schools have relentlessly pursued strategies to encourage girls’ achievement in schools.
So, cross-dressing dominatrixes are just fine and dandy with the Girl Guides, but women — actual women — who stand up for actual girls’ rights are summarily sacked. As the BFD reported recently, “Guiding UK” (they’ve stopped even pretending to be a girls’ organisation) appointed as lead commissioner a man who
Finally Scott Morrison has grown a pair almost as big as Hannah Mouncey’s. For all that he’s stood firm against China on the international stage, there hasn’t been a domestic Culture War issue on which Scotty from Marketing wasn’t prepared to fold like a cheap suit.
George R. R. Martin, author of the A Song of Ice and Fire book cycle that birthed hit tv show Game of Thrones, is not a fan of fan-fiction. Because, he says, it’s lazy and bad writing. “You have to invent your own characters, you have to do your
righttolife.org.uk During the ‘March for Choice’ held in London last year, a small group of pro-abortion protestors loudly sang “We need abortions, because it’s quite alright” to the tune of 1960s ballad “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You“. In 2019, they sang the same version of
Transgenderism has to be the biggest own goal in the history of feminism. Not that feminism isn’t littered with own goals: for all the gains that women undeniably made in the first, and to a lesser extent the second, waves of the movement, there is plenty of evidence that
I have some good memories of the Girl Guides. I understand that that statement may take some explaining: I was, in fact, a Cub and then a Scout in my youth, but my Mum was a Guides leader. She was thoroughly dedicated to her role and was a beloved figure
When I write about the push to normalise paedophilia, many people find it hard to believe that such a thing could ever come to be. I wish I could be so sure. I certainly grant that it’s a longer march than any the rainbow left have led us down
Planned Parenthood is one of the unassailable demigods of the American left. No matter how vile an organisation it continually proves itself to be. Even leaving aside the vexed question of the right or wrongs of abortion per se, Planned Parenthood is, on its own actions, just a nasty piece
We’re constantly subjecting to feminine caterwauling about “gender gaps”, these days. “Gender wage gap”, “gender sports gap”, even a “Wikipedia gender gap”. What’s noticeable about most of these “gaps” is that they’re almost exclusively the concern of well-off, university-educated, professional women. It’s almost like these fishwives
Maybe the Scots are too used to men wearing dresses, or maybe it’s the fact that they’re ruled by literal national socialists: whatever the reason, there’s some strange business afoot, north of the wall. Not the least of which is the official assertion that rapists with penises
Has anyone noticed just how creepy the new wave of “transgender women” so often are? I mean, there’ve always been drag queens and transvestites: but most of them were adamant that they were men, albeit homosexual men who dressed in women’s clothing. There were also a persistent minority
Have you ever noticed that the loudest woke screechers are almost invariably the most privileged? We have the likes of Barack Obama lecturing working shmos about their “privilege” from any one of his mansions. Then there’s the odious Megan Rapinoe. Sporting a perpetual sourpuss, the purple-haired harridan — whose own
It was probably inevitable the French would fiercely resist the slide into pronoun wokeism — or wokisme, as they call it, across the Channel. After all, not only are the French fiercely protective of their language, but the whole nonsense of “gender theory” is an academic lunacy dreamt up in that
