My parents’ generation endured Depression, World War and the existential threat of communism. They never complained about it – or about much of anything. Today’s generation are the safest and richest in human history – and they complain about everything. I guess when you’ve never really endured real hardship, the
Way back in the 90s, Katie Roiphe was rudely booted out of the feminist sisterhood for having the temerity to point out that Third Wave feminists had more in common with Victorian-era misogynists and that women were perfectly-capable grown adults. A quarter-century later, what has changed? Well, it’s got
The definition of insanity, it is said, is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. On that score, the Australian media can be forgiven their periodic pack-hunts because until now, depending on how Attorney-General Christian Porter’s defamation case against the ABC goes, they’ve not
Lindsay Mitchell lindsaymitchell.blogspot.com I don’t know much about this guy Piers Morgan. His face is recognisable from a British talent show I watched for maybe a season? I live in New Zealand and don’t follow social media – or barely – so am unfamiliar with his views. Verity
If we were to believe the hysterical claims of Western feminists, the streets of Australia are as hazardous for women as the battlefields of the Congo. The “one in four women will be raped” trope is as blatant nonsense as BLM’s fact-free hysteria over police shootings. Like BLM’s
Amidst all the palaver and virtue-signalling in the media, and the strangely contradictory cavalcade of back-slapping and pearl-clutching whining of International Women’s Day, there is one group of Australian women who go almost completely ignored by the great and good of the Lady Pages and Mummy Bloggers. While we’
Perhaps the oddest thing about woke-ism is just how many feminists choose to ally themselves with a movement that embraces what are easily the two most misogynist ideologies going. Woke-ism’s fetishisation of Islam is weird enough. An ultra-conservative religion characterised by legions of brutally intolerant followers who violently abhor

Anne I worry about the future of women if we cannot say ‘women have babies’. I’m a woman with XX chromosomes, have grown from girlhood through all life stages to deliver three wonderful babies, breast-fed those babies and given them the best start I possibly could. Nobody knows the

Is there any contemporary ideology more misogynistic that transgenderism? At least Islam only relegates women to secondary status. Transgenderism is trying to erase women altogether. Old school sexism declared that women were inferior to men in many ways, but at least acknowledged their superiority in certain essential roles. As the
Tierin-Rose Mandelburg newsbusters.org It’s TERFs vs. Trans! Twitter is awash in rhetorical blood as two reliably lefty identity groups are skirmishing again. But this time, it’s Joe Biden’s fault. Biden announced Wednesday that he was reversing Trump administration limitations on Title IX and restoring the draconian
Ann Vickery Deakin University Growing up in Australia in the 1970s, I much preferred the hijinks of Han Solo and Chewie to Princess Leia’s sexualised damsel in distress. My sister and I spent an entire summer pigging out on Choc Wedges and Barney Bananas so we could collect the
