Remember when Bill Clinton argued that, ideally, abortion should be “safe, legal — and rare”? Ah, happy days. Now, if you don’t fervently endorse anything and everything up to hacking unwanted newborns to pieces, you’re a woman-hating monster. Am I exaggerating? Only a little. Look up “partial birth abortion”
Jay Maxson newsbusters.org Wednesday was National Girls and Women in Sports Day, and University of Kentucky All-American swimmer Riley Gaines is campaigning against the annihilation of female athletics. In a Fox News op-ed, she renewed calls to protect the integrity of women’s sports. Gaines and other female collegiate
As I’ve written before, there’s something deeply creepy about male-female “transgenders”. While that seems especially true of late-onset male-female trannies (men who’ve lived years of their adult lives as often hyper-masculine men, but who suddenly feel the urge to put on a frock and some lippy), an
December 23rd 2022. Christmas is nearly upon us as the UK slowly slides further down the gurgler. It is hard to find a body in the public sector that isn’t suffering from a strike. Ironically, border force staff at six airports have gone on strike, but incoming passengers seem
Katherine Baker mercatornet.com Katherine Baker is a freelance writer who lives in Western Pennsylvania. A couple of years ago there was quite a kerfuffle about the holiday duet, “Baby, its Cold Outside”. This song, from 1944, features a dialogue which some people might describe as a man trying to
Is transgenderism the most openly misogynist ideology this side of Islam? What can we say, after all, about an ideology that asserts that men are better at women at everything, including being women? An ideology that reduces women to “birthing persons”? An ideology that tells lesbians that they must have
It’s long faded from the collective memory, but 35 years ago, the “Ormond College Affair” was a hot-button issue for Australia’s chattering classes. It was also a precursor of the whole “MeToo” witch-hunt: vengeful harpies weaponising anonymous – and, as a court later decided, false – allegations of “sexual harassment”
One thing I’ve wondered about is what the “T” is doing in LGBT. “Lesbian”, “Gay” and “Bisexual” refer to sexual orientation, who you prefer to sleep with. “Transgender” has nothing to do with sexual orientation. Further, someone who is transgender can be gay, lesbian or bisexual. “So what?” you
When Yassmin Abdel-Magied bellowed that Islam, to me, is THE most feminist religion, an idiot’s chorus of the Australian left-media honked agreement. “She is right,” barked The Guardian. The Bible of bourgeois, Double Bay feminists, Mamamia, almost broke their Jimmy Choos in their rush to defend Abdel-Magied and Islam.
Information Opinion It wasn’t so long ago that we saw Auckland’s mayor de-platform speakers who had views that he didn’t like by taking away the council facilities that they had booked. He did it at the last minute, making it almost impossible for them to find another

I won’t name names, but for many years the local football was on a years-long losing streak. Their response was to repeatedly sack coaches after a season while keeping the same roster of players. When I raised this over a beer or two, a friend responded, “Cos it’s
“Dumbing down” is a concept first applied to education. It’s the too-often-demonstrated reality that, if students find their lessons too hard, educators opt to make the lessons dumber, because it’s easier than trying to force students to think harder. But “dumbing down” has come to be deployed across
Information Opinion One of the paradoxical aspects of Abraham Lincoln’s presidency was the strong criticism he received from the Anti-Slavery League (of all people!). Many members of that league had earned a good living and received a great deal of attention, which was unlikely to otherwise be directed towards
Anyone who thinks that women aren’t being erased from the public sphere is just not paying attention. In a particularly egregious example, a recent awareness campaign for ovarian cancer featured… drag queens. That’s right, men in misogynistic blackface were the public face of an illness that can by
