Our daughters deserve to be treated authentically; they should not become fodder for political spats.As the 1987 film “The Princess Bride” nears its satisfying conclusion, a distraught Princess Buttercup, thinking her Westley is lost to her, picks up a dagger and presses it to her chest. As she contemplates life without her Westley, Westley, reclining nearby, admonishes her with, “There’s a shortage of perfect breasts in this world. It would be a pity to damage yours.” Lately, headlines have been hyper-focused on female anatomy. Due to the leak of Justice Alito’s draft addressing Dobbs, a challenge to Roe, and the...

The Taliban have barred women from flying alone on domestic and international airlines operating in Afghanistan. The change in flight policy was announced on Monday as the latest move by the militant group to hinder women's rights within Afghanistan. ... The policy specifically told airlines that women could not board a flight without a male relative or chaperone, two sources told Reuters. The policy change barred dozens of women who arrived at Kabul's international airport from transferring flights, officials told the Associated Press on condition of anonymity. Local women and dual nationals were equally affected by the policy and were...

A group of feminists staged a demonstration outside the women's NCAA swimming championships last week to protest transgender swimmer Lia Thomas from the University of Pennsylvania competing against biological women. Many of the feminists noted that they had been supporters of the Democratic Party. However, they felt betrayed since they believe the Democrats have abandoned women and girls. Save Women's Sports – a "coalition that fights to preserve sex-based eligibility for female sports" – organized a protest outside Georgia Tech's athletic center in Atlanta, Georgia. Amy E. Sousa – a self-proclaimed "engaged embodiment expert" and "radical feminist" – voiced her...

With the current administration working overtime to help continue the push for the radical trans agenda, biological women who happen to be Democrats are saying they feel ‘politically homeless’ with the Biden administration and factions of the Left trying to erase the existence of real women.Fox News took to interviewing a handful of feminist protesters staged outside of the McAuley Center, where biologically male UPenn swimmer Will “Lia” Thomas recently crushed the actual female competition in an NCAA nationals competition on March 17th.One woman clearly made reference to the Thomas debacle, saying she doesn’t care what steps a biological male...

Real Men Missing Emasculated conservatives calling for the restoration of America’s lost manhood are often the ones most responsible for destroying it. Conservative leadership today lacks strong men of courage who will, using solid first principles, face down the radical left. In other words, conservatism today has been emasculated. There is no better word for it. In a recent interview with Glenn Beck, Tucker Carlson described the present Republican leadership: They’re weak. There’s something in them that’s weak, and they’ve decided… ‘The other side is ascended. The left is winning. I’m not gonna push any buttons that might infuriate them.’...

Sarah Jessica Parker is over the criticism she and her “Sex and the City” co-stars have received for how their physical appearances have changed as they’ve gotten older. “There’s so much misogynist chatter in response to us that would never. Happen. About. A. Man.,” Parker, 56, told Vogue in an accompanying interview for her December cover shoot. “’Gray hair, gray hair, gray hair. Does she have gray hair?’” Parker is referring to the pics of her rocking her natural gray locks that went viral after she was spotted having lunch with friends in July. “I’m sitting with Andy Cohen, and...

On October 30th, People ran a story as part of their ‘Women’s Choices, Women’s Voices’ “stories from abortion-seekers” campaign, featuring the example of a Texas woman named Mariah Armonta, a single mom of three living children, with her youngest being just nine months old. When she took a pregnancy test after missing her period in mid-October, the result confirmed that Armonta was expecting her fourth child. The 25-year-old, who had been back to work for just six months following her nine-month-old daughter’s birth, told People that her initial reaction was panic. She scheduled an appointment at a Texas abortion business...

WORLD—After a century of hard-fought battles for equal rights, the feminist movement has finally achieved its ultimate goal of obliterating women's sports, relabeling mothers "birthing persons," and getting women drafted into the military. "We are so proud of what we have achieved," said Mandy Chandrilla, a biological man who now identifies as a female feminist. "Women were so oppressed, and we realized there was really no way around it, so we just rendered the term 'woman' meaningless and effectively eliminated women as a meaningful category of human altogether. Hooray for feminism!" Chandrilla then shotgunned a beer and crushed the can...

The murder of a 13-year-old in Vienna, for which four Afghan asylum seekers are said to be responsible, poses a dilemma for feminists: Should there be sympathy for a girl who, according to the current state of the investigation, was drugged with up to eleven ecstasy tablets, raped several times and killed or outrage over "racist reporting"? VIENNA.. The Wiener Einsatzgruppe Feminist Alarmabteilung (Wefa) decided on the latter. Around 20 hooded Wefa women stormed the rooms of the news portal oe24.at in the Austrian capital on Wednesday and attacked the employees. On handouts, the feminists complained that reports of the...

The fly-over woman understands her womanhood and motherhood deep in her bones and doesn’t see maleness as a goal to achieve or person to conquer.Adherents of radical feminism are five decades into a powerful campaign that seeks to shape the way American women think. Politics, fashion, Hollywood, academia, and media propagate a singular vision of womanhood, relying on savvy use of optics, messaging, and even make-up. These radical feminists have done a remarkable job of silencing or sidelining their critics. Ironically, whether they know it or not, feminists’ unspoken premise insists men are superior to women and women must become...

In the wake of sex scandals that have rocked the British charity, an Oxfam staff training document says “privileged white women” are supporting the root causes of sexual violence by wanting “bad men” imprisoned. The Telegraph reports that the four-week ‘learning journey’ states that: “Mainstream feminism centres on privileged white women and demands that ‘bad men’ be fired or imprisoned”. Accompanied by a cartoon of a crying white woman, it adds that this “legitimises criminal punishment, harming black and other marginalised people”. The PowerPoint recommends staff read Me Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism, a book by Alison Phipps,...

I don’t know a mother who would not die for her children. There is no greater love, and, speaking politically now, there is no greater responsibility. Contrary to the oft-parroted shibboleths of modern feminism, a mother’s role is not beneath her. It is actually above her, in the sense that motherhood inherently elevates women as cultivators of the gratuitous gift we know as life itself. Perhaps they already know this. Perhaps this is the point. The reciprocal truth of the female body and the female soul is fundamentally incompatible with the progressive, individualist, materialist, liberal feminist worldview. So the two...

Modern women follow a set of rules that are supposed to make them happy when followed. But the rules aren't based on anything other than an entitled, self-obsessed, victimization complex.>Aidy Bryant’s testament to the independent modern woman, “Shrill,” comes to a close with the third and final season now airing on Hulu. Bryant’s Annie Easton is Mary Tyler Moore in a plus-sized mini dress, taking on the world with a smile and a can-do attitude, balanced by a perpetual feeling that she’s being judged for being overweight. Like Mary, Annie is trying to figure it all out as she goes...

In the Biden era, man hating feminists will be empowered to attack men more and more all the time. Biden's misandry is what we've got. How many people here think that Kamala Harris would be an improvement? The answer to Biden is to stand up and fight for what is right. Fight his disguised tyrannies with ideas. Fight the feminist lies with truth. And never forget that what this battle is all about is not male selfishness but protecting the beautiful love and gentleness of mothers from feminist crap. If you ever get to know them, the thing you soon...

There’s a meme circulating on social media that goes like this… If you catch 100 red fire ants as well as 100 large black ants, and put them in a jar, at first, nothing will happen. However, if you violently shake the jar and dump them back on the ground the ants will fight until they eventually kill each other. The thing is, the red ants think the black ants are the enemy and vice versa, when in reality, the real enemy is the person who shook the jar. This is exactly what’s happening in society today. Liberal vs. Conservative....

Multiple high-profile Democratic women have yet to publicly comment on sexual harassment allegations against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo despite having fervently objected to the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court over decades-old allegations of sexual harassment.As of Sunday afternoon, Vice President Kamala Harris, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and two-time presidential candidate Hillary Clinton have released no statement on the claims made by two women who worked closely with Cuomo.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on Sunday declared Democrats are "out of control" in Congress, and warned their progressive legislation is "reshaping America." "...They are changing every policy of [former President Donald] Trump that worked. We are going to be dealing with this out of control immigration." "The asylum claims are going to go through the roof..."

Imagine the following hypothetical situation: Frank and Ellen meet at a night course and end up getting drinks together after class several times. The drinks start to feel like dates, so Ellen asks Frank if he is married, making it clear that adultery is a deal-breaker for her. Frank is married, but he lies and says he is single. The two go to bed. Is Frank guilty of rape? To most people, even those who consider Frank a dishonorable creep, the answer is clearly no. The law agrees: In most American jurisdictions, Frank is not liable for any tort or...

Pope’s pick says ‘clericalist mindset is changing’Sr Nathalie Becquart (CNS/Paul Haring)A French sister who could be the first woman to cast a vote in the Synod of Bishops says her appointment as an undersecretary is evidence the “clericalist mindset is changing”. Source: Crux.Sr Nathalie Becquart told journalists on Wednesday that Pope Francis has been underlining the importance of including women in the decision-making processes, helping move the Church from a clericalist attitude towards a more synodal one.“How can we somehow end with a clerical Church, where there have been abuses, of power and other kind of abuses,” she asked, during...
