Home >> United States & Canada Feminism & Marriage Is the World’s Greatest Golfer a Woman?
Prof. Nicholas Stix - 4/25/2008
People disagree as to who the world’s greatest athlete is. Some say it’s David Wright, some pick Carlos Beltran, still others prefer Johan Santana, and some are still carrying a torch for Jose Reyes. But not AOL’s Kevin Blackistone. In “Ochoa Hottest Athlete in Sports,” he says it’s female golfer, Lorena Ochoa, who just won four consecutive tournaments. Though Valentine’s Day was two months ago, Blackistone even wrote a valentine to Ochoa: A Return From The Feminist Abyss?
Prof. Nicholas Stix - 4/9/2008
In her 1998 book, A Return to Modesty: Discovering the Lost Virtue, Wendy Shalit argues that not money, but modesty (read: chastity) makes the world go ‘round. Shalit sees the loss of female sexual modesty as having made girls and women miserable, and invited men—who hardly need such an invitation—to treat them badly. In the name of a more “authentic” sexual culture, everyone’s “doing it,” yet almost everyone’s miserable.
A 23-year-old recent graduate of Williams College at the time of the book's publishing, Shalit believes that real sex differences exist, as o... Anti-Feminism: What Is It?
Pranav S. Atit - 3/24/2008
It is uncertain as to what anti-feminism is or it can also be said that it is uncertain as to what feminism is. Although, it is ambiguous as to when anti-feminism originated, it originated due to adverse views against feminism. The origin of feminism in turn originated due to the fact that women traditionally had been regarded as inferior to men, physically and intellectually. Both the law and the feminist movement, however, was concretely established when an issue for declaration of independence for women , demanding full legal parity, equal compensation and the right to vote was pressed for ...

Recently, educational researchers have begun to review the changes within our educational system brought about by such diverse factors as standardized testing in the schools, the rise of gender feminism, and the currently widespread use of drugs to treat alleged behavioral disorders in our schoolchildren.

[Review of George Gilder's VISIBLE MAN, new edition published by ICS and Discovery Institute.]
For reasons that have been endlessly chronicled and analyzed, tens of thousands of black men have removed themselves from playing productive roles as fathers and husbands. These men are in prisons across the country, roam the streets of cities and towns, and are attached to activities that undermine the cohesion of every community they pass through. It is this missing masculine drive and energy that is at the heart of why the poor black comm... Hillary Clinton: Is Gender on Trial?

For years, the most striking features of America under Mr. Bush was its fight against the terrorism and the close association between President Bush and his chief political strategist Karl Rove in shaping the destiny of America. Karl Rove is history now, and as people are already counting the days of Mr. Bush in the White House, American politics is on the verge of a major twist. Feminism and Demoralization of the Military
Elizabeth Wright - 11/14/2007
Of the many painful consequences brought on by the surrender to political correctness, the demoralization of the United States military is surely among the saddest. First, force young men, who already face the challenge of bringing their unruly spirits under the control of rigorous military discipline to face the even greater challenge of reining in their urgent, natural drives-while living, dining and sleeping in close quarters with women. Then mix in the young women, who, while ostensibly pursuing military careers, are expected to suppress their visceral drive to capture lifemates. And what do you get? Confusion, and a lot of pregnancies. How the Feminists’ “War against Boys” Paved the Way for Radical Islam

Some commentators like to point out that many of the most passionate and bravest defenders of the West are women, citing Italian writer Oriana Fallaci and others. But women like Ms. Fallaci, brave as they might be, are not representative of all Western women. If you look closely, you will notice that, on average, Western women are actually more supportive of Multiculturalism and massive immigration than are Western men. Feminism Leads to the Oppression of Women

As University President, Lawrence Summers in 2005 gave a speech where he dared to suggest that innate differences between men and women could explain why men hold more seats as top scientists than women. This is a plausible thesis. According to Dr Paul Irwing at Manchester University, there are twice as many men with an IQ of 120-plus as there are women, and 30 times as many with an IQ of 170-plus. There are o... Are Women Underpaid?
Ross G. Kaminsky - 5/6/2007
My friend Prof. Don Boudreaux, Chairman of the Department of Economics at George Mason University, recently wrote about proposed "pay equity" legislation. While I agree with Don that such legislation is ignorant and dangerous, I took issue with him on his description of women as "underpriced resources". I need to clarify that after writing my note to Don, he said that he was simply making fun of Obama and Harkin, and that he agrees with my views. That makes sense, since Don is almost never wrong (although we disagree with some frequency on immigration.) Women and Bloodshed: The Fury of War, the Struggle for Survival
Candi Cross - 2/13/2006
A procession of girls and women fall to their knees upon a deafening howl. The commandant has called them to order by striking a whip against the urine-soaked wall and screaming so loud, the hounds at her feet whimper in angst. The naked girls and women are not unruly. They merely plead for a piece of bread she waves over their noses and cadaverous, cracked lips. Their bodies are almost invisible now they’re so malnourished, brittle bones protruding from a thick coat of filth. Two women polish her combat boots with their tongues. Another desperately leans against the commandant’s curvy body in... Euphoric and Dysphoric Phases in Marriage
Sam Vaknin, Ph.D. - 11/28/2005
Despite all the fashionable theories of marriage, the narratives and the feminists, the reasons to get married largely remain the same. True, there have been role reversals and new stereotypes have cropped up. But biological, physiological and biochemical facts are less amenable to modern criticisms of culture. Men are still men and women are still women. Targetting Women in War
Kamala Sarup - 10/4/2005
Women are facing multiple threats. Despite constituting more than half of the world's population, they are marginalized, violated and abused. Too many women still can not choose when or whether to become pregnant. There is no reproductive freedom for the women in Asia. They have to bear children one after the other until her husband is satisfied. A son is a must. Women in Transition - From Post Feminism to Past Femininity
Sam Vaknin, Ph.D. - 5/8/2005
"[In]... the brothels off Wenceslas Square, in central Prague, [where] sexual intercourse can be bought for USD 25 - about half the price charged at a German brothel... Slav women have supplanted Filipinos and Thais as the most common foreign offering in [Europe]."
The Economist, August 2000, p.18 "I'm also wary of the revolutionary ambition of some feminist texts, with their ideas about changing present conditions, having seen enough attempted utopia's for one lifetime."
