The War on Boys: Where Feminists and Men’s Rights Activists Go Wrong

By Selwyn Duke

One problem with one-issue activists, it seems, is that they often view matters from only one dimension. This has always been one of the characteristics of feminists. Men get blame for being history’s conquerors and killers, for instance, but no credit for being its innovators and healers. We will hear about how women “create life” while men only destroy it, but forgotten are the fruits of men’s labors. Were it not for male medical advances that virtually eliminated female death during childbirth, many feminists wouldn’t be around to crow about their fecundity.

JBS Piece: The Real Discrimination Causing the Male/Female Wage Gap

By Selwyn Duke

We all know about the lifespan gap between the sexes that favors women. Now, what if I said it was due to discrimination, that it obviously means men’s health issues are ignored by a callous, misandristic society; thus, government must intervene to balance the scales.

Obama's Chivalry

So Barack Obama has just issued a warning: Lay off my wife!  Upset about the attacks on his unpatrio . . . oh, sorry, I mean, his better half, he said:

The Sexes: Wage Gap or Truth Gap?

By Selwyn Duke

Hillary Clinton recently scored political points talking about that infamous wage gap between the sexes.  This inspired Carey Roberts -- a writer who mainly focuses on issues relating to feminism -- to pen a piece exploring the notion that this gap is attributable to discrimination.  Roberts makes an excellent point as one of his opening salvos:

Cultural Affirmative Action

By Selwyn Duke

In a way, I prefer the old, overt affirmative action. While it was government-sanctioned discrimination, at least it was, in some measure, more honest than our cultural affirmative action. There is such a thing. It’s when people in the market and media privilege others – sometimes unconsciously – based upon the latter’s identification with a “victim group.”

A Woman on Women

By Selwyn Duke

I must say that my eyebrows were raised by a piece by Charlotte Allen titled "We Scream, We Swoon. How Dumb Can We Get?"  She writes about her incredulity at how emotion driven and bereft of logic so many of her fellow women are.  Now, it's not the subject matter that shocked me but the fact that a leftist rag like The Washington Post would actually publish something so politically incorrect.  Wow . . . maybe these are the end times.

JBS Piece: Real Inconvenient Truths.... About Abortion

By Selwyn Duke

Out of Britain comes a very sad, sad story. Emma Beck, an artist tormented by having aborted her twins, was found hanging at her home a day before her 31st birthday. Expressing her grief and regret in a suicide note, she wrote: "I should never have had an abortion. I see now I would have been a good mum."

NOW Slams Ted Kennedy

By Selwyn Duke

It's a beautiful thing when leftists start to eat their own.  The New York chapter of the National Organization for Women has harshly condemned Ted Kennedy for his endorsement of Barack Hussein Obama. 

Emasculating the Viking

By Selwyn Duke

Truth is stranger than fiction, and it's growing stranger by the day.  In Sweden, the Nordic Battlegroup's coat of arms has always depicted a heraldic lion that wields a sword and, well, let's just say, is anatomically correct.  But now that nation's armed forces have agreed to emasculate the cat after a group of ne'er-do-well female soldiers lodged a complaint to the "European Court of Justice."  So now the lion has been neutered.

Some Children Become Human Sooner than Others

By Selwyn Duke

When does an unborn baby become human?  If our contradictory laws are to be believed, it all depends on geographical  location and whether or not the wrong person tries to kill him.  A case in point comes to us from Wisconsin, where a man, Manishkumar Patel, is being charged with first-degree murder for slipping the abortion drug RU-486 into his pregnant mistress' drink.
