Feminism Will Rise Again
Again, I’ll repeat that feminism achieved all it could as a movement in the west by the late 1980s. At that point, the next logical move would have been to expand and address non-western misogynistic practices (of which there is … Continue reading
A Tale of Two Victims…
After a number of misguided (Obama winning the Peace Prize?) or clearly publicity seeking (Dylan winning Literature?) Nobel awards, the Nobel Peace Prize this year was unusually well-deserved. The prize was awarded jointly to Nadia Murad and Dennis Mukwege, both … Continue reading
Is the Non-Binary Eating Itself?
Recently at a respectable (in the Victorian sense) supposedly feminist blog which I’d rather not link to, readers were advised to remember in comments to a post on childbirth that “not only women give birth”. A query about this odd … Continue reading

Gee…. Think There’s Maybe a Chance? :)
Oh no! Feministing might have to close it doors! I don’t know whether to laugh or….. laugh even louder. I remember when it was just kind embarassing. I understand the basic idea, give earnest young people a place to express … Continue reading
Smash the Patriarchy and Put More Women in Peril
This is partly a failure of feminism. the systems that would have protected her in the past are those that patriarchy set up to save young people from the folly of following their young unruly passions. Left to their own … Continue reading
They’re Not Strong, They’re not Invincible…
I finally kind of figured what’s wrong with modern ‘feminism’. I’ve often repeated that while second wave feminism was needed the third wave went off the rails into obsessing about private behavior (and a fair amount of nonsense) rather than … Continue reading
