  • By Selwyn Duke “We’re not pro-abortion; we want it to be safe, legal — and rare.” That’s what the Left used to say, anyway. But that’s really now, well, so 2007. Since then, we heard Barack Obama campaigning in 2008 and talking about how, if his daughters “make a mistake,” they shouldn’t be “punished with a baby.”…

  • By Selwyn Duke It was in 2005 that I wrote about the “dehumanizing of men.” A half-decade earlier, the book The War Against Boys by Christina Hoff Sommers was published. Yet the anti-male spirit of the age marched on, and now the consequences are painfully apparent. In fact and in a way, young men today are going…

  • By Selwyn Duke “Equality is unfair!” proclaimed TV curmudgeon Archie Bunker in a 1974 All in the Family episode. “What’s the point of a man working hard all of his life trying to get someplace,” he bellowed, gesticulating wildly, “if all he’s going to do is wind up equal?!” It was a hilarious scene and line and,…

  • By Selwyn Duke What are the best indicators that a person will embrace left-wing authoritarianism? An interesting study, related by psychologist Jordan Peterson years ago, found that the best indicator was having low verbal intelligence. Number two was “being female.” None of this would surprise commentator Andrea Widburg. (I don’t think it did surprise her, either, when…

  • By Selwyn Duke In 2014, the Obama administration sued the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) for treating women equally. Yes, you read that right. The problem: Female applicants were failing the PSP physical fitness test at a higher rate than did their male counterparts. It didn’t matter, either, that the standards had already been laughably dumbed down.…

  • By Selwyn Duke In a disastrous recent Men’s Day celebration, New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani couldn’t lift 135 pounds. Nonetheless, some liberals believe the socialist communist may succeed in lifting the Democrats out of their doldrums with young men. This hope may seem fanciful to some. What’s next, they could wonder, trying to…

  • By Selwyn Duke “At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child,” wrote late journalist P.J. O’Rourke in 1992. This creature is, he continued, “miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless.” One could now think, “My, I wish O’Rourke would’ve stopped mincing words and told us how he really felt.”…

  • By Selwyn Duke “Well, that’s very stylish.” So said tough silver-screen cop Dirty Harry Callahan, in the 1976 film The Enforcer, reacting to a feminist initiative. Its goal was, a woke female official informed, to “broaden the areas of participation for women in the police force.” This was, of course, art imitating life, and today we’re…

  • By Selwyn Duke When the Māori conquered the Moriori in the South Pacific in the mid-19th century, they proceeded to kill most of the fighting-age men and boys. The process, known as “androcide,” has occurred numerous times in history. The idea: Neuter a society by eliminating masculinity — in this case, by eliminating the masculine…

  • By Selwyn Duke Imagine, as a thought exercise, that a prominent man said the following, explaining why he was purposely raising kids without a mother. Do you know how f****** great it is to live exactly how I want to live, to experience fatherhood exactly how I wanted to experience it? And I know the next thing they say…
