  • In the News – 7/22/08

    By Selwyn Duke First up, Mexico has awarded its highest honor to Ted Kennedy for the work he has done on behalf of immigrants and invaders.  I think it’s called the Medal of the American Traitor.  Congrats, Ted. As you may know, The New York Times has again tipped its liberal hand, refusing to publish…

  • Barack Obama and Equal Pay for Women

    By Selwyn Duke What do you call a man who sermonizes about the evils of paying women less than men but allows that very practice in his own office? While a certain unflattering noun would leap to the minds of most, we can now apply a proper one: Barack Obama.

  • 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…

  • 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

    By Selwyn Duke 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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.
