By Selwyn Duke “There is no female Mozart because there is no female Jack the Ripper,” pointed out feminist professor and cultural critic Camille Paglia, demonstrating a grasp of sex differences. Men do get plenty of “credit” for their Jack the Rippers, too. And their Mozarts (and heroes)? Not so much.

By Selwyn Duke With the election of Donald Trump, many Americans are hopeful that so-called wokeness will go the way of the dodo. Yet as recent warnings inform, such cultural change requires, well, a change in the culture (not just the politics). And perhaps helpful in this regard is considering what happens when a civilization…

By Selwyn Duke A startling political phenomenon exists, and it has never been more profound than during this election cycle. That is, if only women voted, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris would win in a landslide. If only men voted, Republican presidential nominee President Donald Trump would win in a landslide. And one issue that…

By Selwyn Duke If men are from Mars and women from Venus, as author John Gray put it, then something is for sure. Mars is MAGA territory. And Venus is Kamala Land. In fact, as polls consistently demonstrate, the intersex voting gap is perhaps now historically large. For example, the latest NBC poll finds that men favor…

By Selwyn Duke “Britain is now an elite dictatorship where majority opinions are crushed,” wrote the Telegraph last year. That was before, too, the recent imprisonment of Brits for unapproved social-media posts, for, quote, “stirring ‘racial hatred.” (Here’s the evidence, your honor: Here’s the cup the defendant used. Here, in a hazmat container, is what’s left of the…

By Selwyn Duke It was 10 years ago already that the Obama administration sued the Pennsylvania State Police for treating women equally. Female applicants, they said, should not have to meet the same already dumbed-down physical standards the men do. This mentality, epitomized by Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) schemes, has long reigned all across law…

By Selwyn Duke Lest you think our mainstream media are inveterate enemies of tradition, know that their opposition to it is selective. In fact, they now appear to want chivalry applied to female politicians, in the form of protecting them from negative social-media comments. “Don’t hit girls!” is what’s essentially being said. Perhaps coincidentally, too,…

By Selwyn Duke “‘When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’” — Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass As humans, who cannot communicate telepathically, we as a rule will use our common language with its widely agreed-upon…
