By Selwyn Duke The Supreme Court just struck a blow against a very perverse double standard, one common in many states. That standard is this: You can prescribe puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for a child and scar him for life. This is in service to the delusion that the youth is stuck in the…

By Selwyn Duke The Merced City School District isn’t exactly killing it — unless, that is, what it’s killing are its students’ academic fortunes. Only about 22 percent of its pupils are proficient at math, just 35 percent at reading. Black kids in the majority Hispanic California district are doing considerably worse still, too. So…

Image credit: Grok AI. By Selwyn Duke For years now, article after article has been written about how young men are struggling. They fare worse in school than young women and are less likely to graduate college, we hear. Young men have mental-health issues and are more apt to commit suicide. They are socially isolated…

By Selwyn Duke “I’m disturbed, I’m depressed, I’m inadequate — I got it all!” So exclaimed Seinfeld sitcom character George Costanza, trying to woo a woman he believed had a psychologically oriented Florence Nightingale syndrome. It was a funny scene in 1993, and entirely fictional. But today, a generation-plus later, life has sort of imitated art. For unlike with…

By Selwyn Duke More than 50 percent of young, liberal, white women have been diagnosed with some form of “mental health” problem, a 2020 Pew Research Center study found. What’s scarier still, the joke goes, is that this means close to 50 percent are running around undiagnosed. This is a not uncommon joke for a…

By Selwyn Duke There was a time when being a white supremacist meant something (for starters, that you were one in a million). Today, though, it appears that anyone can be a white supremacist. Why, all journalist Larry Elder had to do to become “the black face of white supremacy” was seek California’s governorship. And…

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’s said that the “clothes make the man,” but do they also make the civilization? What’s for sure is that they reflect it, and America’s sartorial slouching these last decades hasn’t reflected well on her. As standards have dropped and laxity increases, we’ve seen deliberately frumpy young women and kids attending school…

By Selwyn Duke When they found Ötzi, the Copper Age European whose remains were discovered in the Alps a few decades back, they nicknamed him The Iceman because they absolutely could identify him as having been a man. But maybe the forensic anthropologists making such determinations should be put in the pokey. That is, if…

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…
