  • Joe Biden’s Man Problem

    By Selwyn Duke “C’mon, man!” would often be an exclamation used in place of argument for Joe Biden. But now he may want to say “C’mon, men!” — even though it likely won’t help. With what? Biden is underwater with male voters, a phenomenon that has only worsened since his cognitive decline was on full…

  • “Toxic Masculinity” Is a Toxic Fiction; “Stop Blaming Men,” Says Author

    By Selwyn Duke Overlapping with the “Enlightenment” and a reaction to it, the lesser-known “Romantic Period” (1790-1850, supposedly) stressed not reason but emotionalism and involved the exaltation of women. Over time this spirit metastasized into an attendant demonization of men; thus do we hear today about “toxic masculinity.” But this is essentially a toxic lie,…

  • Combating Reality: Is Putting Women in Battle a Good Idea?

    By Selwyn Duke “That's a hell of a price to pay for being stylish." So said Clint Eastwood in the 1976 film The Enforcer, lamenting the dangers of lowering police standards in feminism’s name. But the reality is that society has been paying that price for a long time. And now the cost may go…

  • Liberals Tell Men to Keep Their Legs Together

    By Selwyn Duke New York City is becoming (in)famous for no’s. No smoking, no bake sales, no salt, no French fries, no large sodas, no butter in schools, no non-girly toy guns. And now we can add a new no-no to the list: No “man-spreading.” This refers to the habit some men have of sitting…

  • Obama: Just Say No to Stay-at-home Moms

    By Selwyn Duke “And that’s not a choice we want Americans to make.” So said pro-choice president Barack Obama, speaking Friday on women and the economy at Rhode Island College in Providence. And some would say his remark was anything but providential, as the choice he referenced was that of mothers staying at home with…

  • Will “Boys and Girls” be Prohibited in Nebraska Schools?

    By Selwyn Duke They used to say “Stay in school, boys and girls.” But if kids do so now, they may not be “boys and girls” — that is, not if some social engineers get their way. In a shocking and disturbing example of political correctness, newly uncovered middle-school training documents in Lincoln, Nebraska, counsel…

  • Michelle Obama Criticizes America at UN for Treatment of Women

    By Selwyn Duke In a recent address to a United Nations education event, First Lady Michelle Obama decided to shine the light on a certain nation’s treatment of women. No, it wasn’t Saudi Arabia where females aren’t allowed to drive, or the Congo where rape is brutal and systematic. It was the United States. Here’s…

  • Liberal BBC Asks, “Is Sport Sexist?” While Promoting Inequality

    By Selwyn Duke It long ago became clear to me that, despite all the pretense, protesting and politicking, no one who has ever seriously thought about equality actually believes in it. When making this case, one could point to how Eric Holder’s DOJ is currently suing the Pennsylvania State Police for treating women equally (how…

  • Women More Likely to Commit Domestic Violence, Studies Show

    By Selwyn Duke Football player Ray Rice’s video-captured February attack on his then-fiancée has once again brought domestic violence into the public’s consciousness. Or has it? Critics would say that while it has placed a spotlight on violence against women, that isn’t at all synonymous with “domestic violence.” Because studies show that most domestic violence…

  • Eric Holder’s DOJ Suing Police for Treating Women Equally

    By Selwyn Duke If you thought discriminating against women could get you in trouble today, try treating them equally. The Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) is learning this the hard way. The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a lawsuit in late July to end the PSP’s practice of requiring that all state-police applicants, be they male…
