The December 6th Misrepresentation

Shame on Feminism, not on us

It’s that time of year again: Some Feminists are refusing to set meetings and appointments for December 6th; and if last year and the previous 20 are any indication, we can expect a deplorable multiple murder to be [...]

The Princess Syndrome

(Why—and how?—to forestall it)

Since i mentioned the Princess Syndrome in my last post, this is a handy time to write something about the syndrome itself, and its unrealism, here on Everyman. Though quite distinct from Feminism, and much older; the Princess [...]

Promoting Islam by extending Feminist privilege:

An American Paradox?

This post began as a response to an “Outraged Anglican-American Feminist”; and if the Webmaster deems it appropriate and valuable, some of my most general responses to her outrage will appear after the end of the main text.

Some Better Reasons for a Sex Strike

Recently, i was referred by some other website, to one called “The No Access Sex Strike”. It seemed to me to be mimicking Lysistrata, but with less style and eloquence1. Instead of wanting soldiers to stop fighting (and often killing) one another, the site’s operators seem to want the [...]

Feminism and the Oobleck

Dr. Seuss wrote the best young-children’s stories of his time, i believe, because he wrote fables. His stories were not only entertaining and amusing—they were instructive and archetypal. Green Eggs and Ham was about prejudice—not mean-spirited or vicious prejudice even, just prejudice based in a vague distaste for the [...]

Patriarchy …

Maybe patriarchy isn’t so bad after all—maybe, in fact, it is good in context, and maybe some of those Feminists who condemn it so viciously and see it where it is not, “protest too much” (in Shakespeare’s famous phrase.) The [...]
