    Clinical Psychologist: ‘Women Hate Harmless Men’0

    Many modern men have been propagandized to believe that modern women want nice, sensitive, empathetic guys who make them feel safe.

    American Children Snack Way More Than European Children. Why?2

    “Mom, can I have a snack?”  It is a question I am asked constantly by my two young children. The frequency of this question increases during the summer months.

    Over 6,000 Title IX Complaints Filed by One Person Last Year0

Yet the liberal columnist Colbert King claimed this tiny 1.66% cut would have somehow “gutted” civil rights

    The wine stain on the carpet looks like Turkey, a little Anatolian plateau in vintage purple—or maybe it’s the head of a chubby theropod.

    Four Feminists Who Abandoned Feminism1
