  • The Backlash Against Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Has Chilling Echoes to the Nuremberg Laws of Nazi Germany

    The Backlash Against Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Has Chilling Echoes to the Nuremberg Laws of Nazi Germany0

    Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will play folk hero John Henry in an upcoming Netflix movie. Until the recent backlash, I was unaware that Johnson is only half black; his mother is Samoan. Some think Johnson, who is among the highest-paid actors in the world, is not black enough to play a black man in the

  • What Princess Eugenie’s Wedding Reveals About Good Marriages

    What Princess Eugenie’s Wedding Reveals About Good Marriages0

    In checking out the morning’s headlines, I discovered I had overlooked a very important event: Princess Eugenie’s wedding to Jack Brooksbank. I suppose I can’t really be blamed. Although a princess, Eugenie ranks ninth in succession to the British throne, a fact which naturally makes her wedding a little less visible than William’s or Harry’s.

    The PC Crowd Goes After the Honored Dead0

    I recently picked up an old novel by author Maud Hart Lovelace entitled Emily of Deep Valley. Having read Lovelace’s celebrated Betsy-Tacy series for children and young adults a number of years ago, I expected a fun, carefree story that would offer a reprieve from heavy reading. But while the story was an easy read,

  • When Feminism Turns on Women

    When Feminism Turns on Women0

    Anger at Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court shows no sign of diminishing. In the eyes of feminists, his appointment represents “a clear reaffirmation of an entrenched, patriarchal hierarchy.” However, the fact that Christine Blasey Ford’s largely evidence-free allegations against Kavanaugh were so nearly successful in overturning his nomination suggest the patriarchy is not
