This is kind of cool — I’m on a list that Michelle Malkin heads! The young man who runs the Enkay Blog has assembled a list of the top 100 female bloggers and I’m currently in there at number 78. Of course, if this list gets more play (and he hopes it does and is [...]

Honest to God, I really do wonder sometimes if the garden-variety fusion betwen Islamic and Arabic culture is salvageable:
A teenage Iraqi girl who fell in love with a British soldier when he was in Basra was murdered by her father in an “honour killing”, it was revealed today.
Rand Abdel-Qader, 17, was suffocated and then hacked [...]

A few weeks ago, I linked to a Right Wing News post about top female bloggers. John Hawkins is back with another in the series, which again describes some of the garbage hurled at prominent conservative women who blog, and their grounded courage in dealing with this stuff. This time, the women profiled [...]

If you haven’t already read Heather MacDonald’s debunking of the “Rape Epidemic” on college campuses, you must. The whole article is replete with gems such as this one:
The campus rape movement highlights the current condition of radical feminism, from its self-indulgent bathos to its embrace of ever more vulnerable female victimhood. But the movement [...]

Hardcore stuff for real women.
And two jokes:
Joke, the first:
A man comes home from work one day to find the house in complete chaos. The kitchen is piled high with dirty dishes, food is strewn across the floor, the living room looks like a bomb hit it, and two filthy, fighting children are sitting in front [...]

For those of you still wondering about what life will be like in the resurgent Islamic 7th century, here’s a bit more information, this time out of Saudi Arabia:
A court in the ultra-conservative kingdom of Saudi Arabia is punishing a female victim of gang rape with 200 lashes and six months in jail, a newspaper [...]

A friend of mine who has, over the years, proven remarkably prescient in diagnosing global ills, told me after 9/11 that a significant element in Islam’s rage against the West has to do with women — Islam demands the total subjugation of women, and Islamists view the West as a profound threat to their control [...]

Back in December 2004, I wrote a post over at my old blog site about how difficult life is in the 21st Century for June Cleaver. Since Blogger posts, after a certain period of time, lose all formatting, I’ll reprint it here, in an easy to read format:
I’ve been looking around at friends’ marriages, [...]

Some Saudi women are bravely taking a stand and trying to overturn the prohibition against women drivers in that medieval theocracy:
For the first time ever, a group of women in the only country that bans female drivers have formed a committee to lobby for the right to get in the driver’s seat. They plan to [...]

In the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, a very common expression was that “the rich get richer and the poor get children.” In China, that’s been turned on its head. Not only do the rich (probably) get richer, they also get the children — and their Communist overlords are cracking down:
Rich Chinese [...]

I’m reading Gone With The Wind again, for the first time in about 30 years. I didn’t mean to, but I found a lovely, perfectly clean copy at Goodwill for $1.49 and couldn’t resist buying it (such a bargain). And then, of course, once it was in the house, I kind of opened [...]

In an inspired Wall Street Journal article, Kimberley Strassel points out that Republican candidates, at their peril, are ignoring women, while Democratic candidates, knowing that women voters are the statistical difference for them between success and failure, are wooing them aggressively. This wooing needed go well. Strassel explains that the Democrats are locked in the [...]

In 1996, California voters passed Proposition 209, declaring that they did not want to see racial or gender preferences used in public contracts, employment and education. Turns out that, in a wonderful anti-Democratic display, San Francisco has been ignoring that voter mandate, and the California Supreme Court is now going to decide whether a City [...]

I’m quite heterosexual, but I’ve dreamed for years of having a wife. Turns out I’m not the only one:
Now that women have solidly earned their place in the work force, many find themselves still yearning for something men often have: wives.
“The thing I most want in life is a wife. I’m not kidding,” said [...]
