Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
One hears a lot lately about so-called “incels,” which I understand stands for “involuntary celibate.” Indeed, Jordan Peterson is castigated by the left as the king of evil incels, when he really is a man who provides them with a way out of their social, isolation, anger, and depression. I

The left’s effort to get men into women’s clothes (à la Harry Styles) is not just about gender; it’s also about stifling male maturity. Long ago, I had a friend who inadvertently married a heterosexual cross-dresser. She also found she’d married a man who couldn’t hold down a job, preferred

Culture warrior Mark Tapson challenges the Left’s claim that male chromosomes create toxic masculinity — and offers an antidote to this misandrist view. The Speaker’s group that I co-chair hosted a wonderful speaker today: Mark Tapson. If that name sounds familiar to you, it’s because you’ve seen his writing on

Understanding the Men’s Rights Movement hints that feminism’s war on men is a class-based issue tied to the relative safety of a middle-class man’s life. I have been watching a fascinating documentary called The Red Pill. The filmmaker is Cassie Jaye, a young woman whose previous documentaries were Progressive in

Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin succinctly diagnoses the ills other than guns that lie behind school shootings — and I add two more problems bedeviling boys. My thanks to lyn5 for making me aware of the way in which Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin responded to a question asking him how he

The Left is using Hollywood sex scandals to paint all men as complicit, with the hope that guilt-ridden men remorsefully embrace Progressive ideology. When the sex scandals first came out of Hollywood, I have to admit to wallowing in schadenfreude. After years of seeing Hollywood’s premier Leftists use their unbelievably
Continue readingThere’s nothing wrong with acknowledging that even the best raised men have a natural predatory streak — and that women’s intentional conduct affects it. I did not do the whole “me, too” thing. Aside from distrusting the reach of anything that originates on the Left (it will be used as

The past two months have proven that toxic masculinity is the Progressives’ purview, while real American men still get the job done no matter the risk. In the late 1960s, the appropriate term of art for men who hadn’t seen the light was “male chauvinist pig.” Feminists applied this moniker to

Since I left for my trip, there’s been a big to-do about the fact that David Bonderman, at an Uber board meeting, made a slightly stale, 1950s-esque joke about women: “There’s a lot of data,” Ms. Huffington said, “that shows when there’s one woman on the board it’s much more

Yesterday, I read (out loud) the worst “rebuttal to a speech” ever. Today, I read something less amusing, but also important: It’s a disturbing parenting article that places a serious emotional burden on boys — the same boys who today live in an anti-male society. A little background: One of

Continue readingIn America, it used to be that boys were boys and girls were girls, except for a handful of boys and girls who didn’t conform to the norm. Boys were at the top of the heap; girls had a carefully carved out, limited sphere of influence and opportunities; and sexually
Continue readingPeter Beinart is in agony, because he’s a terrible father. Why is he such a terrible father? Because he allows his son to watch pro football with him. By doing so, says Beinart, he lends his imprimatur to something that’s really no different from a Roman gladiator contest, with the
