Young women today are unlikable, which is very bad for society
The tragedy of young women in 2022 is that they have been raised to be unpleasant and resentful.

VIDEO: Happy wife, happy life
You don’t need to speak German to figure out what this fun music video is saying, and it’s really about emotional generosity. I like this concept: Happy wife, happy life. Social science (for whatever that’s worth) supports it: When a woman is happily married, her husband’s overall life satisfaction gets

Manchester rape gangs, the Church of England, and marriage
It matters that the Church of England came out in favor of heterosexual marriage, for marriage is a bulwark protecting girls from Islamic sex trafficking. A few days ago, news broke that Manchester had joined the list of British cities in which gangs of Muslim men (mostly from Pakistan) systematically

Is this post-divorce trend unique to blue areas or will you find it elsewhere?
I keep seeing women who married wealthy men during their childbearing years, falling head over heels, post-divorce, for loving, not wealthy men. Because I have a legal project and because the news today does not inspire me, I wanted to direct your attention elsewhere — and get your opinion about

Bookworm Beat 9/26/17 — the Progressives on Parade edition
With Progressives fighting for cultural ascendance, we are entering an ideological Twilight Zone that’s bad for America, but really great for a blogger. Hold onto your hats, my friends, because this is going to be a huge collection of all things interesting, mostly relating to the madness emanating from today’s
Continue readingThoughts on weddings and Disneyland while I get myself back in the game
Sorry for the silence today. We got home from our trip late last night and I’m never at my best the day after a trip, even a short one. The occasion for being out of town was a wedding in the family, followed by a trip to Disneyland. I have
Continue readingThe Bookworm Beat (10/17/14) — aka the Friday fish-wrap edition (and Open Thread)
Before I dive into my round-up, I wanted to discuss with you a poster that a very liberal friend of mine put up on Facebook. It’s the Leftist version of various posters you’ve seen here discussing Leftist logic (e.g., as Dixon Diaz says, “A liberal is someone who lives in
Continue readingConsidering how meaningless marriage has become, I hereby withdraw any opposition I’ve ever had to gay marriage
For an almost 80 year run that ended only in 1972, Playland at the Beach was San Francisco’s Coney Island. Beginning in 1928, and subject to a few minor changes over the decades, Playland settled into the form known to City residents through its final days: it had roller coasters,
Continue readingWhen it comes to same-sex marriage, the Civil Rights Act cannot trump the First Amendment *UPDATED*
I find irritating gay marriage supporters’ reliance on the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to justify their contention that religious individuals cannot opt out of actively participating in gay marriage ceremonies. They contend that the Act mandates that (1) a Christian baker, who welcomes gays seeking all other baked goods,
Continue readingMonday afternoon mish mash
“Monday morning mish mash” would have been more alliterative, but we do what we can. How corrupt is Lois Lerner and the swamp-like federal system from which she emerged? This corrupt. How crazy has the gender obsession at America’s institutions of higher education gotten? This crazy. How horrible was the
Continue readingMorning roundup — and Open Thread
My very strong sense is that the shutdown will reveal how much of our federal government is inessential. I’m not the only one who feels this way. And no wonder, because the shutdown reveals waste everywhere. This shouldn’t be a surprise. Monopolies are invariably poorly managed and unchecked bureaucracies invariably
Continue readingIf you think marriage between a Democrat and a Republican is bad…
NPR reports that mixed marriages don’t work. It’s not talking about mixed race or mixed religion, it’s about mixed politics. Democrats and Republicans make for bad bedfellows. What NPR doesn’t discuss is marriages in which one partner has a mid-marriage political conversion. Believe me when I saw that doing so
Continue readingA nice break from politics, as we look at dating today
Today’s young people don’t date. They hang out. A relationship is lasting if the couple is still together after a week or two. Hook-ups (i.e., casual sex) are normative. Is this a good thing or a bad thing for long-term relationships? Do people know each other better than they did
Continue readingDennis Prager on adultery, character and politics
I happen to think Dennis Prager is right — and I say this as someone who does not have a personal stake in the adultery issue. I’ve known people who committed adultery because they were obnoxious jerks, and people who committed adultery because it was the only way to survive
Continue readingAh, the irony of the good marriage gone bad
As you may recall, after I saw the movie Julie and Julia, I wrote a very scathing post about the movie, arguing that it contained completely unnecessary attacks on Republicans. Long-time blog friend Earl left a thoughtful comment arguing that the movie was redeemed, completely, through its presentation of marriage:
