Just finished reading Camille Perri’s The Assistants — highly recommended! It’s Nine to Five updated and with a great moral element; better than any nonfiction book about the income inequity between the top 1% and the rest of us … With attitude, to boot! “Robert had tie-clips that cost as much as those [student loan] …

On gender identity and changing your sex
Let’s say we are born with a gender identity. Either
(1) it isn’t a binary, in which case there’s no need to change your sex to attain some sort of ‘fit’
(2) it is binary, but it doesn’t necessarily or always align with sex, in which case again there’s no need to change your sex, …

“And I’ve had enough.” Speech by Sarah Field
“If you cannot define women, then you cannot defend them.”
“Its purpose [meeting of Leeds City Council] was not to tell Trans people what is best for them, but to tell politicians and lawmakers what is best for women.”
“And I’ve had enough.”
“So to be clear: men in this city can access a woman’s changing facility, …

Misogyny: a clear case of projection
Misogyny is a simple and clear case of psychological projection, a defence mechanism whereby one denies the existence of a quality in oneself and instead attributes it to the other—’it’s not me, it’s you’. Men hate that they want us, that their thought, their behavior, is so overwhelmingly and relentlessly occupied with wanting us. Instead …

Transsexualism is a problem only because sexism is a problem
Transsexualism is a problem only because sexism is a problem. (Transgenderism is no problem at all: females have been wearing pants and so on for ages, and there’s nothing preventing males from wearing dresses and so on.)
If being female didn’t put people at greater risk of sexual assault from males, it wouldn’t matter whether …

All those famous paintings …
guest post by Jass Richards
So when I was in the Louvre, a long time ago, looking at all those famous paintings, I was struck by how few of the women were able to keep their clothes on. From peasants to goddesses, every one of them was sporting not just an off-the-shoulder look, but a …

On Advertising
Advertising has gained such phenomenal power, it’s now allowed pretty much everywhere. And because it’s allowed pretty much everywhere, it has gained phenomenal power.

One way to deal with it (sexism) (in science this time)
“When I go to a venture-capital group of only men,” Nacy said, “I do most of the speaking, and my chief business officer and I watch faces. If they’re incredulous about something I’ve said, he’ll repeat the same thing—and then it’ll be just fine.”

Trying to figure out people’s actions or thinking — banned on Reddit? WTF.
So in addition to all the radfem censorship on reddit …
I posted the following on the AskMen subreddit:
Why do men rape?
That’s my question. Seriously. Why do men rape? I just wrote a novel answering that question, Impact, but I’d like to hear from men. (And perhaps should’ve posted here BEFORE I wrote …

Hunting – only men
It’s hunting season again — moose for a week, then deer for two weeks — and I have yet to hear an acceptable justification.
The animals are having enough trouble surviving because of what we’ve done, and what we’re still doing, to the forests. And now you want to just go out and kill them.
