For the last few years campus progressives, most notably at Hofstra University, have been trying to erase Thomas Jefferson from the public square. Now 2020 Democratic hopeful Pete Buttigieg has joined the effort.

Secret Socioeconomic ‘Adversity Score’ Being Assigned to SAT Test Takers — Disclosed Only To Colleges

Posted by Mike LaChance on May 18, 2019 26 Comments

The College Board is trying to make the SAT more 'fair' for everyone by taking social and economic factors into account. This is really just the latest attempt to institutionalize the concept of social justice into higher education. But this process is pernicious -- the students who are assigned a socioeconomic score won't know how they score, so they may be penalized in college admissions without knowing it. It's like being on Double Secret Probation (ref. Animal House).

No, There Is No Empowerment To Be Found in Period Blood Displays

Posted by Katya Sedgwick on March 06, 2019 44 Comments

Gross! A 26-year-old California sex coach who goes by Demetra Nyx splattered pictures of herself smeared with menstrual blood all over Instagram to celebrate her "beautiful and powerful" periods. She said:

I used to spend my time worrying about what other people thought of me… And yet. It turns out none of that was ever necessary. I don’t do anything I do now for anyone’s approval…

Why Green Book Deserved Its 2019 Best Picture Win

Posted by Tyler Hummel on March 03, 2019 18 Comments

If you had asked me a week before the Oscars ceremony who was likely to walk away with the Best Picture award for 2018 film releases, I would've given you two answers: Black Panther or Blackkklansman. In the age of #OscarsSoWhite, where progressive politics rule over Hollywood like the Eye of Sauron, it seemed a safe bet to put money on the films that embrace that which the social justice left deems most valuable. Thus came the surprise when, of all the films that talked about racial issues in 2018, the Best Picture Winner of 2019 turned out to be Green Book, a smaller film produced by a white director that the progressive left largely disregarded as retro.

The Social Justice Warrior Women Behind Gillette’s Men-Shaming Ad

Posted by Kemberlee Kaye on January 16, 2019 57 Comments

Monday, I blogged about Gillette's new ad which used the 30 year birthday of their slogan “the best a man can get” to shame all decent men for the actions of sleaze bags. The ad campaign is premised on men not being "at their best" and having loads of work to do to satisfy the toxic feminism that's weaseled its way into the current culture.
