Am I wrong in saying this but isn't domestic violence more common for women to be violent than men? There is a study, Differences in Frequency of Violence and Reported Injury Between Relationships With Reciprocal and Nonreciprocal Intimate Partner Violence , based on "11370 respondents on 18761 het...

Talking of SJWs and their lies, here's Entertainment Weekly on the Sad Puppies campaign last Monday (via archive.today : http://s3.postimg.org/g7b4g4o2b/sadpuppies1.jpg They have at least had the decency to post a correction once everybody pointed out it was bullshit: http://s1.postimg.org/vmkrwut8v...

Sally Strange doesnâ€™t understand Huntâ€™s argument. Itâ€™s basically â€œbitches be lying.â€ After all for slymepitters like Hunt, only real people donâ€™t lie and women arenâ€™t real people.

On the subject of sexism, I went for a wander at lunchtime and passed Waterstones, the bookshop. They had a sign outside advertising their cafe as a "husband creche", where if you're fed up with him you can leave him to amuse himself. I wonder if, say, a DIY shop were to advertise its cafe as a "wif...

A few responses to "Steph"'s laundry list. â€¢Have you ever had to schedule your walk to the store or morning run because you are worried about the possibility of getting raped?

This is good. Since legislation to force golf clubs to admit women members on equal terms to men, 150,000 women have left the Ladies' Golf Union. Why?

All of these analysis articles start with the same premise, though. That sexual assault on campus is a 'big problem', a vague assertion. I'm wary of this precisely because it has the same origins as so many FC5 myths; it's a thing because they keep saying it's a thing. "Rape culture" is a deliberat...

Rap is generally considered a form of music, albeit a peculiar one which straddles the line between poetry and song. A line that has been straddled by poets and singers more or less since the beginning of both poetry and music. Is this a song or a poem? I don't care, it's brilliant either way: [you...

Don't give much of a shit about Carrier, but I will say one thing about polyamory. We all know some people get laid more than others. It's Darwinism in action.

Democracy is, as Winston Churchill is supposed to have said, the worst form of government other than everything else that's ever been tried.
