In 1971, feminists sang “I am woman, hear me roar/In numbers too big to ignore!” In 2012, feminists are driven to tears over Internet articles. Reading popular feminist watering holes like Shakesville or Feministe is enough to convince anyone that “hysteria” should be brought back as a medical diagnosis. Think I’m kidding? Here’s a case example. A while ago, [...]

It was roughly a year ago that the SlutWalks took the world by storm. Never again will we blame victims for getting raped! Take that, patriarchs! For those of you who missed this momentous occasion, a refresher. The SlutWalks began when a Toronto policeman remarked that “women should avoid dressing like sluts” if they didn’t [...]

I’ve always hated introducing myself, because I always come off as a self-important windbag. So I’ll keep this short. My name is Matt Forney, and my life sucks. I could go through the various ways in which it sucks, but I’m not here to plead for sympathy. I’m here to change myself. In less than [...]
