Anyone who claims female only spaces are a niche issue needs to explain why the full participation of 50% of the population in society is a niche issue.

People who identify as trans have the same human rights as everyone else, what they are after is special privileges which destroy the human rights of others, especially women and girls.
Trans rights are human rights. That’s it. I’m going to speak up for those who don’t feel like they have a voice and don’t have a place at the table — that means everybody. https://t.co/zXaw75AhdI

Even after all this time it still hits me hard sometimes - suddenly, out of the blue - that what's just happened is a few men said they wanted to be women and basically the whole world immediately rolled over and said yes, here's all the women's stuff, take what you want 🤷

Terminating a woman’s gym membership because she objected to a man in the women’s change room only proves that gyms are capable of terminating memberships based on behavior, they just deem a woman having boundaries to be worse than a man ignoring them.

I used to host a party the first Saturday after New Year’s. I called it “you thought the holidays were over! The Christmas tree’s last hurrah, almost epiphany party”
Yes, actually. People always complain about how dreary the post-Christmas season is, but Christmastide ends Jan 6! I’m team Let fall be fall, let Advent be Advent, and then enjoy Christmas into January.

My brother was a knitter … but this boy’s description of knitting is the best ever!
I taught our youngest how to knit today. He's making a scarf for himself. We had 3 boys and 3 girls, and I've now taught them all how. It's good eye coordination, fine motor skills, etc. Our oldest boy called it "a sword fight with strings" when he learned.

The "fuck your feelings" crowd has always been against empathy and compassion. If you have empathy for others, that's how you know you're on the side of good.

Honestly, this might be one of the funniest airport stories ever. A traveler shared how she got pulled aside for a random luggage inspection after a sniffer dog wouldn’t stop pawing at her suitcase. She swore she hadn’t packed anything suspicious, but as the dog kept sniffing,

Crawling isn't innate (unlike walking). Every baby must *invent* crawling, from scratch, using extremely little data, and no reference to imitate. Which is why different babies end up with different ways of crawling. Sometimes people tell me, "you say AI isn't intelligent until

We’ve all read funny book opinions, but this one-star review of The Complete Tales of Beatrix Potter (Peter Rabbit, Squirrel Nutkin, Mrs. Tittlemouse, etc.) had me in stitches.

Psychiatry does incalculable damage convincing people their depression is a disorder, rather than the mind’s well-designed signal that something’s wrong with your life. It’s not just the harms of drugs. It’s also the squandered opportunities for self-discovery and growth.

🚨A magazine aimed at young women has announced a group of men as its ‘Women of the Year’. This is mass gaslighting.

Was the more than 20-fold rise in trans identities since 2010 the result of people finally feeling free to express their authentic selves? Or was it a social contagion? Five years ago, I and others were canceled for suggesting the latter. New evidence shows we were right. Read

I grew up in an era when mainstream women’s magazines told girls they needed to be thinner and prettier. Now mainstream women’s magazines tell girls that men are better women than they are.

This is powerful. 👇 They called him "The Stupid"—and that's exactly what he wanted. When Navy sailor Douglas Hegdahl was captured during the Vietnam War and thrown into the infamous Hanoi Hilton prison camp, he made a decision that would save hundreds of lives. He would play

To all those pastors out there who lean towards describing the biblical framework as being one of “patriarchy”, PLEASE take five minutes to skim through the QTs and comments on the post linked below. I get (and certainly hope) that many of you would find much of it abhorrent.
You know what is God’s actual “main weapon” against porn addiction? His grace which trains us “to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,” (Titus 2:12) Self-control is not a footnote to the Christian
