Feminism is about equality or feminism is about equal rights is a common motte used by feminists. I’ve already shown how that is not true and shown the ideological reasons feminists like to push this bit of drivel, so go read that if that’s what your looking for.

Today I read this (h/t: BitterBabe) and this one quote really stood out: Commentators said yesterday that pressures on women to work and pay mortgages mean that many do not have the same choice over having families that their mothers did. I’ve discussed feminism and choice before, and I’ve discussed how feminists are in opposition […]
TC linked to this article in the Atlantic on feminism and homemakers by Wurtzel. While the original article has its inaccuracies and slip-shod thinking, it is absolutely correct in its main point: Let’s please be serious grown-ups: real feminists don’t depend on men. Real feminists earn a living, have money and means of their own. […]

This is important, but only half the story; feminism also works against the interest of the majority of women as well. In essence, radical feminism* is a coterie of […]

Someone posted on twitter, asking why kids became […]

SSC has written on cost disease. Essentially, a lot of important goods and services (health care, education, infrastructure, and housing) have increased by up to 10x their cost with no improvements in service for no discernible reason. He gave some though to it, and a number of others provided explanations. The explanation that immediately sticks […]
