The response in the West to the Hamas terror attack and kidnapping of Israeli citizens is worth analyzing. Major Western institutions lent their support to the cause of “Free Palestine” and the like. It seems a bit off target to me, as better messaging would focus on Hamas freeing

Dead Wild Roses: The DWR Quote of the Day – Bari Weiss on We Should End DEI
Read the entire article on Tablet Magazine. “But “DEI” is not about the words it uses as camouflage. DEI is about arrogating power. And the movement that is gathering all this power does not like America or liberalism. It does not believe that America is a good country—at

The Concierto de Aranjuez was inspired by the gardens at the Royal Palace of Aranjuez, the spring resort palace and gardens built by Philip II in the last half of the 16th century and rebuilt in the middle of the 18th century by Ferdinand VI. The work attempts to transport

“Right, I’ve been doing some reading (and writing) about young women’s experiences in public space, and it’s made me so angry and upset that I have to share a digest with you all. Globally, during adolescence, ‘girls’ worlds shrink, while boys’ expand’. One study finds that the map of 14-yo

Thank you to Eva Kurilova for finding this resolution. There is hope that we can have a return to sanity here in Alberta.

“Alberta’s premier leads a party whose most active members almost unanimously want the province to refuse to house trans women in women’s prisons, and require schools to tell parents if their children want to secretly change their pronouns, as New Brunswick and Saskatchewan have controversially done. United Conservative Party members

Sorry for the incovenience of having to go to youtube to watch the happenings at the Oxford Union. It was quite a raucous affair. Compare and contrast with the lecture at Cambridge where students as opposed to radicals came out and a productive mostly civil debate and conversation resulted. The

Imagine being reported for misconduct for saying that :”If a woman cannot stand in a public place and say ‘men cannot be women’, then we do not have women’s rights at all.”. I cannot believe the college even entertained the thought of sanctioning Kelvin Wright. The woke rot

The evidence for gender affirming care and transitioning is very weak at best.
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Does Transgender Ideology Threaten Liberal Values? –
Trans rights activists have argued that trans people have a right to be recognised as their preferred gender in both the private and public spheres and that the law should protect this right. Gender critical groups, however, claim that efforts to undermine single sex spaces put women’s safety at risk

This is what happens when you abandon the pursuit of knowledge for ‘social justice’. Ideological bullshite leaking from every pore. It is sad to see a popular science magazine flame out and lose all credibility. 🙁 James Esses documents SciAm’s fall from respectability. “When you come across the longstanding magazine,

This just nails what the post modern Left has become. Deplatforming and deliberately not dealing with facts.

“What do we hope will happen? Our recommendation begins by calling upon all major universities to begin a thorough review of these areas of study (gender studies, critical race theory, postcolonial theory, and other “theory”-based fields in the humanities and reaching into the social sciences, especially including sociology and anthropology),
