Social Science in 60 Seconds
Anyone who quotes Simone De Beauvoir as a serious expert on anything but solipsism ought to be laughed at. Sparky Fister is up to the task!
Feminism
Are Men Obsolete? Karen Straughan at Ryerson University
Karen Straughan’s address at Ryerson University will undoubtedly go down in history as a watershed moment. We have previously shown raw footage of the event, we now present a version more cleaned up for sound and video, provided by Sandman.
Sentimental feminism vs. political feminism
Bax was the first to describe the twin monsters he called ‘Sentimental Feminism’ and ‘Political Feminism’, a distinction having striking similarities to Naomi Wolf’s ‘Victim Feminism’ and ‘Power Feminism’ (coined 80 years after Bax).
