In 1991 Naomi Wolf wrote The Beauty Myth where she claimed that women are oppressed by patriarchal pressure to be beautiful. What she failed to tell us is where the beauty-mandate originated, or how it is used to gain and maintain power over men. Peter Wright fills in some of the gaps left by Wolf’s victim narrative.
Western media and feminists portray Iran as a nightmare for women. Look closely, under the veneer of Islamophobic hype courtesy of feminist media, and the bad dream dissolves into one of the most luxurious, indulgent, gynocentric places on the planet.
“Social Justice” is a term that sounds like something no one could object to, sort of like “Women’s Rights.” You can hide almost any agenda you want under nice-sounding words.

The number of women participating in the Indian workforce has dropped significantly as the country progresses economically. Burt Phoenix provides an overview of the trend and asks what might be the factors driving women’s lowered participation in the workforce?

That we live in a gynocentric culture is not rationally disputable to anyone who looks around with open eyes. Many thinkers believe this elevation of women, and the rampant male disposability that goes with it, has been central to the human race for millions of years. But does history bear that interpretation up?
