Adulthood Continues to be Redefined

Thumbnail image for Adulthood Continues to be Redefined

There was a piece in The New York Times this weekend that once again heralds the life of the pre-adult man. Titled “A Confederacy of Bachelors,” the article follows four men who are nearing their 40th birthday, yet still live together in the ultimate man-cave nicknamed “Fortress Astoria.” The article accurately captures the pre-adult described [...]

Last week I was privileged to speak with The Flipside of Feminism: What Conservative Women Know and Men Can’t Say co-author Suzanne Venker. Chatting with her was equally enjoyable as reading her ground-breaking book. Q: What kind of reception have you received in the last year? Have you gotten a lot of push-back from feminists? [...]

In the final chapter of The Flipside of Feminism: What Conservative Women Know and Men Can’t Say, Suzanne Venker and Phyllis Schlafly unfold a three-step radical feminist recovery program. The feminist revolution was so successful that its principles are now part of our collective psychology and are prevalent in most women’s decisions. This needs to [...]

The Cultural Dependence of Independent Women

Thumbnail image for The Cultural Dependence of Independent Women

Just how dependent is our culture on gentlemen? The economy has been pretty rough on new graduates. The Census Bureau found that in Philadelphia roughly half of all young adults in the city are unemployed. But 30% of the unemployed men stopped looking for jobs even before the financial crisis. This trend can be seen [...]

Chapter 7: The Expendable Male

In the span of just a few decades, American women have managed to demote men from respected providers and protectors to being unnecessary, irrelevant, and expendable. Thus begins Chapter 7 of The Flipside of Feminism – an indictment of women on the left and our culture’s marginalization of men. From negative images in the media, [...]

Chapter 6: Believing Lies

Our society is so inculcated by feminist lies that even conservatives unknowingly accede to them. Mrs. Venker and Schlafly reveal three feminist fallacies in Chapter 6 of The Flipside of Feminism. #1 – No matter how good it is, day care is not healthful for young children. Award-winning psychiatrist John Bowlby is quoted in the [...]

Chapter 5: When Mothers Work

There’s an old adage that says “When mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.” Chapter 5 of The Flip Side of Feminism shows that this is more true than modern women would like to admit, thanks to the feminist lies regarding young children and a mother’s responsibility to care for them. Mrs. Venker and Schlafly begin [...]

Ladies, if you read no other chapter in this book, read this one. Mrs. Venker and Schlafly offer such a wealth of solid and accurate advice that you’ll want to re-read the chapter again and again and share it with your girlfriends.

Chapter 3: Hooking Up is Hard to Do

Thumbnail image for Chapter 3: Hooking Up is Hard to Do

Thanks to Neil Sedaka and his 1962 Billboard No. 1 song, everyone knows that “Breaking Up is Hard to Do.” What they don’t seem to know is that hooking-up is even harder, intuitive though it seems. Sadly, millions of parents failed to teach their children the truth about promiscuous sex, either because they wanted to be [...]

Chapter Two: Feminism…What Bunk!

Thumbnail image for Chapter Two: Feminism…What Bunk!

Chapter Two of “The Flipside of Feminism” does some heavy lifting. It reveals Betty Friedan’s Marxist politics and insatiable craving for validation, recounts the decade long political war over the Equal Rights Amendment, and exposes feminism’s fraudulent claims that real women simultaneously pursue demanding careers and raise their kids. It was refreshing to hear authors with [...]

Chapter 1: The World, The Flesh, and Feminists

Thumbnail image for Chapter 1: The World, The Flesh, and Feminists

There’s nothing better than getting straight to the point. Mrs. Venker and Mrs. Schlafly do just that in Chapter 1 of The Flipside of Feminism: What Conservative Women Know – and Men Can’t Say. First they debunk the myth of women’s  “progress,” accurately noting that the term is undefined, ambiguous, and “entirely subjective.” Feminists have [...]
