By Jonathon Van Maren Feminism rebelled against reality. Transgenderism seeks to abolish it entirely. But the feminists and the gender ideologues are beginning to realize that their worldviews don’t line up very nicely. It seems as if our culture doesn’t quite understand just how radical the transgender fad actually is—or how genuinely insulting it is…
By Jonathon Van Maren I was very pleased to see that GQ Magazine has joined the growing number of secular publications that are beginning the painful process of examining our out-of-control cultural obsession with pornography, recently publishing an article entitled 10 Reasons You Should Quit Watching Porn.

By Jonathon Van Maren Since the explosive rise of the transgender movement, feminists have discovered that intersectionality means that there is no such thing, technically speaking, as a “woman”—at least, not one that can be defined in any objective terms.

And some are being taken overseas to have the dangerous procedure done — an illegal act known as “vacation cutting.” Officials from the federal government’s Global…

In fact, one researcher found that the more young men…
By Jonathon Van Maren Just in case anyone was wondering how out of touch our ruling elites are, consider this cute little story: Status of Women Minister Patricia Hajdu has just indicated it is open to funding women’s advocacy groups from a diversity of perspectives—as long as they are all pro-abortion.

By Jonathon Van Maren 2015 marked two important cultural moments: We legally abolished reality and feminism—or what it once was—died. Sceptical? Here are the news stories that prove it.
