We discuss the murder of Charlie Kirk, how transgender rights activism was a primary motivation of his killer, why the dehumanisation of political opponents has become the domain the political left operates from, and how subsequently it means Trump's decision to classify Antifa as a terrorist organisation is downstream of that. Plus, Robert Nozick's thought experiment 'The Experience Machine' becoming a real life test, Stella O’Malley’s excellent recent Spiked article, mass cultural infantili...
The last fortnight has seen the failure of the high-profile trial of rapper P Diddy for sex trafficking and the Epstein files not released after months of promise they would be by the Trump administration. Could the American elites really be willing to embarrass themselves to this degree without incentive? We try to think of the best explanation for why Trump won’t release the Epstein files and how P Diddy has likely got away with sex crimes. We also discuss Obama's reported bisexuality, Mac ...
Jordan Peterson appears of late to be a shadow of the man he once was, specifically in relation to the masculine strongman who took on C16 in Canada during the late 2010s. Peterson is in an odd position as a conservative figure, yet blatantly a radical subjectivist, leading him into the peculiar stance of being a postmodern anti-postmodernist. We discuss his bouts of crying on TV, how Peterson is an odd fit with the Daily Wire, the tendency of claiming feminist talking points after we've been...
1We discuss the Darlington nurses' fight to secure a female-only changing room at work and how their hospital is refusing to implement it, despite the Supreme Court victory and supportive intervention by Minister for Health, Wes Streeting. Plus, the suffragettes, gay male culture, the ‘transman’ on I Kissed a Boy, how people are more likely to befriend those similar to them, why Education and Health sectors are manager top heavy, the atmosphere of dishonesty in intensely bureaucratic working e...
'Political Lesbianism' shares some characteristics with Butlerian Queer Theory, specifically: divorcing biological sex from sexual orientation, performativity, and asexuality and 'fluidity'. We discuss those and in particular 'political lesbians' criticism of butch / femme relationships that rely on the logic of transgenderism. We put forward that, would we consider a group of heterosexual men who decide not to be with women, who consider that women oppress them, deciding to live togeth...
'Political lesbianism' can be traced back to heterosexual feminists of the 1960s second-wave in the United States. We discus its origin, the way 'political lesbians' change the definition of lesbian to fit themselves, the parallels with transgenderism, the nonsense concept of 'compulsory heterosexuality', denial of sexual orientation, and why due to its unpopularity a raft of euphemisms (such as 'lesbian feminist') are used instead of the term 'political lesbian' to disguise its proponents. P...
Since the UK Supreme Court ruling clarifying the definition of woman in the Equality Act, trans activists have decided 'transmen' now matter and are using this tiny cohort of women to claim sex-based public toilet arrangements cannot work due to them as a 'gotcha' against the ruling. We discuss the features of the 'gotcha' and how each one fails. We also discuss the superficiality of transgenderism, how photos or TikTok’s don’t mean someone 'passes' in real life, Gendered Intelligence’s lies ...
Yesterday, For Women Scotland won a momentous victory at the UK's Supreme Court, where it was clarified that 'sex' within the Equality Act refers to biological sex. We discuss why men are so psychosexually unhinged about the outcome, as seen by the dismay and disbelief at a victory secured by middle-aged women, their subsequent crashing out online, and the fermenting of conspiracy theories relating the Gender Critical movement to the American evangelical rightwing because they cannot believe ...
We discuss the new criminal and civil accusations levelled at former comedian Russell Brand, and social media influencer and pimp, Andrew Tate. Themes include: how globalisation means rapists can avoid state accountability, Brand’s artful dodger act turned Messiah-like guru, how camp is a performance designed to disarm, why women with financial independence are hated, and whether we think Tate and Brand will get away with their crimes.
State plans for online censorship are a form of DARVO. The same liberals who promoted transgenderism, and have not given two hoots about pornography, are now telling us they care about online misogyny. The BBC as the state's mouthpiece has harboured more child abusers than the average prison wing, but we are to believe these people want what's best for children and young people on the internet? The idea the MSM, police, and government will wield censorious powers in a benign and benevolent wa...
We review heralded new Netflix show Adolescence and give our criticisms about its depiction of the cause of male violence against women being, primarily, that boys aren’t loved and supported enough by men. Referencing Victoria Smith’s book ‘Unkind’, we reflect on the myth that violent men are misunderstood men who have not received enough kindness. Why was it such a sympathetic portrayal of a murderous boy? And where are the equivalents for crimes committed overwhelmingly by women, such...
Sections of the UK radical-liberal Left are doing somewhat of a u-turn on woke identity politics. Why now? We discuss the total unwillingness of the Left to acknowledge feminist arguments, woke scolds unwavering loyalty to pretending men are women, and the continued ham-fisted burial of the UK Left by their own hand (with some GC exceptions). We ask how anyone interested in politics could have been willing to promote mind-numbing woke discourse for so long? Why did it take such a scale of def...
The Tate brothers have fled Romanian for the United States, leaving their combined half a dozen daughters behind, and avoiding their pending trial for rape, assault, and sex trafficking minors. Their case exemplifies the phrase 'justice delayed is justice denied'. Will they now reinvent themselves away from being pornographers, pimps, and professional criminals? Plus, the Tates status of persona non-grata in the American conservative movement, why the Romanian state has effectively let them g...
We review Victoria Smith's new book '(Un)kind: How 'Be Kind' Entrenches Sexism'. We discuss the overarching expectation on women to “be kind” and its implications, such as making space for men in women's spaces, disagreeing with men a cardinal sin, and women as virtuous only if endlessly forgiving. Other themes of the book discussed are the concept of "himpathy”, women’s kindness as transformative for men, women's kindness when tied to sexual access, and how the "be kind" mantra helps to secu...
Belle Gibson is an Australian woman who faked surviving several bouts of terminal cancer, and has become the subject of a Netflix dramatisation of those events, entitled Apple Cider Vinegar. Gibson became famous for her nutrition app The Whole Pantry, after claiming to have cured her cancer through healthy eating. We discuss what makes people fake having cancer, the understanding between illness and morality, and New Age lifestyle moralism as a kind of feminine personal policing. Plus, how ca...
In this pop culture episode we discuss reality TV star and social media influencer turned multimillionaire businesswoman Mollie-Mae, as an 'everywoman' archetype. That leads to a discussion about class-based differences in beauty standards, the modern norms of breakup culture, and co-parenting arrangements. Plus, the difficulty of committed romantic relationships across cultural divides despite globalisation making it more possible than ever, insights from couples therapist Esther Perel, and ...
We discuss the cycle of women being put on psychiatric drugs over the last seventy years, typically a trend of SSRIs and then switching to stimulants, and its relationship to femininity. The internet has caused many women to self-diagnose due feeling there is something wrong with them and then seek out the diagnosis. Many women, against all observable evidence, feel inadequate and that their must be something wrong with them if feel unable to keep up with the demands of motherhood or the incr...
In advance of Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20th companies such as Meta, Walmart, McDonalds, and others, have announced the scrapping of their DEI policies. We discuss that political shift and also lasts weeks criticism of the LA Fire Departments DEI policies that led to the circulation of some inadvertently comical clips of fire fighters espousing the need to 'look like' the people you're saving. We also wonder whether Mark Zuckerberg’s metamorphosis into a jujitsu ‘bro’ and change ...
Since the start of 2025 the presence of Pakistani 'grooming gangs' operating across the United Kingdom has dominated online discourse and parliamentary debate. We discuss the nature of these 'gangs', provide a cultural analysis of why they existed, and consider the scale of the political cover-up by the Labour Party, police, and local authorities. Plus, the key divide in feminism on the issue, the Left’s sentiment that they own feminism because their project is a claim to liberating all human...
Dr. Ally Louks, a scholar at Cambridge University, created a frenzy online after posing for a selfie with her PhD thesis entitled 'Olfactory Ethics: The Politics of Smell in Modern and Contemporary Prose’. Her tweet went viral, with over 120 million views to date. We discuss the backlash and why we think her English Literature PhD caused such a furore. Including... anti-intellectualism, envy, knowledge as something possession of a particular sex, the crisis in the American academy, and ...

and according to the type of people you're talking about me just saying that as a white woman proves that I'm a racist forever no matter what I do despite having a black child but whatever
and obviously when they say that it's the same as trans women are women, it's a mantra and it essentially is a vicious mantra, if crying to Garner sympathy when one is somehow in trouble, is a woman characteristic then it applies to women of all colors sorry
frankly I'm disappointed to hear you talk about white women's tears as if it's a thing, there are a lot of kinds of white women, and I understand that you're going to naturally associate this somehow with class but I don't know any white women that cry around me I mean and I would know a lot of them
no tattoos until 25?? 😂😂😂 y'all crazy
yikes, right away this is trash
