Because her character has been assassinated, justassassinated by a factually accurate and non-pejorative statement about a controversy she ignited. Poor Ann. These liberals are really out to get her! And the only appropriate response is to completely freak out on camera. You’ve probably already seen the video of Ann Althouse’s incredibly bizarre behavior on her [...]

Prepare for your head to explode (and if you value your sanity, don’t read the comments): Bryan Cave sponsored a “shoe event” in Manhattan recently for its female lawyers and female clients, described in great detail in a WSJ column yesterday.

UPDATE: I’d just like to remind commenters — especially new commenters — that there are many women who read this blog who are sexual assault survivors. Some of these women have been assaulted after drinking, under similar circumstances to the ones presented in the case below. I’m generally pretty lax about comments, but I will [...]

Fewer than one in ten clients comes for abortions, and less than 30% of 860 Planned Parenthood clinics in the U.S. actually provide abortions. In fact Planned Parenthood argues that it prevents nearly 300,000 abortions [...]

At issue is an educational book which teaches girls how to chart their fertility cycle. It isn’t a book promoting “natural family planning” as the only acceptable birth control, and it clearly states that protection should be used during intercourse. But it does teach girls how to track their fertility, and how to know which [...]

Again. Japanese “comfort women” have testified that they were forcibly recruited by the Japanese government to sexually serve soldiers during WWII. Now in their 80s, the women are speaking out and hoping for acknowledgment and apology before they die. This is what they got from Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe: Mr. Abe said, “I express [...]
