Someone mentioned Beowulf the other day. Like many contemporary windbags I felt I had the authority to comment on it, but I quickly realized I could not recall a single element of the story. I “read” Seamus Heaney's translation of Beowulf in university, and my Irish dad had always proudly raved that it took an Irishman to translate the most important piece of Old English literature in history, but I was ashamed to admit I couldn't remember a thing about it. However, for some reason I knew the ins and outs of how extraordinarily sexist it was, thanks to my feminist Read More

I am now in my mid 40s and life is increasingly better due to the fact that I am self-employed, single, and free to practice the “game” of pick-up and the art of seducing women. I disengaged from corporate mass-media a couple of years ago due to the onslaught of attacks received by commentators when I posted comments on the Huffington Post.

In 1940, the Germans burst into France, overwhelming the defenses of that proud but demoralized nation in a scant six weeks.

Pando's campaign came to a head recently after Uber's Emil Michael revealed that the company was planning to fund investigations into Lacy and other SJW journalists known for leading harassment campaigns: According to BuzzFeed News, Uber's Emil Michael was at a dinner in New York on Nov. 14 Read More

On All Hallows' Eve 2014, the hit television series, The Big Bang Theory, aired an episode in which two characters debated about sex and science. A magazine wanted to include Bernadette, a microbiologist, in a profile of “the fifty sexiest female scientists in California.” Amy, a neuroscientist, said, “I think it's awful,” adding, “Bernadette…should be celebrated for her achievements, not her looks.” Bernadette countered, “Why can't someone be thought of as both smart and pretty?”, echoing the words of real-life science communicator Cara Santa Maria, who wished that one day girls could avoid “Sophia's” choice and be able to say, “I'm Read More
