Pseudo-intellectual claptrap is a mainstay of trans-activism, so it comes as no surprise that when it claims 'radical feminists are gender essentialist' and 'radical feminists push an agenda that reifies relatively arbitrary definitions of man and woman', the most effective response would involve reading some radical feminist theory and looking up the word 'reify' in a dictionary.  This is

Super Mario Bros, the game that needs no introduction, once had a story-line.  And I'm not talking about 'leap over holes, defeat the guardian and rescue Princess McGuffin from herself again'.  This can be deduced in its entirety from context.  No, I'm talking about a backstory.  The Mushroom Kingdom.  Evil sorcerer King Koopa invades without warning or provocation, and turns the kingdom's loyal

Though 2010 is rapidly proving to be the year of new communication technologies, it might yet become the year of the tech writer.  Trapped by a responsibility they never asked for, tasked with the apparently impossible duty of presenting common knowledge as news, events this year risked turning them into the industry's whipping boys. Until they decided to take a stand. A stand that took the form

Allow me to spin a tale.My girlfriend and I have had a rough time of it.  Or, should I say, we 'once had' a rough time of it.  I'll put it bluntly - we only ever had one conversation.  She (or I) would arrive home, we would greet one-another, I'd comment on the weather, bring up the state of party politics in this country, ask how work had been. She'd then ask if I'd made plans for dinner, I'd

'Jo22' over at I Can't Fly has decided, bless her, to rattle off a few of the standard stats about women in prostitution. Like arguments against intelligent design, these things just keep coming back no matter how many times they're dismissed. It's about time somebody bore their brunt, and it's a brunt I can bear to put up with. You might even say it's a... brunt I can stand to bear. Rather

The world has been driving me into a humourless rage of late. Having to study my way through 'The Case for Israel' and 'The Case for Peace', 'Why Terrorism Works' has sort of broken my boyish spirit.

Within the Hobbesian 'state of nature', there is a certain abhorrence of academic fairness. Those theoreticians and political scientists who are more intelligent, unbound by self-interest, and better able to make arguments that stand successfully against the arbitrary power-base of their opponents, would simply dominate those whose conceptions of how a society should function were premised on

Two days ago, dear readers, I went along with some friends to one of Sheila Jeffreys' lectures on the 'construction of sexuality', or some-such feminist essentialism, and I want you to trust me when I say that pretty much everything she said was just plain beyond ridiculous. One thing's for sure, though: when I present her with my devastating counter- arguments, she will have no choice but to

Why all this argument? It seems like for months now, the feminist blogosphere has been completely dominated by infighting. Instead of focusing on whatever they happen to think the important issues might be, feminist writers have been wasting their time debating one-another about which of their goals is actually helpful to women, and which perpetuate and apologise for serious harms against

Ever since my girlfriend dumped me for being, in her words, a 'fucking idiot', I've had an interest in the plight of women. After devouring all the proto-feminist, second and third-wave literature at my local library, my interest was fully piqued. At the time, my major wouldn't allow me to take any subjects in women's studies, but as soon as some spare credits opened up, I shelved my interest
