Men should be more sensitive towards female concerns about inequalities of strength

Our discourse should be a lot more honest and a lot more serious

Accepting your body is a selective exercise for some progressives

To speak on behalf of women is not to speak for or over them

We should expose the emptiness of femininity compared to femaleness

Keir Starmer’s confusion on gender is the result of years of cowardice

Mere transgression is being elevated above genuine insight and creativity

Pseudo-progressives are resurrecting gender stereotypes

Don’t pretend that feminists are being “radical” for no reason

“Gender critical” feminists have represented the best of feminism
