The Metamorphosis of Emily Post

    AT Tradition in Action, Marian Horvat examines the life and influence of Emily Post, the famous etiquette writer.  Mrs. Post, she says, went through a gradual transformation over the course of her life and ultimately embraced many of the abuses she once condemned. Ms. Horvat writes: Emily Post’s central commandment was to always put others at [...]

Childless Shanghai

  JESSE POWELL writes: Here’s a shocking statistic from the Economist magazine. From the article, “China’s Achille’s Heel“:  “Over the past 30 years, China’s total fertility rate—the number of children a woman can expect to have during her lifetime—has fallen from 2.6, well above the rate needed to hold a population steady, to 1.56, well below that [...]

The Life of Julia

  THE OBAMA administration’s womanly ideal is a female eunuch who has one child (just like women in China!!!) after years of student debt and lots of carcinogenic contraceptives provided free by Uncle Obama. She has no husband, but that’s okay. She starts her own business and volunteers in a community garden. Dana Loesch at Breitbart.com has the full story.

The Philosophical Roots of a World of Sweatshirts and Jeans

  IN A letter to the editor at The New Oxford Review, the Rev. Kenneth Baker writes: Radical informality is an assault on form. Form in our culture has taken a big hit since the 17th century. Jay Richards, in his book God and Evolution, points out that Des­cartes identified quantity with essence and thereby eliminated form. [...]

Government: Hurray, More Girls on Steroids!

  A NEW CDC study shows that sexual activity among teenage girls continues to decline from its high in the mid-1990′s. It also shows an increase in the use of the Pill among teenagers. According to the Associated Press: More teen girls now use the best kinds of birth control, a new government study says. About 60 percent of teen girls who [...]

Attacks by Homofascists You’ll Never See in the News

  HETEROSEPARATIST.COM features a video made by Tradition, Family and Property of its volunteers who, while picketing against the redefinition of marriage, were threatened, pepper-sprayed, punched, cursed, assaulted with beer bottles and spat upon. Their literature was stolen and burned. As you’ll notice, all of the attackers are white, mostly between the ages of 18 and 30. As a commenter below [...]

Nuns Twirl Toward Evolutionary Bliss

THE Leadership Conference of Women Religious, the largest organization of American nuns, was recently censured by the Vatican for its feminist, leftwing ideology. LCWR will be holding its annual national assembly this August. The theme is, “Mystery Unfolding: Leading in the Evolutionary Now.” Judging from the event logo, above, the “evolutionary now” is a global, multiracial, panreligious era of One World Bliss. Notice the [...]

Canadian Columnist Likes New Ideas

  ANN DOUGLAS, columnist for the Toronto Star and author of books on baby care and motherhood, recently interviewed a sex education expert who advised broadening teen education to include lessons on what sexual moaning sounds like, how to tell if a drunk girl really consents, and the sexist stereotypes in pornography. Douglas was interested and approving of Cory Silverberg’s ideas. “Teenagers need to know what pleasure [...]

Photos of French Decline

  TIBERGE of Galliawatch writes: Elizabeth Badinter, like Simone Veil, has consistently closed her eyes to the reality of the destruction of the French family and the slow steady takeover of the country by Islam. Both women, being Jewish, have aroused no small amount of resentment among traditional Catholics. Robert Badinter, her husband, was responsible [...]

A Messy Blog

  SHEFALI writes: I hope this mail finds you in good health. I have been devouring your writing uninterrupted but have run into a snag. Many of your older, fine posts don’t show up in the labels they should. Or even on search engines when the keywords are typed.

Should a Childless Woman Work?

  MARIANNE writes: I don’t know if you care to address this question, but here it is: what about those of us who are married, but do not have any children, and will not be having any children in the future (not by choice)? What is our role as women, and as wives? Should we [...]

Foie Gras for Adults; Canned Junk for Infants

  MARY writes: I find it odd that a woman like Elizabeth Badinter, who hails from a country as proud of their traditions of food and wine and meal-taking as the French are, would have a problem with breastfeeding. Breastfeeding and social meal-taking are some of the lovely, natural goods of life that rejuvenate and sustain [...]

The Deceptions of Elizabeth Badinter

  IN HER book, The Conflict: How Modern Motherhood Undermines the Status of Women, Elizabeth Badinter is guilty of outright distortion on a number of issues. Foremost among these is the issue of the French fertility rate. Badinter makes much of the fact that the fertility of French women is higher than that of other European women (even [...]

The Milking Machine

.   THE outrage of breastfeeding, in the mind of a feminist, is that it is something men can never do. It is inescapably feminine, an activity that resists the 50/50 division of child-rearing that is so much a feminist fantasy. In her book, Elizabeth Badinter, the French intellectual, insists it is wrong to hold up [...]
