Articles & CommentaryLeft Attacks Conservative Female CalendarJessica Cantelon | 2008.12.08 | Human Events Not content with having won the White House and expanded its majorities in the House and Senate, the Left is now training its vitriol on ... a calendar. No joke. The same tolerance-worshiping Obama supporters who demanded change and got it are now suffering brain aneurisms from the mere existence of calendar celebrating (gasp!) conservative women. What Girls Want: An Edward Cullen to Love ThemMiriam Grossman, MD | 2008.12.08 | Townhall.com American girls have a new heartthrob: a tall, gorgeous vampire who is in the eleventh grade. He thirsts for the blood of Bella, his human girlfriend, but learns to “just say no.” What is it about Edward Cullen, the male protagonist of the blockbuster Twilight series, that sends girls from Atlanta to Anchorage swooning? I asked three teen girls I know. Nava is 14. “He’s cute, and he’s really nice to Bella.” Kayla is 16. “He’s caring, and genuine. He expresses his love, and risks his life to protect her. And he’s handsome.” Tanya is 19. “Edward loves Bella and wants to be with her forever, so he controls himself. The self-discipline is very hard on him, but seeing her hurt would be even worse.” Not bad, huh? Now if only the professionals running our country’s sex education could figure that out. Because that’s what the Twilight craze is about: a guy who adores his girl so much, he’ll do anything to protect her. A guy who won’t allow his girl to get hurt, even if it means saying “no” to himself. That’s what girls want. Guys Speak Out On ChivalryAshley Crouch | 2008.12.03 Who says guys can’t communicate? A recent survey I took suggests that guys are eager to offer their opinions, if we ladies will only listen. Unfortunately, when the subject is the near-extinct idea of “chivalry,” many women are quick to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear. Yet so many of us women spend our days lamenting broken relationships and marriages and wondering, Where have all the good guys gone?

Tanous The U.S. is in an economic crisis, and Americans are worried.

Book Review: "The Forgotten Man" by Amity ShlaesLil Tuttle | 2008.10.03 What happens if government intervenes in a nation’s economic crisis and makes it worse? Amity Shlaes tells such a story in her book, “The Forgotten Man" ... Movie Review: The Women Misses the Point ... Entirely!Katie Collins and Brooke Green Santamaria | 2008.09.29 Seven Luce Ladies. A Friday afternoon downtown. A chick flick. Really, what could be better? So we thought as we went for a matinee viewing of The Women. What Our Daughters Must KnowMiriam Grossman, MD | 2008.09.04 A young woman has unique biological sensitivities that increase her vulnerability to the consequences of sexual activity. A Madam's Tragedy and a John's Crime of LivingJessica Cantelon | 2008.05.07 | Townhall.com The national media are capitalizing on the recent tragedy of notorious “D.C. Madam” Deborah Jeane Palfrey’s suicide to launch into yet another vacuous round of navel-gazing and post-modern feminist angst. By shaping the narrative as sexist, the media are exhibiting the freshest example of how left-wing feminism has infiltrated American newsrooms—much as it has college classrooms decades ago. The Top Seven Triumphs That Make Clare Boothe Luce a Renaissance WomanBrooke Green Santamaria | 2008.04.10 Ever wonder why we named the Institute after Clare Boothe Luce? Beyond her myriad life achievements, what makes Luce so unforgettable is that she held her head high, rolled up her sleeves, and exuded grace and femininity through it all. The Vagina Monologues Not So FantasticAbigail Gaugert | 2008.04.09 I rarely like to admit I'm wrong, but sometimes I'm wrong enough that it warrants admission. Woman Becomes Pregnant--Alert the Press!Jessica Cantelon | 2008.04.03 | Townhall.com A big fan of women, a straight male friend of mine likes to jokingly call himself a lesbian trapped in a man’s body. While the gag has largely been met with chuckles in the past, I fear that the story of Thomas Beatie may render it a bit too close to reality. Born in Hawaii, thirty-four-year-old Thomas Beatie lives with his wife Nancy in the town of Bend in mountainous central Oregon. After a number of years of marriage, Thomas and Nancy are excited to be expecting their first child, a little girl. But if you’re assuming that Nancy is the pregnant one, you’re wrong. It’s Thomas. |
