  I don't know if this is actually true, but the very idea of this possibility gives my mood a little boost, nonetheless. My only reservation is wondering if it is deleterious to the hogs' digestion.

  Your child's education is not the United Nations' to redesign. But on August 27, in a quiet room in New York, that is exactly what is about to happen. No parents are invited. No parliament will vote. The UN Population Fund (UNFPA), the UN agency for what it calls "sexual and reproductive health," is in practice the UN's demographic engineering arm in charge of changing YOUR family to fit THEIR vision. It is preparing to approve new country programs tha...

  “TISEMA" (meaning Let her be heard) is an Ethiopian public advocacy campaign calling for violence against women and girls in Ethiopia to be recognized and responded to as a national crisis. It began as a call for justice and accountability following the killings of individual women whose names entered public conversation. Today, it stands as a prominent public demand to recognize these deaths as a broader pattern of violence and miscarriage of justice, urging the government to deliver...

  The Whitney Museum of American Art’s new show, The Lost World: The Art of Minnie Evans, offers audiences an opportunity to contemplate just how its subject may – or may not – have been an outsider to the art world, and to also revel in Evans’s increasing insiderness in the decades since her death in 1987. A comprehensive retrospective with nearly 100 pieces covering the entirety of Evans’s artistic output, the show occurs almost exactly 50 years after the Whitney first introduced the artist’s ge...

  The “W” in WNBA stands for women. That should be the easiest sentence in professional sports. Instead, the league has turned it into a controversy. The WNBA’s own Collective Bargaining Agreement says that “only players who are women are eligible.” Yet the league refuses to define what the word “woman” means. That is not a clear rule. It is a loophole. And the controversy is no longer hypothetical. Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham publicly defended female-only competition. Her position wa...

  I was already disinclined to watch this due to other considerations, such as the dark tones in the cinematography & the slovenly appearance of the main characters. Clearly the production was operating on the "not your mother's" Jane Austen principle, which, alas, often means the story itself drifts away from the tale which Austen is telling. The truly awful screenplay of Netflix's "Persuasion" is an example of this, as well as an exam...

  As both a mother and a perinatal nurse with extensive training in breast feeding and lactation, I find myself nauseous over the headlines I am reading regarding the assertions from an NHS Trust that milk produced through drug-induced lactation by men is just as advantageous for infants as milk from women or mothers. Milk, or whatever substance that men produce when they take a slew of medications to validate their own lifestyle choices, is not the same as tailor-made breast milk produced by la...

  If you're in the UK, you need to sign this petition. No one can really tell the difference between an 18 year old and a 16 year old. With thousands of pornographic images uploaded daily worldwide, many of them "leaked" content without consent, many could be unknowingly viewing and sharing child pornography. It's part of the reason why this petition exists. The other part is that 18 is simply too young to understand the implications of having your images onli...

  “Rushing to defend a literary source against a supposed cinematic mauling,” he says, “is often little more than an attempt to signal culturedness and education.” Books don’t need protecting, Brody suggests. Only our fragile egos do. Is that true? Is a bad adaptation a victimless crime? I can tell you that there was at least one victim of Fennell’s adaptation: me. I saw the film in theatres with friends when it came out. I’ve been a fan of the Brontë sisters since before I outgrew young adult n...

  A stall promoting gay sex was set up next to a children’s colouring table in a public library, with a large purple sex toy on open display. That is wrong, and one brave councillor had the courage to say so. Now Devon County Council is punishing him for it. On 19 October 2025, Exeter Library hosted a “Young Person’s Day” as part of the city’s Out There Queer Fest, billed as a “bold celebration for LGBTQIA+ young people and friends”. In the library foyer, right beside the children’s art and colo...

  Just Say Mother U.K. is trying to get more signatures - please sign if you haven't done so. Require sex specific language in government, NHS, education, and public bodies Require Government departments, NHS, education and publicly funded bodies to use the words women, girls, mothers and pregnant women as the primary and default wording in policies, guidance and public messages. These words must not be replaced, removed, diluted or overshadowed by alternative wording. We believe clear,...

  I support this petition, though it is Christian-oriented, because it takes a stand against the world-wide enforcement of Genderism. I do not support abortion bans, but I also believe that individuals have the right to advocate peacefully for their point of view, and not silenced. Additionally, it is absolutely ludicrous to link Sex Realism with enslavement & torture as a "crime against humanity"! This petition is directed to the U.K. Foreign Secretary. I am hoping tha...
