I don’t know about you, but I used to never collect my thoughts. Rather, I shared them. If I didn’t like something, I’d say so. If I felt frustrated or tired, I’d announce it. If I had an opinion (and I almost always have an opinion), I’d share it. Basically, every thought and feeling I …
Listen, Gentlemen, we need to talk. First of all, obviously as a woman I can’t relate to what it’s like to be a man in the modern world. But I can see, very clearly, what’s happening in modern marriage and relationships—and it’s not pretty. In fact, it’s a downright disaster. I know you want a …
I had a coaching session recently in which a married couple kept referring to their money as “his” money and “her” money. It made me think of the number of married couples I’ve heard call in to The Dave Ramsey Show — a great podcast I highly recommend about how to take control of your …
This article was originally published at the Washington Examiner. The other day on my podcast, I spoke with Rose Skeeters, a licensed professional counselor in Philadelphia who used to be a single mother of a son. That son is now 10 years old, and Rose has been married for several years to a great man. …
This article was originally published at the Washington Examiner. I gave an interview the other day about the new FX/Hulu series, Mrs. America, the fictional account of the 1970s fight between feminists and my aunt, Phyllis Schlafly, over the Equal Rights Amendment. Feminists wanted it passed; Phyllis and her supporters didn’t. (If you’re interested, here’s the behind-the-scenes true …
Let me guess: When you first met your wife, you pulled out all the stops to “get” her. You put 100% effort into your appearance; you listened intently when she talked; and you told her how fabulous she was. Then, sometime down the road, you had sex. And when you did, it involved a lot of …
The first time I took to the computer to write a book, or to attempt to write a book, I’d quit teaching. I was so disturbed by what I’d witnessed in public schools I started reading voraciously about education. That research, along with my personal experience, ignited a fire that never went out. Though I …
The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution. It was advertised as a great benefit to women, something that would rescue them from centuries of second-class citizenship and for the first time put women in the constitution. The argument of those who were for it was that American women …
Are you one of those wives? You know which kind I mean: the kind who nags her husband (i.e. pleads, cajoles, yells, etc.) to try and get him to do something. I know, I know: How else will anything get done if you don’t nag? I get it. But I have one question. How’s that workin for ya? The problem …
For more than twenty years I’ve been fighting back against feminism, waking people up to the cult-like nature of a movement that claims to be empowering but in reality is the exact opposite. Feminism is a failure is because it is rooted in victimhood and deliberately drives a wedge between women and men. Its entire …
Never in the history of time have women been more in the dark about men. Raised to rule the world, rather than to become wives and mothers, many women are shooting blanks when it comes to love. That so many are products of divorce doesn’t help matters. Growing up with one parent, as opposed to …
This article was originally published at the Washington Examiner. I know it’s not trendy to suggest women marry earlier rather than later. But just because something’s unpopular doesn’t mean it’s wrong or even a bad idea. Smoking was at one time hugely popular, and look how dumb that was. This also isn’t an argument for …
This article was originally published at the Washington Examiner. I can’t think of anyone whose advice to women is more destructive than Sheryl Sandberg’s. From her considerable perch over the past ten years, Sandberg has told women to “lean in” to their careers at the expense of being with their children. She has insisted men …
It takes a non-feminist mind, or the absence of a knee-jerk response to male guilt, to represent one of the most notorious alleged sexual predators in America. And yet Harvey Weinstein’s lead defense attorney, Donna Rotunno, calls herself “the ultimate feminist.” I understand why. Her argument is that if you want a society in which men and …
This article was originally published at the Washington Examiner. I feel bad for women with really big jobs who make a boatload of money. Somewhere along the line, they got the message (from their mothers, from the culture, etc.) that a high-paying career should be their life’s goal. As a result, from the time these …
This article was originally published at the Washington Examiner. In my day (I’m 51, so an 80s girl), romantic relationships weren’t complicated. You met someone, you were attracted to him or her, you got along great, and you started dating. As in, actual dating: the guy asked the girl to dinner and a movie, and …
This article was originally published at The Federalist. Susan Forray is a 44-year-old divorced actuary who wrote in The New York Times about her relationship with a man unlike all the others she dated in the past, in that he believed in traditional gender roles. This gentleman told Forray flat-out one day, “I’m the man. I should be …
This article was originally published at the Washington Examiner. A new study by the University of Queensland in Australia found that women are more attracted to men with beards — which is very good to know, since bearded men are a dime a dozen these days. But it’s the reason women gave for why they’re attracted …
A similar version of this article was published at the Washington Examiner. I have a proudly progressive male friend who married a feminist some years ago who asked him to take her name. They didn’t end up going that route, but my friend seriously considered it. I thought of him when I read this recent …
There was a time, not long ago, when few woman would consider marrying a man who lacked ambition. Not the kind of unbridled ambition that fosters deep pockets—the kind that propels a man to push forward for the sake of his family, as well as for his own mental health. Men need work in a …
This article was originally published at the Washington Examiner. This month marks the roughly third year in a row we must endure a #MeToo redo of the hit holiday single, Baby It’s Cold Outside. The latest version, sung by John Legend and Kelly Clarkson, is the most extreme. It chucks all references to the man trying to …
This article was originally published at the Washington Examiner. I’m convinced Tucker Carlson is the only television host who understands the fallout of feminism and is willing to discuss it on national TV. During a recent interview with me on his program, Carlson noted the following: “I don’t think anything has changed our society more for the worse” than feminism. …
This article was originally published at the Washington Examiner. Almost exactly seven years ago, I wrote an article headlined “The War on Men” that went viral. The best feedback came not from the legions of angry feminists whose emails flooded my inbox, but from clinical psychiatrist Paul Dobransky, M.D., who wrote a response piece in Psychology …
This article was originally published at the Washington Examiner. America just had its lowest birth rate in 32 years. The 2018 fertility rate hit a “record low,” researchers wrote in a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Also of note is that among all births, the percentage delivered at less than …
