Feminism is not about advancing women:

"Kiran Ganhdi became an Internet sensation because she ran the 2015 London Marathon without a tampon. But you know who isn’t an internet sensation? Me. Tigist Tufa. Winner of the 2015 London Marathon.

Gandhi stained her pants in public. I ran 26.2 miles in 2 hours and 23 minutes. That’s faster than most people could go on a bike. I called People Magazine asking for a feature, I even catered to them saying I’d talk about my fitness routine. But they just said, “Are you the tampon girl?” and I said, “No I’m the winner.” But they had already hung up on me. In Gandhi’s numerous magazine and blog interviews, she said she chose not to wear a tampon in order to fight sexism and erase the stigma about periods.

But do you know what fights sexism in an extremely tangible way? Running 26.2 miles faster than hundreds of men. Literally hundreds of men. Like me. That’s what I did."

24/7 Sobriety (from WSJ)

"Offenders in 24/7 Sobriety can drive all they want to, but they are under a court order not to drink. Every morning and evening, for an average of five months, they visit a police facility to take a breathalyzer test.

Unlike most consequences imposed by the criminal justice system, the penalties for noncompliance are swift, certain and modest. Drinking results in mandatory arrest, with a night or two in jail as the typical penalty.

The results have been stunning. Since 2005, the program has administered more than 7 million breathalyzer tests to over 30,000 participants. Offenders have both showed up and passed the test at a rate of over 99%."

Governor Scott Walker has executed a brilliant two-step plan.

Step 1: Cut $250 million from the state education budget.

Step 2: Give $250 million to the Milwaukee Bucks for a new basketball arena.

Nothing shady going on here, folks!

Your ringtone is racist and micro-aggressive, you horrible monster!

Precious snowflake creates petition against Apple to protect son from hearing an offensive ringtone.

Ahem. Nobody wants to hear about Tigist Tufa, because that win was the result of a lifetime of sacrifice, training and self-determination. Since those are individual traits which cannot be exploited for political gain - and are in fact welfare-program killers - they will be suppressed.
