I disagree. I do think there are ways that men are hurt by sexism that have no equivalent in your…
Speaking as a man I would never join an organisation that focuses on men's issues. To do so would be…
Why are there no dedicated left orgs like that? In the UK there's the Men and Boys Coalition. In the…

Cartoon: Biden Stuffed Ballot Boxes in Boise!
If you like these cartoons, blah blah blah Patreon. A zombie belief on the right that will never be killed is that Democrats massively cheat in every major election, manufacturing tens of thousands of fake votes, usually in ways that … Continue reading
Cartoon: Crackpots, Left vs Right
This cartoon was drawn by Becky Hawkins! See if you can spot the little details she sneaked in (answers at the bottom). “There are crackpots on the left, too!” is a pretty common sentiment – one of the many false … Continue reading
Cartoon: Self-Medicating My ADHD

Cartoon: Only SOME Can Be Objective
Another cartoon drawn by Nadine Scholtes! As well as drawing this cartoon, Nadine made a crucial contribution to the script; she suggested making the final panel a thought balloon, an idea I immediately agreed to. This cartoon was directly inspired … Continue reading

So Much In Common
Robert Wright writes: But then I remembered a conversation I had a few years ago with a psychologist at Boston College named Liane Young. She and some colleagues had done research on how Palestinians and Israelis view their conflict and … Continue reading
Cartoon: Nonbinaries Don’t Care About Your Bullshit
This cartoon is drawn by Nadine Scholtes. People online who hate nonbinary people are strikingly bitter about it, and for no reason I can understand. “What’s wrong with these people?” they growl, and go on and on about how “narcissistic” … Continue reading
I don’t think it’s good for feminism that ending sexism is seen as something without direct benefits for men, when…
