I left my marriage at 39. Now, at 45, in good health and with a partner who loves me, I'm ready to be a mother. But last week a doctor told me there is no chance I'll conceive, and I should go home and grieve for the child I'll never have trib.al/F8Hqj5q

The @UN is a promise that when bombs fall, floods rise, or children have nothing to eat, someone will reach out a hand. It takes a special kind of person to uphold that promise; a person prepared to riks it all for others. It's been the privilege of my life to work with people like that.

Believe all women ❌ Believe evidence ✅

Feminism and Liberal Democracy is the latest essay from Tony Critiques Feminism, at Substack. This is a provocative and ambitious argument that deserves to be read, whether you agree with it or not. He contends that feminism has moved beyond being a social movement and has become an institutional ideology that increasingly shapes universities, media, public administration, law, and public discourse, with consequences for free debate, equality before the law, and democratic accountability... Where the article is strongest is in drawing attention to concerns that many people feel, but struggle to articulate: ideological conformity, self-censorship, institutional groupthink, and the growing difficulty of discussing men's issues in mainstream forums. These are legitimate concerns that deserve serious examination rather than dismissal. At the same time, the essay's central conclusion (that liberal democracy and feminism are fundamentally incompatible) will strike many readers as too sweeping. Feminism isn't a single, unified doctrine; the liberal, equity, radical, and other strands of feminism often differ significantly from each other... Some of the problems identified by Tony may be better understood as consequences of ideological excess, institutional capture, or identity politics more broadly, rather than from feminism as a whole. Even so, Tony Critques Feminism has made an important contribution by raising questions that many institutions appear reluctant to confront. Whether you agree with his conclusions or not, the essay is thoughtful, well-argued, extensively sourced, and challenges us as readers to think critically about power, ideology, and the health of our democratic institutions... Worth reading, reflecting on, and debating. critiquingfeminism.substack.…
