In this column I pose questions and raise issues. I don't always agree with the conclusion, implied or stated. The purpose is to put a slightly different spin on each item and to promote discussion.

• America loves dead Indians.
• If, as feminists contend, women are better communicators than men, then why do so many women "communicate" with men by not communicating?
• The sexist stereotype that women are better communicators than men seems to be predicated upon the fact that so many women use words as weapons, engaging equally in "rapport-talk" and "reject-talk."
• The appropriate response to the question, "Do you believe in God?" is, "Which one?" For Christians, the answer is Jehovah.
• "Historical oppression" is the banner beneath which present day oppression is often justified.
• Injustice is always the same, only the names, faces, circumstances and excuses change.
• Feminism: the idiotic notion that women need everything they want.
• Men, according to feminists, are violent. And they're right. The capacity of men to inflict physical injury is egregious, and equaled only by women's capacity to inflict emotional injury.
• Isn't it ironic how the term "Indian giver" is used to denote a behavior typical of how America treats Indians?
• Feminists at once blame men for the female passivity that causes women to drift into one bad relationship after another, and embrace that same passivity as women's prerogative.
• The politics of oppression is always predicated on the assumption that oppressing some particular group is justified.
• Our equalitarian essays from 5 and 10 years ago are no less relevant to contemporary society than the feminist essays from the same period. Though, given that many of our essays were written in response to widely read feminists essays of that time, ours might be even more relevant.
• It is beyond feminist comprehension that few men fit the feminists' sexist stereotypes of men.
• In the feminist philosophy, men who are innocent of oppressing women are an insult, men who do not fit the sexist male stereotype are a joke, and men who have been harmed by women are an abomination.
• If the Bush Administration is blameless in the 9/11 tragedy, then why have they been so reluctant to investigate, why did they appoint Henry Kissinger, a grand master of the political cover-up, to head the commission, and why did Kissinger, a veteran of many controversies, bolt and run?
• In feminist politics, the oppression of one woman is a tragedy while the oppression of two men is justice.
• Most men are attracted to "tomboys," so generally being a tomboy is socially acceptable. Most women, however, disdain effeminate men, and so being an effeminate man is generally socially unacceptable.
• Feminists have persuaded Americans that women's wants must be treated as needs.
• Alcohol: the most common "date rape drug."
• "Coyote ugly": a sexist term sometimes used to describe women who use alcohol to, by feminist definition, rape men.
• Many feminists are both offended by yet attracted to confident men.
• The Republicans and Democrats continue to debate taxation as a rich vs. poor issue when they should be focusing on policies to increase middle class and working poor income so the rest of us can afford to pay more taxes.
• The result of 30+ years of feminism: "A slow, 30-year rise in the infanticide rate."
• Science fictiony stuff aside, the fundamental flaw in Steven Speilberg's Taken is the assumption that people really would rally to protect the alien-human hybrids. No matter how much audiences sympathize with Frankenstein's monster, the sad truth is that, from bin Laden to Bush, humankind is largely comprised of torch and pitchfork brigades who are prepared to kill, control, despise or condemn anyone who is too different.
• The popular rendition of the Ten Commandments might be better described as the 10 sound bites.
