In this column I pose questions and raise issues. The purpose is to put a slightly different spin on each item, provoke thinking or give you ideas for how to respond to things. Think of them as "sound bite arguments."

---

• Kyrgyzstan is overrun with left over communist thugs who will ruin the country; the Australian and Canadian companies trying to do business there should cut their losses, leave and let the thugs starve.
• Angry Harry is billing himself as "Founder of the Online Men's Movement." Robert Sheaffer's Domain of the Patriarchy dates back to 1994 or 1995. In May of 1995 I followed with The Backlash!. Harry's website was established in 2001.
• To silence feminist accusations of sexual harassment, men must ignore female sexuality.
• How long before feminists will claim that when men ignore women's sexuality it's sexual harassment?
• The feminist definition of social justice is elevating women at the expense of men, especially if it leads to treating men like slaves and right-thinking women like goddesses.
• When it comes to winning a woman's heart, reality defies feminism; question is, are American women still worth it?
• People who absorb themselves in distractions like professional sports and games such as those on social media while ignoring the descent of the nation into fascism (aka crony capitalism ala Bush and Obama) instead of actively involving themselves to prevent it and to prepare to flee if necessary have nobody to blame but themselves should they suffer such fates as befell the citizens of Nazi Germany, Red China and the Soviet Union.
• If you wake up one morning to find that the US dollar is worthless, what would you wish you had to replace it?
• The National Organization for Women, Ms. Magazine, and the Southern Poverty Law Center have much in common with the KKK.
• One hundred years ago everybody knew American Indians were dumb, Whites were superior to Blacks and Women were fragile. Today everybody knows Women are strong, Men are violent, Blacks are oppressed, and Indians are culturally superior. Just think what everybody will know one hundred years from now.
• Would tuition be so high if students could not get government guaranteed student loans? And how many college grads are able to get work that relates to their coursework and degree? The student loan bubble encourages millions of young people--primarily young women--to pursue degrees that have no economic value and do not equip them to make a living, let alone pay off their student loan.
• "Who rewards work ethic?" - Mike Rowe
• Should shoppers be allowed to discriminate against business owners? If so, then why shouldn't business owners be allowed to discriminate against shoppers?
• The backlash against GMOs has less to do with the "frankenfood factor" than it does with the legal clout companies like Monsanto have to invade private property to protect their patents against innocent infringement by farmers and families whose gardens and farms have been pollinated by bees carrying pollen from GMO farms.
• Feminism is about hate, not equality, and proving (progressive) female superiority.
• Western men speak to be understood. If they do not, people can die. Feminists take offense at this because they see everything through the lens of power and think themselves superior.
• "Men Going Their Own Way" is not a war on women, but it is part of The Backlash! against the feminist hate movement.
• If it's not hate speech for feminists to lie about men, then why is it hate speech to tell the truth about feminists?
• In Feminism Is Big Business, Bhakti Shringarpure highlights the aspect of mass movements that Eric Hoffer revealed in The True Believer: eventually it becomes a business.
• Do women become feminists to make up for feelings of inadequacy?
• The number of cryptocurrencies is growing, the security of Bitcoin is inherently flawed, best to steer clear for now.
• What are people who only say what others want to hear? Liars. What are people who surround themselves with such? Narcissist.
• The welfare state advanced feminism far more than the pill.
• The number of women with worthless degrees and, in the US, insufferable levels of student debt is growing. I wonder how long it will be before feminists will realize this and begin to blame men for it.
• The "patriarchy" died decades ago.
• The real target of feminism is not "the patriarchy," but the nuclear family, masculinity, heterosexuality, the middle class, working class and working poor.
• Feminism is a puppet of the anglosphere elite in a multigenerational war to impoverish the rest of us.
• Feminists make careers out of man-shaming.
• While some women are very career oriented, most women, including most of the women who are more career oriented, prefer men whose focus lies outside the home and who are very career oriented. Hence, women's (free market) choices predispose them to relationships in which they end up doing more in the home.
• The dictionary definition of feminism is a lie. Feminism has nothing to do with equal rights. Feminism casts everything in terms of power and as such requires the implied gun of the government to solve every problem.
• The effort to reconcile feminism with libertarianism is doomed to fail and pollutes the libertarian message.
• Tenure for public school teachers protects progressive ideologues with a socialist agenda that runs counter to what most parents want.
• Does the relative scarcity of female serial killers reflect a cultural bias that overlooks them?
• "Wal-Mart is an organization not an All-Star team." - Malcolm Gladwell
• "To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize." - Voltaire
• Eliminate US demand for Muslim oil and funding for Islamic terrorism will evaporate.
• "One does not bend history by being the lesser of two evils." - Joe Scarborough
• To feminists, women who are real victims of domestic violence are a resource to be exploited.
• One of the biggest advantages the White middle and upper classes have over all working class families, including Blacks, is not a sense of entitlement, but the kind and quality of their sense of entitlement: they expect to be treated not with deference, but with respect.
• Extractive economies, in which the means of production and output are controlled by a political hierarchy, have been, throughout history, unstable and relatively short-lived. Stable, prosperous societies are inclusive, affording all members opportunities to participate and profit under a system of small government.
