Starting Again, Again

Having finished the following post about J.K. Rowling yet again standing up for women and their sex-based rights…

Once More Into The Breach

…you go girl!

It’s my turn to “once more” start again by adding another controversial topic to the blog.

I’ve aligned myself with Gender-Critical Feminists like Rowling and many others in the past year by defending sex-based rights. But now I’m sure I will part ways with many of them (although not all of them) because of some of the blogging I expect to do in the next year.

In the last year, I’ve been an advocate for reality. Principally for God’s good creation of real men and women, boys and girls. Those are the only options available to us.

I’ve also advocated that we embrace confused people.

Wise and Scrupulous

So says The Economist about the New York Times Bestseller:

So….

You can find it on-line here. Take the time. It’s worth it.

Afterword Contents.

It has been a tough three years — for universities, for many Western democracies, and for humanity — as we all adapted to a pandemic, an economic crisis, and political turbulence. Our goal in this afterword is to share with you nine things we have learned in the last three years so that you can better understand and respond to the trends that may already be affecting your family, school, workplace, and country.

The afterword has nine sections:

  1. Gen Z’s Mental Health Continues to Deteriorate
  2. It’s Social Media—More Than Screen Time—That Matters For Mental Health
  3. Increasing Persecution on Campus
  4. The Polarization Spiral and the Great Awokening
  5. International Coddling
  6. Corporate Coddling
  7. The Role of Ed Schools
  8. K-12 and the Battle Over Antiracism 3.0
  9. Conclusion: Eternal Wisdom
