Is There A Weinstein Cultural Pushback?

This piece examines how Harvey Weinstein's collapse has spurred a massive shift in cultural effort against sexual abuse.    Also worth examining is this look at how sexual predators exploit the campaign against masculinty -


"In the old days, for every Weinstein or Charlie Rose, there would be a get-even husband, outraged dad, family friend, big brother, or furious boyfriend..... but the malicious men currently in the news knew that too often the slow-coach Human Resources Department would merely catalogue their assaults and weigh the costs and benefits of endangering the careers of rich, powerful, famous predators."

To Kill a Mockingbird, Again

To Kill a Mockingbird, Again

We all had to read this novel in high school and see the movie. The fact the novel and movie are just stock characters acting out liberal talking points (however crisply performed by Gregory Peck, Frank Overton, and company) is always overlooked in praising the story. The hagiography needs to stop because "all the folks buying it don't know they are reading a children's book."
