But “they” is okay too — Despite the fact lots of older folks get their undergarments in a wad over pronouns, I’ve watched a lot of my Gen X and Boomer friends look on in absolute awe over the gender boundaries Gen Z is annihilating. In fact, more than one of my Gen X and Boomer…

And I’m not even kidding — I don’t like writing these things. I swear I don’t. But lately I’ve noticed an incredible anxiety among American men about being falsely accused of rape and having their lives “ruined.” They talk about it in a panic, as if thousands and thousands of innocent men are locked up in…

But there was one aspect of it that horrified me more than anything, and that was the knowledge that it would affect hundreds and hundreds of little girls who are raped and impregnated in the…

But your extremist politics is breaking my heart — If you haven’t yet heard, on Friday, August 10, small-town cops raided a small-town newspaper office — The Marion County Record — the publisher’s home, and even reporters’ homes in Marion, Kansas. Marion is a teeny town of only 1,900 people. …
