Rolling Stone Cover: Sexist, Pornographic, or What?

Sep 2, 2010 | 26 Comments

Rolling Stone Magazine's September "True Blood" cover is getting a lot of attention.
Welcome, readers! Do you read Rolling Stone? I want your opinion about the Rolling Stone’s September issue. What do you think of the cover that features a woman sandwiched between two men? All three are very naked and very bloody. They appear to be covered in someone else’s blood.
Some people think the picture is sexist, but other people think it is perfectly okay because of sexual tension on the characters’ TV series. …

Jane Austen’s Fight Club

Aug 27, 2010 | 5 Comments

The opinions expressed herein are those of the author, and not necessarily those of The New Agenda.
I just love this video, and I have to keep watching it over and over again. At first, I wondered if it were a commercial or preview for an actual movie. However, after looking through www.imdb.com and finding nothing, I think this is a video a bunch of women created just for fun. And it certainly is a lot of fun.
This is a nifty yet anachronistic take on 1800s women who …

Sex Trafficking Here at Home

Aug 22, 2010 | 14 Comments

The opinions expressed herein are those of the author, and not necessarily those of The New Agenda.
Some people say the United States should solve its own problems with women’s issues before our country criticizes another country. I continue to believe our country is better for women than a lot of other countries are. After all, women are not stoned for adultery in the United States. Nor are they legally denied access to education, careers, and a single lifestyle. However, I admit our country does have a …

A Dad Cautions: Spousal Abuse is Child Abuse

Aug 19, 2010 | 3 Comments

The opinions expressed herein are those of the author, and not necessarily those of The New Agenda.
Children need a secure and loving environment in order to mature into emotionally and psychologically healthy adults. When a father abuses or injures the mother of their children, the children also feel the effects. A child’s primary source of love and security comes from the parents. When one parent attacks the other, whether verbally or physically, this attack removes the sense of love and security that the child needs at home. …

Doctor Who: Amy Pond

Aug 8, 2010 | 25 Comments

The opinions expressed herein are those of the author, and not necessarily those of The New Agenda.
Doctor Who is the biggest British import in the United States. It is about a space- and time-traveling alien called The Doctor who adores Earth and often takes with him a human to be his companion on many adventures. These companions are often female but have been male. Recently, there has been some controversy over whether the treatment of Amy Pond in the series has been sexist. I refuse to …

Sharia Law hits New Jersey

Jul 31, 2010 | 13 Comments

The opinions expressed herein are those of the author, and not necessarily those of The New Agenda.   H/t to Marnie for bringing the story of  a recent incident in New Jersey to our attention.
If Michelle Malkin a racist xenophobe, then I suppose I am as well. After all, Malkin has repeatedly condemned genital mutilation and the murder of Muslim women under “honor killings.” Guess what? I agree with her completely.
The majority of honor killings are committed by Muslims whose culture is deeply rooted in Sharia. …

The Suspense of Helen MacInnes

Jul 26, 2010 | 2 Comments

The opinions expressed herein are those of the author, and not necessarily those of The New Agenda.
A few years ago, I attempted to read novels dealing with suspense, politics, and other important contemporary matters. I assumed that because the authors were experts in a certain field, their fiction stories about that field must be awesome. Unfortunately, I discovered their characters and their style of writing to be flat, devoid of depth, and amateurish at best. They were experts in national security, but they knew nothing about a …

What is Feminist Fiction?

Jul 23, 2010 | 8 Comments

The opinions expressed herein are those of the author, and not necessarily those of The New Agenda.
What is feminist fiction? Feminist fiction is inherently pro-woman, but can fiction be woman-positive without necessarily being feminist?
Many years ago, The Closer premiered on TNT. Its title character is Brenda Leigh Johnson who uses her sharp wits to secure confessions, making trials unnecessary. I love so many things about the series. The show’s creator originally considered it to center around a man, but he made the character a woman to …

Glenn Beck Honors Historical Women

Jul 9, 2010 | 23 Comments

The opinions expressed herein are those of the author, and not necessarily those of The New Agenda.

I applaud Glenn Beck for dedicating a Friday to the women who helped in the founding of our nation. I am very happy about his July 2nd episode. Previously on TNA, we have highlighted some of the negative statements he made toward women. We even recommended he follow Michelle Malkin’s example in his criticism and jokes over Michelle Obama.
So far, Glenn Beck has been the only person I know of to …

“The End of Men” – Are Men Oppressed?

Jun 21, 2010 | 65 Comments

The opinions expressed herein are those of the author, and not necessarily those of The New Agenda.
In Hanna Rosin’s new article in this month’s Atlantic , “The End of Men,” she poses the question along with the assertion:
What if modern, postindustrial society is simply better suited to women? A report on the unprecedented role reversal now under way— and its vast cultural consequences
She notes that women are now leading men in education, training and employment numbers. More women than men earn college degrees, fewer are unemployed, and they outnumber men …
