I’ll confess here at the outset: my tolerance for Donald Trump and all of his accompanying cruel whimsy has reached an all new low.

Let’s get the obvious out of the way: Fuck Eric Schneiderman. I know we’re supposed to do the whole “innocent until proven guilty thing” but just like with Roy Moore, Schneiderman’s victims told their friends about what had happened so there is contemporaneous collaboration of their stories. …Continue reading Continue Reading at https://thedailybanter.com

There is a good argument to be made that the Alt Right movement spearheaded by the likes of Steve Bannon, Richard Spencer, Milo Yiannopolous, and the polemicists at Breitbart was a reaction to the rise of identity politics on the left.

American schools have this fascinating double standard when it comes to how male and female students are allowed to dress. Boys can wear pretty much anything they want while girls are not allowed to wear anything that might be “distracting” to boys and/or male teachers.
