Danièle Watts, Sexual Respectability, and Talking to Cops

  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  

Watts’ insistence on simply having experienced pleasure while fully clothed does nothing really to advance a more complicated idea of what counts as pleasure in public.

It’s a Foetus, Not an Unborn Child

  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •

Somaly Mam, Nicholas Kristof, and the Real Sex Trafficking Story

  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  

Nicholas Kristof’s collected work on sex trafficking constitutes a masturbatory text, allowing do-gooders everywhere to stroke and erect their unspoken desires about rescuing sad, tormented women.

Why Now? Introducing the Allen-Farrow Series

  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  

When the public battle between Woody Allen and Mia Farrow first began, I knew immediately that it would get ugly. But even I didn’t expect the bitterness, anger, rage, and bile that would spew forth. 1

  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •

Jacobinned: The Story Behind the Story Jacobin Refused to Publish

  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  

Our work and analyses face the greatest obstacles not from the familiar bogey-man, the Right, but from a Left which is terrified of being called racist because it has painted itself into the corner of identitarianism, where politics is judged solely by the history of oppressions that can be claimed.
