Here’s another compelling video by Joomi Kim.
Is modern feminism ruining literature?

Tier-ranking of Dickens’s novels
Katie Lumsden of Book and Things ranks Dickens’s novel across several tiers and categories. I pretty much agree with her final rankings except for OLIVER TWIST, which I would raise several places, and HARD TIMES, which I would drop several places. My criteria do not always align with hers.
The one category I would disregard is GENDER, which she should really name FEMINIST, because her interest is really only in how Dickens portrays women according to feminist gender theory. She really has little interest in male characters except to speak about toxic masculinity when, in her mind, it’s warranted or when they behave according to feminist notions.
Blame of the manosphere
This short video takes a humorous look at the current panic among feminists and the media over what they call the manosphere. In reality, the manosphere is one of the places where their false narratives are being exposed. What we are seeing now is the creation of a straw man—something to blame, distort, and use as a distraction from the truth that is coming to light. More and more people are waking up to the game and beginning to see the hostility and self-interest that have been there all along.

Watch Out For This Scam Impersonating Editors at Major Publishing Houses
POSTED BY VICTORIA-STRAUSS FOR WRITER BEWARE® ON
I’ve recently gotten a slew of reports of emails purporting to be from editors at Big 5 and other large publishers, in which the supposed editor expresses interest in the writer’s work and asks whether they have a literary agent.
I’ve posted a number of examples below. Apologies for so many images, but I wanted you to see, beyond the gen AI personalization and praise, how similar they are–including the identical phrases I’ve highlighted in red (I’ve redacted the authors’ details, along with information specific to their books).
A dark age of literature?
That’s the question that Joomi Kim asks in this excellent presentation of the modern novel. For years, I have only had to get a whiff of wokism in books, movies and television, and off they go. I haven’t bothered to delve into novels, for example, to justify my action. I was confident I didn’t have to. In this presentation, Joomi Kim does just that. She discusses a range of book titles, many of which are high on book award lists, showing that they are all in the same unexamined woke bubble. At the end of this video, I was inclined to answer yes to her question.
Islamic warning to Australia
Once again, Harris Sultan exposes Islam’s leaders who express their determination to subject the world to their primitive, blood and thunder ideology. And there we have Prime Minister Albanese in fairyland, thinking he can bring Islam out of its dark hole by visiting their mosque, thereby subjecting the Australian nation to Islamic humiliation. Harris Sultan’s channel is highly recommended.
