Frantic moves by the woke class to ban it, but the attempts only made it more popular.

Be afraid of flying
Females head up Australia’s two biggest airlines. One of those female CEOs has publicly stated that she will follow quota guidelines for recruiting airline staff, including pilots. Pilots will be chosen based on identity rather than competence.
Sorry, I’m not stepping onto a plane without knowing who’s flying it. That will probably never happen again.
Fighting the patriarchy
The frivolous spite of young women. The video below is remarkable for the opening scenes portraying young women describing their ways of attacking the patriarchy – their indoctrinated form of the patriarchy. There are thousands of videos like this across the internet. They pop up everywhere.
Feminism and marriage
Laura How
“Feminism has always been a force for good and equality.” Is that really true? In this conversation with retired Professor Janice Fiamengo, we examine feminism’s actual origins, its pervasive influence on modern relationships, and why so many men and women are waking up to a very different reality than what we’ve been told.
Professor Janice Fiamengo, creator of The Fiamengo Files video series and author of Sons of Feminism, joins me for an unflinching look at how feminist ideology has shaped our attitudes toward men, marriage, and family life. From classrooms teaching children that men are the problem, to therapy rooms filled with women who’ve been taught to fear and distrust their husbands, we explore how these ideas have taken root and what the cost has been to both sexes.
This conversation challenges the narrative that feminism’s only critics are those who hate women or want to deny them opportunities. Instead, we examine the historical record, question why certain perspectives have been suppressed, and ask what happens to societies that tell men they don’t matter.
Women destroy civilisations
The (Female) Elephant in the Room
Will we continue to pretend that female power does not lead to civilizational disaster?
Janice Fiamengo Oct 16, 2025
Multiple surveys (see, for example, with thanks to James Nuzzo, here, here, here, here, here and here) suggest that when women hold power, they pursue typically feminine preferences and policies. Female-led institutions become more oriented to social justice than objective truth. Feelings matter above facts, context above law, and victimhood above expertise.
Protecting and promoting the allegedly vulnerable—through censorship, shaming, coercion, or lawbreaking/lawfare—becomes a greater priority than excellence or impartiality. Truth-tellers find themselves cancelled, Nobel prize winners reduced to tears, laws and policies applied unequally, white men accused and vilified, criminals cossetted, mental illnesses affirmed, and destructive policies embraced. No one who has paid attention over the past 20 years can be surprised by the findings.
Moreover, our ability to discuss this feminine revolution in values is hampered by the very logic of the revolution, as I will show. Both women and men, deeply disinclined to “harm” women, fail to confront the problem adequately.
Two discussions of the subject—an essay by two social psychologists at Quillette and, more recently, a conference speech by a feisty conservative woman—draw a line under the seeming inevitability of the west’s collapse. Even faced with that alarming prospect, most pundits cannot bear to imagine an alternative to the female-led assault on our core institutions.
Cheering on Women’s Empowerment
A 2022 article in Quillette, “Sex and the Academy,” provides a stark illustration of my thesis. The subtitle rules out the very conclusion the data supports, with the authors emphasizing that “The inclusion of women in higher education is a great achievement for Western liberal societies. How is this changing academic culture?”
The “great achievement,” as it turns out, will almost certainly be a lethal one.
The article was written by two academics, Cory Clark and Bo Winegard, both PhDs in social psychology. Winegard, a male scholar, had an unfortunate run-in with academic orthodoxy that led to his loss of employment; Clark, a female scholar, has a secure academic position. Both authors express enthusiasm for the takeover of academia by women even as they point out its damaging consequences. Neither one advocates any form of resistance, no matter how mild, to feminine academia’s assault on truth.
Louise Adler leads a sunburst of Woke hypocrisy
Louise Adler, publishing identity and Director of The Adelaide Writers’ Week, resigned her position over the decision to cancel the appearance of ‘Palestinian-Australian’ author Randa Abdel-Fattah.
More than 150 authors decided to boycott the festival for the same reason Adler stepped down. In the video below, Adler and a sample of authors stated unambiguously that the issue was about free speech.
Don’t make me laugh.
Everyone connected with books and writing knows that the many writer festivals across Australia, funded by government largesse, are woke/feminist affairs. You simply don’t get a guernsey if you depart from the ideology. Indeed, you don’t get a publishing gig unless you have your woke credentials.
