Guardian Hypocrisy – Feminism vs Islam
Married vs Single women voters
When Men/Women fail to support their children
I like this b/c it demonstrates the hypocrisy of the feminist, women-as-victims narratives. I don’t like it because it suggests there should be equality.

Academics Write Rubbish Nobody Reads
And most experience a twinge of excitement when, months later, they open a letter informing them that their article has been accepted for publication, and will, therefore, be read by…
… an average of 10 people.
Yes, you read that correctly. The numbers reported by recent studies are pretty bleak:
– 82 percent of articles published in the humanities are not even cited once.
– Of those articles that are cited, only 20 percent have actually been read.
– Half of academic papers are never read by anyone other than their authors, peer reviewers, and journal editors.
So what’s the reason for this madness? Why does the world continue to be subjected to just under 2 million academic journal articles each year?
Well, the main reason is money and job security.
