Metaphors are much more tenacious than facts. - Paul Deman Advocates for the decriminalization of prostitution repeatedly point out that when any activity is criminalized, it is pushed into the shadows and thereby attracts the kind of vermin who thrive in the darkness. Those who prey on others and scavenge profits from their misfortunes cannot [...]

What is a Neofeminist?
If you read this site for any length of time you will encounter the term “neofeminist”. This is my own coinage, because I refuse to apply the term “feminist” to a sort of twisted male chauvinist who believes that women are not good enough as we are and should therefore strive to think, act, work and look as much like men as possible. This is in sharp contrast to “archeofeminists” like myself, who recognize that women are just fine as we are and would in fact be weakened by becoming more like men.
Neofeminism is actually nothing more than another flavor of Neomarxism, that thankfully-discredited ersatz "philosophy" which seeks to provoke warfare between two large segments of society so as to create the chaos necessary to grab power for itself. I sincerely hope that within the next few years humanity as a whole recognizes this abomination for what it is and casts it into the rubbish-heap of history along with the Marxism which spawned it, but in the meantime the neofeminists and their castrated lap-dogs have become quite proficient at warping any and every discussion on the rights of individual women into a means of furthering their own anti-male, anti-sex agenda.
