The Emperor's New Clothes, Hair, Makeup, and Breasts

The cover of the next issue of Vanity Fair features Bruce Jenner, post- "facial-feminization" surgery, wearing women's clothes, and insisting we now call him Caitlyn. Predictably, upon being greeted with this news, the brainwashed masses online reacted as if Mr. Jenner had just descended from the heavens in a burst of rainbows, mounted on a winged unicorn, and soared down to earth just in time to rescue five hundred orphaned ethnic children and as many puppies from a burning building.

The Pill Causes Women's Brains to Shrink, Study Says

A recently-published article in the Human Brain Mapping journal suggests that the pill, that pernicious pharmaceutical Jacobin, may actually shrink women's brains. Specifically, the study found that the use of oral contraceptives "was associated with significantly lower cortical thickness measurements in the lateral orbitofrontal cortex and the posterior cingulate cortex".

For those of you, like yours truly, so unwise in the ways of science, the lateral orbitofronal cortex and posterior cingulate cortex are areas of the brain "believed to be important for responding to rewards and evaluating internal states/incoming stimuli, respectively."

While more research is clearly needed, a link between the use of oral contraceptives and decreased mental capacity would certainly help explain the alarming popularity of feminism and similarly destructive ideologies amongst Western women today.

Sorry SJWs, But Sexual Orientation is Not Analogous to Race

While at this point in my life I have become accustomed to the staggering depths of intellectual dishonesty to which leftists will descend to make a point, I am still somewhat shocked by the ease with which so many of them claim that the contemporary drive to undermine the traditional family through the redefinition of ancient institutions and the toleration and normalization of sexual deviancy for LGBTMNOPQRSXYZ "rights" is analogous to blacks' struggle during the American Civil Rights Movement.

A Chorus of Caricature

If the early years of the second decade of the twenty-first century are to be remembered by political historians, they should be marked as the period in which the progressive left completed its spectacular descent into a complete and utter state of farce. The left has become a gross parody of itself; countless mainstream left-wing writers (and politicians and talking heads for that matter) peddle narratives and opinions so ridiculous that were a man of sound mind to encounter their screeds out of context he would be convinced he was reading a piece of conservative satire.
