Many Arab states are now more opposed to radical Islam than many Western university campuses. Let that sink in.

I have recently made the very difficult decision to break all contact with my mother. Whilst thinking about this for decades, it has been very hard. The sanctimony of motherhood needs to be challenged, and toxic maternal behaviour identified properly. More to come.

Why do feminists and domestic violence charities never call out abusive women? It’s almost as if the DV industry is corrupt and politically motivated for financial gain… #thebachelorette

@jeremymarchant Plenty of similarities

@drianpace How much of this is different from father/son envy?

Important thread. The negative impact parents can have on both daughters and sons can be massive.

Book reviews by philosophers, notoriously, can be scathing, but a sober review of a book on gender identity by the MIT philosopher (and Academic Freedom Council co-founder) Alex Byrne was deemed too dangerous to print. "The philosophy profession has shown itself to be an institution of fragile integrity when put to the test. One can only hope spines will eventually stiffen, and academic law and order is restored." philosophersmag.com/on-being-rejec…

Another thought on musical canons: I would be so happy if I thought there was tonnes more wonderful music in the Western classical tradition to be discovered, which hasn’t been canonised. But I’ve explored lots of obscure repertoire and at best there are a few bits and pieces.

Every time I read you guys shut down one of those people who excuse women who abuse men on one of my posts I smile. Three years ago that wasn't even possible. Abuse should have never been political. It's not a gendered issue, it's a victim issue, and they all matter.

A hate definition that may do more to divide Britain than protect its Muslims thejc.com/opinion/a-hate…

Louis Theroux takes the likes of HSTikkyTokky far too seriously – and then fails to ask 𝘸𝘩𝘺 there is an audience for these manosphere 'influencers'. When boys are dismissed as toxic by the mainstream, where else can they go? asks Andrew Doyle: spiked-online.com/2026/03/18/the…

appalling

"Cabot says she was told that ‘90 per cent of the online comments and hate came from women and all the in-person comments came from women.’ So not just sexism but women’s own internalised misogyny" @jowilliams293 on the dangers of watching Coldplay spectator.com/article/is-the…

Exclusive: Jewish Guardian staff ‘gaslit’ over ‘progressive antisemitism’ in Gail’s column thejc.com/news/uk/jewish…

Dr @nathancofnas’s appointment at Ghent University has prompted a campaign by members of the institution calling on the university to reverse course, citing his published work on race, heredity and intelligence. In response, CAF Advisory Board member Professor Abhishek Saha helped organised a counter-petition in support of Cofnas’s right to #academicfreedom of expression. CAF Director Dr Edward Skidelsky is among the signatories, alongside a number of senior academics from leading universities. This is not about endorsing Cofnas’s views, but about defending the principle that disagreements of this kind should be addressed through open inquiry, criticism, and civil debate. Of course, academics must be free to strongly contest ideas they regard as deeply objectionable. But that does not extend to a veto over appointments. Universities cannot function if controversial or provocative lines of research are treated as grounds for exclusion rather than argument. You can read the statement and sign the counter-petition here: drive.google.com/file/d/1RRsGma… @ObhishekSaha @ProfDHayes @epkaufm @Furedibyte @HJoyceGender @drianpace @aytchellesse @JoPhoenix1 @sapinker

Jews and allies queuing up to deliver Gail’s to the editor of the @guardian.

All a big misunderstanding. Of course. Alternatively, the Guardian is simply lying in response to the anger its latest unambiguous antisemitism has aroused. Actually that's not an alternative. It's what happened.

This is a BBC supporter praising a top Iranian regime official - bloody hell. - there are people who would have said the same thing about hitler! Why are we threatened with prison for not paying for this?

This isn't a case of "the tables have turned". Women have been making these kinds of remarks for decades. It's also very odd to be laughing at rape and abuse. Major self-report on your end.

This is more excellent candour from @Katie_Lam_MP about the threat of Islamism in Britain. And it’s hilarious to see my old local MP, @DawnButlerBrent again fail to understand anything. It’s made me re-read my @TheCriticMag piece about what a calamity she is: 🔗 👇
