The vile gaslighting of teenage girls who don't want boys in their changerooms
(and a roundup of other essays)
Greetings everyone,
Here’s my latest columns and essays.
At First Things, I have a column titled “The dark future of over-the-counter contraception,” on the FDA’s approval of “Opill.” An excerpt:
This “new chapter in reproductive health” is thus likely to be a grim one. It is already easy for teens to access birth control; now it will be easier for them to do so while keeping their parents and family physicians in the dark, eliminating the possibility of essential conversations about health and sexuality. An increase in risky sexual behavior will result in more unwanted pregnancies and the destruction of more pre-born children. Government approval of over-the-counter birth control will also contribute to our culture's “contraceptive mindset,” encouraging the belief that men and women—and boys and girls—can use one another without consequence, and that healthy fertility is a condition to be treated.
I have several essays up at The European Conservative, as well. I’ve got an essay on a UBC professor’s vile gaslighting of teenage girls who don’t want to see male genitalia in their changerooms—and her even more repulsive suggestion for what to do about their requests for privacy:
I have an obituary for the era-defining novelist Martin Amis, which ran in the print edition and is now available online, discussing what Amis got right—and wrong—about the sexual revolution:
And finally, I have an essay on the U.K. woman who was imprisoned for killing her pre-born baby girl with abortion pills when she was eight months pregnant:
As always, I’ve got plenty of other short, regular culture updates on The Bridgehead, and you can get a copy of Prairie Lion: The Life and Times of Ted Byfield here and here, and my other books here.
Thank you, as always, for taking the time to read!
